Passive-aggressive notes = lots of !, bad grammar

Hotpocket1shaggy

Apparently, there are still a few topics that blogging hasn't touched — until now.

Behold new blog passive-aggressive notes from roommates, neighbors, coworkers and strangers.

Nothing destroys precision grammar and correct usage like raw, unmitigated anger. (See the excessive use of capital letters, abundance of exclamation points, and lack of proper punctuation in above "Hot Pocket THIEF!" note.)

If you're a grammar nerd like me, you'll cringe as you read these. Then you'll laugh, because some of these notes are hilarious.

Ever received a passive-aggressive note and still have it? This blog takes submissions.

I wonder — will people start faking these notes just to get featured on this blog?
