Passive-aggressive notes = lots of !, bad grammar

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?

WishBoNe — That's the spirit! ;)

For a complete definition of "hot pocket", I defer to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Pocket

Hello and welcome!

My name is Kristin Gorski. I'm a doctoral candidate in instructional technology and media. My research focuses on technology and literacies, writing in digital spaces, and how media literacy may support academic literacy (among other incredibly interesting topics). On occasion, I’m also a freelance writer and editor. “Write now is good.” is my personal blog about writing, creativity and inspiration (with healthy doses of technology in relevant places). I started it in blogging's heyday (2006) and still post to it, time permitting.
