The lovely people of Data Label recently created a hilarious but true infographic about 'the art of passive aggressive notes' which to me is something I am all too familiar with, although mine is more likely to take place online. Living with 4 other people can be incredibly tough and a lot of the time the cleaning doesn't get done and the music is played far too loud, but being adult about things we mostly take to Twitter or even our group Facebook chat, with a message similar to 'cleaning would be great' or even 'if people didn't have their music SO loud, some of us would be able to sleep' somehow though this is less peaceful than saying it someone's face, as when it is said to the face of that person it usually ends in a massive argument which is even less fun. I think if you are going to make a passive aggressive note or tweet to make it totally obvious who it is for without even mentioning their name, if that person is guilty they'll know STRAIGHT OUT that it is about them.
The passive aggressive thing works well for students and when your mum is shouting out you from work via a note, but when it's your other half I usually find talking helps a lot better. Mostly because my boyfriend would totally ignore a note and carry on exactly the same as before! But when someone makes you mad instead of starting a HUGE feud I'd totally recommend notes/tweets to vent your anger! When reading this infographic I decided to find some other funny PA notes and I came a whole website dedicated to them which you can read here! I was also super amused to see that the infographic had been shared a variety of comedy sites (such as The Cheers) which is always good when something takes off especially when teaching those the art of the passive aggressive note!
