The trail of rose petals started at the front door, went up the stairs, and ended in the bedroom. That’s where @freekyfrogy left his roommate a very romantic surprise.

This love note might sound like a very bold come-on, but wait until you see who wrote it. Looks like the only thing Gary will be getting dirty with is the dish water.

Don’t be so sure you know the answer to that question! The goal in this choose-your-own-adventure style game is to get to the square that says “Ok have a nice day.”

Redditer @profbalto said that his roommate posted this sign in everyone’s bathroom. Here’s a less complicated line of thought:

“Did you use the bathroom? No. Are you sure? Yes. Go wash your hands anyways.”

Someone looked like they were really stressing out. So, this pot-smoking idiot was kind enough to leave his roommate a (fake) rolled joint.

Over or under? Roommates are always fighting over this when it comes to the toilet paper roll. Looks like this genius solved that problem once and for all.

@Lapoon:

“I told my roommate he was putting the tp on backwards and then I find this.”

Martin Spooner King has a dream, one where everyone is considered an equal when it comes to household chores. This is certainly a witty way to get the point across!

@pestoner:

“My roommate put this on our fridge…”

I don’t blame him, I wouldn’t want to risk it either. Brain damage is some pretty serious doody to have on your hands!

@dressedtoregress:

“My friend and his roommates disagree.”

This roommate left an empty toilet paper roll on the counter to make a point. It said:

“I’m so sad here. If only I had a place to live…”

So roommie #2 did his due diligence and made it a cozy little home.

Don’t you just hate roommates who help themselves to your food, just because it’s in the fridge? Susie found a neat way to take care of that problem for good.

Matt was upset when Scott forgot to take out the garbage and recycling bins. Scott took the opportunity to piss off Matt even more by correcting his grammar like a grade-school teacher.

“My roommate leaves me notes to remind me to do chores. This makes him angry.”

Verdict: You are not the father of that drain clog! It was the water balloon, hair tie, and marble that were at fault.

@Ceejeh:

“My roommate trimmed his beard over the sink. After it clogged we made him clean it. Came home to this.”

If you’re going to be a thief, be smart about it. Posting pictures of your dinner on Instagram is not smart.

The girlfriend won’t have to look very far if the boys continue to misbehave. Lint is excellent fire starter.

@ATLAustin:

“I live with three other guys and this is what my girlfriend left on our dryer.”

Sometimes your roommates are actually your parents. Or in Karin’s case, he was very specifically her balding, middle-aged dad.

From Karin in Michigan:

“I found this note taped on the window above the sink after I left a cup on the counter rather than putting it in the dishwasher. I guess my dad thought this approach would be easier than yelling.”

@thehelldamnguy got a little bit cheeky with this one. Hopefully his roommates don’t have any dirty girlfriends, or the situation might get really interesting.

Some of us like to get notifications on our phone telling us when we have a doctor’s appointment, or when our favorite podcast goes live. This roommate makes it a point to let everyone else know when the rent is due.

@Pkfighter7942:

“How my buddy reminds his roommates to pay their rent.”

Roommate #1 deleted the nice Mario drawing to post his lame word of the day.

“Recidivate – relapse; to go back to bad behavior.”

In response, @MotorBoater22 drew a replacement Mario cartoon, which brilliantly incorporated the word of the day onto the whiteboard.

“Roommate replaced my Mario doodle with a word of the day on our white board…”

This guy went out of his way to tell his roommates that this is what a clean sink should look like after they do the dishes. If you can’t spot the passive-aggressiveness, here’s a hint: it’s a picture a clean sink that’s been placed over a dirty plate and utensils.

This roommie let his pizza burn to a crisp. @Lewgold wanted him to know that it was a waste of perfectly good hangover food!

In the bestselling Doing Dishes For Dummies book, any roommate can learn how to do dishes with confidence, using a sponge, soap, and hot water! I can’t wait for the sequel, Taking Out The Trash: how to bag, tag, and get rid of smelly stuff before the garbage truck arrives.

@sandman14732:

“Quick bit of passive aggressive photoshop I threw together tonight for my housemates.”

What a cool roommate! It’s like sweet and sour pork, except it’s cake, and you won’t be hungry an hour after you eat these sentiments.

@largerthanlogic:

“I moved into my girlfriend’s apartment today and her roommate baked me a cake.”

Rent was due, so this roommie made a show of making sure it was seen. An extra dollar bill to make a comma after “rent” would have been an extra nice touch, though.

@animaldoggie:

“My roommate gave me the rent money today.”

In this clever game, you can wax and wipe at the same time! Your turn to roll, roommie.

@goingTofu:

“Roommate rarely contributes, decided to keep my TP in my room and see how long this stays.”

Never mess around with a die-hard Diet Coke fan. The addiction is real. You’ve been warned!

“Take my last Diet Coke from the fridge and I WILL cut you.”

This is just the tip of the iceburg. The real scathing passive-aggressiveness has yet to pop up show.

This roommate went out of their way to wax and seal their water bottle. If the seal is broken, they will know.

@RobH779:

“What happens when your housemate has a wax seal and trust issues.”

Well, that’s fair enough. But he could have at least put a vise grip on it and called it good.

@Petyrbro:

“Asked my roommate to fix the doorknob. Came home to this. Ain’t even mad.”

Got milk? Apparently not. It also like this fridge actually needs more of everything.

Hiding the pots and pans doesn’t make them clean, yo! And neither does bantering back and forth with sticky notes.

Don’t touch it! You don’t know where that sock has been. Especially if it’s from a college dorm.

@Jiminycricketmuncher’s roommate was saving up all their candy hearts for a special occasion like this. The love between them is real.

Those pumpkins still look amazing! But, it’s clearly not Halloween anymore. It’s been 97 days and counting.

@andomr:

“Roommate’s pumpkins – Delicately drawing the line between passive-aggressive post-it notes and reasonable reminders.”

Most passive-aggressive roommates stick to Post-It notes to express themselves. But, this anonymous Redditer decided to get creative with her sticky note.

“My roommate is always leaving passive aggressive notes about what she does around the house. Thought I’d join in.”

This is a very long note from @Guitarmaggedon’s roommate, but it’s funny if you can get through it! Here’s the tl;dr (too long; didn’t read) version:

An unknown roommate put some really disgusting stuff in the trash, the garbage bag got punctured somehow, and roommate who was on trash duty suffered from horrific nightmares thereafter.

“All that remained was the evil brown sludge forged in the bowels of roadkill by the devil himself. Only time will tell if I was able to eradicate all local traces of hell on earth that fell onto the floor of men.”

Amen, brother!

Yikes, you probably don’t want to second guess a roommate like this. Whatever you do, don’t touch his junk!

It’s obviously a diet pizza. His roommates were passively-aggressively insulting him, too.

First rule of toilet seat club, the lid always stays down. Second rule of toilet seat club, the lid always stays down. Got it?

@myfictionalcharacter:

“I live with three girls. Forgot once to put the toilet seat down in four months.”

Like most passive-aggressive folks, Austin didn’t feel like being confrontational with his roommate about the hair that was clogging the drain. So he wrote a limerick instead!

“My roommate never actually said anything about the note, but he did clean the drain out by the time I’d arrived home…so I assume he got the message.”

Sometimes roommates try to get sneaky with a trick question. The outcome is always the same, and it’s never in your favor.

For people who grew up with wolves, here’s a life lesson on toilet paper. When the roll is empty, you’re supposed to replace it.

@girltyss:

“When passive aggressive meets the roommate that resorts to using tissues before replacing the toilet paper roll (repeatedly).”

@nyggah says this is how he passively-aggressively reminds his housemates to wash their dishes. I don’t think shark-face man is scary enough to actually get them to lift a finger.

@gringogidget has a much better idea:

“I bought restaurant bus bins and would put them in front of the roomate’s doors. When someone would get home with a guy/girl they would be awfully embarrassed with a tray of dirty dishes in front of their door.”

It can change your life…and the world! What a super thoughtful roommate, always thinking of the greater good.

@maxgongaware:

“New roommate is apparently leaving me subtle, passive aggressive reminders now…”

He offered his roommate’s girlfriend blankets to keep her warm, but she refused. So this is what he had to resort to.

@bio_librarian:

“My roommate’s girl friend had been staying with us and I’ve been waking up to a hot ass house so I posted this on the thermostat.”

@EL7 says that his roommate may or may not be sexist. I guess that depends on how well their aim is.

Don’t you hate it when everyone else’s stuff gets piled up in the sink? Solution: pick a new dumping ground.

Jocelyn from London said:

“Since moving into halls for the first year of university, our hygiene skills have gone downhill, to say the least. Finally, one of our roommates cracked and cleaned up the rotting mess…or so we thought. Instead, he just found a new ‘dumping ground.'”

Don’t treat the common areas as a walk-in closet! Or you may find it getting prepped for the neighborhood’s next garage sale.

The submitter of this note says:

“If I’d had my way, it’d be on the sidewalk with a ‘free stuff’ sign.”

It’s time to check yourself if you’re doing what Adolf Hitler loves to do. This is passive-aggressive propaganda at its finest!

@Irishrock94:

“My flatmate stuck this up, I feel like he’s trying to tell me something.”

But, Jesus also wouldn’t touch a Pop Tart because he can just make fish out of thin air. He also wouldn’t be so blatantly passive-aggressive like this goof.

Apparently people need to be taught how to clean up after themselves, because dirty dishes are a common theme on this thread. Or maybe this is actually mom teaching her kiddos a valuable life lesson.

This roommate went to a lot of effort to get their point across. But, all anyone has to do is roll up the blinds and ignore it.

Girl Scout cookies aren’t sound year-round. So when the cookie-selling season stops, things start to get real. This roommate certainly isn’t going to get a merit badge for sharing.

How udderly fabulous! This jokester is certainly milking it for all it’s worth.

What’s worse? Being cocky, or bringing a half-used bar of Irish Spring soap to the party?

@ToABank:

“My friend is passive aggressive, his roommate is just a dick.”

Looks to me like this roommate has a special stamp made especially for occassions like this that says “Really?” on it. It lets them be passive-aggressive on the fly!

@traciecarpenter:

“In the time it took you to print on a post-it you could have just loaded the dishwasher.”

Even though rice is one of the cheapest commodities on the planet, this roommate is not willing to share. Like the note in the psychedelic rice bin says, buy your own.

Not only is all her food off limits. But, her stash of tea is not for sharing either. I can’t imagine what she would be like if you asked her for a single sugar cube.

The roommate first found the note:

“while trying to rearrange a kitchen cabinet that is completely dominated by my roommate’s freakishly large collection of stale old teas.”

There’s absolutely no reason that your roommate should be snooping around in your drawers. But, when they do, remind them of the conversation you had about the eye serum.

Looks like someone is feeling a little bit chippy! This roommate neglected to mention that the floor chip also misses having a clean carpet, too.

When a spotty banana can’t speak for themselves, there’s always a passive-aggressive roommie to speak on their behalf. Because it’s not like a banana is supposed to get ripe before you eat it, or anything.

Nadine Duca:

“Aw!!! There’s a banana at my home in the same situation. Now this made me feel sad… Banana for dinner, I guess.”

…Who is the most passive-aggressive of them all? Your roommate, of course!

“My roommates tend to slip up when it comes to cleaning. One in particular always leaves a mess of toothpaste all over the sink. Looks like a minty rainfall. The mirrors over the sink rarely escape the toothpaste splatter as well. Needless to say, I wasn’t diggin’ it, but I didn’t want to confront them and seem like the bad guy. Hence, the birth of this post-it.”

Ethiopians aren’t the only ones who are going hungry. The empty dish rack is starving, too.

A wine cup that’s been bedazzled with rhinestones is pretty tacky. But, it’s even tackier when the cup still smells like last Friday’s Cristal knock-off drink.

They keep writing passive-aggressive love notes to each other. In the meantime, the dishes still aren’t getting done.

@Duk-e:

“A month ago my roommate wrote me a passive aggressive note about doing the dishes. He never does the dishes.”

I think they offer this as an upgrade at some nail salons. It feels even better than the little fishies that eat the dead skin off your toes.

“It’s just so specific. So very specific. P.S. I didn’t drop the noodles.”

Molly’s pet peeve is drippy faucets. Julie’s pet peeve is spelling errors. Molly’s 2nd pet peeve is “having to tell ppl to turn the facet off in the first place.”

Why don’t they just pin the tail on the donkey and see who is the biggest passive-aggressive winner?

He’s right, this guy totally scored! But he still lost, because he had to touch that hot mess of wet, clogged-drain hair.

@BurritoSchits

“I think I’ve won the passive-aggresive war…”

How does someone even forget to flush the toilet? Did they zone out and forget they just went to the bathroom?

@hunterkil2:

“My roommate always forgets to flush the toilet; this was my solution.”

This Easter Bunny doesn’t know anything about stealth. He made it too easy for his roommate to find these passive-aggressive Easter eggs.

But, green petri dishes go so well with green eggs and ham. Cheers, mate!

Ben, who lives with a whopping 17 roommates, said:

“While living in a house in London with 17 people from all over the world, things become way too green. This had to be done every once in a while in order to remind others not to overpopulate our kitchen with new living organisms.”

“Sour cream covered spoon, left in sink before leaving town for four days.” That’s how Justin Cousson described the masterpiece left behind by his traveling roommate.

“My passive-aggressive art gallery is thriving, although some critics don’t care for my emphasis on found pieces.”

This stunning piece is described as, “Forgotten milk, left to actively go rancid in fridge far beyond sell-by date.”

@justincousson:

“I must inform you that reports the exhibition is complete are, in fact, inaccurate.”

Emily spotted this threat/warning/request in the bathroom of a women’s college dorm in New York City. The “women’s college” part certainly explains the vibrating razor part of the note.

It didn’t sit well with Kayla that her roommate borrowed her Venus razor. So she made it a point to bring Hepatitis C into the picture.

There’s no greater danger to the world than a pissed-off hippy roommate. They will smile while they eat granola and cut you!

“There’s a master’s student living in our shared student house – the kind who lives off hemp protein and lentils. Anyway, the house has an hallway running through the middle, with his room on one side and a landing on the other. This note appeared on the landing the other day. I think it has the perfect combination of smiley faces, violent threats, love and climate change.”

This gal is peeved at the thief who keeps taking off with her knickers. To be honest, she might want to think about meeting up with the “panty thief.” The fact that he liked to take off with her black thongs says everything about him.
