Um, Brandy? This isn’t Blatantly Aggressive Notes. You should have taken the time you used to send this in used it to pile Denny’s things in the front yard and set them on fire. Because… seriously. Goodbye, Denny.

Denny scares me. . .
Or should I say Dmac? Or Sir? He is management after all.
Is anyone else picturing that Julia Roberts movie where she faked drowning to escape her husband?

I agree, time to find someone who can handle room -temp water. Because if, God forbid, you should happen to dent the car, or iron a hole in his shirt, or burn his dinner, you will probably get beaten. Or worse.

Are you fucking serious?
First, you have to write household chores on a dry erase board like you did in 3rd grade? Can’t you figure out what has to be done? I’m sorry, I just don’t go for that “you do this chore, I’ll do that” cause it’s bullshit. People who live in a house together should pick up after themselves and do an equal share of housework, or more if it’s just the one person causing it. My motto is if you see something that needs to be done, don’t wait just do it.
Second, the hostility “fucking water” “Management” and then a smiley? WTF? I really hope Brandy reads all these, sees what an ass of a boyfriend she has, and dumps him. Then make sure you get the apartment, cause where will he get all his ice cold water from if he doesn’t have a fridge to put it in?
I’ll bet he’ll think twice before doing such a classic oppressive thing.
Get your own water, you ass tick.

Ass tick is from Johen Vasquez’s comic Johnny the Homicide Maniac. It will change your life. The man is genius.

I’m wondering if he didn’t realize what a complete prick he sounded like when he wrote that… OK, maybe I’m just hoping that he didn’t realize that.
In other news, I apparently still have a shred of hope left for humanity! I thought that was squeezed out of me like 12 years ago.

OK, you all seriously have to get a fucking clue. Not only are you clearly to far up your own asses to not see how OBVIOUSLY I was kidding with that note, but you conclude from A NOTE ON A FUCKING WHITEBOARD that I’m abusive - I mean really, for fuck sake… If you have nothing better to do than leave pissy, passive-aggressive comments on a passive-aggressive notes blog, just fucking do us all a favor and kill yourself, ok?
Oh, and Ceryniti - you still crap on about some pissy comic book you read when you were 14? Get a fucking life!

Wow. Ummm.
Angry? maybe a little?
But here’s the thing, Denny. I don’t think you’re abusive. I think you are an Ass Hat (That’s my favorite word, btw).
Because, fighting over stupid shit is seriously not a good boyfriend thing to do. Sets a bad precedent for your relationship, especially dropping F-bombs over water. I know it’s hot, and that can make people cranky, but you have an opportunity here! Be an awesome guy — Be Cool, and I’m sure Brandy will love you for it .
Hugs and Ice Cubes,
Michelle

I think this more like an aggressive/passive note. He starts out with a full head of steam, drops an f-bomb, realizes what a dick he sounds like and tries to recover with a cute smiley and “the management.”
And Denny, relax and go do “lawn.”

She probably forgets to put the water back in the fridge all the time, and Denny just had more than he could take. If he needs to throw in an f-bomb to get her to stop being such a flake about the water, understandable.

Brandy– get it together. You’re slacking off. Put on your high heels and your apron get to work. There’s dishes, laundry and cooking to do. And for fuck’s sake, Brandy– don’t forget to put Denny’s water in the fridge so he can enjoy an ice cold glass of water when he gets home after a hard day at the office. He likes his water that way, so make sure you do it! You’ve forgotten to fill up the pitcher and put it in the fridge before, so let me remind you, Brandy: there isn’t a quicker way to piss off your man than to overlook those creature comforts that he enjoys. Denny doesn’t ask for much, you know. Have some common courtesy for the man in your life, for God’s sake.
Denny, take a Xanax with your nice cold glass of water. You’ll feel better.

my first reaction was that Denny was just joking and that this is probably one of those little irritating things that repeatedly occurs between couples. for example, my husband leaves balled up socks in the living room, i leave tea bags in the cups. by the logic of most readers, when i peg my husband upside the head with his socks, i’m being abusive and that’s just absurd.
however, the chore list is hilarious.

I actually think I am on Team Go Denny - Cold Water rocks! I’m sorry, for some of us out there - we don’t like ice cubes in our water. I love ice, just not in my first glass of ice cold water in the morning when I wake. It’s my ritual and when my husband doesn’t put the water in the fridge, I get kinda bent outta shape myself… so GO DENNY!

I’m on Team Denny. There’s nothing worse than getting your mouth all set for a thrist-quenching swig of icy cold water only to open the fridge and find that there is none because someone didn’t refill the pitcher/put more bottles in to chill/whatever. That is precisely one of the many reasons why I live alone - at least I know that there will always be cold water in the fridge!
I took his note as a joke; surely Brandy wouldn’t have submitted it if she thought it was abusive?

Uh, guys? The posted comment here from “Denny” is just too over the top to be real. I just don’t believe it, and I can’t believe everyone else is taking it so freakin’ seriously!
As far as the white-board note, it’s exactly the kind of thing my husband would write after the 600th time I drank the last of the cold water and didn’t put any back in the fridge… maybe Brandy is just flaky?

I do have to also give Denny props - he is a rare PA note writer who actually knows how to spell and for the most part write a note that makes sense! (he did forget a “S” after “Other” - but assuming they live alone that kinda makes sense I suppose!)

The note had me raising my eyebrows, but then I realized that they both probably read this site, and Denny thought it would be funny to write her a note about the water in the style of what we read on this site. If that’s the case, it was pretty funny.

On further consideration, I think it makes a difference in our assessment of Denny — was this the first time Brandy didn’t refill he water jug, or the 50th or 100th time? And how hot does it get in New Haven, PA? In the summer in Texas, it gets so hot that you could understandably go postal over no cold water.

But, seriously, I don’t even believe you are the real cold-water-loving Denny who hearts Brandy, but instead just some imposter who has been haunting websites lately with the same vitriolic tone. See the Found website for more.

I love the pop-psychology worthiness of the comments. It’s sort of reminiscent of who will be “voted off” the message board.
Time for a sanity check. If they can’t replace the water themselves, rolls the t.p from the bottom and squeezes the toothpaste from the middle, it’s time to move along.
At least they have love in common. *snort*

Ceryniti, are you serious? Congratulations on always living with people with exactly the same standards of cleanliness as yourself. The vast majority of people who live with others are not so fortunate. Some people will “see things that need doing” far sooner than anyone else, and if they follow your motto, they’d be doing all the work.
