Team Mom. If you’re gonna smoke in Mom’s house, at least be considerate enough to use the ash tray!!

My passive-aggressive father used to drop ashes on the floor and burn holes in the couch and blankets when he was angry. My parents are no longer married. These teenagers would be well advised to heed mom’s warnings.

Jesus Christ, four smokers in one house? I’d die in that house. Forget complaining about ash, I’d try to get them to quit.

Epic. Mom. Fail.
She raised 4 daughters who:
a) still live at home when they are old enough to smoke
b) SMOKE
c) are not considerate enough to NOT smoke in the house?
Boundaries, people. Boundaries! Also, GROSS.

I’ve been called “Ash-Hole” (and other similar names that play on the word) since I was in Junior High and I’ve never smoked anything in my life!

And these “smokers” smoke in their own houses? Don’t tell me they smoke in their cars too?!

I can’t believe all of this blatant discrimination. Smoking is a personal choice, and it may be a vice but everybody has them. I don’t go to McDonald’s and call everybody fat disgusting gluttons. So please stop calling us down like we’re pieces of Sh*t and maybe focus on your own imperfections

Welcome to it, friend. It’s the Obama nation. Unless you’re sinning in the way the State allows/bails you out for, you’re not allowed. And by the way, you’re Evil.
The “dangers” of secondhand smoking haven’t yet been scientifically proven, and the “weight” of smokers on the healthcare system isn’t nearly as heavy as the drinkers. People like to say smokers are inconsiderate, (because they smell? Really?) but at least they don’t freaking drive and kill people! I think many here are an “ash-hole”, of the ignorant and judgmental kind.

A poll..
What is more annoying?
1. people who smoke in their own house
2. people who use the words “epic fail” to describe EVERY tiny little thing that falls short of their lofty ideals?

Unless Mom has a peg board in the house, it looks from the photo as if that sign is hanging in the garage.

Four smoking daughters in the house? Either some teens are smoking, or mom needs to cut the cord already and kick a few kids out to live independently.

My granny died from cancer, she lost both breast and it still spread. But she never smoked or chewed. Go figure

I have to say it, the comments on PAN are not nearly as funny as the comments on YSAC. Sorry, but a lot of the commentators here seem really whiny. Where’s the snark?? PAN used to be so deliciously snarky!
Lighten up people, we are supposed to be making fun of passive-aggression in the NOTES posted, not proving how passive-aggressive WE ourselves can be in our commenting. Sheesh.
p.s. Not minimizing cancers of any kind, as I have lost loved ones to cancer. But, really we’re supposed to be concentrating on how silly, childish, and non-intimidating, yet bizarrely creepy mom’s note is.

Are you for real, TBOL? I doubt the very existence of anybody who prefers YouSuckAtCraigsList to our adorable PAN. YSAC is a juvenile site focusing on spelling errors, emoticons, *actions in asterisks*, and the at-least-once-per-post obligatory comment, “Awesome!”. If that’s your idea of funny, well- head on back to YSAC and live the dream.
Dear God- PAN wins the competition on song parodies alone. Have you familiarized yourself with Anthony’s Song (Movin’ Out) yet? …then stick around to witness my favorite: Take Her Honey and Run.
As for memes- it should be clear to any decent commenter that a superior meme such as The Unitard is head and shoulders above drivel such as “Not A Lion”. Seriously- Not A Lion??? The whole thing because somebody mistakenly called a tiger a lion? Again, if that’s your idea of funny, you know what to do.
I am also quite confident that PAN could easily triumph over YSAC in a game of Ultimate Frisbee- if you guys are brave enough to even try (I didn’t think so).

Hey site admin dude –
Can we have a “flag” button or a way to report spam comments? It would be one thing if this monkey person would pimp his site once and leave but evidently he’s decided to stick around and flame-bait the readership of this site.
I’m quite sure that if we wanted to go read a site about Craigslist ads, we would be able to find it.

Oookay, looks like this got out of hand. I apologize for starting it. I actually really do like PAN, and I’ve read many of the past entries without commenting. I have also commented on a few of the funnier ones. The tea shop in England complaining about dogs, for example.
I used to laugh out loud at the well-timed comedy in the notes. But, I had noticed as of late, that the comments had gotten more serious, less funny and I’m sorry, but a bit boring.
I was trying to pump some life back into the comments and inspire you with a little friendly competition, but I guess it didn’t work. I’ll leave you alone now.
I’ll probably still read the notes from time to time, but not the comments. I don’t have much time in the day, and what I read on a comedy website needs to be funny and entertaining, otherwise it’s not worth it. Take care. =)

Given all the different log in names, I don’t know who actually “started” it.
If you find the tone of the comments “too boring” then maybe you should have said so and left it at that.
Sorry, but I don’t think flame-baiting is cool or to have passive-aggressive comments on a site about amusing passive aggressive notes.

Okay, I’m a few days late but just want to add one thing to all that are crying about how smoking increases healthcare costs to everyone: so does your diseased liver caused by all the booze you have chosen as a vice to consume all these years. But, I’m not gonna cry about that though, because life’s hard enough so let people have their damn vices and STFU already…unless you are completely vice-free…and unless you’re the Dalai Lama, I’m gonna assume you’re not
