Passive-Aggressive Notes
Passive-Aggressive Notes is a website that documents "painfully polite and hilariously hostile notes from shared spaces the world over." Most of these notes are found in shared apartments, offices, apartment buildings and stores. Passive-Aggressive Notes is similar to other projects like Found Magazine and PostSecret that also collect handwritten notes, and shares a similar 'blog' format (where readers send in their own entries to the site) as humour sites Photoshop Disasters, Not Always Right, Unfortunate Names and Drive Me Mad.
The site was founded in May 2007, by Kerry Miller, a writer based in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Passive Aggressive Notes (or P.A.N.) has spawned a book published by Collins.
