writes our anonymous submitter: “amie and i were friends since junior high. we had plans to go out for my 22nd birthday, but she canceled the day of. i said it was cool and that we should reschedule, and then i never heard from her again…until four years later, when she requested me as a friend on facebook. i rejected her. she friend-requested me again, and i rejected her…again.”

amie, however, didn’t seem to get the message.

adds our submitter: “for the record, my response was ‘thanks for the congrats!’”

on a recent roadtrip around southern maine, noelle and her friends hilary and misha spotted this puzzling little note posted in the back of a gas station convenience store.

when they left, noelle says, “the manager ran after us, screaming, ‘what were you girls doing, taking pictures of my store like that?!’” noelle and her friends fessed up, explaining that they thought the note to pat was funny, is all. the manager’s reply: “oh, pat! soon as we put up that sign, he quit! that was five years ago. we just haven’t gotten around to taking it down yet. haven’t seen him since!”

oh, pat.

writes coco: “[about a year ago,] while visiting home (charleston — south carolina’s lone bastion of remote liberalism) — i left my ‘is it 2008 yet?’ sticker-adorned car in san francisco’s outer richmond district for friends to babysit. upon my return, my friend presented me with this note, which had been left on my windshield sometime that afternoon. i would expect this in charleston, but in san francisco?  i blame the patrons of the golf course my car was parked next to.”

anthony in salt lake city, utah was a little perplexed when the new lady sharing his cubicle put this little number up. odder still, he says, “is the fact that this particular wall was originally my half — she took everything i had on that end and moved it to the other side.”

says anthony: “apparently she thinks i’m going to poke the messiah’s high school yearbook picture all day — or maybe the note is what he’s thinking?”

spotted by lange from cambridge, mass. while campaigning for obama in new hampshire. says lange: “decided against bugging them with our political spiel. (we assumed they were obama supporters anyway.)”

meanwhile, corporate belt-tightening isn’t going over so well with the office grunts this halloween.  “this was the response to the environment/holiday committee’s lack of halloween candy in the office after already ‘decorating’ the office with empty candy containers,” says our submitter in los angeles.

in oakridge, oregon, however — as our submitter tyree noticed — they don’t go in much for subtlelty.
