the ripped-off tabs are what get me

March 18th, 2009 · 154 comments

veronica spotted this gloriously expressive exercise in futility stapled to a telephone pole near her home in san francisco. i totally forgive the double p in “apartment,” because dude, i know exactly how you feel.

also, the idea of someone ripping off one of those tabs and going “why yes, i will fuck myself!” is just really tickling me right now.

I always like the notes posted, but this is the first one in a while that actually made me snort. +10 for creativity on the tear-offs. Am totally going to use that.

  I use pillowcases! Granted, I tend to pull them over the heads of teenaged girls second after I taze them. I prefer a high thread count and find that high quality percale sheets don’t leave fibers behind.

  While the thief’s actions were clearly wrong-headed, there is no excuse for the victim’s use of name-calling (”jerk”) and profanity (”fuck you”) in the flyer.
  
  I’m guessing that the pillow case definitely would have been laundered and returned, had the victim not chosen to lash out in such an unnecessarily vicious and juvenile manner.
  
  Now, sadly, the odds of the pillow case being returned are 50-50, at best.
  
  What’s more, even if the thief has an intuitive empathy for the raw emotional turmoil felt by victims of theft, and decides to magnanimously overlook the hurtful comments and return the pillow case, if I were the victim, I certainly would NOT be expecting that the pillow case would be coming back to me freshly laundered.
  
  After my insolent outburst on the flyer, I’d feel embarrassed about exposing myself to the world as being nothing more than a foul-mouthed hot-head with no control over the basest of my puerile instincts.

  You are assuming that the only computers they have are laptops. Of course, if the thief carried them off in a pillowcase, the desktop computers wouldn’t fit. (Unless they were kingsize pillowcases, then it would depend on how many laptops they had in there first.)

  Not if they’re Pillowcases of Holding. Technically, they would be in an extradimensional space, a “pocket plane” as it were, not in the apartment.
  
  Of course, the PoH could then be placed into a Portable Hole, that’s always good for a laugh.

Yeah, because the person who burgled those laptops is going to see this and say, “Jeez, I didn’t realize people would be this upset.”

I bet he took one of those tabs as a reminder. Not of the theft…he’s got the laptops for that…no, he took one of those tabs so he can bask in the glow of your simmering, unrequited rage. Fuck you, my friend, fuck you indeed.

Um, the notewriter is instructing the thief to (a) keep the pillowcase, (b) fuck him-or-herself, and (c) come on the laptops? Grammarian, a ruling?

A few of these tabs would come in handy for young men and women who frequent those loud clubs. Instead of shouting at someone they are trying to pick up, they could just slip them one of these babies.
I’d suggest they add a question mark, or things could get ugly in a hurry!

Soooo… Would’ve it been okay for the thief to have left them one laptop and keep the others?

Another from ~~Frisco~~ San Francisco? I guess all of that tolerance results in an abundance of passive aggression.

  Once my mom told me to take some pepto bismal and I accidentally drank calamine lotion instead. I was confused.

  Only if you sit on the toilet in a certain Public Library unisex restroom. They offer all sorts of viral free editions there.

The note writer is watching the telephone pole with binoculars.

When someone takes a “FUCK YOU” they call the police with a description.

FOILED AGAIN THIEVES.

I’m guessing the thief is a bit of a nutter, who finds delight in random, meaningless things, such as laptops and telephone poles.

  What’s more, this theory is NOT just based on idle speculation. I’ve spent years in the lab, standing there for endless hours, performing test after test, whilst my own beloved testicles were slow-cooking themselves into a potentially explosive state, much akin to street-fair hum-bows.
  
  Sure, they’re still tasty, but “handle with care.”

Wait so the tab I took wasn’t for the phone number to register for TaeWonSuperKarate lessons?

Explanation for the missing ripped-off tabs: if I saw a perfectly wallet-sized “FUCK YOU” missive, I’d take a couple to stick under the windscreen wipers of that jerk who keeps parking me in. It’s all about spreading the hate around. Kind of like a pay-it-forward

I think there will be a new note soon, complaining that some FUCKING JERK stole all of the FUCK YOU tabs from the first sign. You can keep the pillowcase.

  I bet she ran off to France with Terry in order to start a new life leaving unused time on microwaves and confounding the customers of head shops with lots of arrows and post-its. ‘Cuz that’s way more exciting than just being busy or ill.

It sucks to have your laptop stolen – especially if you didn’t back stuff up – hopefully at least this note released some of the anger. It is hilarious. And yeah, who took the tear offs?
