sarah in new zealand says all three of these notes went up before 10 a.m. on monday (trash day). adds sarah: “we can only assume that oliver keeps some kind of detailed diary about everything that happens in our flat, but only refers to it when things haven’t been done.”

in other words…move it along, grandma!

both of these signs would have gotten their points across perfectly well in just a few words…but the true passive-aggressive always knows how to convey his or her true meaning with just one more choice phrase.

i am seriously like gonna hyperventilate and die, and it will be your fault

October 21st, 2008 · 161 comments

earlier this year, emma in california was sharing a kitchen with three other girls. one day, out of the blue, one of her roommates posted this note. (warning: prepare to reexamine any preconceptions you may have about mormons, straight-edgers, and college-aged women in general.)

untitled 06.17.08 2

by the next morning, emma says, the note was promptly defaced, but pam didn’t respond until about a week or so later, when she announced she was moving out. apparently, she was saving it all up for her final missive. (side note to god: while pam may have a filthy mouth, she did censor herself from taking your name in vain!)
