An angry neighbor decided to take matters into their own hands after a couple were getting a little too loud while enjoying each other's company.
On Thursday, a photograph of a brutal letter was posted to the Australian Facebook group called Bondi Local Loop.
The handwritten note was found attached to the community notice board in an apartment block in Sydney and urged neighbors to be more considerate when they were getting intimate with their partners as one resident was clearly done with hearing all the noise.
"When you have sex, keep the noice [sic] down," the note started. "We hear you and the neighbour buildings."
At the bottom of the note, the words "Sex in building" were randomly plastered there too.

Of course, social media users were left amused by the note - I mean, how could you not be?
"We used to clap & cheer our old neighbours across the fence after we’d hear her screaming for dear life in those last two minutes," wrote one user. "They ended up selling house very quickly."
"Just go next door and ask if you can join in," another suggested.
A third also added that a note was not the best approach to tackle this issue and instead offered them some more tactical advice.
"[Its] much better to politely ask them if they can take a bit longer at the end and make a bit more noise while doing so as you usually don’t have time to finish yourself off before it’s over. Guaranteed to shut them up!"

This user also thought the same thing, writing: "Easiest way would be write a letter saying how you enjoy the noises during, and they'd calm down fast I think."
Another also offered their wisdom, but again, it would probably just be a temporary fix to the problem.
"My suggestion is for you to buy some ear muffs," they said.

Some users however, turned their attention to the grammar and spelling of the note, poking fun at the neighbor that wrote it.
"If the noise isn’t nice, it’s noice," joked one user while another added that while the grammar gave them anxiety, the note was still "hilarious."

I mean, I'm not sure if the culprits will be taking this note on board, but it was worth a shot, right?
A woman has gone viral after sharing a note that was thrown over her fence by an angry neighbor over her bedroom antics.
TikTok user Amber Odon - who goes by the handle @ambs.odon - posted a video explaining her horror after discovering the handwritten note, declaring that she could "never leave [her] house again".
Amber revealed the scrawled message on the social media platform, with many other TikTok users finding her unfortunate situation rather hysterical.
"Just found this note thrown over my fence," she explained in her video, with an overlay text that read: "It’s official, I can never leave my house again."
Watch Odon's video below:
The British content creator held the crumpled piece of paper to the camera for everyone to see.
"If [you're] going to have animal sex during the middle of the day, please close your bloody windows," the note read.
The irritated neighbor then signed off their angry letter with: "Ta" - which Amber clearly found hilarious as she captioned the video with: "It's the 'ta' for me".
As of this writing, the video amassed 1.1 million views and 38.1K likes, and while many found Amber’s plight highly amusing, some users came to her defense.
One user wrote: "Orrrr do what you want in your own house."
Another commented: "why [are] they peeping through your windows for? must be [jealous]."
A third chimed in and said: "Only one thing for it, do it every day from now on until they move house."

Other people on the social media platform pointed out the neighbor's spelling mistake and suggested to Amber that she should take petty revenge on the person by pointing out the error.
One user wrote: "Throw a note back with '*you’re' on it."
Another: "Correct the 'your to you’re', and request they resubmit."

Meanwhile, some users were inspired by Amber's video and commented to share their own stories of being busted in the act.
One user revealed: "My neighbor called police on us once. It was so embarrassing, they thought that I’m being murdered because of how I screamed."
Another user hilariously wrote: "OMG. I was screaming once and after heard my neighbor cough. I was dead embarrassed."

So what do you guys think about Amber's video? Is the neighbor right or wrong for her letter of complaint? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
A mother has shared her anger after her neighbors sent her an aggressive note on the day of her daughter's funeral.
The grieving mother in Eagleby, a suburb of Logan in Queensland, Australia, has ignited a heated discussion on neighborly behavior after receiving a series of abusive notes from an anonymous neighbor about her dog.
The Logan resident, who had just returned from her daughter’s funeral, found a handwritten note at her front door that caused her significant distress.

The aggressive note read: “Shut your f***in dog up, you f***head.”
She chose to ignore the note, pointing out that she was not the only resident with a guard dog.
She added that there were ten other barking dogs in the surrounding properties, making just as much noise as hers.
However, less than a year later, while going through the grief of returning from her brother's funeral, she found a second note.
“Both notes were within 12 months of each other,” she told The Courier Mail.
Recently, she discovered a third note. Although the notes were anonymous, the Queensland mom is convinced they were all written by the same person.
The neighbor was clearly unhappy. Credit: RapidEye/Getty
“I know it is the same neighbor, as it has the same handwriting as the other two notes,” she said.
Frustrated and angry, she took to social media to express her thoughts. “I will not shut up my guard dog, get over it,” she posted, cited by Kidspot. “I deal with barking dogs [in the street] too.”
The post sparked a mixed reaction online. Some people suggested that the disgruntled neighbor could be “shift workers trying to sleep.” However, the Logan mother countered this by saying she is also “a shift worker who starts at various times of the day and night.”
Addressing the note's author directly, she added: “Have the guts to come and see us when both cars are parked out the front.”
While some online commenters sympathized with her plight, others believed the neighbor’s complaint could have been handled more appropriately.
The comments stated that while a barking dog can be annoying, there are better ways to go about complaining rather than an aggressive note.

Going and having a friendly chat would presumably be the best way.
According to the Logan City Council, dogs barking for six minutes in an hour or for three minutes in half an hour between 7:00AM and 10:00PM constitute "excessive barking."
The council advises residents unhappy with a dog's barking levels to speak to the dog’s owner first.
A woman has been left mortified after her neighbors sent her a letter asking her to keep it down in the bedroom.
TikTok user Kimmi Kaiy claimed she was so humiliated she needed to "move house" after receiving the handwritten note through her letterbox.
Kaiy - who is also an OnlyFans content creator - took to social media to share the embarrassing letter.
In a clip, she first shows followers a picture of her own stunned face, followed by a view of the letter which is written on a torn piece of paper.
"To the woman who has extremely loud orgasms," it begins, adding: "Whilst we are very happy for you, could you please close your window and maybe consider your neighbors."
Kaiy added text over the video saying: "I need to move house. This was posted through my door." She also made it clear just how mortified she was by setting the clip to an audio of the words: "Can you please bring in some bleach so I can kill myself?"
While it might have been an awkward situation for Kaiy, it's fair to say people on TikTok found the letter absolutely hilarious. The video has quickly racked up over 14,000 views and hundreds of comments from shocked followers.
"Legendary," one person wrote, while another cheered Kaiy on: "This is priceless!! Go girl!!"
Countless more responded with laughing emojis to the hilarious story.

Meanwhile, some people shared their own experiences of neighbors moaning about the noise from their bedrooms.
"I actually had a property manager contact me because of neighbors complaining. They were more embarrassed than me," one shared. Another revealed: "My ex and I got a letter like this once."
Other viewers were of the opinion that the only reason Kaiy's neighbors were complaining was that they couldn't stand to hear someone else having more fun than they were.

"I think you have jealous neighbors," one person commented, while another agreed: "Jealous people, not getting any. Keep it up," and a third chimed in: "They're just jealous."

Roommates. You can't live with them, but you can definitely live without them. Unless you're single and trying to pay rent in a major city that is experiencing a housing crisis. Then you sort of have to put up with roommates. We've all been there and have the war stories to prove it. The saying is true, you don't really know someone until you live with them, and we all end up experiencing this when it comes to having roommates.
Nothing is worse than signing a lease with someone you thought was super chill and friendly, only to find out after you've moved in that they're actually really territorial and passive-aggressive and act as though you're their subtenant rather than an equal member of the household. It makes for a very long and uncomfortable lease experience. So, let's take a look at 30 of the most passive-aggressive messages left by roommates. Hopefully, they'll make you laugh rather than trigger your roommate PTSD...
[post_page_title]#1 I Have a Dream[/post_page_title]
Okay, yes, this is quite the passive-aggressive note. But at the same time, you have to hand it to this person for adding creativity to their passive-aggressiveness.

Many other Redditors seemed to find this one hilarious. No one likes a dirty sink, so hopefully the roommate on the receiving end of this found the humor in it, rather than the malice.
[post_page_title]#2 The Latest Happening[/post_page_title]
Sometimes, certain living situation topics require a little bit of delicacy when discussing so as not to get tempers flaring and that delicacy can come in the form of a cartoon.
[caption id="attachment_4098" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Honestly, if I were in this situation I wouldn't know how to address it, so a cartoon doodle of the situation is as good as any. This is also why I'm so thankful that I now live alone.
[post_page_title]#3 Romantic Surprise[/post_page_title]
Imagine coming home after a day at work to find this in your room. This is probably the most romantic way of telling someone they owe you half of the rent for the month.
[caption id="attachment_4100" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

And they say romance is dead. I say otherwise. But seriously, I'm so glad that I don't have roommates anymore.
[post_page_title]#4 Always Knock[/post_page_title]
As this Redditor explained with their post, "My roommate put this on our shower door, after being yelled at for not locking it." So, what was the roommate's passive-aggressive response? This lovely little sign.
[caption id="attachment_4103" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

At least he had the decency to make it rhyme. It's like a poem. And everyone loves poetry, right?
[post_page_title]#5 Do Me Gary![/post_page_title]
In every roommate relationship, there is always one person who ends up doing more dishes than the other. This either stems from a type-A personality on behalf of one roommate, pure laziness on behalf of the other, or something in the middle of the two. Either way, it can get very frustrating for the person who is doing all the dishwashing because, well, in the words of Jennifer Lopez, "I ain't your mama."
[caption id="attachment_4105" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit[/caption]
This roommate clearly had enough of Gary not pulling his weight in the dish department so they came up with the clever, albeit passive-aggressive way of telling him that it's time to wash some dirty dishes.
[post_page_title]#6 What Even is This?[/post_page_title]
I'm all for cleaning up after yourself in the bathroom. It's a communal space. I'm also all for dividing up turns for each person to deep clean the bathroom as well. But this flow chart written by a roommate is just a bit much.
[caption id="attachment_4106" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/profbalto[/caption]
A simple, "Hey would everyone please remember to clean up after yourself in the bathroom!" text to the group chat would suffice. Creating a complicated flow chart was probably a little too much effort for this passive-aggressive message.
[post_page_title]#7 Not Worth the Risk[/post_page_title]
When living with roommates, you quickly find out what their toilet paper preference is. You also find out whether or not they're considerate enough to change the toilet paper or if they're those monsters that just leave an empty roll for you to deal with.
[caption id="attachment_4109" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

This one person got outdone in the passive-aggressive department after they left this note for their roommate, who then turned around and just won the argument.
[post_page_title]#8 The Start of World War Three[/post_page_title]
Roommates helping themselves to your food is, unfortunately, a risk when you live with people. I understand the frustration, but this note is going way too far. It's not even passive-aggressive, it's just plain aggression.
[caption id="attachment_4113" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/TheSnowBunny[/caption]
Clearly, this is a dysfunctional roommate situation all around, and after this note, I don't see these people remaining friends or roommates any longer. Also, question, where did Susie manage to get that much cat pee?
[post_page_title]#9 The Professor[/post_page_title]
Being reminded to do things by a roommate can be a bit annoying, especially if you actually do your half of the chores. So I understand this guy's attempt at being passive-aggressive so as to get his roommate to back off.
[caption id="attachment_4116" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Also, who else noticed that "Thursday" wasn't capitalized? Was it just me?
[post_page_title]#10 Called Out[/post_page_title]
Roommates and food theft. They're almost synonymous with sharing a communal space with someone.
[caption id="attachment_4117" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/anthonycolello01360[/caption]
And this roommate decided that they were going to call out the thievery in a classically passive-aggressive way. But, at the same time, what kind of bonehead steals their roommate's food then logs it?
[post_page_title]#11 Not Even the Roommate's Doing[/post_page_title]
Dealing with roommates is one thing, having to deal with the significant others of a roommate? That's a whole other kind of annoying.
[caption id="attachment_4118" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

As this Redditor said, "I live with three other guys and this is what my girlfriend left on our dryer." Hopefully, the other roommates appreciate the concern and the fantastic drawing.
[post_page_title]#12 Subtle Reminders[/post_page_title]
When I was living with roommates, I always had the utility bills come in my name. I wanted to make sure they were always paid on time and no one ever tried to do something sneaky. It also meant that I was usually chasing down three bills worth of money at any given moment because, well, roommates.
[caption id="attachment_4123" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/Pkfighter7942[/caption]
This guy was pretty clever in his passive-aggressive manner of reminding his roommates that they own him for the utilities. I wish I'd had the balls to do something like this. It may have saved me a small fortune.
[post_page_title]#13 This "Clean" Sink[/post_page_title]
Keeping a clean sink when you have roommates is virtually impossible. There will always be something in the sink no matter how hard you try.
[caption id="attachment_4125" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/oskarslidums[/caption]
And this roommate tried very hard to hide the fact that they left their dishes in the sink. That is a lot of effort for one item that could easily have been washed and put away.
[post_page_title]#14 Roommate Shaming[/post_page_title]
Living with people gives you quite the insight into who they are after a night of drinking. Sometimes, it's not always fun.
[caption id="attachment_4127" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Also, these people are so lucky that the pizza didn't cause a fire because that could have ended quite badly.
[post_page_title]#15 Dishes for Dummies[/post_page_title]
It's incredible what a little knowledge of Photoshop can do for your passive-aggressive campaign against your roommates.
[caption id="attachment_4128" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/sandman14732[/caption]
This Redditor was quite pleased with their handiwork and wrote, "Quick bit of passive-aggressive photoshop I threw together tonight for my housemates." Texting the group chat would've probably saved them time.
[post_page_title]#16 Welcome Home[/post_page_title]
Having roommates' significant others almost always creates a power struggle as the couple usually feels they have strength in numbers and can rule the roost.
[caption id="attachment_4129" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/largerthanlogic[/caption]
Clearly, this person's roommate decided to assert her dominance and let the significant other know that they're not really welcome. This is more blunt than passive-aggressive.
[post_page_title]#17 Let's Play a Game[/post_page_title]
Clean dishes and fresh toilet paper - most of the passive-aggressive roommate wars that rage at any given moment usually revolve around these two issues.
[caption id="attachment_4130" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/goingTofu[/caption]
As this passive-aggressive Redditor shared about their roommate situation, "Roommate rarely contributes, decided to keep my TP in my room and see how long this stays."
[post_page_title]#18 Well This Just Got Intense[/post_page_title]
From the looks of this note, it sounds like Sara might be living with a sociopath. I get the frustration of Sara not washing her dishes but this is really intense.
[caption id="attachment_4131" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit[/caption]
Not only is this roommate throwing out Sara's unwashed dishes, but then they decide to use Sara's clothing to mop up their blood? Going into Sara's room is very much crossing a line no matter how upset you are.
[post_page_title]#19 Just the Tip of the Iceberg[/post_page_title]
Can you imagine finding this note from your roommate? Talk about passive-aggressive.
[caption id="attachment_4132" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/passiveaggressivenotes[/caption]
There is no need for this, just tell them in the group chat to please pick up after they're finished in the kitchen. It's the less jerkish way of doing it.
[post_page_title]#20 Hot Wax[/post_page_title]
What do you get when you have a roommate with trust issues plus hot? The ultimate theft-proof seal.
[caption id="attachment_4133" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/RobH779[/caption]
I have to hand it to this passive-aggressive roommate. They definitely are not leaving anything to chance.
[post_page_title]#21 Got Milk?[/post_page_title]
I never, ever shared food items with roommates because I wanted to avoid the anxiety of always having to remember to replace them once we went through them. That is why I always bought my own bread, milk, and butter so that if I ran out, I only had to be annoyed with myself rather than have someone else be annoyed at me.
[caption id="attachment_4134" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/MisterSchaffner[/caption]
Clearly, this roommate will probably thing about getting his own milk after this rather than communal milk because as they wrote, "This is how my roommate tells me we need more milk." I couldn't take that level of passive-aggressive.
[post_page_title]#22 Stalemate[/post_page_title]
Two wrongs don't make a right. These two need to sort their issues out with an actual adult conversation rather than just leaving post-it notes.
[caption id="attachment_4135" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/para9[/caption]
Besides, the best way of dealing with this sort of roommate issue is communication. And no, writing notes doesn't count as good communication.
[post_page_title]#23 A Roommate's Valentine[/post_page_title]
Apparently, those little heart candies that are so popular at Valentine's Day also serve a secondary purpose. They can be used to try and get your roommate to do the dishes.
[caption id="attachment_4136" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/Jiminycricketmuncher[/caption]
While this is all quite passive-aggressive, it's creative. I will give that roommate six points for creativity.
[post_page_title]#24 There's No Limit to Personal Safety[/post_page_title]
This Redditor shared this little bit of creative passive aggression, writing, "Someone I'm my girlfriend's house keeps leaving the front door open. she asked me to write a passive-aggressive note." This one really bothers me, not because of the note, but because personal safety is not something to take lightly. I've listened to too many true crime podcasts to not lock my door because of three words: Richard Trenton Chase.
[caption id="attachment_4138" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Unfortunately, when you share a space with someone, they don't always think of these things. I wish I'd had this note when I woke up several times to find my roommates had left the apartment door unlocked overnight.
[post_page_title]#25 Art Critics[/post_page_title]
Sharing a space with roommates can be a bit tricky when it comes to decorating. While you're happy to share wall space, sometimes roommates can get territorial and only want their decorating touches going up around the apartment. That is why I am so thankful I live roommate-free now, so I can put up artwork without being subtly criticized for it.
[caption id="attachment_4139" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/candlejack303[/caption]
This Redditor seems to have a similar situation. They wrote: "My roommate says I have no taste in art. Let's see what she thinks of this." Well, guess that is one way to assert your right to put up pictures that you like. I wonder if the off-center picture is part of the passive aggression?
[post_page_title]#26 Hair Art[/post_page_title]
This Redditor wrote: "My roommate is always leaving passive-aggressive notes about what she does around the house. Thought I'd join in." It looks like the two of them have just started a war with one another.
[caption id="attachment_4140" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/stephy7[/caption]
The hair art is a pretty gross way of making your passive-aggressive point, so I think it's safe to say this roommate might have won this battle? Though I doubt the other roommate will let them win the war.
[post_page_title]#27 This Long Note[/post_page_title]
I am going to be honest, but I didn't fully read this note. However, judging from the length, it's got to be pretty passive-aggressive.
[caption id="attachment_4141" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/Guitarmaggedon[/caption]
This Redditor wrote: "I woke up to find this morning. The best passive-aggressive note from any roommate ever." I assume that it was quite the statement.
[post_page_title]#28 Eye Serum is a Serious Issue[/post_page_title]
Thankfully, I've never had a roommate take my personal hygiene items. At least, not that I know of. But it looks like this person has a bit of an issue when it comes to keeping their roommate away from their eye serum.
[caption id="attachment_4143" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
Credit: Reddit/passiveaggressivenotes[/caption]
It must be some really good eye serum to get them to go through the trouble of writing this note. Hopefully, their thieving roommate gets the hint and leaves it alone.
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.

[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.

[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.

[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.

[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."

[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."

[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."

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."

[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]This advice[/post_page_title]
Sometimes, when you're impatient in an office, you'll do anything to make things happen faster, like pushing machinery, even though you know it won't make a difference. This picture was captioned: "This sarcastic advice in the office."

[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. This picture was captioned: "My office refuses to take down this non-operating antiquated piece of equipment, so I did the only logical thing."

[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...

[post_page_title]The ketchup monster[/post_page_title]
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."

[post_page_title]Complaints[/post_page_title]
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!

[post_page_title]Logic[/post_page_title]
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.

[post_page_title]The dishwasher isn't Brian[/post_page_title]
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.

[post_page_title]This fiend[/post_page_title]
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.
