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.

hmmm Does the their really need to be instructed to keep the pillowcase? I’m pretty sure s/he was planning on keeping it all.

I’d take the tabs just to hand them out on the street. Then again, I’m a total cow.

This isn’t fair. Nobody takes my tabs when I’m trying to sell something, but they’ll take Fuck you tabs!

Let’s see… FUCKYOU = 382-5968
Yes, hello, I’m calling to return the stolen laptop?

Thanks!
Love it!
I love to fuck myself, so I’d probably take a tab.

Wait ’til they notice the hole in their diaphragms. We could be waiting a few more months for that sign, though.

Stupid question maybe but, how’d he get them cool dots around the top “FUCK YOU”?
It reminds me of broadway lights!

Jesus Christ, how many fucking laptops do they have?
Don’t worry honey, you will be able to buy them back in about a month off the back of a truck…

I wonder if they had to go to Kinkos to make the signs since, you know, they have no laptops anymore.

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.

Methinks they took a tab for each laptop stolen.
Then taped one to the lid of each.
As a reminder.

No amount of laptops would save this person from their own atrocious spelling.

Maybe the poster didn’t own any computers and the robbers chopped off the top of their thighs…I’d be super-caps-lock pissed too!

God, I wish I had thought of that when the douche who stole my old laptop (and 3 others in my landlord’s 2 buildings) ran away with mine. Joke was on him though…it was a Dell.

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

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.

Wait so the tab I took wasn’t for the phone number to register for TaeWonSuperKarate lessons?
Well, FUCK YOU.

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.

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?
