Nathan in Norman, Oklahoma doesn’t know the writers of either of these notes, but when he saw this exchange on a fellow student’s drafting board in his architecture studio class, he knew it needed to be documented.

I bet her board feels violated.

Now every time you’re using your board, it will be thinking of ME.

“When you’re gone, I quietly lay her down, slip that pesky little note off, and then I use her, use her good. . . and she likes it.”

Always nice to know you go to school with a sociopath.

So, I met this board down at the speak-easel…
She was all smudged and blurred around the edges, looking like someone had applied charcoal as if it was mascarra…
She’d seen better days and she kept slurring, begging me to help her turn a new leaf, to turn the page, know what I’m saying?
But I was no different to any of the other mugs. I used that grubby board, and then I used her again, and then I came back for more. I walked away feeling as if I’d been tainted by the same brush as any other lowlife looking for a cheap board to doodle in. . . and rightly so. Man is wicked and man is weak and well, you know the score, board. Chalk it up to experience, I scored with a board. That’s the
nibnub of the matter. Wipe the dust off your hands, and move on, move on, you’ve gotta just keep moving on.Oct 11, 2009 at 10:32 pm rating: 43

She totally contradicted the stern authority of that PLZ! by adding the curlicue laden signature.
Chick’s giving mixed signals– she WANTED him to use it.

Just please, God, don’t ever tell me what he does with her T-square during those nights of passion!!

Does his use of the board mean that he is certifiable?
NO…He’s now board certified.

The Adventures of Chairman and The Board would make a great graphic novel serial.
I wonder when the first draft is due for release?

I bet after reading the response Katrina stormed out of there like a hurricane, her face a flood of tears.

At first I thought the original sign said “Do not use my beard plz”. That I think I could identify with, even if I’m not 100% sure what “use” it was referring to.

All in all, both of these notes deserve points for being so well designed.
They are perfect blueprints for future passive-aggressiveness.

Well, Katrina did say PLZ. I mean, what kind of heartless freak is this dude for not being won over by Katrina’s masterful command of the English language?

(You can totally hear her leaving out the apostrophe and substituting AW for the O when she says it….)

Holy flying fuck…just think what a person who expresses herself with drunken 3-D lettering and script encrusted with curlicues–like lesions on a leper–will inflict on the public as an architect…

At first I thought the note was saying not to use the “word” “PLZ.”
Oh well.

Somethings to ponder:
- She must have gotten a ‘D’ on Geometry &
Perspective 101.
- What’s with the heart on the exclamation point?

I use Katrina’s board. And I’ve used her (she’s like a person to me) for many, many years now. She always tells me horrible stories about how Katrina always looks down on her and nerver, ever satisfies her completely (K always finishes first). We have plans to run away together, but we have to wait ’till I finish school. And I tell you, the wait has been too long…

The ‘creepy guy’ in question is actually Jim the custodian.
I forgot my portfolio one afternoon and had to go back to the studio that night to get it.
I heard the sound of Barry Manilow’s Copacabana as I approached the door. I opened it just crack, and there was Jim in the moonlight, standing over the board, naked from the waist down.
His pants and skivvies were laid out flat over the board’s surface, and Jim was running a hot iron across the fabric – over and over.
Hearing my gasp, Jim turned and our eyes locked. It seemed like minutes passed, the samba rhythms whirling in my head. Then Jim spoke, pleadingly, “I just like a nice crease.”
I was disgusted and enraged. “You have to tell her Jim, or I will.” I turned and ran from the room, tears streaming down my cheeks. The next day I transferred out of the architecture program. I never saw Jim or Katrina again.
I’m glad he told her. She needed to know.

Archie students in OK must be more laid back than the ones at my old school. At Illinois, we would have decapitated that guy with a t-square and send his head to the engineering quad.
Don’t fuck with people who don’t sleep.

Sorry for getting bored while writing my “Do not use, please” note. I like to doodle, so what?
