This note, from Michelle in Denver, displays the remarkable lengths that some people will go to avoid confrontation.

![To the person who help themselves to my entire carton of eggs. I saw what you did and I know who you are. I sit 10 steps from the frig [sic] ya big good. The jig is up pal But hang on. Today is your lucky day. I'm not going to say a word to anyone. But moving forward if so much as a grape goes missing from either refrigerator, then I'm going to HR. Have a nice day :)](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3435/3817250401_eb9f9401e6.jpg "To the person who help themselves to my entire carton of eggs. I saw what you did and I know who you are.

Kim in Canberra says this A3-sized missive was posted in numerous locations on all four floors of her building. Of this numbered list, I’d say #3 is what puts it over the top.

Writes Matt in Los Angeles: “I went to get some of the 2% milk I keep in our communal work fridge for my coffee, and BAM! — front and center was this lovely.”
