Passive aggressive office notes revealed in funny pictures

Publish date: 2024-09-08

It's unlikely that passive aggressive notes have ever helped to diffuse tension in the office.  

But that doesn't stop frustrated staff members leaving hand-written warnings in a desperate bid to get their message across - as these hilarious snaps shared on social media prove. 

They're largely the efforts of employees seeking revenge on serial milk stealers, or those with a habit of making a mess in communal areas.

One disgruntled woman took the extreme step of labelling each and every item of food that was not hers in the fridge - to make it crystal clear to her colleagues which ones they should avoid.

Another person was fed up with those leaving notes and publicly shamed them for using Comic Sans.

Here Femail rounds up some of the funniest workplace outbursts that have made their way onto the web...
