Sainsbury's shopper upset to discover 'disgusting' handwritten note left on her car

A woman has hit back at the person who left a rude and spiteful note on her car following a minor incident in the car park at Sainsbury’s in Cheltenham.

The woman, who did not want to be named, was shocked to see the handwritten note on her vehicle following what she considered to have been a minor incident, Gloucestershire Live reports.

Talking about it on social media, she said she “tapped” another vehicle when she opened her car door.

After seeing the woman driver in her car, which she said was parked across two spaces, she said she later found the note.

It read: “Fat people need to drive thin cars and be more polite. I hope you have an accident.”

Under a photograph of the note, the woman vented her anger at having received it.

In a message to whoever wrote it, she said: "Shame on you for making such derogatory remarks about another person, you must be a very sad and bad person for wishing that someone has an accident.

"Glad I don’t know you."

She added that she was sad that an adult had behaved in a way that resembled a bully in a playground.

The shopper also said that she was feeling okay after being on the wrong end of the unpleasant words.

She said: “At 54 and size 12/14, I didn’t take offence but this person doesn’t know my journey and for her to make such a horrible comment and wish me harm is beyond belief.”

A string of comments were posted in support of her from people who were horrified at what had been said in the note.

One person said: “That's disgusting, what a terrible thing to even think, let alone put it in writing.”

Another said: “Fat people can lose weight but the person who put that note on your car has an ugly heart.”

And a third person said: “For someone to write this, they are sick and twisted. They certainly are not good members of society, so don’t worry, they’re letting out because their own life is horrendous.”
