Anyone who has lived with a Martyr Mom know a PA note when they see one. This is just a small one.

What I meant to add, but forgot: The fact that the note-writer has a valid point doesn’t mean it’s not passive-aggressive.

Seriously? You all don’t see what’s passive-aggressive about leaving a note for someone who is in the same house? Or the way the note is worded? (While I certainly don’t mind that you reek – I hardly noticed at all, those stuffy people at the winery might.) Pretty much can’t get more textbook than this. XD

I think it’s totally passive-aggressive, and totally hilarious! A couple of stinging comments about your (your wife’s?) perfume and smoking, strategically embedded in a flowery note surrounded by niceties!

…“she could have just asked on her face”

*that gives me an idea*

Hey TOS, I want to ask you something on your face.

as a general, across the board snob, i understand where you are coming from, but still think i am better than you on the basis of nothing but my very existence. i wouldn’t have told her at all so that her lowliness and stench would have elevated my superiority to an even higher zenith. of course, i would have shot her snooty looks throughout the event and denied knowing her. i don’t dip to such levels or associate with such commoners. that is where we differ, and therein lies my advantage as a human being.

as a wine and spirits snob, i can actually understand the parents. most tasting rooms would ask you to leave if you reeked of cigarette smoke or the like. ruins the palate of those around you (and you, personally). obviously the parents didn’t care to mention smoking to their daughter before hand; i can see how they’d bring it up here as it would affect both them and the other people in the tasting room. It’d look bad for all. Granted: they should have told her this in person.
