I got a poorly spelled note explaining they were down on their luck and had ot help themselves to my empties.

Work blocking the site for some reason, anyone have a mirror?

sweetmelissa31: This is a win for the neighbors:

It'd be kind of awesome if someone stole their plywood sign.

When I lived in an apartment, there used to be a lot of problems with people doing laundry after hours. What really sucked is that my apartment shared a wall with the laundry room. I tried a note one time and when that didn't work came up with the perfect solution. Every time somebody started doing laundry in the middle of the night, I unplugged the machines. Wasn't so much of a problem after that.

Snakeophelia: Loved the one about laundry being put out in the snow. It's always good for jerks to be reminded that (a) other people can be bigger jerks and (b) karma can be instant. I think I would have been too chicken to put my room # on that one, though.

But you'd put a room number on the note though.

Once when I was feeling more passive aggressive than aggressive which is my standard mode of operation I made a sign that read;

How To Use The Garbage Chute

1. Bag your garbage
2. Open chute
3. Place bagged garbage into open chute
4. Close chute

Now that you all know how to use the chute you won't have to leave bags of your garbage right in front of it and I won't have to handle your trash. Thanks.

I have left and been left plenty of notes during my 5 years living in an apartment. Usually the notes I have left involved me sticking notes on the washer/dryer I was using because people would always open the washer/dryer to see if it was empty (despite the fact that it's moving and making noise). Sometimes they'd just close the lid, and not push "start" again, so my laundry would be soapy and/or soaking wet when I got to it, or they'd get impatient and remove my laundry while it was still soapy/wet so they could use the washer/dryer. Usually my notes read something like "Yes, this washer/dryer is in use. If you're going to open it, please push 'START' once you close the lid. Please do not remove my garments, particularly my underwear, from the washer/dryer, as I am in the midst of a horrible herpes and genital wart outbreak, and would not wish to contaminate you."

The notes that got left for me on my door were always from two downstairs neighbors I had for two years, in response to the police showing up at their door at LEAST once a week in response to them throwing a party, again, at 1am on a Thursday night. Usually to the tune of "DEAR ASSHOLE NEIGHBOR: LET ME KNOW IF WE ARE BEING TOO LOUD. STOP CALLING THE FARKING POLICE ON US!!!"

Problem with that was they didn't acknowledge the universal stomping on the floor/ceiling to mean "STFU", but instead took it to mean "We should be louder so we can't hear the stomping anymore", and I got tired of pounding on their door at 2am EVERY week. They finally got evicted after the police showed up one evening when they had 40 people in their 2bdr apartment. They pissed on my door the day they moved out.

I once got a note on my car windshield for parking in the space NEXT TO the handicapped spot. I was fully in the space, not crooked in any way. Just a note that I should park farther away since I can walk. Is there some "don't park next to the handicapped spot" rule that I don't know about?

Goddamn inconsiderate telepaths.

You do realize that you're the asshole in that story, right?

Ok. Which one of you Farkers wrote this?

So they were using the laundry room to do laundry?

What A-Holes.

Russ1642: I have retaliated against a neighbor only once. Park in my parking spot even when there are signs all over telling you it's mine not yours and you get the air let out of your tires. After that one I had to check every day to make sure my tires were full because I thought they'd retaliate back. They never did.

Stealing at least two of their valve stems is a nice way to do this, BTW.

brigid_fitch: Diogenes: I'm definitely noticing a strong correlation between people who communicate through signs and poor language and spelling skills.

And repeated invocations of Christianity. "I'm passive-aggressive and will DOUBLE-GUILT you into complying!"

I've been known to leave post-it notes on cars where people either don't know how to park or are complete douchebags about it. I know it's childish & dumb but I take heart in the hope that maybe--just MAYBE--someone will think twice next time about parking diagonally across 2 spots so nobody can park near their precious Camaro.

Preach on.

I do the same.

It's either a note, or a rock through their windshield and a turd on their driver's seat.

I usually opt for the note.
