Colleagues and roommates aren't the only ones who use passive aggressive language to send a message to those that annoy them. Bored Panda has compiled a list of the most brilliant ways people told their neighbors they were being a**holes, and they will definitely give you some ideas on handling residential disputes.
I mean, you can only live next to a wannabe-drummer or a pile of garbage for so long, right? From asking the neighbors to quit dropping cigarette butts on the ground to reminding them that your yard isn't a dog toilet, the people behind these messages would probably graduate from Anger Management University with an A+ in all of their curricula.

Note From Angry Neighbor (Above) And Appropriate Army Vet Response (Below)
This angers me so much, as it happens sooooo often. I have several disabled friends who can all tell stories about something similar happening to them. One of them uses a wheelchair, but also drives a sports car and regularly has people stop, ready to harangue him while he parks his car, only to scamper off embarrassed when he gets his chair out.

Our Elderly Neighbors Have This Sign Posted On The Bike Path In Their Backyard
I need this sign in my neighborhood. And that couple's grandson! I have a couple of people that seem to think their small dog's c**p will vanish when it hits the lawn or sidewalk. I put up a camera in the front of the house, but I think I might have to steal this idea and add "I'll send my boxer dog to poop on your porch!"

Reminds me of me and my golf cart. I cannot drive a vehicle due to poor eyesight, but I DO have a gas powered Yamaha golf cart that I CAN drive, and I bet the people HATE me when I nab the primo spot at the store with it!! Hey, I have rights too!! AND my golf cart IS street legal, with turning signals, brake lights, front lights, and a really loud horn!

Our Neighbours Very Precisely Only Cleaned Their Part Of The Wall
I don't think this is petty. They probably bought paint with their own money, & invested a lot of time in just doing their own side. That thing looks like a b***h to clean. They could have even paid someone to do it for them.
Saw This On My Neighbor's Door This Morning
The Neighbors Need To Stop
This Was Posted On My Neighbor's Door This Morning
Something similar happened to my mom. The downstairs neighbor left her an outright agressive note on the door accusing her of moving furniture every morning between 6 and 7 am and threatening to call the cops. My mom is 62 years old and tiny and has no intention of moving furniture around for sport. The ones moving c**p around were the neighbors above HER apartment!
To The People Who Kept Us Up All Night
That happens to me every other night in summer (that my neighbors are loud, not that I get those messages). But I have neither the energy nor the humor to do something like that. I'm just frustrated and physically ill from not getting enough sleep.

I didn't find it passive-aggressive. More like positive reinforcement/ bribery

Shouldn't write letters, just go there when they are a loudest and ring their bell till they answer.
Neighbor Love, Passive-Aggressive Style
I've been in both situations... where nosy kids interrupt my rest and where MY kid interrupt other's, and frankly, it's life... some times my 1YO kid wakes up too early crying his lungs out and there's nothing I can do to avoid it, just try to calm him down as soon as possible (cause I want to go back to sleep aswell). I understand my neighbors get annoyed by this but, there are two options, move out or understand that these things happen. Once, one lady neighbor even knocked my door offering her help and asking if everything was fine with my kid, that was a nice gesture from her and, I think, one of the best ways to approach this kind of situations.
