Sadly, no backstory for this one, except that it was found on a door in San Francisco — but I think this is one of those exchanges that does pretty much speak for itself.
Despite the obvious criticism richard opens himself up to, I think you have to give the guy props for having the guts to actually sign his response. In this situation, he’s being about as direct as he could possibly be, no?

It’s too bad there’s no back story, too, because I would really like to know whose door this is on: did Richard put it on his own door or did he creepily figure out who left him the note originally and tape his response to his/her door?
And by posting this note wondering about the story…. am I now a “dick”?
I love the hot pink tape, though. That is truly inspired!

Writer, Rejected
Well, it is true that dicks leave PA notes, but if Richard has a vicious dog barking in his apartment (so loud that the neighbors elsewhere are complaining and the quiet dogs are joining in), it might be intimidating to show up at the door and ask if the dog is just visiting. I mean, Richard would probably kick someone’s ass for that. So, it’s a tough situation. Is the PA note writer’s Kirk? If so, that would probably just automatically make him a dick.

WR, my personal take on it is the cameraperson did not get the whole original note in the shot and that goes on to say “the other quiet dogs kicking up a fuss” or some such thing. Although it would be funnier if the note just ended there when he ran out of paper.

“Loud” and “Crazy” does NOT always mean “vicious” The note writer (I am 99.999% sure it says Kick not Kirk) Is a PUSSY and a dipwad. You have a problem with my dog? Talk to me about it. Don’t leave anon little notes. OBVIOUSLY the note writer has some little doggie club that Richard and Dog have not been included in (otherwise how would note writer know or care about dog owning neighbors in the other building?)
TEAM RICHARD!

Richard’s last name is Jule?
between the tape and the name, i don’t think a penis drawing is necessary.
the first note is cut off so i’m wondering if it says “it will get the other quiet dogs kicked out” or “it will get the other quiet dogs kicking your dog’s ass”
glad i live in the boonies, my neighbs aren’t close enough to hear anything that goes on in my house.

I read the incomplete last line as “will get the other quiet dogs kicked out. ” Meaning that reaction to this very loud dog will result in rules that get all dogs kicked out.
I had a neighbor several doors down who kept asking me if that was my dog barking last night, despite the fact that my dog stays indoors and there were several houses with outside dogs in between us. Non-dog owners get very upset about loud barking. Not that I really can blame them…

Having lived beside a yipping dog for the better part of a year while my neighbor whored around until 4 am, leaving the dog barking behind my bedroom wall…
I am on team Dick. I left plenty of notes. However I did offer them suggestions on how to deal with the dog.
1. Get a bark/shock collar – I am against these but after being woken up every night for about 6 months you’ll do anything
2. Get rid of your dog – It’s obvious you don’t care about your dog if you’re ignoring its anxiety issues about being left home alone
3. Kill yourself – You’re mean to your dog, you’re a slut, and no man will ever love you.
And yes, I did verify that she was a slut. More drama coming from the other side of that wall than should be allowed…up to and including the time when her boyfriend pushed her out of a moving car and then left her bleeding by the side of the road.
How did I get on this subject?

I know how that goes (hence this being a touchy subject for me) we had a jerk neighbor call the cops on our “constantly barking dogs” the only problem was that one or another family member was home with our QUIET dogs for the entire time “their barking was excessive” … the OTHER neighbor’s new dog … DAMN was that thing noisy!

Hrm. The little note is covering it up, so I wonder if he wrote “Dick’s”, instead of “Dicks”?
Also, is the dog in question Richard’s? I like the smaller note implying that this dog may ruin it for all of the good dogs in the complex.

I think Richard was starting to write “Dick’s (dog) Leave no notes Les- you pussy”
However, the karmic fusing of “no” and “Les”, not to mention the lack of paper space and poor handwriting, allowed Richard to shorten his response which he posted on Les’ door with the offending note.
Richard Jule DOES NOT have a dog, obviously.

Sleeplessness from barking dogs leads to crimes of violence.
Therefore this fellow should simply go down, shoot the dog in the head, and pay the fine, pleading insanity due to sleep deprivation, something which by the way violates the Geneva Convention.
