This is a special note indeed. The idiosyncratic spelling, spacing, and bolding are fascinating — and I love how the third sentence is so rhetorical it doesn’t even deserve a question mark.

Why should other people have to clean up after you Please have respect for others. Please put your dishes in the dishwasher.](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4130/5039311546_d73e69e42c.jpg "Special people stop leaving your garage [sic]in the sink.
