I felt compelled to make things bigger, underlined and red when signage at my old job wasn't getting the message across. I'm aware you can't really read the first sign but it essentially said "don't close this door, the airconditioners that keep our business alive need the door to be open or they will stop working."

the one who made this note is having fun typing the words. “this makes it difficult when it comes to ordering coffee” is aligne[d] to the left while the rest are centere[d].

Hee… love how the person who put up the sign translated ‘refrain’. Alas, I don’t think it was meant to be sarcastic; more like the sign-writer was proud that he/she came up with such a …complicated… word that nobody else would understand.

Anyway, the formatting is whacky! And again, not intentionally so, I think.

It seems like there should be some horror music in the background.

“Once again, please refrain (STOP) from opening coffee boxes that are in….. dun dun duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnn… *scary evil voice* THE CABINET.”

People need to learn how to use proper grammar, as well. Sheesh.

Those coffee pod things are expensive. Must be a nice place to work. The only thing that would have made this better were if there were little locks placed on all of the coffee boxes in the cabinet, much like the one placed on the microwave in the above submission!

I thought someone had typed out something that was originally in morse code, but then I realized that this guy just wanted to ensure that the victims of his passive aggressive wrath understood what he was trying to say.

I mean, “refrain” is such a big kid word. It might confuse the ickle office employees.

Team President of the Company.

Dude makes a few mill a year, cooks the books, and gets to ride around in a private jet; s/he should get coffee from a pod whenever s/he wants it, and s/he should pressure the office-coffee-stocker into hanging nervous-breakdown-like signs all over the office.

Team coffee stocker. People use the box, you think you have a whole case left and then…BOOM…you’re out…and the president of the company wants his coffee.

I’m with Trev, this is definitely some coded anti-Bush missive. (Unless the author is just pathologically afraid of dark, confusing places smelling of vanilla and french roast and this is a subconscious outcry?)
