In the quickly growing field of citizens ratting out and trying to shame their neighbors for their crappy and illegal parking, I now see (via commenter Creightonclark78 here) that yet another option exists beyond going to the police or going to the local newspaper:
"I Park Like a D-Bag" bumper magnets!
Yes, for those who do not want to mess with a "parking deputy app" or who are simply more into self-help, the yougottagged.com website sells these magnets. The site explains that, "we feel that in this crazy, crazy world, we have done something to fix the little selfish actions that are such a nuisance." It suggests that people who spot "douchebaggery" in the parking world should tag the offending car with a magnet, and also take a picture and post it to the yougottagged.com site.
For those who get tagged for their inadequate parking, the website recommends viewing it as a "badge of honor to even get tagged, so quit your whining and welcome and pay it forward with the next D-Bag."
There are not many photos on the yougottagged.com site, but there is one amusing trend in the world of shaming bad parkers that may cause you to bring a piece of chalk with you when you head out to work or to the mall today:
