A raging neighbour has divided opinion after they put up a poster blasting an elderly woman for touching their car.

The sternly-written notice, which was written in red ink and put up with cable ties on the railings outside a house, lists a number of alleged wrongdoings by an old woman, and threatens to call the police on her.

It also gave a detailed description of the woman's appearance, and claims she has been caught on camera.

Beginning with a large header which reads "Who the hell do you think you are??", it goes on to address the person as an "old woman, white hair, silver-frame glasses, baby-blue hat, navy coat, black handbag, maroon purse."

It then said: "You pass every morning to get a newspaper between 8:30-8:50am.

"I have you recorded touching my car, waving at my camera (yes, it's real!) and stealing my plants.

"Stop it or I will call the police and give them the live footage of you."

The note has since been shared by the sender on the r/CasualUK messageboard on Reddit, where they said: "How do I confront this person?

"If only I knew where they were going to be on any given day in a convenient 20-minute time window."

"Ah well, a sternly worded passive-aggressive note will have to do."

But some questioned why the individual, who has not been identified, decided to go to the effort of making a poster when they had so closely tracked the other person's movements.

Another user came to the neighbour's defence, as one wrote: "This is completely appropriate. I don't want to talk to a car-touching weirdo when I should already have left for work. The point is that this person now knows and should deter them.

"Confronting them wouldn't do anything that this wouldn't. Keep people like this at arm's length."

Others simply expressed their amusement at the situation, as they debated whether the note can be regarded as 'passive-aggressive' or simply aggressive.
