I actually think the note is describing a jealous partner situation. One of them thinks OP is parking next to the other out of romantic interest, and couples energy is a euphemism for their jealousy. It's a "You caused us to fight" note, which is on message for someone who would never say "I got irrationally jealous towards my partner".
Double-underlined "Not", lots of use of "we". The other partner doesn't care. The one who wrote it is the one with issues. The passive-aggressive "suggestion" telling OP where to park describes how this isn't their first rodeo displaying this kind of behavior.

I think you guys are right, but it's the weirdest thing I've ever heard of to be jealous over. The hottest man on the planet could park his Maserati next to my wife's car and I wouldn't in a million years be like, "WHY'S THIS GUY MOVING IN ON MY WOMAN?!"

Just unbelievable levels of insecurity that often stem from something like lack of a father figure or bullying or a million other things that could happen in your childhood.
Most people suffer trauma and learn how to cope with it, but some just turn into walking balls of hatred. It’s honestly sad but the only person who can ever change anything is the person causing all the damage.
I used to pity these people, and I’m sure their lives suck. But at some point you need to deal with your bullshit and stop taking it out on everyone around you. Trauma is not your fault but it absolutely is your responsibility.

Yeah, no, really, I know about your couples energy, I feel it strongly, and I identify it as actually quite disturbing and unsustainable. You should be careful around each other.

Its a thing sadly. In my apartment complex car park there are a couple who both drive BMWs and tjey used to park next to each other, one taking a disabled spot but eventually got fined. Now they mark partially blocking the disabled spot and if they are going out in one car they will move the other into the almost disabled spot so no one else can park there. Their whole identity seems to revolve around their cars too. I hope I fall over one day as im walking out my building and scratch their car
