Grand romantic gestures are Housewifes On Call Driver Side Job Day and Nightall the rage in highschool, but park rangers would really appreciate it if teens kept their promposals away from protected lands.

Rangers from the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in California are currently on the hunt for a promposal vandal who decided to pop the big question on a beautiful, protected rock near Sandstone Peak.

Not cool, kid. Not. Cool.

On Thursday afternoon, a concerned official by the name of Ranger Zach shared a photograph of the defaced rock, which now reads "PROM?" in white graffiti, to Twitter and Facebook.

"We love hearing about creative promposals," he wrote, "but damaging public lands is not the way to do it."

Also, spray painting a nice rock does not qualify as creative.

Ranger Zach went on the explain that this is the second year in a row the promposal graffiti was scrawled on the rock. He is urging anyone with information about the crime to contact dispatch.

So teens, please be respectful. Next time you want to invite your crush to prom how about you try using a nice custom Snapchat filter or a catchy musical number to woo them instead?
