^ tip should be: what happened? I'm confused.

Some of the people posting to the flickr pool seem to have confused passive aggressive with aggressive aggressive.

There is nothing passive about this!

xp guys tell me it isn't

goole, Thursday, 26 February 2009 21:58 (fifteen years ago) link

I bet a lot of these were preceded by stressed-out phone calls back to mom by freshman ug's away for the first time who have a four year plan and who don't see why we can't just live like adults whats so hard about that etc. and clever mom thinks i know, why don't you go buy a new sponge! let me know how it goes...bye becky, stay focused.

I posted this on the lookit these fucking cats thread, something about a lost cat that appeared on my neighborhood's google message group.

He wandered from 3300 ridge road. He is an inside outside cat that I
picked up as a stray from the VA. His name is Milo. I work at said
Va all weekend. If you have a family for him though, I have no
problem with him having a good home. I took him off the hill as a
tiny kitten because we have huge foxes up there and he would have been
eaten.

Thank you for taking care of milo

Did the neighbor come and get him, or did you take him to the shelter?

We've decided to keep him ourselves.
He's going to be an indoor cat now.
Peace,

ok, can you do me a favor and post pictures of him periodically. My
daughter has cried for days now about him.
Peace out

^^ neither passive nor aggressive

more like a agonized plea for dignity

obi don quixote (elmo argonaut), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:02 (fifteen years ago) link

are they confusing toilet lid w/toilet seat? Usually if I see a toilet with the lid down, I flush first figuring there's something gross the previous user wanted to hide.

candy corn for lunch and dinner (sarahel), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:02 (fifteen years ago) link

you wouldn't want them brought back tho really

xp

goole, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:03 (fifteen years ago) link

yah i'm imagining note-writer walked into the bathroom and saw the toilet with nice clean water, seat down, lid up, and flipped out at our poor marcus. god what a fucking nutty bitch.

goole, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link

though they're stealing from the dryers, so presumably they are were clean

what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:05 (fifteen years ago) link

lol that paper towel one.

"I AM NOT STINGY, BUT I DEMAND YOU CALL ME FOR PERMISSION WHEN YOU NEED A SQUARE OF PAPER TOWEL."

also: lack of breeding?

circa1916, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link

wait - they're steeling panties ... like pouring molten steel on them Richard Serra style?

what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:07 (fifteen years ago) link

another agonized plea

i'm just going to stop, nothing can top "what happened? i'm confused."

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:08 (fifteen years ago) link

I really wish I could see, like, from what zip code from where these notes are coming.

•--• --- --- •--• (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:08 (fifteen years ago) link

Because someone thought "oh a cake, I'll have some of that", then they took a bite and realised that it tasted of sawdust?

"I AM NOT STINGY, BUT I DEMAND YOU CALL ME FOR PERMISSION WHEN YOU NEED A SQUARE OF PAPER TOWEL."

Seriously, if they had real breeding, they'd use cloth towels.

man someone i know needs to have a cakeworthy occasion just so i cen get them a "congrats on your teen pregnancy" cake

Exodus 14 VS 14 CAGE MATCH FITE (jjjusten), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:09 (fifteen years ago) link

these are all funnier if you add "what happened? im confused" to the end

max, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:09 (fifteen years ago) link

it's "i am confused," which is even funnier.

horseshoe, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:11 (fifteen years ago) link

xpost Hmm, I think she means both rim and seat cover up, which leaves only the porcelain itself to sit upon. Possibly this person has lived with no men, until one fateful day...

Choom Gang Gang Dance (suzy), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:11 (fifteen years ago) link

the infamous roommate that never deleted his insane google searches from the house computer made hundreds of these notes but i never took any pictures ;_;

Local Garda, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:15 (fifteen years ago) link

okay, looking more closely at the cake in the fridge pic, what the hell are those large square tubs to the right of the note? What do those people keep in there?

what happened? I'm confused. (sarahel), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:15 (fifteen years ago) link

The cupcake one is totally justified! That happened with some pears I bought for a recipe last Christmas, I found one on the counter with a huge bite taken out of it and ants crawling all over, like someone had wanted to try one and then thought, "eh, well, I don't really like pears." My response was not a note, though, it was "WHAT THE FUCK? Who the fuck DOES that? ...oh, wait. I know who." I didn't bother writing a note or actually talking to the person because when you've lived with someone long enough you know they don't change.

congrats on your teen pregnancy cake is classic

should have just had that dirty ass paper towel with a note "what happened? i am confused. --->"

max, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:18 (fifteen years ago) link

re this is not a week's worth of shit fuck PLEASE

Cindy's got a point.

Abbe Black Tentacle (GamalielRatsey), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:19 (fifteen years ago) link

why is Cindy cleaning the floor with a paper towel? Doesn't she know it is a social norm to use a mop?

xp to max

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:20 (fifteen years ago) link

I never would leave a note for flatmates btw. I know the golden rule of life always seems to be COMMUNICATE but with flatmates I assume that I do some annoying shit too that they don't mention, or that there is stuff they always buy that I don't. We're all in this weird rota of buying stuff, eg I am the only one who ever buys butter but can't remember the last time I bought toilet roll.

Local Garda, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:20 (fifteen years ago) link

video in my machine is disgusting -- PORN. what happened? i am confused.

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:20 (fifteen years ago) link

Did Paul have to meet the writer of that note at 1PM, or 1AM?
I'm confused...

snoball, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link

Also sounds like PA note-writer owes Paul a porno tape

snoball, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:21 (fifteen years ago) link

that porno was confusing...I remember it

x-post no she owes me a porno tape, I lent it to him!

Local Garda, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:22 (fifteen years ago) link

either that or she just mean she watched it after smoking tons of weed

Local Garda, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:23 (fifteen years ago) link

(xxpost) hahalol

I actually love seeing notes like these, because it's great to know that there are people in the world even more uptight than I am...

snoball, Thursday, 26 February 2009 22:23 (fifteen years ago) link

we got one a few months back from an anonymous neighbour which had that weird rambling style of these notes then a great ending...

"NB, this is NOT the first time this has happened"

Well what is it

Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Tuesday, 31 December 2019 02:15 (four years ago) link

Looks like someone who was hiding something in a trash can would write - they obviously don’t want anyone throwing trash in there.

You know what you have to do

But guess what? Nobody gives a toot!😂 (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 31 December 2019 02:24 (four years ago) link

or move the sign to the trash can

This Is Not a Fugazi Trash Can

Master of Treacle, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 03:51 (four years ago) link

This situation could have been avoided by posting an OUT OF ORDER sign on the broken hand dryer, instead of putting a trash bag over it and then freaking out about people thinking it was a trash can.

epistantophus, Tuesday, 31 December 2019 03:57 (four years ago) link

Just put another, handwritten sign that says "LOL OK Magritte."

Pete Swine Cave (Eliza D.), Tuesday, 31 December 2019 11:06 (four years ago) link

Just checking, everyone's hearing that in John Lydon's voice?

lol yes

nine months pass...

I have a roommate, and we talked about getting a little whiteboard for notes and stuff. I mentioned this thread and we read it and roffled hard. ILX is a treasure trove

rip van wanko, Monday, 5 October 2020 06:15 (three years ago) link

one year passes...

pretty aggressive, not so much passive
