How many times have you been so angry at someone but you can’t let it out at the moment? Whether it is an argument at work or some tension with a roommate, these conflicts don’t always lead to direct confrontation. Instead, we vent our anger passively which is frustrating for everyone involved. Want to make sure someone knows they messed up? Then check out the list below. If you’re looking for a little inspiration, you’re at the right place – these notes are both diabolically genius and absolutely hysterical.
1. Just A Not-So-Friendly Reminder
Okay, so this is one of the funniest notes a parent has ever left for his wife and children. When this dad had had enough of his family leaving their dishes in the sink, he decided to make a final stand that would end his suffering.
He left this note for the family to see and hopefully they got the message. Poor Brian, it must really suck when your family confuses you for an appliance! It’s insane how many of these notes are about washing dishes.
2. Thank You For Flushing
Here is another fine example of funny wordplay. This clumsy note wasn’t very well written and pretty soon people had taken notice. With different meanings of the word check, it’s no wonder people started placing check marks on the sign.
However, it is a little troubling that people would need to have instructions on how a toilet works. Seems proper toilet etiquette isn’t what it used to be!
3. Never A Dull Moment With Dave
There is never a dull moment when it comes to communal fridges. When an employee named Dave noticed his ice teas were disappearing from the office fridge he marked each bottle with his name. When that didn’t work he decided to be more obvious about it.
When he left a snarky note on his drinks he never expected a reply like this. Turns out another Dave in the office had been drinking all his tea. Is it still stealing if your name is on it?
4. A Serial Offender
It seems this office had a bad case of food theft in their kitchen. As more and more people left detailed complaints on the fridge about their stolen food, one coworker decided to get in on the act and join in on all the fun.
While we are not quite sure this last note was only a joke, it would be pretty hilarious if it was actually a note left by the food thief. It seems like there is never a dull moment in this office!
5. Sarcasm Much?
When it comes to passive-aggressive notes, nothing is better than dry, harsh sarcasm. However, there is one simple rule to follow. If you are going to be mean you need to make sure that the person receiving the note doesn’t know who you are.
When this neighbor stepped out in the morning and found this post-it on his driver’s side window, it wasn’t too hard to figure out who had left it. After all, he only shared the driveway with one other person. Looks like the relationship between these neighbors is about to get chilly!
6. There’s No Place Like Home
Passive-aggressive notes don’t just come in an anonymous form, take this couple for example. When his wife had had enough of finding empty toilet rolls all over the bathroom, she decided to leave her husband a little reminder. His amusing response would be classic.
Nothing could have prepared his poor wife for what he had planned in response to her note. We must admit that what he did was pretty funny. But unfortunately for him, his wife didn’t see it that way. Hopefully, this husband enjoys sleeping on the couch!
7. Let’s Not Risk It
When people leave signs like this up in the bathroom for all to see, it’s only a matter of time before someone leaves a cynical reply. After all, with a crazy claim like this how can you not leave a funny reply?
This old sign was just begging to be messed with and the results are pretty funny. What makes this second note underneath even funnier is the fact that it was written on toilet paper. Oh, the irony of it all.
8. Stuck In The Friend Zone
When this person saw this ambiguous note he was ready to have some fun with it. Playing on the different meanings of the word date, he decided to make a classic Dad joke and leave it next to the original note on the wall.
When others saw the cheeky reply they just couldn’t help but giggle at the bad joke. It’s dad jokes like this that are so cheesy they are actually good. We can’t help but wonder why someone would need to put the date on a can when they already have them on the label.
9. No Shame In His Cake Game
Office birthday parties are great. There is always a tasty cake to enjoy and you also get a few minutes to socialize in the break room. However, this trendsetter wanted to do things differently. Instead of taking a piece of cake like everyone else, he put his own spin in it.
When he found the leftover cake on the counter he decided to take a piece from the middle. Just in case anyone complained about it, he left this cheeky note to make his point clear. Let’s hope no one recognizes his handwriting!
10. Holy Cow!
When these four young bachelors decided to move into a house together, they figured it would be smooth sailing. After all, they had all been best friends since Middle School. However, it didn’t take long for their different personalities to clash.
For instance, when Chad bought a massive jug of milk that took up too much fridge space, his roommates quickly got annoyed and left him a challenge. So, the next day, Chad did exactly what they suggested. They haven’t complained since.
