Engagement Activity 2/24 Passive Aggressive Notes

I recently spotted a passive aggressive note written on a Post-It and placed outside of a bathroom stall. I live in the dorms, and over the weekend, there was a suspicious looking spill in one of the bathroom stalls that looked like someone had peed on the floor. Someone attached a post-it note to the stall that seemed like it was directed towards the custodian, but it was also an indirect message to whoever it was that left the mess. It said something along the lines of “I am so sorry you have to clean this up because someone peed on the floor.” The handwriting was large and written in a bright colored marker. It wasn’t in all caps, so I would say this was a more subtle passive aggressive note. But the reason I think that it comes across as passive aggressive is because we all know that this note is not really meant for the custodian; It’s a warning to whoever it was that made the mess that we’re all angry and that this is unacceptable. You can hear the sass the writing. It translates to: “Wow, it is so ridiculous that someone peed on the floor and I can’t believe you have to clean this up. We’re all bitter about this.”
