A Seattle man claims he discovered a "wild" threatening note on his car after he "glared" at the driver of a Tesla Cybertruck who illegally parked in a handicap spot without an ADA placard.
When the man returned to his car in a Whole Foods parking lot, he found a chilling message allegedly from the Cybertruck driver. "You staring me down like that put me on high alert and made me grab my gun," the handwritten note began.
"Now it's been probably over an hour, and I've been waiting for you to return to your car so I could confront you," the note continued. "Then I was going to beat your ass until I busted your head open regardless of what you said."
The note concluded with a warning: "You never know who you're playing with when you do things like that. Don't do that sh-- again, brother."
The recipient of the note shared it on Reddit and confirmed they reported the incident to the Seattle Police Department.
"Strange and scary times we're in," they wrote. "Hope this guy gets the help he needs and doesn't hurt anyone."
While most commenters found the note alarming and commended the man for reporting the incident to police, many also found humor in the unnecessarily dramatic escalation and the fact that it occurred in the parking lot of an upscale grocery store.
Some Redditors wrote satirical comments from the author's point of view. "Sitting for an hour IN A HANDICAPPED SPOT in the Seattle Whole Foods parking lot, scream-crying and furiously scribbling the note through tears, while Kid Rock's newest album blasts on the stereo," one commenter imagined.
"Fight me in front of the free range chicken products or kiss me in front of the natural deodorant, coward!" another proclaimed.
Another commenter was moved to poetry after one reply referred to the vehicle as a "Swastitruck," writing, "The times may be dire but the insults are fire."
"This certainly isn't changing anyone's perception of Cybertruck drivers," a reader noted.
