Not my note.

It's so easy to rip people down. Pump someone's tires. It means way more than you can imagine.

the weird part to me is writing such a long note and putting it on the car.
if it was delivered in person (and then there's still a lot that could make it weird), or the note was just "hey man, couldn't help but notice you seem to be a great parent, props from a fellow camper", i'd be more comfortable with it.

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. I can understand how something coming across as overly specific could be creepy.

I think I'd put a bit more details to show actual examples then it doesn't sound hollow. I think I would feel weird if it was just a random short note. Like, what did I do? Did I make a scene? So to avoid making someone else feel that way I'd add a few examples in the least weird way possible ๐Ÿ˜„

But I'm autistic and tend to question my way of viewing things a lot, so maybe that's just a me thing ๐Ÿ˜‰
