Customer Reviews

Fun Little Read!

This was a quick fun book - packed with amusing notes by disgruntled roommates, neighbors and co-workers. It has the added benefit of making one feel better about their own living situation! My copy, however, arrived with cover unattached, despite being listed as very good-condition. Hmmmmm..... maybe I should write them a note!

A quick way to improve your mood

I read Passive Aggressive Notes on the train home after a long day and went from tired and stressed out to laughing so hard that I shed a tear or two. It's a collection of real notes and photos of the outrageous things people can't find a way to say directly to their roommates and coworkers. Anyone who works in an office, shares an apartment, or dislikes confrontation will so love that this book exists.

Funny, funny stuff

I always LOL at the PAN site, so I was thrilled to check out notes that didn't make it to the web. This book didn't disappoint. Somehow, the new stuff in the book is even more hilarious than what I've seen on the site. I'm just in awe of all the crazy people out there that write these notes! I've already passed the book to one of my co-workers who shares my distaste for people who'd rather write a note than make a verbal request. This is the perfect gift for your roommate or cube-mate (but read it yourself, first!).

Delightfully Entertaining

I have been a fan of passiveaggressivenotes.com since it started and its nice to have a print version! Having lived with some passive aggressive note-writers in my own life, I certainly can appreciate this collection. I think its a fabulous gift idea because its witty and fun. It is good for the people in your life with a great sense of humor and even better for those who need to do a little self reflection about their own passive-aggressive nature. This book is a must-have for any coffee table!!!

Hilarious--a great gift idea!

It's the beginning of November and I already have my office Secret Santa gift taken care of--might be perfect for a few former roommates as well!!! This is a great collection of notes ranging from the creative to the ridiculous that will have you laughing with each turn of the page(I personally love the flow-chart for office coffee mug cleaning and the pad-locked microwave). I would strongly recommend this for anyone with a sense of humor, or as a gift for anyone you think might have one!

Laugh out loud!

Kerry Miller's book Passive-Aggressive Notes,etc. reads hilariously for all ages. My group consists of women in their 80's and we all laughed hysterically at the notes but were a little taken aback by some of the language. No one wanted to put it down. Each person wanted to read something aloud. Well worth the money for a good laugh--or two or three.
