The time-tested “sausage, egg and cheese” diet

March 10th, 2010 · 139 Comments

Angie in Columbus, Ohio says this is the second (hilariously) furious fridge note to be posted lately in the office kitchenette. Adds Angie: “Who knew a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich fit into a ‘special diet’?” Perhaps next time the writer could just hop (er, drive) on over to Taco Bell?

November 5th, 2007 · 184 Comments

says our anonymous contributor from los angeles: “this is page three (!) of a three-page letter of complaints from my wife’s (ex) office manager to the heads of the company.” apparently one of her coworkers, jake, merited his own page. (no word on how this went over with the bosses.)

P.S. Bacon is life

This note is like the teenager who manages to contain themselves long enough to grudgingly recite a lengthy mandated apology, but then can’t resist turning around and giving the finger afterwards…or the perky flight attendant who finally cracks when the drunk fat guy hits the call button again at the end of a long flight.
