Poets write love notes in a bid to win their lover’s heart, dreamers put their notes in a bottle and let the sea take care of it, and many people like you and me, they can imagine their shopping trip with a grocery list.

But sometimes, notes, or rather their writers, take a more sinister turn. As a result, from time to time, people spot passive-aggressive, weird and questionable notes and messages glued to anywhere from shop windows, coffee places, their own buildings, you name it.

Below we wrapped up some of the most mildly infuriating notes that make you wonder why some thoughts land on paper when they'd have been better off kept inside the writer's head.

That's heartbreaking. It looks so well done. Hope they found a different baby (and more appreciative parent!) to gift it to.

To find out when leaving a note to someone is a good idea and when it isn’t, as well as how to sound nice in writing or when it is better to talk face-to-face, Bored Panda reached out to Beth Collier, a communication, creativity, & leadership consultant.

    Oh s**t. I dated a Chinese guy for 22 years and I'm a white person who was adopted at birth into a Mexican family. Not only did I sin with interracial dating, I sinned with INTERRACIAL BEING ALIVE!!! XD Also, "a neighbor" is such a racist chode-gargler. I was going to give them cráp for the horribly racist and pejorative term "Indian" vs. "indigenous person" or "Native" or even, you know, the actual tribe name/tribe identity of the person they sent the letter to. Then I remembered that árseholes like "a neighbor" just don't care.

    When asked whether leaving a note to your neighbors about something that you don't like is the way to go, Beth said that it depends on the situation.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    “A face-to-face conversation can be preferable, as you can get more information (and possibly a resolution) faster from a conversation.” She explained: “For example, your neighbor may not realize that their music is loud or that their barking dog is bothering you, and you might be able to resolve this situation quickly through a short conversation.”

    On the other hand, the leadership consultant argues, “if you leave a note instead, your neighbor may interpret your message more critically, and may respond more negatively as a result.”

    Beth says that if you don't feel safe or comfortable speaking to the neighbor, then it's OK to write a note, “just choose your words carefully."

    Electric/Hybrids don't have a positive impact on the environment. They can be neutral at best, but that is not currently possible. Most electricity is produced from fossil fuels anyway. Having an EV and charging it with solar is awesome, but it is a massive initial investment, both financially and environmentally; and takes a long time to start paying for itself. Buying an EV would be a great idea if one is in the market for a new vehicle, but there is no reason to scrap your gas-guzzler if it still runs reasonably well.

    Using my 18 years old VW is more environmentwlly friendly than buying a new electric. It is insane how people do not count the manufacturing impact in the equation which is insanely huge for a new car, which most definitely wont run for 20 years. I will keep this car running as long as I can.

    It's not vandalism as they don't destroy anything, they just deflate the tires and leave this note to prevent accidents. Thus the owners have not actually lost anything, they will just be pissed off for the day. Of course this kind of action is still questionable because you can't be sure you have not created some real problem for the car owner, but I'm baffled at the negative reactions here. It sounds like barely touching someone's car is equivalent to downright killing them and it tells a lot about the damn sacralization of cars in our culture. I'm sorry but in most of the cases, owning a big gas guzzler in urban context has zero justification besides sheer vanity. But maybe it's harder to understand in the US where there seems to be no alternative to owning a big gas guzzler, since the entire society is built around them - people might be aware by now that in the years to come they're going to have bigger problems with it than a few deflated tires.

    Hmm surely deflating it then ensures it needing to be re-inflated? So does that not then have a knock on effect to another car towing or piece of machinery (which probably uses petrol or battery) to re-inflate? Thus we have doubled the poor innocent tyres carbon emissions?? Educate yourselves before you preach. Pfft these protest are actually getting ridiculously funny now in certain instances. P.s. edit for spelling mistake

    And it depends on how they deflated it. If they punctured it, that's rubber waste because it has to be replaced.

There's a reason you don't see any Prius' towing a horse trailer or hauling construction materials. I'm not a truck person, but this is just blatant ignorance. I hope the Tire Fighters need to move on a budget and no one with a truck helps them.

Use most efficiently what has already been produced and created, maximize and appreciate the total world we share. Stop sending revenge and threats around. Concentrate on taking care of yourself and those around you. This is the best way forward for everyone.......

    Time to add some cameras to gather evidence for a charge of domestic terrorism and civil lawsuit. Set up a dummy vehicle just like the cops do to catch car thieves.

    And now the truck owner is going to call for a huge, black smoke, diesel burning tow truck that will block traffic for and hour while hoisting up this guy's truck to take it to the tire shop to repair or replace his tires. Great plan for reducing green house gases.

    Not cool.. but honestly feel the same about SUVs in urban areas. These are just disgusting cars in various aspects..Design (Fortress for the Fearful), Size (No space efficency), Fuelconsumption, Materialconsumption, etc...

    We have a great big “disgusting” 4wd diesel truck. My husband works in construction. What about hauling heavy equipment, like a backhoe or a dozer, or pulling heavy loaded trailers? A regular truck’s engine WILL blow up trying to pull heavy things like this, hence the big truck & the extra horsepower. And yes, sometimes we go to town in our truck, bc it also doubles as our family vehicle rn, since I can’t pull money out of my a*s to buy an extra vehicle to occasionally putter around in, just so a stranger won’t get “offended”. Some people depend on these vehicles for their livelihood… Just sayin…☮️💟

    Unpopular opinion, but there's very few people who actually need a big truck in an urban environment. These kinds of "attacks" don't target people who clearly cannot afford a different vehicle, it targets people who *choose* to buy gas fueled hummers (for example). Electric vehicles are not the answer, sure (public transport is much better). But giant gas guzzling SUVs are even further from the answer to climate change.

    I don't know why the hate here Joelle. I suspect that (and don't shoot me down in flames for this) it is inconceivable to Americans why their unnecessarily large cars are having such a negative environmental impact. Although I agree electric cars are not necessarily they way forward, we cannot simply going on abusing this planet as we do, and so unfortunately some of these cars ought to go unless their size is necessitated by work or having a large family. I agree that inconveniencing the average man isn't the best way forward but I do feel the fear expressed by these crusaders

    In order not to sound passive-aggressive in a note that could potentially aggravate the situation, Beth’s advice is to “be polite, explain the situation, and look for a solution together. Your neighbor may be inconsiderate, but they may not know there is even an issue.”

    Beth argues that it’s best to “write the note like an adult speaking to another adult - not like a parent speaking to a naughty child. Keep your message short and simple - but be clear about what the issue is, and what you want.”

    "If you know the neighbor and have a decent relationship with them, it can be easier (and faster) to speak to them face-to-face. When you talk to someone face-to-face, it is easier to communicate your tone and meaning than it is in writing,” Beth explained.

    She also reminds readers to think about timing if you approach them (e.g. you might want to avoid meal times, or late at night/first thing in the morning). “And don't approach them when you're angry."

    A friend had a neighbor making calls about nuisance noise. Here the one that is too loud has to pay 300€. The first time she did have guests and the guard wrote her a ticket, even though they admitted that they didn't hear the guests being too loud. Then there were several calls from the same neighbor and the guards wrote no tickets since they found no disturbance. The last time they called her on the phone and found that she was not at home. From that point, the neighbor had to pay for the tickets. Sadly it turned out that he had undiagnosed schizophrenia. The sounds were real, but only to him.

    I don't see how this is passive aggressive. It wasn't really their business to insert themselves in the conversation, but they seem to have done it in the most respectful way possible. They weren't confrontational, they didn't cause a scene, the note is polite and positive. I don't see the big problem here.
