While shopping at Walmart, they returned to their vehicle to find a note tucked under the windshield wipers.</p><p>"My stomach dropped thinking someone hit my car and left their contact information,"&nbsp;they wrote.</p><p>Instead, the note read: "Dam Easterners coming to Alberta to be safe. Gutless cowards."</p><p>It's not entirely clear what the author of the message meant by "safe in Alberta."&nbsp;Perhaps they were briefly possessed by the ghost of Ralph Klein, given the tone toward eastern Canadians.</p><blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height: 500px;"><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/comments/1k4u8nt/from_ontario_first_grocery_experience_someone/">From Ontario first grocery experience someone left a note on my car.</a><br />by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/woundedrhyme1/">u/woundedrhyme1</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/">Calgary</a></blockquote><p>Calgary commenters were quick to call out the note-leaver, many pointing out the irony of an anonymous note accusing someone else of being cowardly.</p><p>One commenter&nbsp;<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Calgary/comments/1k4u8nt/comment/mocvgv2/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button" rel="noopener" target="_blank">said</a>, "Wait until he finds out that Toronto has '<a href="https://dailyhive.com/calgary/new-albertans-alberta-is-calling">Alberta is Calling</a>'&nbsp;posters everywhere in the city."</p><p>"The real gutless coward is the asshat that left the note.
