    In the parking lot where I work the lines for the spaces have been gone for years, so the parking gets quite "creative" at times. A neighboring tenant has a problem with the way some people park and this is how he lets the driver know of his disapproval.

    If you know what car he drives park an old beat up car and when he puts a sign like that on the windshield run into his car with it. When he complains, tell him some donkey put a sign on your car and you were in a hurry and didn't have time to remove it. Once you get the person's name he can make a claim against him for the sign.

    I'm no lawyer, but wouldn't comparative negligence apply? Even if it doesn't I would take my chances in front of a small claims judge (bet he'd love the irony) and if I lost and had to pay for the dent I don't think I would get anymore signs on the windshield. Is it worth it? Of course not, but I'm an donkey. :D

    You wouldn't be in front of a small claims judge. You'd be in front of a criminal judge for assault, battery, etc...

    BTW: It's contributory because you commited a tort. Or at least you would be charged with that.

    I thought it was a fender bender. I didn't know you could commit assault and battery against a car. Didn't mean to imply in my original post he'd be in his car when I ran into it.

    OK, gotcha. You'd be a lot better off if he was not in the car. Of course it would be great to see the look on his face when you rammed into him..... I guess you wouldn't be able to see his face anyway since you would have a big nice person sign in your face.

    Now about that sign and Libel.... :rolleyes:

    I like the libel idea, you hired.

    BTW I grew up in Melbourne by the old Brevard Drive-in.

    Wow no kidding? That's pretty cool. I moved here in 1997 from upstate NY. The drive-in was gone by the time I moved here but I know where it was.
