When even leaving a note is too direct…you folks with wireless networks still named “linksys” or “trendnet” are clearly missing out on a priceless opportunity to piss off your neighbors.

(Thanks to submitters Paul in St. Paul, Stirling in Salt Lake City, Arcadiy in Seattle, Denise in Rochester, Sara in Berkeley, Liz in Austin, and Breanne [...]

Writes Jay in Miami Beach: “The woman who lives in Apt. 2, right next to the front door of the building, had such a stinky dog smell emanating from her apartment that you could smell it through the closed door.”
Presumably, she could hear everyone’s complaints through the closed door, too.

tom took notice of this “open letter” — a thoughtful missive that clearly merits our collective attention — on a telephone pole in san francisco.
if we’re really lucky, perhaps this richard asshat character will grace us with an open response in the comments, whiteblizzard70-style?

(note: for your further enrichment, here’s a less faded graphic of the [...]

our anonymous submitter in california is not the resident of apartment 105, but she knew exactly who this note was intended for. “the dude in 105 lets his dog out, deposit her gifts on the sidewalk, and then run back. dude stands and watches her, perfectly at his ease,” she says. “this has been going [...]

you decide! which clip art catastrophe raises the most new and troubling questions in your mind?
is it exhibit a, from new york’s west village?

(think about the designer’s thought process here for a moment. why the sunglasses? and not just any shades…but electric blue sunglasses? ditto, the sunflower.)
exhibit b, from a casino in cambodia?

j. star says he found this passive-aggressive twist on the old rspca campaign/scottish band in a cincinnati parking lot. (pet-lovers: just to let you know, it was crumpled up on the ground, not on his windshield.)

based on the online/canine aging scale (one dog year = one youtube day) this video is pretty much on its last legs, but we love it just the same. consider this post a mercy shot of euthanasia. (and thanks to maximilian, jen, chris, willa, nattie, cat and dave for passing along!)

as we’ve seen this week, notes re: the neighbor’s constantly barking dog often end up being less passive-aggressive and more out-and-out aggressive. but as matt noticed, this san francisco resident was able to put a festive holiday spin on the old not-so-veiled threat.

The inimitable Jeff Rubin passes along this note from the foyer of his Park Slope apartment building. Yup, that’s what you think it is there on the floor. (Perhaps a hapless victim of the bag-tampering deliquent?)

(Jeff says the mess was cleaned up when he checked a few hours later.)
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Brooklyn, confusion still reigns.

Sadly, no backstory for this one, except that it was found on a door in San Francisco — but I think this is one of those exchanges that does pretty much speak for itself.
Despite the obvious criticism richard opens himself up to, I think you have to give the guy props for having the guts [...]

My own neighborhood of Park Slope, Brooklyn has high concentrations of dogs, babies, crazies and bloggers, which makes for a heady brew of incredibly well-documented passive-aggressiveness. Certain notes (like this long-running series) show up in my inbox over and over again. I’ve gotten various iterations of this note from no fewer than six different people [...]

Those troublemakers requesting more crazy apartment notes can thank our anonymous submitter (a GM at a property management firm in Springfield, Missouri) for today’s masterpiece. “One of our resident managers delivered this letter to 115 units at her property, then e-mailed me a copy because she was REALLY proud of it,” our submitter writes. “I got halfway [...]

Presenting, for your analysis, this anonymous contribution from a hair salon in Bettendorf, Iowa (pop. 32,394). For the scatologically inclined vandal (and for Putz’s owner) the unconscious issues at play appear to be anything but borderline. College psych majors: care to address which stage of psychosexual development is associated with passive-aggressiveness?

so, our anonymous submitter had lived at her house in austin, texas for about two months when she went out of town for the weekend. for the two days while she was gone, she left her dog outside in the yard. three weeks later, her landlord – who lives at a completely different address — [...]

Wesh snapped this a few years back in Red Hook, Brooklyn, while walking from his brother’s rehearsal dinner to the after-party bar.
Says Wesh: “What gets me are the flags. Why flags?”
