			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Note: the following message has explicitly NOT been approved by <a href="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_le0tltyRGo1qcrfn8o1_400.jpg" target="_blank">Jack Donaghy</a>. (Do not be fooled by that GE logo at the bottom of the page.)</p>
<p>Remarkably enough, our submitter, Dan in Milwaukee, says the following message was NOT penned by a satirical television writer, but rather by an anonymous member of the office Green Police. (The two pennies — payment for 2011&#8242;s extra energy usage — were then added later by an anonymous member of the office Bullshit Police.)</p>
<p><a class="flickr-image alignnone" rel="flickr-mgr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/passiveaggressive/5704357882/"><img class="flickr-original" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="Did you know?  The &quot;Remaining Time&quot; display on a microwave can use up to 30% more energy than the clock does?  The clock only updates once a minute, flashing the time is much more frequent. So be green.

Every little bit helps." longdesc="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3252/5704357882_7a2c852bcd_o.jpg" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3252/5704357882_76dd61a6c7_b.jpg" alt="Did you know?

<p>This is, of course, simply a new strategy in <a href="http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2008/02/19/crazy-is-right/" target="_blank">the ongoing war</a> being waged in kitchenettes across the world by the United League of Office Workers Who Have Nothing Better to Complain About.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dealing with the rantings of your crazy boss or overzealous receptionist is one thing, but what do you do when your office&#8217;s resident passive-aggressive note-leaver doesn&#8217;t even work there? Casey in San Diego (a.k.a. RunBarbara) says that&#8217;s the situation she&#8217;s found herself in at her job.</p>
<p>The offender, Sandra, &#8220;has met me a total of twice, both times for less than a minute,&#8221; Casey says. Yet for some reason, when Sandra (the aunt of the owner) stops by the office once a week to water the plants and drop off supplies, &#8220;she leaves these strange notes EVERYWHERE — and she almost always directs questions about said notes <em>to me</em>,&#8221; Casey says. <em>&#8220;</em>I often have no idea she posts these notes until someone asks me about the odd directions in them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Below, a small sampling of Sandra&#8217;s delightfully bizarrre directives. (Just click on the photos to enlarge.)</p>
<p><a class="flickr-image alignnone" title="TO THE MEN WHO ARE USING THE &quot;WOMENS&quot; LADIES ROOM" rel="flickr-mgr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/passiveaggressive/2383438397/"><img class="flickr-large" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="TO THE MEN WHO ARE USING THE &quot;WOMENS&quot; LADIES ROOM" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2344/2383438397_b5f203e37c_b.jpg" alt="TO THE MEN WHO ARE USING THE &quot;WOMENS&quot; LADIES ROOM" width="527" height="415" /></a></p>
<p><a class="flickr-image alignnone" title="POTLUCK IS ON FRIDAY!!!!!!! THE THEME IS MONGOLIA BBQ" rel="flickr-mgr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/passiveaggressive/2383438701/"><img class="flickr-original" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="POTLUCK IS ON FRIDAY!!!!!!!

<p>I&#8217;d like to think this note was posted immediately following the &#8220;potluck&#8221;&#8230;</p>
