30 Weird And Nasty Things People Actually Put In Writing That Should’ve Just Stayed In Their Thoughts
InterviewPoets write love notes in a bid to win their lover’s heart, dreamers put their notes in a bottle and let the sea take care of it, and many people like you and me, they can imagine their shopping trip with a grocery list.
But sometimes, notes, or rather their writers, take a more sinister turn. As a result, from time to time, people spot passive-aggressive, weird and questionable notes and messages glued to anywhere from shop windows, coffee places, their own buildings, you name it.
Below we wrapped up some of the most mildly infuriating notes that make you wonder why some thoughts land on paper when they'd have been better off kept inside the writer's head.

This Made Me Mad
That's heartbreaking. It looks so well done. Hope they found a different baby (and more appreciative parent!) to gift it to.
I don't have a baby, but I love it and would happily accept it. And...*gasp* I'm even someone's daughter
Load More Replies...Looks like someone thinks rainbows are only for "the gays". That's a gorgeous quilt. I've got a *lot* of rainbow colored stuff in my room, by the way, and I'm cis and straight lolol
I said this before, some people think "the gays" invented the rainbow 🙄 bloody ignorant
Load More Replies...It's not even a rainbow really, those are pastels smdh
Load More Replies...Jen's loss is another person's gain. That really is a beautiful quilt. The OP is quite talented. I also can't believe that the ingrate wrote "Seriously?!?!" like "duh"? She definitely does not know how to be gracious or polite.
I know. I would be thrilled to get this quilt and would be so grateful that OP put in all that thought and effort to make it for me.
Load More Replies...I think your stitches are beautiful and your intentions are good. The right recipient will treasure it.
Virtually every recipient but Jen. I hope there are no more like her. Poor daughter.
Load More Replies...I would love this blanket. I have many rainbow things, I had the Adidas Pride Shelltops... I'm cis and heterosexual... I also am not a raving homophobe and give zero f*cks if I'm mistaken as "one". Rainbows are the best. Jen is a tw4t
I'm a straight cis woman and I freaking love rainbows. They make me happy. If someone mistakes me for gay, *shrug*
Load More Replies...Inappropriate colours… so she’s ruling out the entire colour spectrum for her daughter. I guess she’ll be stuck in black, grey and white then!
I am almost certain that Jen's colour palette runs along the beige and ivory tones because she thinks that they're classy and tasteful, which is ironic because that is everything she is not.
Load More Replies...To find out when leaving a note to someone is a good idea and when it isn’t, as well as how to sound nice in writing or when it is better to talk face-to-face, Bored Panda reached out to Beth Collier, a communication, creativity, & leadership consultant.
Racist Karen Left This Note
Oh s**t. I dated a Chinese guy for 22 years and I'm a white person who was adopted at birth into a Mexican family. Not only did I sin with interracial dating, I sinned with INTERRACIAL BEING ALIVE!!! XD Also, "a neighbor" is such a racist chode-gargler. I was going to give them cráp for the horribly racist and pejorative term "Indian" vs. "indigenous person" or "Native" or even, you know, the actual tribe name/tribe identity of the person they sent the letter to. Then I remembered that árseholes like "a neighbor" just don't care.
My first thought was that the people were Indian (as in having heritage from India) but that the neighbor interpreted it as them being Native American.
Load More Replies..."I am not racist" must mean something very different on whatever planet this POS is from.
As Native Americans were here first and European immigrants stole this land from them, I suggest that "A Neighbor" go back where her people came from, for the 'well-being of her and her family'.
Yup, it's infuriating how white people in my area 'Colorado' claim to be 'native' just because they were front-butt-dumped here.
Load More Replies...All racists start their sentences with, "im not a racist, but..." Also, that she called them Indian and not Native American proves her ignorance right there.
Oh, I actually thought they were Indian (from India) and the woman was confused
Load More Replies...I would go straight to 1. the police and 2. to the local newspaper and radio station, with names.
I am with you on this. Interracial relationships are not a sin, but sometimes people use God to justify their stupidity, racism, or narrow minded views and it ticks me off because it inaccurately describes God. This is the adult version of “my parents said…” and people need to grow up and take responsibility for their own views and stop saying “God says” in order to put weight to their puny argument.
Load More Replies...Found In A Tenancy Facebook Group
This is shocking - not that they're trying to unfairly withhold bond, but that they're brazen enough to post about it!
There are actually forums for landlords like these
Load More Replies...My landlord charged me for a broken butter dish (the ones in refrigerators) after I moved out. I never thought of taking pictures of the inside of my refrigerator to avoid them making up charges.
My tenants left the flat with a cracked sink, coving pulled off the ceiling, broken windows and more, and I only got £50 back to cover the damage.
Load More Replies...Oh, s**t. Worst tenants ever!!! They left the house in perfect conditions... They ruined my Christmas!!!!!
Pretty sure this was written by a troll. Even the little money bag 💰. That's obviously what a troll would add for extra effect :) How would this even work? Everywhere I lived, when you move in you go through the apartment and check everything is okay and sign a paper provided by the landlord. When you move out you go though the list again and landlord signs the paper. Nobody can come afterwards and say "Hey on second thought, the floor was scratched".
This is why you take pictures and have a final walkthrough when you leave a rental.
Nothing like publicly posting your intention to commit what is probably a criminal act. Stupid is as stupid does.
I did and it was this guy ➛ 🧌 After rolling his eyes 👀 he then lead me down the garden path and and started telling me a story. Not only was it a long story but it was also tall and every time he spoke he had his tongue in the cheek. What could this all mean I wondered?🤔
Load More Replies...When asked whether leaving a note to your neighbors about something that you don't like is the way to go, Beth said that it depends on the situation.
“A face-to-face conversation can be preferable, as you can get more information (and possibly a resolution) faster from a conversation.” She explained: “For example, your neighbor may not realize that their music is loud or that their barking dog is bothering you, and you might be able to resolve this situation quickly through a short conversation.”
That’s So Wrong
He's gonna complain cause she ate a whole salad??? God help her if she had a carb or a piece of meat. He'd have really lost his shît if she had dessert...
Load More Replies...She ate a WHOLE damn salad? How dare she! Why, next she'll want a main course, and maybe even dessert. What next? A drink with her meal?
Eating while owning an uterus, how does she dare! /sar effing casm
Load More Replies...He almost *exploded* because she finished a SALAD?! Also his use of "women" instead of "woman" is making me rage.
At least she found out after the first date. That should make it much easier to move on.
She can't eat salad? What's she supposed to live on, half a lettuce leaf and good vibes?
Ahhahahahahaha I love this so much! Also, she can't poop, because it's gross.
Load More Replies...My Work Doesn’t Allow You To Use A Toilet As A Toilet
Stop! this bowl is for cereal only- if wishing to eat chile use other bowl!
Sorry but asking as person from Chile, do you mean chilli perhaps?
Load More Replies...Nope, use one of these smelly ink packets mixed with brown rotten fruit and meat paste. Much more satisfying, although I feel sorry for the person who have to clean it up.
Load More Replies...I know asparagus makes your pee smell bad, but coffee?
Load More Replies...They do, theirs just smell like Levander and potpourri
Load More Replies...If I saw that sign, I'd make it a point to deposit a massive 200lb man deuce for them.
I Was Recently Engaged To My Girlfriend And Someone Sent Me This In The Mail
"...as a man with two grown daughters, I'm 100% sure they both suffer inside in silence..." - yep, I'll take that bet, I have no doubt his daughters suffer immeasurably with him for a father.
What a twat waffle. Congratulations OP, here's to a happy life for you and you wife to be.
How often he has to write that she is beautiful. So ugly women are allowed to be lesbian then, because no man would want them anyways?
How is the marriage between two consenting adults become anyone else's business unless that person is one of the people in the marriage?
Yikes. He added in a touch of racism too, as if the rampant homophobia wasn't bad enough.
in original post on reddit OP says she found out it was written by her mother.
My daughter is dating a trans-man and I can't wait for them to get married. F that guy, it ain't his life
On the other hand, the leadership consultant argues, “if you leave a note instead, your neighbor may interpret your message more critically, and may respond more negatively as a result.”
Beth says that if you don't feel safe or comfortable speaking to the neighbor, then it's OK to write a note, “just choose your words carefully."
The First Time I Went By Myself. Today I Took My Husband With Me. Spot The Difference
Unless it's the only place like it nearby, why go back after the first encounter? Ew.
I'm more concerned w the fact that they have 132 unread text messages.
I super wish you had sent your husband to pick it up the first time so he could let the texting attendant know how very much he appreciated being noticed as gorgeous. I would pay good money to see that.
Apparently Submitting Assignments Before The Due Date Is Considered “Late”
Report to the department head and college dean. Threaten to tell reporters unless its fixed
OP did complain to someone higher up and their grade was adjusted.
Load More Replies...Canvas deadline time is always 11:59pm (as far as I’m aware). The prof can’t make up a new deadline an hour earlier that isn’t publicised. What are these academics on?!
Also if the dead line as Feb 1... And they submitted it in on Jan 31st that would technically be 24 hours and 14 min early. Bc like you said Canvas deadlines are 11:59pm the day it is due. The professor is an idiot.
Load More Replies...As someone who has actually graded papers: Who the eff peed in the professor's morning coffee, because they're going against all normal and established convention just to deduct points
yup. "it's due tomorrow!" "hey teacher I have my paper if you're ready to take it" " HOW DARE YOU TURN IN YOUR PAPER THIS LATE "
Load More Replies...Handed in just before deadline doesn't mean started just before deadline. Most likely this student wanted to take all the available allotted time to present their best work.
This professor is a narrow minded idiot. A deadline is a deadline, not a suggestion. His "no less than an hour before" is even more stupid; he literally punished the student over an arbitrary idea and suggested another arbitrary idea as a solution. I have a better solution: decide on a clear deadline and both sides stick to it. That way, there is no chance of misunderstanding. I've held onto my work or assignments until the last moments to give myself time to review, enrich, rethink, etc.
If it's due on the 1st, then this was receive a full day before it was due.
That was my thought, too. "On the 1st" means up to 23:59 on Feb 1. "By the 1st" means up to 23:59 Jan 31.
Load More Replies...Aren due dates inclusive? So the latest time would be 11:59 PM, February 1st.
This Note Left On A Truck
Sorry stupid people shouldn't be breathing precious oxygen.
Load More Replies...Electric/Hybrids don't have a positive impact on the environment. They can be neutral at best, but that is not currently possible. Most electricity is produced from fossil fuels anyway. Having an EV and charging it with solar is awesome, but it is a massive initial investment, both financially and environmentally; and takes a long time to start paying for itself. Buying an EV would be a great idea if one is in the market for a new vehicle, but there is no reason to scrap your gas-guzzler if it still runs reasonably well.
Using my 18 years old VW is more environmentwlly friendly than buying a new electric. It is insane how people do not count the manufacturing impact in the equation which is insanely huge for a new car, which most definitely wont run for 20 years. I will keep this car running as long as I can.
Load More Replies...maybe they should look at where they mine for the stuff to make the batteries first
And what happens to the batteries after they no longer work.
Load More Replies...This comment is hidden. Click here to view.
Load More Replies...Dear Tire Fighters. I have turned your house into a fertilizer farm. You'll be angry, but don't take it personally. we need to take all the cr@p spewing from your mouth to grow plants and make a positive impact on our environment. sorry, not sorry. -XOXO the devil's advocate
No this is okay, it's called urban farming and ya know we all should really be eating healthier and not eat meat/s
Load More Replies...Hmm surely deflating it then ensures it needing to be re-inflated? So does that not then have a knock on effect to another car towing or piece of machinery (which probably uses petrol or battery) to re-inflate? Thus we have doubled the poor innocent tyres carbon emissions?? Educate yourselves before you preach. Pfft these protest are actually getting ridiculously funny now in certain instances. P.s. edit for spelling mistake
And it depends on how they deflated it. If they punctured it, that's rubber waste because it has to be replaced.
Load More Replies..."Get an EV!" Sure, lemme just go to bed so the money fairy can leave 50k under my pillow.
how did you type the f word enlighten me anna i must know :0
Load More Replies...The police won't even come out to look at the scene for something like this, especially if there were no actual damages. They'd probably laugh and write them a ticket for having a flat.
Load More Replies...It’s all fun and tire popping until your caught red handed and someone calls the cops and you get arrested and held liable for damages. 😒
In order not to sound passive-aggressive in a note that could potentially aggravate the situation, Beth’s advice is to “be polite, explain the situation, and look for a solution together. Your neighbor may be inconsiderate, but they may not know there is even an issue.”
Beth argues that it’s best to “write the note like an adult speaking to another adult - not like a parent speaking to a naughty child. Keep your message short and simple - but be clear about what the issue is, and what you want.”
This Poorly Written Letter From My Passive Aggressive Neighbor Telling Me To Remove My 'Legally-Owned' Plants From My Property
Is this the police? Yes, I'd like to report fake plants on someone's porch.
*goes flamingo and garden gnome shopping* also borrows three goats for a month. They "accidentally" escape every night, and roam around the neighbourhood eating all the real plants.
Load More Replies..."We have chosen to remain anonymous because we are cowards." Fixed it for them!
I feel like it's b.s. and it was one neighbor hoping to scare this person from removing the plants.
Load More Replies...Was this written by a fourth grader? Myself have read it and there inconstitencies reflect extremely poorly to the group and state environment official important person who have chose to must within 2 days to remove the flowery.
Ni! .......... Man, if no one gets the reference, this is going to fall flat! XD
Load More Replies...An lawsuit? To hell with your "notice" both for its content and shite grammar.
The author...and the other 14 fake identies in their head all conferred and felt the poor grammar seemed ominous.
Load More Replies...Ooh! Quickly, glue a plastic pink luminous flamingo on your porch!
I'd use those two days to put up a security camera, so I could file charges against whichever a*****e came to steal my fake flowers.
Left On My Sister’s Windshield… Who Is From Asheville, But Has South Carolina Plates… Stay Classy Asheville
Go away and take that tourist money our economy benefits from with you immediately!!!!1
Tell that to the former citizens of Prague, a town completely ruined by tourism that became so expensive that during COVID it became a ghost town because no one actually lives there anymore. Tourism can absolutely be a horrible impact to any city. This here is still wrong of course. Not every visitor is a tourist
Load More Replies...I ran into something like this in San Sebastian, Spain. Except the idiots that didn't want our tourism money decided to deface their own beautiful town by spray painting it across scenic outlooks. So now it's ruined for tourists and the citizens! Solid!
I was under the impression that Americans were free to roam America at their leisure.
I like how this person had these printed and no doubt made a bunch to pass out to all the tourists. Lol get a life buddy.
Spent the bulk of my childhood in central WI. Born in IL, have been living back here again for more of my life now. Some of my family is still in central WI and I get this treatment with my IL plate when I'm up there. It's ridiculous.
I'm in LA and we do quite a bit of filming here, lol...most are very aware of this, but then we get the ones that come out and scream at the crew, even though they were notified days in advance, and if they are going to be on their property, they are paid massive amounts of money. The city gets paid a huge fee as well as it benefitting the local businesses. We were filming a commercial in Pasadena in a residential area when Karen came out screaming that we were filming in front of her dad's house and he was out of town. The location manager said that he signed off on it, and was getting a fee, she said that we were all liars and called him on her mobile... he told her that he absolutely gave permission and that she needed to mind her own business, lol
People were doing that during Covid. It’s like, I just moved here, I did my two weeks isolation, how do you propose I get new plates when EVERYTHING IS SHUT DOWN?!
Student Gets A Zero On An Assignment For Turning It In Unstapled
I would appeal this, take it to the head of faculty. It's nasty power play and nothing to do with academic ability.
Absolutely. This professor is on a HUGE power trip. Take this to head of faculty and everyone above that; deflate this motherfücker because there's probably other victims without such a shiny spine that need your strength.
Load More Replies...As a professor, it used to drive me crazy when students didn’t staple their pages. But I never took off points for them and certainly would never give them a zero!
As a teacher, I just staple it for them if it isn’t stapled. I mean, how many students have staplers at home?
Load More Replies...A lot like the penalty for turning in your assignment 13 minutes before due date, must be the same professor or a clone !
I had a professor like that in my graduation! Wouldn't accept assignment in a file, stapled pages only. And those should be handwritten because "there's no hardwork in printing"
I want to know if it had the visible crease showing they tried to staple it and didn't notice they were out. Adding insult to injury
This gets sent to the dean. Instructor gets reprimanded. Grade gets adjusted. If repeated, instructor loses academic hours. 🤷🏼♀️
I dropped a class for this BS. Took an alternative class for 8 weeks. Big ole' NOPE.
"If you know the neighbor and have a decent relationship with them, it can be easier (and faster) to speak to them face-to-face. When you talk to someone face-to-face, it is easier to communicate your tone and meaning than it is in writing,” Beth explained.
She also reminds readers to think about timing if you approach them (e.g. you might want to avoid meal times, or late at night/first thing in the morning). “And don't approach them when you're angry."
One Of A Seemingly Endless Series Of Unreasonable Notes Left By My Boss. It’s Great Here
If they can't afford electricity, they surely can't afford to pay wages.
Perfect ammo for malicious compliance... the idiot didn't mention whether it mattered if the devices were personal or work-related... *runs around unplugging everything*
ITS ELECTRIC THEFT TO CHARGE ANYTHING ON THIS PREMISES
Load More Replies...Accountant here. Now let me create a spreadsheet and review the last 12 months of electric bills, fill that in on the spreadsheet, then calculate the average per-wattage cost. Then watch and notate each time you charge your mobile phone and for how long, to estimate the amount of electricity you used during each payroll cycle. Then, while working on payroll, be sure to deduct that $.01 from your paycheck. This will indeed reimburse the electricity! The hour or so of my salary spent on this each month? WELL worth it! 🙄🙄🙄
Ummm how can you tell what employee is charging a phone for you to mess with their pay? Unless you actually see it, do you have a dedicated Steve outlet that you monitor?
Also, unless it is a stated policy (not a note posted on a wall) altering or shorting pay is a legal Labor/wage violation.
Load More Replies...And bring your own oxygen tanks and your own water to flush the toilet.
It costs less than a penny to charge a phone. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/cost-of-living/mobile-phone-charge-cost-electricity-25203800.amp
My 1st company did this to all their employees. The shop and office staff complied. However, I was workshop staff and we told them that we would comply however, we would now be submitting our dental bills to the company (my job involves using a mouth pipe which, over years, wears down your teeth) Suddenly, the rules no longer applied to the workshop.
Went To A Friendsgiving, They Let Their Neighbor Know Ahead Of Time That They Would Be Having People Over, It Was 4:45pm On A Saturday And About 6 People Were There At That Point. He Abruptly Knocked On The Door Once, Taped This Note To The Door And Ran Off
That's the cost of living in such a place, deal with it or move. You're an atterny you prabably have the fonds to muve aot.
'Hello, police? Oh, how did you guess it was me? Sorry to keep bothering you, but it's getting worse. First fake plants on the porch, then bare feet. And now...now...a PARTY. There must be at least six people in there. I'm an attorney, you know. What? I should shove what up my WHAT?'
Why is the spacing so weird.. he cant stand the words being close the same as he cant stand being close to other people?
Yesssss! I was hating it while reading... And I have been a university lecturer for 20 years.
Load More Replies..."We all must respect one another."??? They could write that with a straight face? And since when do police take noise complaints in advance?
I. Have. To. Think. Quite. Some. Time. Before. Writing. The. Next. Word.
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one bothered by that lol
Load More Replies...What Is Wrong With People? Open Your Own Mail
got curious over what was in a birthday card? more like wondering if there was money
Curiously, opening someone's mail is a federal crime. Stealing money from the post is wire fraud and is a federal felony
Load More Replies...This s**t is a federal offense. I know it would be difficult but you should try and get this person prosecuted.
Take the evidence to the closest big post office with a post master.
Load More Replies...My brother's tax assessment got sent to the address across the street from him. The neighbour flagged him down, and told him: "You have good news and bad news. The good news is that you received a tax refund. The bad news is that they didn't mail it to you yet." The dude had opened my brother's letter because he was that type of nosy guy. From then on, we knew that he couldn't be trusted with anything.
Federal crime to open someone else's mail. Nail him for a felony.
Load More Replies...That's a crime... I had a package misdelivered some time ago and whoever got it didn't open it, although they definitely opened the door from the garage into the house to leave the package there for me (Dad left the garage door open on accident), and that was decidedly weird.
I have opened letters that have come into my mailbox on the assumption that they're for me, only to realise that it was for a previous occupant, or had been misdelivered. Never on purpose though....
Not if it's delivered to your house and you open it. You can't go steal other people's mail but there is an assumption anything put in your mailbox is yours. No one would file charges over a birthday card sent to the wrong address.
Load More Replies...I'm *Trying* To Date And I Encounter This Constantly. Why Is It Such A Big Deal That I Choose Not To Drink Alcohol?
Omg, its like there are no beverages other than water and alcohol in the whole entire world! I think I'm going to go get a Shirley temple now. Anyone who doesn't currently consume/want to consume alcohol is welcome to join me!
Load More Replies...But if you don't drink then how am I going to take advantage of you?
Hahahaha, this right here! Or at the most innocent he has a drinking problem and it stands out to much if everyone isn't drinking. That was my deal for years. Just didn't want to admit I had a problem.
Load More Replies...I’m a recovering alcoholic (22 yrs sober) a guy I was on a date with went on about it so much I told him I couldn’t see him again cos the alcohol in his aftershave made me want to pin him down and lick his face
My mum also used to be an alcoholic. I think she’s 15 years sober now.
Load More Replies...I don't understand why she's trying so hard to make this work. He would have lost me at "that's weird".
I hate anyone imposing their lifestyle on another. You can drink and the other person can abstain. Is that too tough to contemplate?
I really hate that too. It’s like people have no respect for the other person’s choices cause they somehow impact them which they actually don't. All she has is a designated driver and shes mad about it.
Load More Replies...This USPS Delivery Guy Who Left A Passive-Agressive Note On My Mother's Package Of Cat Food. She Has An Injured Back
And how do the driver know what's inside the box? Smell or looked? I guess there [isn't] any items list on the outside of the box?
Load More Replies...I'm calling B.S. First off, how would the driver know what is in the box? Also, drivers don't have the time to be writing cr*p like that.
Exactly. It wasn't the driver. It could've been the packer, but they have to make insane numbers, too. Can't imagine any of them taking the time (thus risking their job) to write this.
Load More Replies...I get not wanting to carry the heavy stuff - that's exactly why I pay for delivery, which is literally the delivery person's job. If the packages are too heavy, talk to your union about H&S, and get a stairclimbing truck/dolly for overweight packages, or campaign for lower maximum weights. Don't write passive agressive notes to the people receiving the service you are being paid to provide.
Yup. Folks can complain themselves right out of a job if people take them up on suggestions like these.
Load More Replies...I worked at the PO & you'd be amazed how personal people get w/ their mail carrier. Even without ever talking w/ customers, you can tell a fair amount about them by what they get or don't get in their mail. As is w/ anything that becomes familiar, repetitious & monotonous you start knowing what people get by the sound packages make, the weight, the people.... all kinds of clues & processes of elimination. You don't even have to be looking or nosy, you just start to know. Anyway. Yeah... we hated Amazon Pantry delivery. I hated delivering dog food, cases of water & toliet paper but would never ever mention that to a customer. It can be great but there's also a far amount of cursing under your breath
Load More Replies...Heavy items are heavy. Some people can't lift them into/from car, and then carry them however far to their door. That's why Amazon (et al) get paid to do it.
Some people can't even drive, or have a car, but hey go to the shop and lug 50lb worth of goods on your back. Home delivery is my salvation
Load More Replies...This is so stupid, people buy online for lots of reasons, not only because they’re disabled
Basically because they can. And it shouldn't be anybody's business about what they buy as long as it's paid for.
Load More Replies...I hate my Fedex guy because he dumps things he thinks are too heavy by the street instead of leaving it on the porch like every other delivery service.
Load More Replies...Get a different job if you don't like delivering mail. Maybe go work in the grueling fast food industry and experience that! Cry baby problem solved!
They Took Out All The Milk We Stored For My 3 Kids And Left Us This Note
I've stayed in 100s of hotels. Never once have I been discouraged from using the mini bar fridge for personal items. But ... Las Vegas. Stayed there once. Awful place.
I stayed at the MGM recently and they hit me up for $45 resort fee, per night, $20 daily parking fee, $7 "housekeeping" fee and because they texted me that my room was ready before I checked in at 5pm, a $65 early check-in charge. They removed that one, but the greed of these big corporate casinos is endless. And annoying.
Great, now the hotels are taking notes from air bnb. Thanks, jerks.
Load More Replies...Another reason to not allow housekeeping into your room unless absolutely necessary.
Las Vegas is a place I have no interest in visiting whatsoever. Don’t most hotels have fridges?
The mini-bar is not a refrigerator, so if you need to store important items like some medicines or breastmilk, you better ask for the refrigerator. But, if you bought a salad and some drinks (already cold) for eating it 2-3 hours later, it's perfect. We can agree that the mini-bar is an additional service (compulsive, if the hotel is 4-star or higher category), and as such it can be subjected to fees. But I never saw something like that. Hotels usually don't make a great business with the mini-bar and the norm is that they don't care about what you do with the mini-bar (within common sense limits, of course).
Yuck. I have family who work there and it's a small fortune to stay at the MGM. They can do better
C'mon MGM! I stayed in a Super 8 with a fridge no extra charge! You can't even beat a Super 8?
Found This Note On My Car After Work
You should use such language more often. It's fun, expressive, runs the point home, and helps with decompression. Fúck, yeah!
Load More Replies...I could even think "poor guy", but the final "LOL" would destroy that feeling.
I accidentally grazed another car in a grocery store as I was leaving. I pulled my car out of the way of other drivers and waited for the owner of the car to come out. There were only slight scratches on each car. The owner of the other car declined to exchange info and reassured me it was no big deal. She was impressed that I had stuck around and ended up giving me big hugs!
When I was a lot younger, I hit someone’s car (driving an older co-worker home, late at night, in unfamiliar area, backing out of her driveway - no good deed, eh?). Wouldn’t even occur to me not to leave a note and it cost me $500. Actually had a woman sideswipe me on the road, damaging my car several years later, and the b***h took off. Tried to follow… Thanks Karma, I thought you’d be on my side.
Had this happen to me....I was so pissed. But lucky me parked my car in a diffent spot where it got hit again a few hours later...second person was a mechanic who was so worried that he fixed both damages without charge. (I told him about the other car)
Dunkin’ Donuts By Me Blatantly Admitting That They Use Ice To Give You Less Coffee In Your Drink
This is not unreasonable if you realise that people ordering iced drinks try to get the more expensive hot option of the drink for cheaper. The iced beverages have a lower price because of the ice. I've seen a video showing an entitled idiot completely going off on another coffee chain because he tried this 'life hack' but only got a half full cup because they used a coffee machine where the barista pressed the button for the beverage he had ordered and it filled the cup to the point it was supposed to fill to leave room for ice and couldn't understand that this was completely automated and the barista could not fill it any further
I dunno. It's an iced beverage. You should expect ice. I get "no ice" in your 7up from the KFC, but asking for an iced coffee without ice is taking the mickey.
Some people have a sensitivity to ice. Also, you are not allowed to have ice after a root canal or a wisdom tooth extraction. You are allowed cold drinks. You are not obligated to share personal medical information to strangers either.
Load More Replies...I can understand this. No ice = more drink. Stingy, yes. But not demonic
I had customers do the "no ice" thing thinking they would get a full glass of homemade lemonade. They were shocked but kept their mouth shut when I returned with glasses about half full. NO ICE DOESN'T MEAN YOU GET MORE PRODUCT.
My sister literally does this. It's so ridiculous. She gets the hot beverage with a separate cup of ice and pours them together. She thinks she's hacked the system, but the fact that it all fits in the iced cup should be a dead giveaway. At least at Starbucks, the grande iced cup is larger than the grande hot cup in order to have extra room for the ice. They don't need to rip you off with cup size. They're ripping you off plenty just by charging you $6 for a cup of f*****g coffee.
Load More Replies...Fountain drinks at most places dont care. But a coffee isn't as high a margin.
Load More Replies...Find it ridiculous that someone is going around down voting people for legitimate questions I truly want to know. If you are charging extra for no ice, are you going to charge someone like myself who always gets extra ice a price break. Fair is fair. And anyone that has a problem with that question can go f themselves
Neighbor Took Delivery Of A Package That Our Business Purchased, Used The Contents, And Now Wants Us To Pay For The Scraps
That's... literally theft. I hope OP took this literal signed confession to the police!

Somebody Left This Note On My Car… In My Assigned Space…
Were you complaining about yourself parking in your assigned space? Perhaps you should give yourself a good talking to.
Time to buy a camera for your car. And I'm sure there is a camera that caught this person in the act
Our covered spaces are open as long as you have the proper placard in your car and I still get these all the time. People think because they get lucky and get to park in a certain spot more often than not, they are entitled to the spot. I've taken to parking in certain spots, even if they are further from my door, just because I can. Hey, I never claimed to be perfect.
Entitled jerk just keep parking in your spot report to management. Had similar issues.
*Gasp* Imagine Having The Audacity To Walk Barefoot In Your Own Apartment
I'd get me a nice pair of "indoor" Doc Martens and fire up some YouTube videos on learning Riverdance....
Go full evil, and make it tap or clogging shoes. /s.
Load More Replies...Just looked up that Ruhezeit is quiet time or rest time in Germany and it's taken super seriously. But I can't imagine barefoot at a walking pace breaking any rules? But I'm not German and don't live in Germany so maybe there is loud barefoot behaviours that I'm unaware of? Maybe there's a lot of big floppy slapping spanking noisy feet in Germany?
I'm from Germany. I walk barefoot a lot and never had complaints 😅 Ruhezeiten are taken REAL serious, though. You can party all you want, but if you don't stop at 10pm sharp, someone in your neighborhood WILL call the police 🙈
Load More Replies...See above (fake plants on porch). 'Hello, police? Yes, it's me again. You won't believe this, but now she's walking around her apartment in BARE FEET!'
This is Germany the police will take it seriously during ruhezeit (ditto with the fake plants if that is a rule where you live)
Load More Replies...I guess they are clomping with their heels because isn’t usually barefoot more quiet?
I agree with all these comments. It's time for malicious compliance. I'm thinking heavy boots, and possibly a cane too. Stomp, tap, stomp, tap...
Nope. It's not to do with any footwear, or lack of it, but simply how much noise they make. Soft slippers would normally be quieter that bare feet, but in either case most people can simply walk more softly so as to not make enough noise to disturb their neighbours. (Swiss resident here, and they're often more uptight about these things than the Germans).
Load More Replies...I actually have a neighbor just above me that walks around (barefoot?) and really puts her heels into every step. It's so loud and she does it all day/night. I've just written a letter to her to ask her to stop.
Maybe some brochures about joint replacement will get her rethinking how hard she hits the ground when she walks.
Load More Replies...I'm German and don't really give a fück about Ruhezeit, but if my downstairs neighbor informed me that I'm walking really loud and it's annoying I would absolutely buy some shoes like Crocs for indoors. It seems like the nice thing to do. Just like listening to music with headphones if I like it louder or being quiet in the common areas like stairwells.
Just to avoid misunderstandings: I would never write a letter like this one and I have never bothered my neighbors with BS like that, but I just don't see a problem in wearing Crocs or something similar at home.
Load More Replies...But… It Is…
Even if EV, maybe they weren't charging, which is why the writer thought it wasn't electric. And that begs the question, why take the spot if you don't need to charge?
Because all the other places were full, and the owner of the EV was legally entitled to use EV spaces, so they did.

This Note In The Window Of A DQ Here In Eastern KY
Wow, yeah, the government stimulus packages (of which none are even enough to cover an average month's rental cost) are TOTALLY the reason why "no one" wants to work in customer service/fast food/retail any more. Yep. Totally. The government.
Especially if you didn't receive any of them. I was separated from my ex (legal separation papers issued, as well). He even moved out of state while I remained in the home. Guess where my stimulus was mailed to? When I finally spoke to someone about it I was told they were sent to him as he was the head of household. I don't know who deemed him head of household, especially since one of the many reasons I threw him out was due to him being to sorry to get out of bed much less work a job and I paid all rent, utilities, car payments (also everything was in my name, including 3 vehicles), and everything else that requires money. I was also told by the agent I spoke with that I should contact ex and ask him to send my "part" of the stimulus. He received 3 checks, in my name, cashed checks, and nobody did anything about it. I tried for over a year to get something done. My blood still boils when I hear people talking about stimulus packages!
Load More Replies...I'll bet the business owner got their hands on the maximum amount of money allowed by the stimulus bill.
Our corporate owners sure did. They are uber rich investors. Some of it was later paid as a bonus to employees, but I'll bet it was nothing like what they collected.
Load More Replies...i would walk in, ask for the manager, ask if the put up that sign, and tell them THEY are the reason people dont wanna work there.
People are STILL floating this 'nobody wants to work anymore' B.S... Makes me sick.
Nobody wants to work really hard for $7/hr before they go to their second job that pays the same. I know housing has tripled and wages haven't moved... it's cuz you're lazy. 😒
Thanks to how rude and mean customers are becoming is why no one wants to work in food service anymore.
Would never visit this establishment ever! Then the owner won't have to worry about be short staffed anymore
I'd actually report this note to DQ corporate. They used the DQ logo while making a political statement. Which implies it is DQ HQ's opinion, even if it's not. Fairly sure a nationwide company like DQ treads more lightly about their political opinions and doesn't want franchise owners putting words in their mouths. (Unless I missed a memo that DQ has gone the way of Hobby Lobby.)
Thanks to corporate America getting fat on dead end jobs, folks wised up so effoff dairy queen. Your stuff sucks anyway
Found This Note Taped To Our Door After A Dog In The Complex Barked All Morning. We Don’t Own A Dog And We Were At Home All Day
A friend had a neighbor making calls about nuisance noise. Here the one that is too loud has to pay 300€. The first time she did have guests and the guard wrote her a ticket, even though they admitted that they didn't hear the guests being too loud. Then there were several calls from the same neighbor and the guards wrote no tickets since they found no disturbance. The last time they called her on the phone and found that she was not at home. From that point, the neighbor had to pay for the tickets. Sadly it turned out that he had undiagnosed schizophrenia. The sounds were real, but only to him.
Right idea, wrong door. I agree with the note. Dogs are maddening. My neighbor has four German Shepards and guess what I hear all day and night.
I got the same but in person. I said my two Guinea pigs And a hamster surely dont bark, neither do I
My old neighbours used to complain about my dogs. Once caught me coming home after a long day out to tell me my dogs had been barking all day. Pulled out photos of the dogs enjoying the day with us. Complaints stopped.
Something similar happened to me. I was in my early 20s and lived alone above a woman in her mid 40s and below a couple in their 30s. The couple used to get visits almost all weekends, partying until 3/4 am. Playing loud music, bongos, the whole nine yards. She ringed my bell once on a Sunday morning with a bag full of cigarettes buts and berated me for "smoking and throwing it out the window", I got the full "I'm an attorney and I will make your life hell, and etc etc". I politely replied "I don't even smoke", and again with the shouting and whatnot. Tried to remain calm and I told her "don't you think Is more probable that they came for the neighbors above me, I'm sure you heard the party last night..." More shouting and saying that I'm a liar and how is it possible the cigarettes buts ended up there, and again the "I'm a layer, bla bla bla". Final response "Once again, as I told yo before I DON'T SMOKE, and did you hear about smt called GRAVITY??" and closed the door in her face
Team Note Writer, man. Yeah, wrong door, but that's a forgivable mistake. Dog owners who let their dogs just bark, bark, bark all day long are the absolute worst.
Got This Note From A Concerned Citizen. I Have An Electric Car And It Has “Dog Mode” Which Means It Uses Electricity To Keep The AC Running So My Groceries Don’t Overheat While I Made A Quick Stop In Another Store… there Were Only Gas Guzzlers Parked Next To Me
That would be a Tesla, I believe. I read thst dome dude asked Elon Musk on twitter for a dog mode and it was really implemented later. There is even a text on the screen stating the current temperature in the car, so that people don't smash the windows.
Load More Replies...Did anyone else read "world" as "wovid" and wonder if it was a new strain of corona virus, or am I just insane?
Me running my car (remote start) to defrost in the winter is not doing as much damage to the climate as the celebrities flying private jets to what would be a 30 minute drive.
Dog mode? How nice of a car do i need for that. Remote start and dog mode are the only extras i want.
Note writer probably can't recognize an electric car. (Come to think of it, neither can I.)
Both are right, and both are wrong. The mining and oil industries love both of you. The law is the law. The main thing I was bothered by is that this was written on stationary with a rainbow, clouds, and stars. Are they carrying this already? This handwriting makes me feel it's a small 'woke' child, walking home after learning about multiplication or some s*** , just full of rage, targeting adults over parking laws. That is a dangerous child. Haha
Received In The Mail From A Concerned Neighbor
But not concerned enough to offer to mow it themselves. Interesting 🤔
Load More Replies...well to be fair. i have lived next to "that guy" and yeah when they don;t mow until it's knee high and then usually they will just leave the clippings in giant clumps all over the place to turn brown, it's really bad.
I live next door to them now and it's annoying as heck but I wouldn't write such a sarcastic letter.
Load More Replies...I'm all for letting yards get ugly, but it sounds like their neighbor is letting it get out of hand if they're not even mowing it monthly. That can be an issue with vermin, which really does affect everybody in the area. The neighborhood really should get together and make sure the person is even capable of taking care of the lawn themselves. Maybe they have a medical issue and need help. Sounds a lot more productive than being passive aggressive about it, at least.
In my city, if you don't mow your lawn, the city will mow it for you - at an unbelievably high rate.
Well maybe you should mow your yard more often. If you're mowing less than every other week, it probably looks pretty crappy by the time you get around to it.
As long as the person isn't elderly or literally unable to, then I don't think this is a horrible request. Our neighbors play a role in the value of our home and I'd be annoyed if I'm taking pride in the upkeep of my house and here is my neighbor with a house that looks like it's the cover of a horror movie.
Someone has a lot of time on their hands to be so occupied with this nothing
Maybe the guy could use more cash? Gas is expensive. Maybe a lack of free time? boss won't give him the time. Maybe he's got issues? No time to help him self. Many things that can go wrong. Maybe the neighbour could offer a helping hand but not hand out. Better then complaining.
This! Not everything is laziness, life can be alot sometimes

Eh....this isn't so bad....it's a request, not a demand. I'm guessing if the shopper had responded poorly to having their request rejected, it would have been included in the image.
This is pretty bad, actually. Even if you don't go drama when someone says can't afford it.

Someone’s Been Leaving Notes On My Car At Work, This Is The Most Recent And In Depth One Yet. Nope
Police. Now. And have the workplace check the cameras to try and see who's leaving the notes.
Load More Replies...Who am I? I'm m the one obsessed by you. Who am I? I'm the one who's never been laid. Who am I? I'm your stalker. Who am I? I'm the one you need a restraining order for.
Yeah.... you should see if there are any security cameras around. That has serious red flags all over the place. Be careful
"Who am I?" Just another reason women end up needing to carry pepper spray etc.?
I feel like the note was written by a woman. 🤷♀️
Load More Replies..."Who am I... I'm not going to tell you as I don't want a restraining order against me."
This is stalking, make a police report. They won't do anything at this point, but at least it will be on file. Request a meeting with security and HR, tell them that you have a stalker, and ask for the offender to be identified and security measures taken. This could be a random creepy a*****e, but could escalate into dangerous. You have the right to be, and feel, safe at work and going to and from your vehicle.
Message I Received When Attempting To Cancel My Gym Membership
Unless that information is written in the original contract in order to cancel, it's not legal. Just tell your bank that any payments to them are no longer authorized.
So I went to the Blink Fitness website and read their cancellation policy. In a nutshell if you have a month-to-month contract, you can cancel at any time for any reason. But, if you signed an annual contract, you're obligated for the duration of the year. HOWEVER, they will allow you to break the annual contract if a) your doctor orders it, b) you move somewhere they don't have a gym, or c) you die (no joke on this one.) TBH, I don't find this unreasonable, and it kinda throws the above in a different light. The poster signed a one-year contract, and want out of it. OK, Blink will let you out if you supply proof you met one of the three conditions. https://blinkfitness.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021474931
Load More Replies...I informed my gym that I would be moving to another time zone and they told me that they would continue to bill my bankcard monthly for the remainder of the year. I told them that since my bank was local and did not have any branches at my future destination, naturally I will be closing that account.
I tried getting out of one locally, and I needed medical proof or a relocation letter like the above. Infuriating.
My Friends Were Having A Discussion About Sororities And Frats At Breakfast Today. Apparently, Some Sorority Girls Were Eaves Dropping And Gave Us This Passive Aggressive Note Then Ran Off
I don't see how this is passive aggressive. It wasn't really their business to insert themselves in the conversation, but they seem to have done it in the most respectful way possible. They weren't confrontational, they didn't cause a scene, the note is polite and positive. I don't see the big problem here.
I heard so many conversations in my life. With lots of opinions contrasting my own experiences or my beliefs. And I never had the urge to write an anonymous letter in my life. Instead, this would have been an excellent opportunity for the sorority to open a little to the community and publicly share their activities. If they are concerned about their reputation, such note won't help.
Load More Replies...Ah yes, these wonderfully charitable, kind, virtuous sororities... I seem to recall a story about how all 20+ sororities at an Alabama college refused to accept a transgender woman. So charitable and inclusive.
Don't judge all Greek life based on some in Alabama.
Load More Replies...This is a note to challenge your predjudices. YTA for slagging people off behind their back.
This note is basically everything people hate about sorority/fraternity people in a nutshell. Including the lack of self-awareness at how arrogant and self-congratulatory they come off as to outsiders.
IMHO it is not normal to listen in on someone else’s conversation and then leave them a note telling them a lot of facts about you and your sorority that they are not interested in. The ‘have a great day’ and ‘god bless’ at the end do feel passive aggressive in this context when the person is obviously angry at what they overheard.
I know I'll get downvoted for this, but the OP comes across to me as the bad guy here, not the note-leaver. And there's a difference between eavesdropping and simply overhearing a conversation. Brava to this sorority and its members for their charitable activities. Message to the OP: 'Animal House' was not a documentary.
She said she’s blessed to have friends she bought. That’s not typically how blessings work but okay 😂
Once again, someone has confused their doing a good deed with being a good person
some of these made me want to rip my hair out. Especially that racist one about the Indian family. smh
I cannot abide anonymous notes. Got one from a neighbour once, demanding I stop using a specific parking space (not allocated to them, they just liked using it). It wasn’t signed, so I just knocked on doors until I found out who it was and politely declined. Sad thing was, they knew it was my car and could have just asked me to my face or popped a note through my door, in which case I probably would have said yes.
