Chris Myers is thankful that he grew up next to a parking lot. His favorite childhood prank is serving him well in dealing with annoying people. Whenever someone parks in a space reservered for the disabled, he leaves a note on the windshield that says, "I'm so sorry I hit your car. It doesn't look like the damage was severe." then he signs a name but he makes it just messy enough to be illegible. "It works best if the person owns a fancy car," says the thirty-one-year student at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. "The driver scrambles around trying to find the damage, and then they're also faced with the decision of whether to call and report it to the police even though they are parked in an illegal space." And if he is feeling particularly perverse, Myers adds a phone number to the note. The best is to use a phone number for a grough that advocates on behalf of the disabled.
