21 Hilariously Sarcastic Office Notes

Working in an office can be tough (especially when your co-workers are annoying as heck)... but are passive aggressive and sarcastic office notes the way forward? Maybe.

I know first-hand that working in an office can be hard work.

The printer that always breaks; the loo roll that never gets changed; the thief that eats someone else’s lunch...

But sometimes people try to make light of a bad situation.

Check out these great, sarcastic office notes… some friendly, some probably not!

1. The Printer Called Bob.

Is this love?

Summary

I'm sure these people have just reached the end of their tether and can't find any other way to communicate their frustration.

Maybe their colleagues will just wash that mug next time...
