Step 1: Don't get angry. While a metallic marvel resting on a sidewalk might not be your cup of tea, it's a very low level offense in the eyes of the law. Retaliation in any form, like causing permanent damage to the car, could be considered a felony. Don't even think about it! Come to think of it, you should write an apology note just for contemplating such a thing, you monster.

Step 2: When you're done writing a pleasant, self-effacing note, delicately post it on the car. Throw in a few bucks as well for their troubles! After that, simply walk around that steel beauty on the street, ever so slightly bowing your head in reverence and shame.

Step 3: Once you passed your combustible, metal superior, find the nearest police station and turn yourself in for jaywalking. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Having this kind of humility when it comes to traversing our city streets will go a long way to making our cities better for motorists everyone.
