Review
"We dare you not to laugh at loud at these funny, snarky notes."
--Redbook magazine, November, 2008

Product Description
passive-aggressive Definition: of or relating to a personality that harbours aggressive emotions while behaving in a calm or detached manner. Have you ever felt angry about something a colleague, flatmate or even a total stranger has done? Has your pent up anger ever unleashed itself as a written note? Have you ever been the recipient of a nagging reminder to do the dishes or turn down the music, imbued with a faux friendliness and stuck on a Post-It for all to see? Welcome to the hilarious and compelling world of the passive-aggressive. Part voyeuristic entertainment, part group therapy passiveaggressivenotes.com provides an amusing glimpse into the private lives of strangers as well as a revealing insight into our collective neuroses. Your Mother Doesn't Work Here collects all of the most popular notes that have been submitted to the website -- some passive and almost polite in tone, many overtly aggressive -- but all sharing a common sense of frustration channelled into a 'helpful' note.Notes from the disgruntled and dissatisfied, Post-Its for food thieves, warnings to the irresponsible and untidy, notices from neighbours and landlords and messages from fed up flatmates who have reached the end of their tether all feature in this compendium of textual passive-aggression. Entries include the shaming, 'Your mum does not work here (& would be embarrassed by your behaviour if she did)' to the irritable, 'We wish people who are turning off the hall lights would get a life.' Laugh at the ridiculous, delight in the bizarre and nod your head in recognition at those notes that strike a chord - after all, there's a little bit of passive-aggressive in all of us.

3.0 out of 5 stars It was ok, 9 Feb 2009
I saw excerpts of this in a magazine and the tears were tripping me but when I got the book I kinda discovered that those were the funnies ones in the book, it was ok but not as good as I thought it would be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book, 16 Mar 2009
By J. Lush (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a fan of the PAN blog this great little book offers more of the same amusing (and sometimes slightly terrifying) notes; it's a fun coffee table book and has had many of my friends in stitches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant little book, 7 Jan 2009
This book had me laughing from cover to cover. The author explains where the idea for the book comes from and most of the post it notes featured have little stories attached. Brilliant for people who, like myself, enjoy being passive aggressive and live/have lived with some real butt holes.
