Both the Haarlems are identical in writing. The ‘y’ is disguised in most of the words but the ‘you’ in both notes is identical.

And if you don’t think they are the same, then I wish had been the attendance secretary at my high school.

Yeah, I think it suffers from Photoshop effect not in the sense that it’s an altered/faked image, just that it’s showing the damage of far too many image-processing filters. I have a feeling there was quite a bit of “correction” between the original photo and what was submitted. Those pixel halos around the notes’ text and the magnets scream “I was oversharpened! Badly!”

Recently I heard a story about a guy who mailed his laundry home when he filled a box of it, and his grandma would wash, iron, fold it and mail it back.

My mom showed me how to use the washer when I turned 12.

I weep for humanity.

Or – Haarlem being a rather odd/foreign/Dutch name – a non-native speaker *gasp* But no, that wouldn’t be possible of course. Everybody speaks English everywhere.

This photo is so wonky. Part sharp, part clear. Kinda looks fake but I can’t imagine why someone would put forth the effort to photoshop a passive aggressive note so I’m gonna go with wonky camera.

Don’t forget Not Me’s little sister, Ida Know.

I believe you CupKat; I had a similar room-mate. Parents who raise those kinds of kids don’t have my sympathy either. If they can’t clean up their own shit and make themselves a marginally healthy meal by the time they’re in college, that’s a paddlin’.

Ash, Not Me must sure get around. That is who keeps doing these things at my house. Who left the dishes out? Not Me. Who can’t refill the ice cube trays? Not Me. Who put the toilet paper on the holder backwards? Not Me. Who left this note written in Comic Sans? Not Me.

Oh if I could only get my hands around Not Me’s throat…

I had a roommate in college who would do that. No joke. There were four of us living there, and when it was her turn that month to clean she’d have her mother over and “ask for help” with her chores (read: watch TV while her mother scrubbed the shower). At first I felt bad for her, but hey, you raised her, lady.

That’s along the lines of the ex-roommate who swore she was not the one emptying the ice cube trays & putting them back in the freezer, even after I watched her do it.

And then she’d complain that we never had ice cubes.

It’s the same handwriting: ‘Haarlem’, ‘discuss’.
It’s ALL a conspiracy.

The true sign of a slob is a slob who has their mother trained to come over occasionally and clean up their room and do the dishes for them. That’s true slob dedication!

TKD, that’s how my roommates seem to think, except that none of them will ever own up to doing it. There’s a growing pile of dishes by the sink that’s been there for weeks, but if you ask who left them there the answer is always “Not me!” So who was it then? A ghost? Or is someone repeatedly breaking in just to use our dishes and leave them by the sink?
