Having neighbors is a dicey proposition. No matter how gracious and considerate you and your neighbor might be, you just won’t see eye-to-eye on everything. Maybe you think 3 a.m. for sleeping, but your neighbor thinks it’s the perfect time to workshop their Adele impression for karaoke night. There’s always something.
So, what’s the best way to navigate those moments of neighborly tension? By trying to be gracious and considerate of others, and if should things go wrong, being adult enough to apologize? WRONG!
The best way, clearly, is to leave a passive-aggressive note that calls out your neighbor for their wrongdoing. Passive-aggressive notes are one of the best cheat codes for living in modern society–you get change other people’s behavior without even having to confront them about it! Via Bored Panda, here are 15 passive-aggressive notes (and other messages) from neighbors who will definitely be avoiding eye contact in the laundry room.
