What is the best way to get at your annoying office colleague? A passive-aggressive note, of course! After all, as anybody who's ever read Sun Tzu's The Art of War will know, the best way to deal with somebody stealing your sandwiches or leaving loaves of bread in the toilet (seriously) is to leave them a snarky and anonymous note expressing your displeasure. Problem solved...right? Well, not quite. Sparks turn into flames and notes turn into a war, with these passive-aggressive quotes.

Anyway, if you are looking for a spiteful way to stop the office food thief - here are some passive-aggressive examples for your disposal. Just be careful to find your match in this manner of solving a dispute - otherwise, you might be the one who got passive-aggressive'd.

So, as the famous war-cry goes - liberty or death! Good luck!

Starbucks know a thing or two about running a successful budiness. But making good coffee is not one of them. Or paying their staff properly.

.gas. oh, you're the same person who was leaving stupid comments on other posts too! geez, you would think that after getting so many downvotes you would stop posting these kinds of comments. obviously, people don't like it and it's not good to be putting negative things into the world. why hasn't bored panda deleted your comments? what is the limit for downvoted before it gets deleted?
