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 crap 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!"

Look, Bob
Ye my neighbours tell us to paint our fence. When they paint it, paint drips over ours. I could now say to them 'It has paint on it'

It’s My Spot And I’ll Park What I Want To
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 Neighbor Likes To Turn On Flood Lights That Beam Through Our Windows At Night. My Dad Hates Him So Much That He's Installing One Way Mirrors Facing His House So They Bounce It Back, And Retain The Darkness Inside Our House
I work at a window tinting company. This wouldn't work unless they used actual mirrors.

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 bitch to clean. They could have even paid someone to do it for them.
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 crap 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.
