More, Please!

These notes made for terrific reading in the throne room of my house. Some of the notes are laugh-out-loud hilarious, while others are cause for alarm. No matter what, though, the notes held my attention. I hope another volume of passive aggressive notes is around the corner!

Really Funny

This book is totally my kind of humor. The notes are hilarious and even though they are short, you can easily relate to the situation. Good quality images of the notes.

Hold the 'Hilariously'

I wanted to like this book, I really did. I love reading notes that have actual notes passed from one person to another - or, in this case, left for another person. Some of the notes in this book are hilarious and I actually did laugh out loud. Others made me wince, because I could imagine the person receiving the note wasn't going to be too happy.

I honestly was expecting this book to contain a bit more... substance. It was a quick read, there weren't too many notes that made me laugh or wince or feel anything at all. I would recommend it to you, but I'd suggest that you borrow it from a friend before buying it... if you even buy it at all.

An amazing glimpse into the psychology of social interaction

Talking to others should not be difficult. However, if it wasn't, this book wouldn't exist.

The collection itself is hit-or-miss: Not every image used is a knee-slapper, such as the condiment note on the cover, but simply the gall of the note can be its own kind of amazing in a horrible way. The note at the beginning about the Thermostat Nazi speaks worlds about the household contained on a single Post-It, and that it got the Thermostat Nazi roommate to lighten up is a great demonstration of how to disarm someone with humour. This is perhaps the brilliance of these notes, that so much can be said, often with so little.

I recommend at least a flip-through at the store if you aren't convinced. Definitely a little insight into the human condition.

The language needs cleaned up!

Well, there is no denying that the notes are funny. Well, most of them.
I, for one, am one of those few people who are still aware of nouns, verbs, adverbs, etc.
I don't need to use the F-bomb as their replacements in sentences!

Other than the language (even worse on the actual blog - the editors seriously need to clean
it up and do some deleting!), many are definitely amusing. The majority, however,
are just a showcase for immature, selfish or drunk people leaving or reacting to notes about
their latest rude behavior.

Take it for what it's worth... some fun, some not.
Wish they'd put basic human behavior back in the school systems and make it a daily requirement.
SO tired of not being able to read anything without a visual assault.
