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.

Inappropriate colours… so she’s ruling out the entire colour spectrum for her daughter. I guess she’ll be stuck in black, grey and white then!

I am almost certain that Jen's colour palette runs along the beige and ivory tones because she thinks that they're classy and tasteful, which is ironic because that is everything she is not.

That's a magnificent afghan with very good, even work. OP not only went outside her beginner's comfort zone to try a new method, but thought about the recipient with every stitch which is what you do when creating a gift (C2C means Corner to Corner, meaning the rows are done diagonally instead of straight across traditional rows). If Jen had any clue how much time, expense and effort went into this, she should be ashamed.

I am a heterosexual man, happily married, 64 years old and my friend introduced me to some of their friends as "colourful" because I like to wear all kinds of colourful clothing. I have a rainbow tie and one of my gay work-colleagues asked me if I would deign to wear something "rainbow"! Why is wearing a rainbow-coloured thing so negative? If your friend was deeply "Christian", how does she react to the "coat of many colours" so beloved of Christian people? OP, I feel sorry for your friend. It must be awful going through life so blinkered and unable to live in a modern world!

What a hideously disgusting response to the MOST lovely of gestures! I was a late bloomer to crocheting myself, and never really "knew" how anything would turn out, I'd just "wing it" and hope for the best. So, I am EVER so impressed by such exquisitely dedicated each and every stitch is placed! In summation: You Rule They Suck And I'm envious of the darling who will be so fortunate to call that FAB piece of crafting "their own"! I'm glad I was able to appreciate the sweetest of intentions by seeing this story and view such a generous gift! Peace, Blessings and Love, my Dear!

I'd remind the giftee (and I'll bet my life she's highly religious) that the rainbow is a sign from a god telling followers it means faithfulness and mercy. BOOM!

Some people are so flipping ignorant it makes me want to spit nails! What an awful note to leave when you've just given someone a gift - any gift! I can just imagine how appreciative she'll be when she has a baby shower - "yes, I'll keep that - nope, back to store," as she tosses it back to the giver. I'm beginning to feel really sorry for that baby.

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."

    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.
