Alice in York, U.K. spotted this little work of art in the kitchen she shares with — yikes — fourteen other people.
Now, you wizened old troublemakers might skim past this as a throwaway…but thanks to this month’s Passive-Aggressive Notes gallery show at London’s kk outlet, little gems like this are — at least for a few more weeks — getting the treatment they deserve!
So if you’re in london this month, check it out! or, you know, don’t. Whatever.

I love the fact that people feel the need to state the obvious with “THIS IS A PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE NOTE!!!” (Why didn’t they just add “grrr!”)
Oh, Capt’n Obvious! I salute thee! *do do doot do do!*
(That includes you, Kerry. Don’t think I didn’t notice that that yellow one is in your writing, outside your show.)

Who precisely are you calling old and wizened, kerry?
Congratulations, and I hope you have a great show!

I disagree with the last note. What is a PAN without a bitter lemon? “Thanks for eating all my special brownies, Julie. Hope you trip and die!” See? bitter people leave better notes.

Did that PA sandwich board sign just call everyone a twat or is that some English vernacular? Twat never sounded so proper.
I say twats, let’s go have a spot of tea and then tit about the PA gallery at KK Outlet.

Do the TWATS come (hahahaha) with every purchase? I’d buy a lot more art if that was the case.

Do you think the person stealing the bags was named STOP IT? That’s pretty PA naming by the parents…

When there’s little or no punctuation, I like to add my own.
Don’t think? I haven’t noticed. Stack Overflow Protection, Information Technology! These bags aren’t yours!
The sarcastic notewriter is upset that IT is using his bags to clean up the overflows, when they should be using protection? Can I join that IT group?

Kerry,
It is very passive aggressive of you to taunt those of us who live too far from London to attend your show. While we admire the brilliance of the PANness of the post, we are nonetheless pissed off.
Love,
WotV

Hey as long as you are in London, can you check to see if that bridge is really falling down?

Ummm, you share a kitchen with fourteen other people. Do you really expect your crap to stay unmolested?

That note is directed at all those who criticize “The View” and its all-female panel: “These hags aren’t yours!”
Unclear whether the sentiment is intended to be more of a “Hands off, they’re mine” warning or a “Ha-ha-ha, you only wish you had hags like mine” taunt.

…alice in york, u.k. spotted this little work of art in the kitchen of a mother with — yikes — three teenaged sons:
Don’t think I haven’t noticed. STOP IT or you’ll go blind. You know what Father Henry told you. These bags aren’t yours!
(a substitute for tissues? socks? whatever was “handy”? )

Are “beer” and “TWATS” radiating light or just sweating profusely????? What’s with the little lines around them?
