But He took the wheel

September 27th, 2007 · 105 comments

Summer from Decatur, Georgia says she found this note “left on a car piously parked while attempting to attend mass on vacation” in Galveston, Texas.

Dear fellow Christian, The lawns of homeowners on this street are not public parking. Please

Stealing Hot Pockets is apparently not the only thing that Jesus wouldn’t do.

Where Would Jesus Park?

    Wow, way to break out the Golden Rule with that first note. Wouldn’t the Christian thing to do is share your grass with thy neighbor?

    Okay, that second one is worth a chuckle, not PA, but hey.

    That third one is funny, especially when you read the backstory. This is the PA style I can get behind — being a wiseass handing out bad (or illegal) parking justice. Heigh ho, Silver, and annoy! Whee!

    Finally, I am assuming this is from the UK, gleaning from ‘tyre’ and ‘sort it out’. I love that they have to point out the legality of the situation, and how selfish you are by putting you and others at risk. Bald Tyre Police to the rescue!

    Jesus has enough going on to be concerned with bald tires, with all of the Hot Pockets being stolen and all.

    Loving that the last one isn’t just a casual note scribbled on an old scrap of paper from their own car or whatever, but a proper spend-some-time-at-home-and-wang-it-in-one-of-those plastic-wallets-to-protect-it-from-our-crappy-British-weather effort.

    Maybe Jeezus can pay for a new set of rear tires…hmmmm? Or he could perform that water into wine trick and instead turn bald tires into new. I like that idea.

    What Would Scooby Do?
    These are good notes…the type that make your skin crawl. One time I found a note on my minivan that said, “If you would park your car just a few inches further up, Asshole, I could have parked my car here, too.” As I took the note off of my windshield, I felt extremely paranoid and began looking around, trying to figure out if the note-writer was hiding nearby with a BB-Gun, just waiting to tag me. However, in my defense, when I had parked along the street, there was a car directly in front of me and I had actually moved forward enough to touch his/her bumper…
    Grrrr…
    This series of P-A notes have caused a flood of bad memories! Now I’ll have a horrid day. Jeez…I…must…kick…a…dog…

    True, lauralai. A Texas lawn is holy ground.

    And I am sure that the person parking on the lawn:

    a. will regale his/her friends of their persecution.

    b. be convinced in their own mind that the lawn-owner is not really a “fellow christian”, or they would not object to having their lawn torn up “to the glory of God.”

    common sense SHOULD dictate that you just dont park on someones lawn.

    i LOVE how the notewriter assumes this person is a fellow christian, or uses that as a guilt-trip. guilt trips dont work on me, personally.

    i havent been to church in ages, but i have always hated navigating the parking lots at churches. its “praise jesus” until evryone is trying to leave. ive seen some nasty violent behavior in church parking lots.

    lauralaiwc, Sunday mornings are arguably the most dangerous time on the road as I’ve noticed. After all, your average church-goer is usually in his 80s.
    Getting out of the parking lot is interesting. We have two ways out and one is usually completely blocked, what with all the cars pulling up to the curb and little old ladies trying to get in.
    Almost every Sunday without fail, somebody manages to park in the fire lane. WTF?

    But seriously – if your car wants to attend mass, I say let it! Freedom of religious expression, people! It’s not just for animate objects!

    Unless, of course, your car is a “Diablo” or “Fury”. Then they can stay on the lawn.

    Also, what does “mass on vacation” look like? Wouldn’t that just be Armageddon?

    Goldie, yes, it is insane. There is a dangerous, winding road that I have to take to get to the nearest highway and it has a church on it. Usually there are police officers out there directing traffic so there isnt a melee.

    but even so, on weekdays, people will linger in the driveway and wait until i am practically to where they are to whip their car out on the road, and get in MY lane, not the empty one next to me, or not waiting 5 seconds to get behind me.

    i have my faith and all, but i would still smack these people around for their stupidity. then they blast you when they have screwed up.

On one of the busiest streeets right next to the University of Texas, there is an old church with all of its parking on the OTHER side fo the road. And I had been stuck there many a time when I lived downtown. Thank god I am an athiest. :)

  • #78   Team Cassandra

    (oopsie) #49, #55, #58 and #73 all speculate on the true nature of Jesus . That’s a lot! It gave me all kinds of new insight into the inner workings of Christianity.

    And #42 and #43 are just funny because I can be a little 8 year old boy like that:P

    As far as I can tell: Team Darwin is in the lead with Team Get the Fuck Off My Lawn at a close second.

    So, after my intensive study, I have decided to join Team Hugs from Jesus with GVI.

    PS. Thank God I don’t drive:)

    Ya, you are right Cassandra, who really cares anyway? It’s not about what *insert name here* would do, it’s about what the noteleavers feel THEY in their moral superiority would do.

    Hmmm. I think the Christians should BURN RUBBER on the lawn, just as they BURNED WITCHES at the stake.

    I’ve been wondering — I know my flag decal won’t get me into heaven anymore, but what about my ribbon-shaped magnets?
    My ‘Honk if You’re a Clumsy Lover’ sticker?

    (Ah swear to gard I saw that bumper sticker on a car today). What in the heck could it all mean?

    re #76 – actually, TC, zsa said it was “holy WINE” in the cooler – not water. Whole ‘nother thing!

    But I agree: Team Darwin FTW!

    Also, re #63 – I think Cincinnati is spelled wrong no matter HOW you spell it!

    I lived near a church. There was a huge parking lot across the street from said church, but the Xtians insisted on parking along the street, NEXT to the church, making it almost impossible to drive down the street.

    I dunno why, but whenever I started singing ‘Nearer my car to Thee,’ as we tried to drive down the street, my dad would punch me in the arm.

    Jesus would car pool.

    I believe that “Sort it Out” does not appear in the bible.

    I’ve often wondered why churches don’t have carpool boards to save on parking. They seem to be into fellowship and togetherness and community on so many other issues; why not this one? And less money spent on gas is more in the collection plate.

    And if the fellow Christian was home to see a car on his lawn, that meant he was skipping church himself! (Yeah, I know, maybe he goes to a different church that lets out earlier. But I have more fun picturing him as a skiver.)

    I used to go to church in a small town where almost all the members lived within a reasonable walking distance. Yet, they all drove every Sunday, filling up the parking lots of the post office and school next door.

    Jesus might be telling you to park on my lawn, but Satan is telling me to call a towing company.

    There is a community of Hasidic Jews (I probable phrased that wrong out of ignorance)near me that has it solved best,…no driving on the Sabbath…they walk to Synagogue.
    It sure adds to family time together, I must say.
    I kinda like it.

    I would have just had the car towed. Honestly, who thinks it's ok to park on a stranger's lawn?

    The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of tire tracks, it was then that I drove you.

    number 3 reminds me of the p-a notes i used to get for parking in the back alley, legally, despite what the wife of the lawyer down the steet would suggest…she also tried to pile on the rationalization that it somehow would endangered her safety because it was her only entrance/exit whereas i have a front street…ironically ditching that hooptie for a new vehicle seems to have solved her concerns

    To y’all who are casting the first stone:

    the person who got the “Dear Fellow Christian” note (not me; too lazy to go to church while on vacation) has a highly developed conscience as well as a sense of humor. She was chagrined to have trespassed on someone’s lawn and caused distress. When showing us the note, she felt the need to explain that she had parked on a sandy patch alongside the road (Galveston Island roads generally have sand on either side) and not realized that the adjacent homeowner considered it “lawn”…
