Joanna in Boston says this started with “have a blessed day,” and has continued to escalate from there.

Is it passive-aggressive to leave a note saying that you are not passive-aggressive?

Incidently, it isn’t a very blessed day for the tuna.

  Is it passive-aggressive? IS IT???
  
  …Oh, sorry, the answer to your question is: Yes. Yes, it is.
  
  (In fact, I suspect Mary probably meant her note as a joke, for exactly that reason. Well done, Mary. We Are Mildly Amused.)

  Oh, Mary. If you didn’t want people to think the original note was yours you should probably stop distributing chick tracts to your coworkers who don’t attend your weekly Bible study in the break room.

  The tuna offender’s picture(s). That tuna fish is wearing a hat and glasses, so he can’t see too well and is therefore easily offended by one of those suspects.

Oh for cod’s sake. I don’t have time to deal with this carp. I’m fin-ished, and you’re all a bunch of bass-tards.

…

Sorry. I guess I really can’t resist a good line.

  Something fishy is going on here. It’s a good thing I’m not shelling out a lot of clams to perch on this page. I don’t want to go overboard by casting a wide net, so I’ll shut my lobster trap now.

You have to wonder how bad the reek possibly could be in the post-lunch hour. Was it attracting stray cats?

Better the sink smell like tuna, than the person eating tuna at the desk next to you.

I would buy dolphin friendly tuna, but fair’s fair… I’ve never heard of a tuna friendly dolphin.

  Dolphin are friendly to tuna the same way that lions are friendly to gazelle.

#13 warns

Don’t eat gross smelling things in common areas, people. Don’t dump tuna in the sink, don’t microwave straight cauliflower or fish sticks (all things that have smelled up entire office floors in my history.)

If you MUST eat these things, and you don’t live in antarctica, you can probably eat/dispose of that where the rest of the building doesn’t have to smell about it.

  I didn’t get the cauliflower memo. Guess I’ll have to start eating human brains instead

  I didn’t realise cauliflower smells either, I’ve always thought it was one of the least smelly (or flavoured) vegeables.

  Uh, cauliflower is known for being stinky. Just Google “cauliflower smell” if you don’t believe me.
  
  I love the stuff, but it does stink when you cook it.

Truth be told, I didn’t dump any tuna in the sink. I was rinsing out my panties.

Since The Tuna Offenders’ are in Boston (right across the river from Cambridge (our fair city) ) they could very well be related to the trash offender who has been haunting my hallways.

I place my trash pails out in the hall nightly for emptying. Most days I arrive the next day to find my trash pails clean and empty – except for those odd days when persons unknown have dropped random pieces of potentially stinky food & food waste: empty yogurt containers, banana peels, apple cores, etc.
Seriously?
