Writing notes to strangers— the epitome of pettiness, the pinnacle of passive-aggression. Handcrafted messages provide the perfect avenue to express your discontent without the need for direct confrontation. It’s an artful method to convey your thoughts in the most cunning and savage way possible. Let’s begin!
Always the wise guy
Someone had to play the role of the joker and proudly announce their triumphant flush. It’s undeniably hilarious, and soon enough, everyone else joined in on the fun. So, even if the bowl isn’t sparkling clean, it guarantees a good laugh.
A Horse Marks His Territory
I hope that horse’s minty-fresh-sounding name means the pee doesn’t smell too bad either. But hey, a horse has gotta mark its territory sometimes, you know?
This person really doesn’t want their parking spot taken, huh.
I’ve seen some people get worked up over parking spots, but never like this. Any man willing to pull out the Vaseline over this is a man of sheer will. Alright, buddy. You can keep the spot.
I’m gonna guess this happened at least 3 times already.
When 2 notes aren’t enough, a 3rd note should do the trick. Cats are craft little things. They excel at getting into places they’re not supposed to be. I’m particularly impressed by one of the cats’ ability to pretend it’s not interested before bolting for the door. I can’t even be mad at that.
Who needs a two weeks notice?
If you’re ever going to resign from a job, you generally want to follow the good old rule of giving a 2 weeks notice. Or you can be like this person and just announce that it’s “effective immediately.” What an outstanding move, truly.
Someone’s a big fan of Office Space.
The vocabulary here is nothing special. The grammar leaves a lot to be desired, and the handwriting is best not addressed. But that clever little reference to a line form Office Space earns it a spot on this list.
Getting pretty creative with the resignation letters, are we?
Resignation notices don’t have to be too special, but that didn’t stop this guy from trying. Formatting it with a letter meant for the loss of a loved one is pretty clever. You think they’re grieving over you leaving, huh?
Well, we’ve got a sadist on our hands.
When you want to mess with the traffic warden, how do you do it? Like this. Make them look for the ticket that shows you have permission. Now that’s true evil.
That’ll teach them.
Park badly enough times, and you’re bound to get a message like this. Maybe next time, you’ll remember to follow the parking lines?
You heard ’em.
Game Of Thrones was the world’s favorite show, and I get nostalgic about the times when we were all excited to see the next episode. This person absolutely, positively wants no spoilers and turned to notes to let others know. Wonder if they tried putting a wax seal on it too, or having a raven carry the note around the office.
Love in the wrong place.
If I mistakenly sent a love letter to the wrong person, I would probably do this too. On the flip side, imagine the disappointment on the recipient’s face when they find out it wasn’t actually for them. Just when you thought someone had feelings for you, right?
Straightforward. I like it.
Resignation letters don’t have to be long, but this person took it really far in the other direction. At least on their next job interview, they can be totally honest and say they know how to get to the point. Also, they didn’t bother to even sign this.
That’s my favorite pop son- oh.
When you’re this frustrated with someone, sugarcoating is pretty hard to do. A viral pop song helps get the message across. This person opted to start it easy and then flip a switch towards the end. Hey, maybe stop blocking their driveway?
Man wants to be Batman so bad.
Some people don’t like doing jury duty, but you can’t really leave just because you want to. Well, it’s time to get a bit clever. This person here decided to prove that they’re too insane to be part of a jury. That’s one way to do it.
The Kindness of Strangers
It’s truly heartwarming to come across stories of kindness, just like the one Liz exemplified when she graciously covered a stranger’s parking ticket.
Her selflessness and empathy toward an unknown individual not only spared them from a penalty but also added a touch of radiance to their day.
Sometimes, you gotta be a little passive aggressive.
When reminding them nicely isn’t enough, you’ve got to be a little more direct. A passive aggressive message can work pretty well. Just make sure you can back it up if need be.
I won’t say it again!
I don’t want to eat from a spoon that someone’s dirty, unwashed hands touched. Nobody does. And when you have a perfectly working spoon scoop there, people have little excuse. So the blunt wording here is pretty justified.
The kind of passive aggressive that I like.
It’s no secret that a lot of employers see us as nothing more than exploitable, money-making entities that help them grow their companies. This person had to deal with the loss of a loved one and several health issues. When even that wasn’t a good enough reason to miss work, they let their employer have a piece of their mind. And I’m proud of them.
I bet you think you’re really funny.
Imagine the mini-heart attack you’d get seeing this from afar. Then the massive sigh of exasperation that exits your mouth when you read the words “I hope you thought this was a ticket.” If you noticed, the text is clearly printed on and not written by hand. So someone took the time to print that on just for this gag.
You really love that mug, don’t you?
When you’ve got a fancy reindeer mug like that, you’d take good care of it too. If your coworkers keep touching it or using it, you would probably leave a note like this too. Well, joke’s on you. They’ll just leave a note back.
