What is the best way to get at your annoying office colleague? A passive-aggressive note, of course! After all, as anybody who's ever read Sun Tzu's The Art of War will know, the best way to deal with somebody stealing your sandwiches or leaving loaves of bread in the toilet (seriously) is to leave them a snarky and anonymous note expressing your displeasure. Problem solved...right? Well, not quite. Sparks turn into flames and notes turn into a war, with these passive-aggressive quotes.

Anyway, if you are looking for a spiteful way to stop the office food thief - here are some passive-aggressive examples for your disposal. Just be careful to find your match in this manner of solving a dispute - otherwise, you might be the one who got passive-aggressive'd.

So, as the famous war-cry goes - liberty or death! Good luck!
