After Adam’s car got broken into while parked in his own driveway, he decided to install a motion-activated security light. Several months later, he received this note in the mail — stamped and all — from one of his (kinda totally creepy) Connecticut neighbors. Adam, perhaps it’s time to take the home security system up a notch?

That note is completely creepy. Jeeze.
Though I will say that it is really fucking annoying to live across from someone who always has a porch light/security light on. The neighbors across the street where I grew up NEVER turned off their porch light; as a result it was always shining directly into my bedroom. I had to beg my parents to buy blackout blinds for my room.
So…Team No One, I guess.

Neighbor, if you don’t want the light on all night, get out of the damn driveway.
Love,
Adam

Well, I’m old and set in my ways. I always say that a dumb passive aggressive note only really counts when it is hand written, in fountain or cartridge pen and placed in an envelope -with a stamp.

Maybe he just lives next door to Run DMC…
It’s stupid to leave (the lights), to leave the lights (on all night), it’s stupid, s-s-s-s-stupid, stupid, stupid! Huh!

I laughed out loud at that note for an inappropriate amount of time.
But yes, super creepy.

Adam should show this note to his mail carrier to see if he/she recognizes the writing. He can narrow it down to people who are wihin sight of his driveway.

Nahhh
The only way to respond to this level of insanity is with: “What light?”

What’s with that bizarre code at the end?
“8.9, 9.9, 9.’9, 5’8 stupid.” I can’t even use these for the lottery!

I get the distinct impression that the neighbor doesn’t think having lights on all night is a good idea.
I just wish they’d come right out and say how they really feel about it.

Wow, talk about some bad handwriting. If you’re going to go to the trouble of sending someone a note, even a passive-aggressive one, at least make it legible, jeez.

I thought the “numbers” might be times…like 4-9, 5-9, 9-9. Maybe signifying time spans they saw the light on..But, yeah, I can see S’s now that you guys mentioned it.
Takes A LOT less effort to hang a blanket in the offensive window (if you’re too cheap to buy blackout blinds)…we had a neighbor with a super-sensitive motion light when I was a kid, and that’s what my parents did.

Lights on all night is not as stupid as lights on all day.
Just sayin’.

100/00 -> sure that note was written by the oldest resident in the neighborhood. If my grandfather wasn’t long dead, I’d swear he wrote it…

There is only one sane way to respond.
Reprogram a dancing snowman to blare “I wear my sunglasses at night, s-s-s-s-so I can…”
The light obviously needs a buddy system in play. For its own safety.
And, of course, you email that note to everyone you have ever known with a little “In case of my s-s-s-sudden demise or disappearance, please start here.

Well, that’s one way to get your point across. It would have been funnier if they would have used multiple adjectives to describe “stupid”

come on!
The note, while it doesn’t really make sense, DOES get it’s point across. Turn off your damn light jackass! If it was me, I’d shoot it out with a BB gun or go up and adjust the sensitivity myself.
Shame on the idiot who leaves his light on all night.

This is one of the best PANs in a while. I read it yesterday and came back to see it today.

You all are being too harsh on the note writer. Sleep deprivation does terrible things.

Is that a 100 % sign in between the stupid? It’s also funnier mailed and in horrible print.
