30 Weird And Nasty Things People Actually Put In Writing That Should’ve Just Stayed In Their Thoughts
Interview
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.

This Made Me Mad
Apathetic Bovine 2 years ago
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.

Racist Karen Left This Note
Lakota Wolf 2 years ago (edited)
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.

This is shocking - not that they're trying to unfairly withhold bond, but that they're brazen enough to post about it!
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.
“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.”

Obviously Diamond is a women [sic]. This is why they ate the whole salad... had to feed more than just one.

I can't even.... What a toolbox! Look - I met my husband over brunch. We cleaned our plates. Then we walked around for an hour or two and got coffee and cake. Then we walked around for a few more hours and got more food. The day was getting on so eventually we had dinner. Our first date was 12 hours, two meals, two coffee stops (with pastry or muffin), 30C+ degree heat in which neither one of us looked good, which has led to 19 years together some arguments, no fights, and countless good meals together.

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.”

I would appeal this, take it to the head of faculty. It's nasty power play and nothing to do with academic ability.
"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."

Found This Note Taped To Our Door After A Dog In The Complex Barked All Morning. We Don’t Own A Dog And We Were At Home All Day

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.

I cannot abide anonymous notes. Got one from a neighbour once, demanding I stop using a specific parking space (not allocated to them, they just liked using it). It wasn’t signed, so I just knocked on doors until I found out who it was and politely declined. Sad thing was, they knew it was my car and could have just asked me to my face or popped a note through my door, in which case I probably would have said yes.
