Adults are basically just children who've grown fat, watched their dreams die, and learned to shrink from confrontation. So it follows that the modern workplace is just as petty and territorial as your typical elementary school playground, except there's a lot less spitting and hair-pulling, and a lot more bitchy note-writing. The most successful workplace notes strive to entertain just as much as they impolitely advise and chastise, and the notes collected here are some of the best of the medium.

The decaf rant is a quote from Taken. Liam Neeson warns his daughter's kidnappers what will happen if he doesn't get her back pronto.

For 20 years we had reminder notes, pictures of a pig, with "clean up after yourself" and nothing worked. Now, we have a list of everyone who works in the office, and each week it is someones turn to clean up the dishes. If they don't clean up they get an extra week of cleaning. This is the only thing that has worked.

I want to work in places like this. At least the people there are creative and have some humor. Nobody would go out of their way to do anything like this in any place I've worked. :(
I have seen lots of signs about cleaning up dishes left in break room sinks. This apparently is a huge annoyance to people and I barely notice the sink area.... -

I just love the intro: "Adults are basically just children who've grown fat, watched their dreams die, and learned to shrink from confrontation. So it follows that the modern workplace is just as petty and territorial as your typical elementary school playground, except there's a lot less spitting and hair-pulling, and a lot more bitchy note-writing." OMG couldn't have said it better myself!!! These notes are so awesome - I have to wonder where some of these workplaces are, and if they are in fact hiring.

The favourite one we get in the office is from the council, it reads 'due to none payment of council tax, rent, utilities, and income tax, we are being forced to remove your from the premises.' What larks.
Oh, and we do get the occassional post-it from the far right, but they're usually just drawings.

@Wes You can compost meat, it's just unadvisable since it may attract mice and/or rats. I agree that the original note was winning...until they signed it "From: The Vegan"
Donairs are also very prevalent in Western Canada (Alberta) -

There aren't a lot of places with donairs in this world. I know them from Eastern Canada (Nova Scotia to be exact). They are kinda like a gyro but the sauce is different. So a donair pizza is basically donair ingredients on a pizza crust (meat, onion, donair sauce, tomato) and it is soooooo good. Composter is either the green bin for collecting compost material (again, a Nova Scotia thing) or they may be referring to a garbage disposal.
