The washing machine one isn’t passive-aggressive, and frankly I agree with the note writer and their actions. Stopping their laundry was a douchey move to start with and made the ‘victim’ fully worthy of their fate.
The vegan, whatever you may think of them, has an excellent point. If she truly believes ‘meat is murder’ then she should be trying to outlaw it and use force to prevent its consumption, as one would try to stop any murder. My question is: what exactly is she going to do to ‘disallow’ meat being in the house? Throw it away (and necessitate buying more meat)?

I have to agree with the vote for the POOPIES note, for the same reasons stated above. The corny factor goes a long way in upping the PA factor. The neatness, hearts and the content of the second paragraph show that it was also pre-meditated and not written in a rage, adding extra PA points.

I also loved “a good month to be a bitch,” and the toy car. This illustrates one of the many reasons I choose not to have a car.

Extra credit goes to apartment 301 for identifying themselves.

My vote is for the frozen clothes in a snowbank message. The act of dumping their clothes outside is aggressive, but the note-leaving is passive, so I’m a huge fan. Best of both worlds!

I like Gov. Brown’s the best. It was the most official and, therefore, the most hysterical!

Agreed. It was clear, concise, and to-the-point. Anything more elaborate would be a bit derogatory.

LMAO! It’s like you’re a “passive aggressive connoisseur”. Brilliant!

I love the Jerry Brown one, also a big fan of the drunk mum and the IT Help Desk Wheel (I want one of those)

My favorite is still the Amazon bandit, but I think it would be funny if Jerry Brown wins because of a passive-aggressive response to a passive-aggressive vote for his passive-aggressive snarcasm.

Before I read unAmerican Annie’s comment, I didn’t have Governor Brown’s letter as my first choice, but I do now!

Anyone who can piss off a teabagger that much should be given a prize!

I’d vote for the earplugs one as the most douchie. Kids these days…

Is it passive aggressive to attempt to hijack a PAN thread with political b.s.? Yes, I think it is.

Well done, idiot!

“Next time I’ll burn the mail”.

Self-righteous, offensive.. it’s also a hideously over-the-top reaction with a lovely hint of genuine menace that is rarely found in a good passive aggressive note.

Bravo.

1. “When you’re all alone and civilization has crumbled…” because it takes the butterfly effect to new heights of lunacy!

2. Gov. Brown’s masterpiece of PA Note because it’s so well worded and on official letterhead. He stands behind his PAN’s!!

3. Toilet Paper one because it’s clever and has the added mystery of why anyone would order TP through Amazon!!!

Governor Moonbeam’s memo made me laugh.

1. Government does not create private sector jobs.
2. Clean/Green jobs are a myth, see Solyndra, et al.
3. No Democrat has ever supported cutting taxes to benefit the private sector. I don’t know what Gov. Moonbeam is referring to, but Calif has very high taxes and they want to increase them more. They think higher taxes will mean more income, but it just forces businesses out of the state.

Then again, Jerry Brown ran the state into the ground in the 1970′s and the voters are giving him a second chance to do it again. Yay!

I thought the Amazon toilet paper note was awesome, and I feel sure I’d like the note writer. He/she has a right to be pissed off, no direct way of confronting the thief, and he found a funny way to vent. Two thumbs up!
