10+ Times people took passive-aggressive notes to new levels of pettiness

“Passive-aggressive” is a language that some people are great at speaking, while for others, it goes right over their head. It’s kind of like sarcasm. Not everyone is going to get it.

Even if you wouldn’t consider yourself a passive-aggressive person, it doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate a snarky suggestive sign posted by someone in their break room after one too many coworkers left garbage sitting on the counter.

Sending A Signal

Not only are they sending out their Wi-Fi signal, but they’re also signaling to their neighbors that they need to quiet their kids down.

The walls can be pretty thin in some buildings, and no one wants to hear someone else’s kids yelling.

Even priests have places to go and people to see besides you on a daily basis.

If you want to make a confession, you’ve got to keep it short and sweet! Other people have sins to confess, too.

Robbie’s wife has decided that if he’s going to continue to make a mess in the kitchen every time he wants a snack, he’s not going to get to use the kitchen.

Robbie has to follow the flow chart for her ruling before he makes any decisions.

If you break your phone, they’re going to fix it for you at a decent price, but they also reserve the right to make fun of you for it.

Don’t drop your phone if you don’t want to be mocked by signage.

Someone app developer at MyFitnessPal really decided that they would just attack any user who had been slacking on their calorie tracking.

This is probably how you end up getting your app deleted, but at least it’s entertaining.

Well, this is definitely one way to annoy half the men who come to the gym every day.

It’s probably also an effective way to motivate people to return their weights, even if they’re grumpy about it.

Passive-Aggressive Printer Wars

“Our boss [sent] out an email and asked us to put up a sign in order to be more cautious about printing in color.”

The rules clearly don’t apply to the boss, so they printed in color.

Just A Little Taste

If they were desperate enough for a snack that they needed to take a bite out of this slice, they should have taken the whole slice.

Now it’s just ruined for everyone.

The City Is Sick Of People Taking The Shortcut

Maybe whoever put up this sign should realize that if everyone is choosing to take a route other than the one that’s paved, it’s not a convenient route.

Just pave over this one and pretend it was there all along!

They Hear You. They Just Don’t Care

This airport is sick and tired of hearing passengers complain about the construction, so here’s their response.

You don’t need to tell them that it bothers you. It bothers them too.

This restaurant has made the decision for you that you can skip smoking for this meal, or you can go poison your lungs at the restaurant down the street.

It’s up to you!

“People know not to touch my mug,” but then they also proceed to tell everyone exactly what mug they don’t want you to touch.

You’re basically asking for your coworkers to do exactly this.
