mike in paris brings us this petit message passif-agressif:
<<paris – 28 may 2007
urgent!
one must do one’s work during the daytime and NOT at night, or else it’s the police that will be working!
for the last time!>>

P*tain, mais le gars il fait ce qu’il veut.
Si il veut bosser la nuit, c’est son droit.
Vraiment un mauvais coucheur son voisin.
Du vrai porte nawak’ !

Not every passive-aggressive note is made by English speaking people? I wasn’t aware of that,
Thanks for the wonderful blog. I’ve got friends who like to communicate entirely through these passive-aggressive notes, so these give me a guffaw every time I read them.

The funny thing is the person wrote “Paris” why? I assume this persons noisy neighbors also live in Paris….

Je m’amuse a cause de l’usage de points d’exclamation avec des p’tits cercles.
(The exclamation points with little circles crack me up. )
The juxtaposition of the happy little dots and the bitchiness of the note does it for me.

i love it! total french death threat.
or uh, maybe they’re just saying they’ll call the cops.
but i like the death threat idea more.

That note is weird. Why would anyone be bothered by someone working at night? Unless the job in question is, I don’t know, smith or drummer.

Or a pro perhaps? But why would working in the day make it ok?
