The most delightful laughter often surprises us, and spontaneous messages from acquaintances or strangers can offer a refreshing respite from life’s more somber moments. Whether a handwritten note is left at the front door, in the mailbox, or on a windshield, sometimes people have information to share without anyone around to hear it.
Have you ever encountered a note that momentarily lifted the weight of your worries, prompting an unexpected laugh? Online communities are buzzing with stories of amusing note encounters, highlighting the therapeutic power of laughter.
1. Sorry, You Look Rich
Common courtesy dictates that if you hit or scratch someone’s car in their absence, you leave your number so that you can square it out later. One person was gracious enough to leave a note, only he wasn’t about to leave his number.
His note said in part, ” … because you looked rich, I’m not leaving my number. Sorry.”
2. Not In Love With You
If you plan to leave a romantic note on your better half’s car, do it when you’re not tired. One man left a romantic note for his wife in her car—except it wasn’t her car, he left the note on.
He had to leave another note to explain the other note. He finished with, “If this car happens to be yours, I apologize for the confusion. I’m not in love with you. Sorry.”
3. Glare At The Book Thief
One nice neighbor set up a free library in her neighborhood for people to borrow, read, and return books. She wrote a note encouraging them to read and even bring their own books for exchange.
Another lady wasn’t being a good neighbor [or reader]; she was in the habit of taking books and not bringing them back. The librarian added a footnote in their note and told the people, “If you see her, give her a mean glare for me. If you’re that lady, come on, man!”
4. Tic Tac, the Bad Boy
What is the honorable thing to do when your horse pees on somebody’s car? One man gave us the best step to take in the event that your steed goes number one in a place it shouldn’t.
He wrote a note explaining the situation and left $50 for the car wash. His horse was named Tic Tac. (You know you live in the country when….)
5. Blame The Squirrel
Motorists get into all manner of accidents while avoiding hitting wildlife. One man had to write an apology note when his wife hit someone else’s parked car while avoiding a squirrel.
It’s good he left his number for the car owner to call. Thus, this squirrel lived, but their low insurance premium did not.
6. A Proud Quitter
Quitting a job is rarely fun, and most people struggle with that decision until they finally hand in the resignation letter. However, one internet user wasn’t struggling; they wrote a note to their boss and drew a picture of themselves holding a banner that said, “I’m a quitter!”
That’s one way to quit proudly.
7. Worst Coffee Makers
Restaurants like to get feedback on their services and menus, and one restaurant got a review from a long-term customer about their coffee.
An elderly customer who had been drinking coffee for 62 years finally confessed that their coffee was the worst she had ever had. She said, “Throughout my 62 years of drinking coffee, you are undoubtedly the worst coffee maker I have come across.”
8. Jury Duty Accepted
One way to get out of a task you didn’t want in the first place is to be so enthusiastic about it that it’s taken away. One man decided to accept his jury duty rather dramatically.
He wrote his acceptance note to the court promising to “…reign a plague of doom down upon their [the perceived evil doers] heads the likes they have never seen.”
He even promised to make a costume. I don’t think he made the jury.
9. Reclaiming the Parking Spot
Some people will park in places marked “reserved” just because they can. When one neighbor found their parking spot taken, they wrote a warning note to the offender, reminding them that they didn’t call a tow truck this time.
They added, “Next time, I will vaseline your door handles and wiper blades, THEN call the tow truck.”
Be ye warned.
10. The Drunk Door Knob Thief
The things people do while drunk are for the movies, and one intoxicated neighbor ended up stealing a door knob from his neighbors. When he sobered up, he wrote an apology note to accompany the door knob he was now returning.
Why steal a doorknob in the first place?
“I was tripping balls and thought it was a muffin.”
Maybe it’s time to go easy on the edibles.
