comrades, take notice!

August 23rd, 2009 · 92 comments

sarah in san francisco convinced her friend tim to take a photo of this note, the third in a series of progressively sterner notes that has appeared in his office restroom. writes sarah: “i am a fan of, inter alia, the fact that the author ‘buries the lead’ in the p.s. in the middle; the phrase ‘do not leave with the toilet paper,’ as if it’s something you pick up at a bar and take home before the beer goggles wear off; the statement that toilet paper ‘belongs to the public,’ like the state’s natural resources; and of course, the threat to make the perpetrator pay…and more.”

the toilet paper belongs to the public

meanwhile, this note from jen in richmond, b.c. is both more specific and yet, more puzzling.

comrades, take note!

i mean, subbing paper towels for TP, i understand…you gotta do what you gotta do when your rations run out. but drying your hands with toilet paper? really, comrades?

is your washroom breeding Bolsheviks?

k, so, we’ve all seen a million notes like this…

sad little orphans

(check out that sad little orphan S!)
 mom?

 "you're mom!"

 your mother = a french maid?

…but it actually takes a real mother to poke a hole in that logic.

frig you, ya big goof

August 19th, 2009 · 126 comments

this note, from michelle in denver, displays the remarkable lengths that some people will go to avoid confrontation.

and, adds michelle: “this bright-green gem wasn’t the only priceless thing visible. on the cubicle wall closest to the refrigerators was a camera…and it was actually connected to the computer and recording a live feed. this is why you don’t steal from the fridge when you work for a multimedia corporation!”

an evening of congenial abnormality

August 17th, 2009 · 135 comments

alexandra in renton, washington received this invitation from a former supervisor at a hospital. “rumors had been circulating that she and another supervisor had a personality clash, and then recently an email was distributed indicating that her position had been terminated.”

this note gets of to a roaring with start with the mention of “12 years, the first ten of them terrific,” and the “come hear all about it” seems to portend some seriously juicy trash-talking. adds alexandra: “i wouldn’t miss this party for the world.”

daddy’s little smartass

nick in florida was in his car one day, when he “pulled up at a light, looked to my left, and immediately started laughing.” he quickly pulled out his iphone, snapped a photo, then get stepped on the gas before daddy dearest could get out and beat the crap out of him.

fuck you, chelsea :)

meanwhile, lisa in maryland spotted this in front of a small computer store near her office.

a new twist on the walk of shame

August 13th, 2009 · 125 comments

ah, college. you’d think living in an all-girls dorm might solve problems like this…

ah, college

ah, college

but then you get…this. explains hannah in pullman, washington: “i live in an all-girls dorm, and guys aren’t allowed to use the bathrooms in the hall. the rule is they are supposed to be escorted out into the lobby…which is a apparently too long of a walk for some people.”

textbook dmitri

August 12th, 2009 · 182 comments

k, so court in michigan met this guy out at a bar. he seemed harmless enough, but court knew right he wasn’t her type. still, she didn’t have the heart to give him a flat-out “no” when he asked for her number. (she couldn’t give him a fake one, either, ’cause he the did the “dial his number into the phone and call” thing.)

says court: “the first time he called, i talked to him and decided right then i definitely wasn’t interested.” by the end of the conversation, she figured he’d gotten the message…but then he kept calling. and then, texting. when she didn’t respond, court says, “i assumed he’d take the hint…but i’m not too sure he did.” um, yeah, you could say that.

[submitter katrine's rough translation: won't you be kind and wipe your boogers off in a piece of toilet paper instead of on the walls/kind regards the janitor]

won't you be so kind as to NOT WIPE YOUR BOOGERS ON THE WALL?
