Paul in New York City has no idea what inspired this peculiar sign in his building’s laundry room…
If only he had attended the building meeting, where the offending neighbor offered his response…
related: That’s actually a totally reasonable response.

Sounds like someone has a feather pillow. The feathers like to work themselves out and end up in your sheets and pillow cases, and in the washer / dryer when you do laundry.
I usually try to pick most of them out and stuff them back in the pillow, but you are bound to miss a few.
Feather pillows are nice, but sometimes you get feathers stuck in your beard….

Please shake your tail feathers in private.
Preferably with the blinds drawn.
If any tail feathers should somehow fall off, please make sure to throw them in the trash can. Our plumbing can’t handle such fluffy loads. (Neither can our washers and dryers.)
I don’t care who you is, you better listen or I’ll send the scary black lady with a knife after you.
Thx Sandra

This is why Foghorn J., I say, Foghorn J. Leghorn keeps his feathers numbered.

No surprise getting “the finger” from that particular Sesame Street character.
After all, he’s just living up to his name!

The first note is a great commentary on the current state of public education.
Early on, the children really pay attention (by and large, the writer’s letters stay on the lines).
Then later, as we get into actual written communication skills, there is an obvious lack of interest on the part of the students in completing the work.

Future news report:
Sesame Street was canceled just six months ago, but Big Bird has moved on with his life and found Christ.
Our reporters found him leaving church with his new friends after service recently.
Asked about the example he was setting for children about seat-belt use, Bird’s response was a graphic “Fuck’em, the little bastards…I’m saved!”

I had a pet snake when I was in college. The level of humidity in Scooter’s cage wasn’t quite right, so sometimes he shed his skin in peices instead of one big shed. When that happened, I would take him to the dorm bathroom and give him a bath. (FWIW, Scooter liked this as long as it was a warm bath and not too deep). When I toweled him dry, all the dead skin would fall off and he’d be a happy snake again. One time I didn’t clean up all his leftover scales and nearly gave the cleaning lady a heart attack when she recognized what was in the sink.
I’d like to think one tenant needed to bathe his bird in the laundry tub and caused a similar reaction.

Apparently, one cat in the building is more fastidious than the other and he intends to address the issue in the alley if the other cat continues to leave his kills laying around.

I’m on the side of the note-writer for this one. Anyone who has shared a washing machine or dryer knows the joy of finding ‘surprises’ left behind by previous users. Just…clean up your damn feathers.

Walker, "Tex" (a stranger)
We have a cat who brings up feathers at the next meeting quite often. We would long for shoes on our carpet (not caring who you is, btw) to be the only problem.
Now that I think about it, that little b*stard is totally passive-aggressive. I’m gonna has to snap out on his as.

I’m guessing non-native English speaker who meant…dryer lint, maybe? Then again it’s possible my brain goes there because people who don’t clean their own dryer lint/pube hairs out of communal dryers are like my major pet peeve in life.

I did clean all my feathers. I just have a skin condition that makes my feathers look all funky and weird. Thanks for bringing it up, jackass.

Uh, more than likely what has happened is someone washed a down comforter or pillow, and the feathers leaked.
This happens a lot in communal laundry rooms.
