I posted this on the lookit these fucking cats thread, something about a lost cat that appeared on my neighborhood's google message group.
miss hView profileHe wandered from 3300 ridge road. He is an inside outside cat that Ipicked up as a stray from the VA. His name is Milo. I work at saidVa all weekend. If you have a family for him though, I have noproblem with him having a good home. I took him off the hill as atiny kitten because we have huge foxes up there and he would have beeneaten.
miss hView profileThank you for taking care of milo
miss hView profileDid the neighbor come and get him, or did you take him to the shelter?
Will C.View profileWe've decided to keep him ourselves.He's going to be an indoor cat now.Peace,Will
miss hView profileok, can you do me a favor and post pictures of him periodically. Mydaughter has cried for days now about him.Peace out

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
