Sometimes, you just can’t say it to someone’s face. Whether it’s about terrible parking, an office supply thief, or a broken coffee maker, a well-placed note is the only way to vent frustration, be passive-aggressive, or drop a hilarious truth bomb. We’ve gathered some of the funniest, most honest, and downright inappropriate notes people have actually left for strangers, coworkers, and sometimes even their exes! Get ready for some laughs and maybe a few pointers on what not to write on a napkin.
Note 1
The polite note for terrible parking. Do you think the driver got the hint about their parking skills? We hope so!
Note 2
Have you ever had to tape up a note like this to save a big work meeting?
Note 3
Is there anything more terrifying than someone jiggling the lock while you’re in the stall?
Note 4
A masterclass in passive-aggressive revenge. He’s thanking the thief for “keeping it safe” before the police track the iPad down. Smart and classy!
Note 5
How often do you think they had to deal with this before putting up such a direct sign?
Note 6
Is this one of the worst and most disrespectful non-tips you’ve ever seen left for a server?
Note 7
This man is paying big money to keep his call history a secret. Talk about desperate measures!
Note 8
The tragic office saga of trying to find the one person who never seems to be at their desk. We’ve all been there (if you haven’t, you’re probably the person never at your desk).
Note 9
Which is the bigger office crime: leaving the door open, or using Comic Sans in a Fortune 500 company?
Note 10
Do you have a coworker who is this specific and accurate about every single office detail?
Note 11
The classic staffing shortage problem, but with a hilarious interpretation. We hope this customer got their well-deserved taco!
Note 12
If your office coffee maker isn’t hot, is a great personality really enough to forgive it? Maybe all she needed was a few compliments!
Note 13
Can you think of a better way to warn people about a faulty vending machine and subtly vent about an ex?
Note 14
The office pun master strikes! You asked them to date the cans, and they interpreted it literally. Wonder where they took it to dinner…
Note 15
Who do you think is winning this whiteboard marker turf war? The frustrated original writer or the defiant thief?
