the cap’n is saying, “ian: If I catch you eating this delicious cereal, I’ll kill you in your sleep. love, dan.”
(”my roommate ian kept eating all the cereal i bought before i had a chance to have even a single bowl,” dan explains.)

I love it! And it’s not really all that passive is it? It’s just straight up aggressive. Nice.

Don’t mess with anyone’s Cap’n Crunch with Crunchberries, dammit! Excellent use of “Call-Out” interaction!

My favorite part is the “Love, Dan”… way to show him that you still care but will not tolerate the cereal-swiping LOL

LOL Oh man. I love the evilness. Too great. If I were Ian I’d be shaking in my jammies.
Do you think this would work for my Golden Grahams???

Such a lovely advert for captain crunch’s. Maybe they should use that in a commercial of how their cereal is sooo addictively good that it turns people into killers just to protect their precious cereal stash.

Love it. Lucky for me my roomie is nice and lets me eat her cereal because I ALWAYS do it.

Crunch berries are sacred… and the perfect ratio per spoon full is three biscuits per berry. And it still kind of makes the roof of my mouth raw. To think of someone STEALING it.
This is why I live alone.

I love this sh*t! Thank you, I feel that I can deal
with my passive/aggressive client a lot easier now. Although she’ll probably wonder why I’m
grinnin’ at her.

I know these guys! It’s just like seeing my ex on “hot girls with douchebags …” This proliferation of call-out websites keeps featuring my friends. It’s like an internet “site-ing.” Will post the notes my roommates have left recently …
“Please refill the brita after drinking it, so that there is more than 1/2 cup in the bottom. p.s. Serious funk in the coffee machine.”

Sounds like it’s your own fault for not eating your cereal fast enough. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.
