Finding a roommate is hard enough, but actually living with one is even harder. They often have no idea you need to replace an empty toilet paper roll or clean the dishes in a somewhat timely manner. However, these and other annoying co-living problems are often the results of the lack of communication. For some reason, our tongues find it almost impossible to tell our housemate in an adult manner that something is bothering us, instead choosing to say it in a very passive-aggressive way. Bored Panda has put together a list of hilariously funny messages roommates have ever left, showing that you can only avoid addressing an issue for so long. Scroll down to check out how creative we get when we're pissed off, and upvote your favorite passive-aggressive roommate! Also, if you want more funny examples of how to make "subtle" comments, fire up these funny notes from office coworkers.

You Seem Stressed
you're smoking, or smelling, really crappy weed...orrrr...really great weed....wait...what were we talking about??
Load More Replies...I wish I had neighbors like this, who thought I was stressed out. I'd make sure I'd be letting them know i"m stressed every damn day.
When the relationship between you and your roommate is clearly going to pot...
I don't really understand why they are sharing a ventilation system? But if it is a state where smoking is legal and it is their own place, it's basically tough luck for the person complaining.
Read your rental agreement. If it's a tobacco free property, that would apply to pot, as well.
Load More Replies...kinda true weed is kinda good whos to say you cant have a zoot after a long day of work huh? and tbf there is no deaths caused by canabis other drug paraphernalia maybe cigarettes maybe alcohol maybe cannabis UNLIKELY! so if your stressed try one you cant mock it unless you havent tried it just saying
My cousin was killed by someone who was driving while being high with pot. So stop saying b******t like "there is no deaths caused by cannabis". Of course there is no direct impact for someone who is just smoking one joint from time to time to relax after work, but honestly how many people do you know how can do that occasionnally ? Maybe I was very unlucky, but EVERY people I know who smoke ended up being just that : heavy pot smokers. Don't go to their place after 7pm because they are like larvaes on the couch, staring at you and talking about s**t they are obviously the only one to find funny. And of course, they seem to be able to talk ONLY about that. And yeah, one day you have to learn that your cousin was hit by a car, and the driver was high, he was going for a shopping spree because he was hungry after smoking. Yeah, no death... I have NO problem with people OCCASIONALLY having a joint, but they are really not common, most of them are just doing that all the time...
Load More Replies...Thank god you're here to tell me exactly how I feel.
Load More Replies...Saw a sign in Germany, translates to: If you must smoke, please do not exhale.

This Guy Turned His Roommate’s Mess Into A “Passive-Aggressive Art Gallery”
I'm thinking I should to this to my husband... A few years ago I taped a note on his study door saying "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here", since his study is ALWAYS an absolute stinky mess. He thought it was hilarious and kept the note up for months until it fell off on its own.

Load More Replies...Good thing my 9 flatmates and i are strict with house rules.. We have set cleaners of every day, laundry day and assigned partners to do house grocery every month. Don't think we're too legalistic. Sometimes we get lazy too.. It makes as normal. But if someone goes too much, we don't practice making passive-aggressive notes. We believe in direct, non-judgmental advices.
