Ever been annoyed at people who park their cars with almost no consideration to their surroundings? You’re not alone. A white BMW sedan was spray-painted with insults on May 2 after it was spotted by passersby taking up two spaces in a residential parking lot in Beijing.

The words read “stupid c***, you don’t know how to park.” The same words were also sprayed on a nearby Mercedes, in a move which has been seen as a protest against China’s wealthy upper-middle class and their well-known inconsiderate antics. Netizens have shown both support and objection to the defacing of the car, with one asking, “Would this have happened if it was not a BMW? Stop hating rich people!” and another rebuking, “They deserve it.”

Although a blatant disregard for traffic regulations is well documented across China, do you think that this is a discriminate attack against rich people, or is the graffiti justified? Needless to say, a trip to the carwash is surely in order, and our BMW-driving friend can get all that PM 2.5 residue and whatever else scrubbed off his/her car as well.
