Scott saw this note posted to the refrigerator of his friends’ house in D.C. and surreptitiously snapped a photo. “I didn’t want to pry by pulling out the whole note,” he says. “I’m pretty sure Alex was a roommate in the house at some point, but it’s probably been years.”
The magnet’s a nice touch, though, right?

“We’ve already told you you had to leave…”
So when aggressive-aggressive didn’t work, they went passive? Yeah, good plan.

I like how they included the “Dear” at the beginning of the letter, followed by his name and then “Fuck you.” They sort of cancel each other out. Ahahahaha.

I guess Alex must have left, eventually. So why’s the note still there?

Obviously, “Alex” is an alternate personality of one of the existing residents. This person can be identified as the one who is looking around for his own shit (because “Alex” left with it…)

What’s the rest??
Option 1:
…maybe you think you can sneak back in here while we are all at work and drink our expensive beer and use the A/C with the window open, but WE ARE ON TO YOU !!!
PS: Your Mother does not live/work here, so
don’t expect us to clean up after you.

“Dear” and “fuck you” in the same note are what make it PA. Love it!

If the note has been there for “years”, then obviously Alex, must be proud of it. So, HEY FRIEND-go back & shoot-us another snap with the rest of us. We don’t appreciate your teasing!!!
P.S. The food stains on it are a classy touch!

I wonder about that magnet. Was there nothing anyone could say to shock Alex? He obviously left, so I guess the PA note worked.

I love this note. The first two lines are all-time. “Dear Alex. Fuck you.” That’s great.

Priceless!
When I thought I was going to have a problem with my roommate not leaving I was just planning on using her phobia against her and getting a bird. I should have just written a “Dear Roomie” letter. Much more PA.

“…that was hilarious” read as: “Please do another one”
Option 2:
…maybe you think that one night of drunken revelry at our local pub, after which we mistakenly invited you over for a nightcap, meant that you were free to purchase for us CF lightbulbs and matching bowls , leave a nasty dishrag on a pile of unwashed dishes, and/or walk loudly and move items across the floor when we are tying to sleep.
It does not.
As for your “mad bombing” episodes, well, I’ve already told you above what to do with your shit.
PS: I was going to feel sorry for you, until I remembered what you were. …and you know what it is.

I simply MUST remember the “Dear _______. FUCK YOU.” lead in the next time I’m pissed and feel like writing a note.

The person didn’t want to pry, but posted a private note on the internet?
Whatever, it was funny. And it feels like my house at this point.
