Commenters on Reddit are abuzz after a user posted a note he received on his truck, parked in the Richmond District. 

The note, shown above, reads as follows:

Dear inconsiderate neighbor,
For the past couple years your truck has been an eyesore in our respectable and humble neighborhood. Daily, my family and I see your truck parked too close to other cars and very far from the curb. This is a very serious hazard and I wouldn't want anyone in the neighborhood getting injured due to your gross negligence. I am a single mother and have worked very hard in my life and now I am a homeowner. I bet you rent don't you? Your vehicle is the biggest blight of the neighborhood and it sets a poor example for my children who are soon to be driving. I cannot imagine the type of family life you had that would engineer such a disrespectful person. Bad parenting/spoiled rotten?

We as a community would like to see you keep your truck cleaner and parked better and more responsibly. I get it, you are some Midwestern transplant, millennial techie that bought his way into the neighborhood. Even though you may be new to the city, you still have to abide by the very basic common courtesy rules of being a decent human. I hate coming home from work and seeing your truck parked in front of my house. I have talked to others that live in the neighborhood and they all share the same feelings. This is your last warning.

Here is a basic list of what we would like to see from you:
-park closer to the curb
-wash your truck at least once a week
-fix your taillight
-keep the trash out of your truck bed
-DO NOT PARK SO CLOSE TO OTHER CARS!
-DO NOT SPEED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD!
Sincerely,
Your concerned neighbors!

Here's what the user (with the self-deprecating handle of u/GreatAtParking) had to say in response:

For the record, I was born in SF and have lived in this neighborhood for 5 1/2 years and only in the last week have received these notes on my car. I got one on Monday that said "you park like an asshole!" when I was parked across the street from where this photo was taken.

In that situation I did park close to the person's bumper, but that was because I didn't want to block the driveway behind me and get a $100 ticket and the person had at least 3 feet of curb in front of them.

The part that bothers me the most is when she attacks my family, I'm so spoiled that I have this 10 year old pickup truck that I bought with my own money?? I'm also not a techie, I work at a grocery store.
