Context is the true master of human action or reaction. There are always parameters and circumstances onto which our decisions are made and you'd be surprised how well that "rule" fits and far it actually goes. It could be something entirely minor or perhaps hugely important to a given situation. Revenge is itself a slave to the magic word of context, as is the word petty. Do you see where I'm going with this? Once context has done its job, like us, it sits back and laughs at lists like these, lists that in no particular order, show 30 examples of where pettiness is the ruler of all retaliatory emotion!

As we age, we slow down in general. Biologically and mentally, this is often the case and one especially perceived by the younger members of society and more specifically, the family unit. WRONGLY!

Customers can be total jerks. It's no secret, especially if you've worked in retail. Many of us reading this, and likely many other humans working away this very minute, will find some solace in the fact that it's not just us. In the age of commerce and capitalism we live in, it is required and a key job descriptor to interact with fellow humans are coming to you or your compy to take part in the great money-game to purchase goods or services. It is the way.
However, it isn't that simple. It is indeed the way, but it also not the whole way. Still with me? Customers are often not the most socially enlightened when it comes to etiquette and often behave in manners uncouth and down-right wrong towards waiters, bartenders, retail workers and many, many more. Sometimes though, people behave in such a way that some form of retaliation is inevitable and most of the time, it's very amusing. Case in point...

We've probably all had that job we wish we'd flounced out of in true style. The one we begrudgingly showed up for every day and did our time, secretly building up our private list of resentments against the boss from hell. Hopefully, for most of us, that doomsday scenario of a job is in the past, but I imagine most of us eventually left it by meekly saying it was time for pastures new and wishing that hated boss the best for the future. Sometimes it's just not worth burning those bridges.
But these 30 people weighed up all the evidence and decided not to keep their head down and play it safe but to go for the adrenaline rush of going out in a blaze of glory where they say the thing they always wanted to say in the most memorable way possible.

Spencer seems like a lot of fun. I hope he found a more fulfilling job after this.
[post_page_title]#27 Another Illuminated Sign[/post_page_title]
The use of the Douglas Adams quote is nice, though whether or not it has any relevance to the job in question isn't quite clear.

Maybe this was a cinema that paid its employees in fish for some reason? In which case, the perfect note on which to quit, really.
[post_page_title]#28 This Lovely Greeting Card Design[/post_page_title]
Ah, the old "It's not you, it's me" get-out. Always the easiest way to break something off. But sometimes it's nicer to just be honest.

The smiley face is cute, too. A lovely way to quit, overall.
[post_page_title]#29 This Bill[/post_page_title]
Whoa, Sally, whoa! Some very strong language on this one, and she seems to be taking out her frustrations on her customers and not her boss! Not cool, Sally!

Sally must have had a real nightmare boss to quit with so much anger. Let's hope she found somewhere nicer to work!
[post_page_title]#30 This Fire Exit Cake[/post_page_title]
Sometimes a picture says a thousand words, and the sight of this guy making his escape in cake form is better than any number of angry letters.

The icing looks tasty, as well.

Ah, dating. That nightmarish experience where we try as hard as possible to hide who we really are from someone in the hopes of coming across really cool and not seeming like a goofy idiot. Then one day you meet someone who, right from the off, makes you feel able to indulge in all your worst, stupidest, goofiest habits right from the off, even if it means staging ridiculous pranks that would annoy most people.
The best relationships start when you've finally found someone with the same sense of humor as you, who accepts you even when you're at your stupidest. These 30 boyfriends have staged ridiculous stunts that, yes, could be seen as irritating or attention-seeking or just plain dumb from a certain light, but also show that these must be some really fun relationships to be in!
[post_page_title]#1 This Bit Of Misdirected DIY[/post_page_title]
The girlfriend who took this picture was very excited at first because her boyfriend had said he was going to make a bed frame. She naturally assumed it was so they could sleep together in a handmade bed.

Turns out he just wanted the cat to have somewhere nice to lie down.
[post_page_title]#2 This Big Night In With The Dog[/post_page_title]
This guy was left looking after the dog for the weekend and told to send his girlfriend updates on how it was going. This was the first picture he sent.

I sure hope he allowed for at least an afternoon to tidy up before she got back. It looks like it was one hell of a party.
[post_page_title]#3 This Guy Photobombing His Own Wedding Photo[/post_page_title]
Wedding photos can be very formal, serious things, and that's understandable - a lot of money and planning goes into weddings, and you want the photos to be just right. This guy isn't bothered and has decided to just be himself.
[caption id="attachment_4582" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

Personally, I think all wedding photos should have this much silliness in them. I think this is great.
[post_page_title]#4 This Unusual Christmas Lights Display[/post_page_title]
This guy's wife had been getting upset that their house didn't look very festive and saying they should put some lights up. This is what he decided to install on the front of their house.

To be fair, it's hard to get around every single chimney in the world without stopping for a toilet break at some point.
[post_page_title]#5 This Inventive Use Of Candles[/post_page_title]
This guy obviously put so much time into making a tasty-looking birthday cake that he forgot to check if they had the right candles to mark his girlfriend's 39th birthday.
[caption id="attachment_4584" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

His quick-thinking maths is impressive, though, as he manages to find a solution just with what he has to hand.
[post_page_title]#6 This Baby's Facial Adornments[/post_page_title]
This guy was left in charge of the baby while his wife was away and was asked to send a picture of him to show he was ok.
[caption id="attachment_4585" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

The baby had finally fallen asleep by the time he took the picture, but he wanted to give an impression of what he'd been like up until that point.
[post_page_title]#7 This Tinder-Chat Blanket[/post_page_title]
This guy has come up with one of the most over-the-top, and one of the sweetest, anniversary presents ever. To celebrate one year of marriage to his wife, he gets their first-ever conversation on Tinder printed onto a big blanket.

There's just hope there's nothing too X-rated in there that any guests or visiting family members would object to seeing!
[post_page_title]#8 This Guy Posing With His Cat[/post_page_title]
This guy has such a close bond with his girlfriend's cat that they're able to mimic one another's expressions and do synchronized photoshoots together.
[caption id="attachment_4587" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

I just hope he's also this emotionally tuned-in to his girlfriend herself and not just to her cat.
[post_page_title]#9 This Car Seat Replacement[/post_page_title]
This guy had to drive his toddler to the babysitter's house, but he realized too late that his wife had left with the car seat. When she asked how he was going to resolve the problem, he sent her this...
[caption id="attachment_4588" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

And then turned his phone off for 4 hours. I hope she saw the funny side of it!
[post_page_title]#10 This Ill-Advised Gag[/post_page_title]
This is certainly a well-written gag and one you've got to appreciate once you get over how mean it is.

The best relationships are the ones where you know one another well enough to be this mean, I reckon.
[post_page_title]#11 This Dog Burial[/post_page_title]
This guy decided to take his girlfriend's dog to the beach for some quality time together and even went to the effort of sending her photos of all the fun they were having together.
[caption id="attachment_4590" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

My favorite thing about this is how utterly resigned to its fate the poor dog seems to be.
[post_page_title]#12 This Failed Family Photo[/post_page_title]
This guy was taking a family photo of his wife and daughters and told a naff "Dad Joke" to get them to smile, prompting these expressions...
[caption id="attachment_4591" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Obviously, some of his family appreciate his sense of humor more than others!
[post_page_title]#13 This Toast Origami[/post_page_title]
When you're sick, the one thing you want is for someone to just kindly go and fetch you what you want. Even better if they do it and incorporate a high-effort, low-return pun into the proceedings too.

I'm having trouble working out how those pieces combine to form a whole slice. There are some extra bits unaccounted for, right? Or is it just me?
[post_page_title]#14 This List Of Reasons For Crying[/post_page_title]
Some people are just very tuned into their emotions, and it doesn't take much to set them off. This guy decided to keep a record of everything that made his girlfriend cry, and it's quite the read.
[caption id="attachment_4593" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

I'm with her on the videos of dogs thing, to be honest. I'm in bits if I even see a dog. Lovely things.
[post_page_title]#15 This Age-Appropriate Game Of Risk[/post_page_title]
This guy was left alone with the kids for the first time and was asked by his wife to send a picture of them to show how they were doing. This is what he sent...

Looks like all four teams have fairly equal control of the board at the moment, so the babies are doing very well for their first game.
[post_page_title]#16 This Guy Trying To Get Out Of Shopping[/post_page_title]
Everyone's ended up having to tag along on an unwanted shopping trip at some point, whether with a parent or a partner or whatever. Not everyone has found it so terrible that they've had to resort to outside help to get out of it like this guy, though.
[caption id="attachment_4595" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

I wonder if he got picked up by anyone and hitch-hiked his way out of there?
[post_page_title]#17 This Incredible Christmas Outfit[/post_page_title]
This guy was told by his wife to dress up for a professional family Christmas photo shoot. I imagine she was thinking of a general smart-casual vibe with perhaps a festive twist. He was thinking of this...
[caption id="attachment_4596" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
Credit - Reddit @Darzin[/caption]
It's a strong look, but hey, if you can't wear it for a professional Christmas photoshoot, there's literally no time you can ever wear it, so good on him.
[post_page_title]#18 This Gender Reveal Cake[/post_page_title]
Gender reveal parties are an odd recent fad, but the dad-to-be who went and got this cake made at least seems to understand that they're inherently a bit silly and has certainly gone with that vibe for the message.
[caption id="attachment_4597" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

I wonder if there were any more elderly relatives here to celebrate the imminent arrival of their grandchildren who found this less funny than others?
[post_page_title]#19 These Herb Puns[/post_page_title]
This guy decided to be helpful by labeling some of his wife's herbs. But rather than give in to boring tradition by just labeling them with their names, he's decided to incorporate some excellent puns.

I'm sure he mint no harm by it.
[post_page_title]#20 This Tree Topper[/post_page_title]
This guy's fiancee was worried their Christmas tree was a bit too serious and drab and told him to find a more fun, festive tree topper to take the edge off. This is what he came up with.
[caption id="attachment_4599" align="aligncenter" width="600"]

A total failure, as far as I'm concerned. This bit of King Kong is very dramatic and emotional and not funny or silly at all. What was he thinking?
[post_page_title]#21 This Goat-in-the-Bed[/post_page_title]
This picture was taken by a woman who was woken by her husband late at night texting her and saying: "Wake up or I'm bringing the goats inside!" She ignored the text and went back to sleep and then was woken by this...

There must be more context to this story that explains it. They must have had a pet goat in the garden, right? Surely. Or did the husband steal a goat? It's an odd one, this.
[post_page_title]#22 This Letter From Santa[/post_page_title]
This dad was charged with writing the letter from Santa that the kids would discover on Christmas morning but realized halfway through that there's not much point in him writing anything that specific.

[post_page_title]#23 This Sabotaged Anniversary Message[/post_page_title]
This guy's wife put the message "We Still Do" on this board to celebrate their 13-year anniversary, and posted a picture of it to Instagram before noticing that he'd added an extra word while she wasn't looking.

I hope it was a good long time before she noticed and that this picture was out there on Instagram causing maximum mischief before she realized.
[post_page_title]#24 These Stockings With Ulterior Motives[/post_page_title]
This husband, whose name is Ian, was very insistent that he and his wife's new puppy be given its own stocking on Christmas Day. She thought it was a very sweet idea, until she realized his actual reason for pushing for it.

This guy's girlfriend had recently had a bug problem in her apartment. One night, when they were drinking together, and she had got quite drunk, he decided to do this while she had gone to the toilet.

It's one of the most horrible things I've ever seen. I feel like someone needs to kill the poor thing to put it out of its misery.
[post_page_title]#30 This Photoshoot[/post_page_title]
This guy grew a mustache his girlfriend really hated and was told he had to shave it off. He did, but only after saying goodbye to it with a professional photo shoot with his dog.
[caption id="attachment_4609" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
Credit - Reddit @sapperdanman[/caption]
To be fair, in this context the mustache does look pretty good. But it's a fairly specific context, I suppose.
Ah, office life. It's one of the most monotonous existences on the planet. Within four walls, you and countless others are trapped in front of computer screens - the highlight of your day most likely being a trip to the communal kitchen to have a slice of Andy from IT's birthday cake. This often results in passive-aggressive notes. Whether they're telling off a colleague for failing to flush (yeah, that happened in my office) or simply threatening war if someone dares steal one of your all-important energy drinks from the refrigerator. So to celebrate them for what they are, which is often hilarious, here are 30 of the most passive-aggressive office notes the internet has to offer.
[post_page_title]The Date[/post_page_title]
Now, while it's often said that you should never sh*t where you eat, office romances and flings are all part of the course of large numbers of people spending a lot of time together. But not all office dates are necessarily romantic... No one wants to eat an out of date can of food. But this office worker took this note as an opportunity to reveal that they were "Forever in the friend zone." #TinyVolin

[post_page_title]Printer Problems[/post_page_title]
Life in an office can be soul-destroying at the best of times, so when a vital piece of equipment like a printer stops working, rage levels can be higher than normal. It's the worst kind of jamming. Hence this hilariously passive-aggressive note. Come on! Sing with me. "Don't worry... bout da ink... cuz everything you print... gonna turn out white." This gem was captioned: "Found this at work today."
[caption id="attachment_4034" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]Sensitive Workers[/post_page_title]
In offices, people are often underpaid, and when they are offered pittances of pay rises, or see other workers getting promoted ahead of them, it can make them more sensitive than most to the little things. Clearly, these guys had decided that enough was enough, and whoever was subject to their rage posted this passive-aggressive note. It was captioned: "Walked past the It office door and noticed a new sign."
[caption id="attachment_4035" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]The Trend[/post_page_title]
Anyone who has ever had their lunch eaten by a coworker knows how devastating it is, especially when it's the end of the month and money to buy a replacement is tight, which is why many office workers resort to labeling their food. But this practice doesn't necessarily go down well with everyone, hence this extremely passive-aggressive meme about Kevin the sandwich.
[caption id="attachment_4036" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]Comic Sans[/post_page_title]
Now, I don't know about you, but when I learned how to use a computer in the early noughties, the font of choice for just about everyone was Comic Sans. But these days, it's mostly associated with primary schools, hence this note... "Please don't use Comic Sans - we are a Fortune 500 Company, not a Lemonade Stand." Well, like I said, in office environments, even the smallest of things can drive people crazy.
[caption id="attachment_4037" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]Flush Gate[/post_page_title]
Shortly after I began my current job, a company-wide message was sent after someone dropped off a giant steaming turd in the ladies and didn't flush. The person who sent it told them to flush, and needless to say, not a single woman stood up. Yikes! Clearly, however, such a passive-aggressive message merited an even more passive-aggressive response in this office.
[caption id="attachment_4038" align="aligncenter" width="796"]

[post_page_title]DON'T TOUCH MY MUG[/post_page_title]
Aside from discovering an unwelcome and most likely smelly present in the office bathroom, another problem faced by workers is discovering that there are no mugs left in the kitchen, which is what resulted in this hilarious exchange. To be fair to this guy, he probably just wanted to guarantee his morning coffee, and I can't blame him for that.
[caption id="attachment_4039" align="aligncenter" width="796"]

[post_page_title]Making Your Own Fun[/post_page_title]
Because office life can be so monotonous, sometimes workers take just about any opportunity to make their days a little brighter. Like by leaving a paper trail for their coworker who was nowhere to be found... This hilarious series of notes was captioned: "Leave the office For 10 mins." It's a good thing that this person was only gone for 10 minutes because their coworkers seem needy AF.

[post_page_title]The Philosopher[/post_page_title]
Sometimes, when you're stuck in an office, you can't help but think about the bigger things. Will this be your life forever? Doomed to stare out into the windows of other offices and wondering if their occupants are just as miserable as you are? Well, it turns out that even if you reach depressing conclusions, it doesn't really matter, because as this printer note says, in the grand scheme of things, everything is temporary. This picture was captioned: "The office philosopher."
[caption id="attachment_4042" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit / potato99[/caption]
[post_page_title]The Pen[/post_page_title]
Whoever invented company-wide emails probably regrets it by now because sometimes, when a worker thinks "enough is enough", they can be a little too trigger happy and email dozens of people about the most innocuous things... like a missing pen. This picture was captioned: "An email went out around the office about a lost pen. This appeared in the break room the next day."
[caption id="attachment_4043" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

[post_page_title]The Dishes[/post_page_title]
It's only common courtesy that you clean up after yourself - even if your office has a cleaner. Personally, I think it's only right that the cleaner and the CEO are treated with the same amount of respect. So this is a passive-aggressive note that I completely stan. This picture, which hilariously frames reality, was captioned: "They just don't."
[caption id="attachment_4044" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Imgur / unknown[/caption]
[post_page_title]This Is Glorious[/post_page_title]
It only stands to reason that the lower the maintenance costs of the office, the more money there will be for employees - even if it's for something as simple as allowing them an extra drink at the Christmas party, so I am in favor of this note. But I'm also in favor of the hilarious sticky note conversation which took place below it. This picture was captioned: "New rules for posting notices in the office."
[caption id="attachment_4045" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit / mafafu[/caption]
[post_page_title]DEBBIE[/post_page_title]
Sometimes when there is a notorious office theif, extreme action needs to be taken to stop them in their tracks. Like, for example, labeling every lunch to let Debbie know that none of them belong to her. This picture was captioned: "Apparently Debbie has a bit of bad reputation around the office refrigerator". No sh*t, Sherlock!

[post_page_title]Sarcasm[/post_page_title]
As we've learned by now, when you have to spend a sizable portion of the week in an environment you most likely don't like around people who you probably aren't a fan of either, you'll do anything to pass the time. Even if that means chuckling at your own sarcasm. Clearly, somebody couldn't help themselves. This picture was captioned: "Sacarsm at the office."

[post_page_title]Dave's Drinks[/post_page_title]
Clearly, offices are home to many fridge wars, and Dave came up with a hilariously innovative solution to let his colleagues know exactly which refreshments were his. This picture was captioned: "I Don't Know Why I Can't Stop Laughing At This." Let's just hope that there wasn't an intern in the office called Dave that day, or else there would have been Hell to pay.

[post_page_title]A Brazen Thief[/post_page_title]
Now, while I'm no thief (seriously, I once accidentally forgot to pay for a piece of bubblegum in the 90s and returned it to the store later that day), I imagine that one of the first rules would be, y'know, not getting caught. Although, admittedly, this person's makeshift replacement is pretty hilarious. This picture was sarcastically captioned: "I believe we have an office thief, damn."

[post_page_title]Mr. Cricket's Funeral[/post_page_title]
One of my standout memories from high school was when my history class bizarrely decided to hold a funeral for a bee that had terrorized us - a bee we fondly named Jimbob (posthumously), and it turns out this office held a similar ceremony... This hilarious scene was captioned: "Housekeeping at my friend's office missed a dead cricket. It has since snowballed into a full-on memorial."

[post_page_title]Don't spoil the milk[/post_page_title]
Until I worked in an office, I'd never experienced the disgusting horror of drinking expired milk. Imagine: you are tired, bleary-eyed, and after taking your first sip of coffee, you notice that something is up, only to discover what resembles cheese flakes floating around it. The horror! This amusing way of trying to solve this extremely infuriating problem was captioned: "Spoiled milk, spotted in my office."

[post_page_title]A Glorious Troll[/post_page_title]
While trolls are problematic most of the time, sometimes, they can be hilarious. Either because they are messing with known bad guys, or simply making a dull office environment more entertaining. Case in point... "I am alarmed." Yes, door. You are, indeed. Cute eyes by the way. This picture was captioned: "Possible troll in the office?"

[post_page_title]Hey, Steve![/post_page_title]
The great thing about language is that, depending on the context, some words have multiple meanings, which is the perfect opportunity for inventive humor, as this office worker gloriously demonstrated. This picture was captioned: "Please do not print large Jobs. Or, by all means, please do!"

[post_page_title]These post-it notes[/post_page_title]
If we've learned one thing from this list, it's this: the cardinal office sin is stealing a coworker's food, but despite this, it seems to be a problem the world over. This picture calling out multiple office fridge thefts was captioned: "The office fridge today." Now, if I worked here, I reckon I'd be asking HR to stage an intervention!

[post_page_title]This historical device[/post_page_title]
Technology has changed astronomically in recent years, making office life, for most, a lot easier, which is why this phone, complete with a wire which would make its usage tricky, was subject to a hilarious passive-aggressive note.

[post_page_title]Jesus is watching you...[/post_page_title]
When there is a large number of drinks seemingly on offer in an office, the temptation can be overwhelming. After all, who will notice when one goes missing? Well, the answer is Jesus. The son of God will notice. "Jesus stood and sad in a loud voice, 'If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink." Well, clearly he's not watching these office workers in the way they expected...

Sometimes, passive-aggressive notes can borderline on aggressive and this is a prime example. The cheek! The boldness! AND THE KETCHUP! This picture was captioned: "This is what happens when people submit passive-aggressive office memos where I work."

While everyone should be open to criticism, some people take it a lot worse than others. In fact, they're willing to threaten death by bombing at the mere prospect of professional critique. This picture was captioned: "The first thing I noticed about my dad's office." This is definitely enough to put any sane prospective employee off working here!

Most offices have more than one lunch because people tend to take a break around the same time. Where I work, it's typically between 1 and 2pm. That's why it's a good shout to have more than one microwave - so people can eat! But not in this office, oh no. For some bizarre reason, despite having an electrical problem which prevents the use of more than one microwave at a time, they have two.

We've seen a lot of office theft on this list, but not so much when it comes to office laziness in the dishwashing department, so to emphasize that it too is an epidemic, here is another hilarious example in passive-aggressive note form. This picture was captioned: "Note About The Middle-Aged Man Named Brian." Yeah, Brian must have been pushed one dish too far to write this, that's all I'm saying.

And last, but most certainly not least, is this absolutely vile creator who decided to cut an office cake in the most awkward way possible just to annoy their coworkers. All I'm saying is that they better have had a good reason! This picture was captioned: "Walked Into The Office Kitchen To Find This." Okay, yes, you can do what you want in an office, but as this list proves, it will not be without consequence.
