Dear man in the car park, why the hell did you think it was okay to leave this note?

 

“Good evening hotest most sexiest ladys xoxo [sic]”

That is the beginning of a note left on one Sydney woman’s windscreen this week. What follows is so unsettling, it’s prompted her to contact police.

It was Monday night, around 7pm, when Michelle and her colleague drove their company car into a popular, inner-city parking station. When they returned the following morning, there was a piece of cardboard wedged under the wipers.

“I saw you pull up tonight,” the letter reads, “I was sitting across from you on the other side of the road. When I saw you both my cock started throbbing and I began fantasing about bein used by you both [sic]. I 40 [sic]. Good looks. Well hung. 1/2 cast NZ. Willing to be your f**k toy.”

"It's just so gross," Michelle told Mamamia. "It's hard to believe that someone's prepared to leave that kind of filth on your windscreen."

The note concludes with a phone number.

"I'm just worried whether he's done it before, and whether he might do it again," said Michelle. "I mean, that happened at 7pm when it was really busy."

Hearing Michelle's story all sorts of questions crop up. How could this stranger possibly have thought such a note would work? Did he think the women would be flattered? That they'd be interested in the crude advances of a man they've never laid eyes on? It's like an extreme version of the wolf whistle or cat call. Un-invited, invasive, dehumanising.

Michelle is just grateful she and her colleague weren't physically harmed.

"It could have been someone young and vulnerable and alone," she said. "Then maybe he would have gone that extra mile and approached them. That to me is the awful part."
