Suzanne’s office in Chicago is filled with lots of so-called “creatives” — you know, the types who are too busy working on BIG IDEAS to deal with the banalities of, say, dirty dishes. Finally, someone decided it would take a real heavyweight to draw some attention to the problem.

I lived with two stupid people who would use two Foreman grills, then leave them stinking on the kitchen counter for weeks until someone else (me) gave up and cleaned them.
At which point they would then use them again.
I ended the issue by throwing both of the grills away.

So good. This should be in a “How to” for writing passive aggressive notes.

I want this note to succeed, but the truth is George’s tone in the note does not reflect the aged boxer with head trauma who went on tv to sell these 2-sided miracle machines to us. I will however steal the idea to draw a picture of myself on notes I leave for others. Not only is it hilarious but I think I will gain the advantage of psyching the addressees out by passively reminding them I am watching and I am judging. This one is good enough to be considered for the book.

I suggest that notewriter use my cleaning solution. After cooking on your nifty George Foreman grill, leave it open and walk away. The next morning, it will be clean. The cat will also be licking bbq sauce off his chin, but the grill is ready on be used again with no effort on my part.

I think this one’s awesome. Clever, well-phrased and illustrated. Effectively communicates the need to respect community property without singling out any one person or group.

I have finally found a use for the George Foreman grill that has been sitting in the cupboard for ten years. I am going to take it to work and see what happens. Fun!

That thing is a damned hazard!
Those aren’t allowed in my office. Anything other than a microwave and a typical bread toaster are considered safety hazards. It sucks.

If they’re not gonna clean it at home, they’re not gonna clean it at work. Typical of the same assholes that microwave fish at work and stink up the entire office. You’ve just given them another apparatus with which to annoy you.

Ha! I like this one.
Someone needs to rescue that poor grill. (Hug it, squeeze it, and call it…George…)
