(sez: FIX ME PLS (before i fix you!!))

One time in college I was pissed off at an uninvited guest so I wrote the lyrics to Radiohead - A Wolf at the Door on a little white wash board (all scrunched like), I realized it was stupid and I didn't know what my roomie would think about it, so I wiped off parts of the lyrics with my finger (zig-zag like) - only making it more incomprehensible. Then I played that song over and over again in my passive aggressive zoned out rage. I ended up scripting a letter to the uninvited guest guy and recited it on his answering machine. The last I heard from him was on the phone and he was like 'fuck, man that hurts'. I had all the dudes clothes in a garbage bag sitting outside the apartment door and he never came and picked it up. Im ashamed that I left such a long mean spirited message that was cleverly written to make feel like shit. He owed me money though.

wow

they sound like toilet rolls in a panto.

anyone who uses that particular emoticon in a needless passive-aggressive note deserves some kind of karmic encounter

I'm partial to the ones that involve displays. Compositionally, I'd have put the empty toilet paper roll to the right of the note, though the slight diagonal of the roll is nice.

jaunty, even

Oh man, I should have taken a cellphone pic of the note hanging above the urinal at my gf's work. It's a memo from the editor addressed to "gentlemen" and says something like "Apparently some of the men in this building are unable to use the urinal without missing. For those who cannot consistently hit the mark, I suggest sitting down instead. Sincerely, G***"

lololololololol

this thread just keeps bringing the lols.

One place where I worked had a really uptight guy who posted a notice in the men's washroom that read "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES AND LEAVE THESE CUBICLES A MESS. IT IS DISGUSTING. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WILL NOT HESITATE TO NAME AND SHAME IF IT CONTINUES."

did he call you out?

It wasn't me! Actually the guy who was responsible didn't give a shi... oh wait...

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE

This raises a question.

there's a note in our workplace bathroom that admonishes ppl to not leave pots and pans in the bathroom.

i mean...what.

! why the hell would... you know, never mind, I've already had one thread today where someone described an acquaintance's handshake as a mixture of "soul-handshake" and "dropping it like it's hot", I don't need more perplexing human behavior today

Maybe it's because people feel that others might need a pot to piss in?

Wouldn't it be easier to link straight to the passive-aggressive notes blog instead of copying and pasting the images from each update?

^^^ Passive-aggressive post

It would be easier if that was what I wanted to do.

Someone caught on.

Why does someone keep questioning the method of lol-bringing in this thread? Would you like it if we questioned your lol-bringing methods?

All you need are the four magic words: What happened? I'm confused.

the sign in my office's kitchen says something like "remember to rinse your dishes, your mother will be so proud!"

I've seen other variations on this 'clean up after yourself + (something about your mother)' - I think any sign that mentions your mother in any form automatically becomes passive aggressive

I think any sign that mentions your mother in any form automatically becomes passive aggressive

I dunno about that. "Clean up your shit, motherfucker!" is not particularly passive.

would much prefer that sign

there is a sign in our kitchen that says "clean up the counter! so (name of janitor here} doesn't have to do it!" which begs about a billion questions such as

A) who the fuck spills shit all over a counter and doesn't wipe it up
B) what is the janitor's JOB?

Our kitchen signs are a photo of a dog standing on its hind legs using one of those dust-pans with the long handle to pick up ITS OWN POO. I try not to notice them. Really? In the KITCHEN??

pretty impressive dog, tho

clearly only ladies would be bothered by having someone shit on their floor

maybe Frank is only interested in shitting on ladies' kitchen floors. Maybe it's a sex thing?

I actually know someone who did that in someone else's hotel bathroom -- i.e., purposefully, in the middle of the floor, in the hotel bathroom -- and seemed to find it pretty funny.

It doesn't seem particularly funny, though.

was this someone 4 years old?

a guy i knew at university was on football curry night out, climbed up on top of a sports car, and took a shit on the roof. he is married now.

I've always wanted to know if Frank peaced on the kitchen floor, or did a "peace out" after he was done shitting.

There's kind of a magical, pixie-dust quality in being able to shit on command, I think.

The someone was probably like 23 at the time? I dunno. It doesn't even seem like a plausible "imagine the look on their faces" joke, because the looks would just be of horror and revulsion and total conviction that the person responsible was borderline insane.

xpost - it seems like an integral component of this kind of prank that you leave very, very, very soon after putting the, umm, wheels in motion

I meant to put "prank" in scare quotes, BTW

According to the chronology of the note, he shit, then peaced. Peaced being short for "did a peace out" makes sense, though I've never heard it before.

well, it is williamsburg

how would one peace on a floor...?
