You never realize you live with a bunch of sarcastic comedians until your neighbors start leaving notes in the lobby. 

Unless you live in the middle of the desert or something, you probably have a few neighbors. For those of us located in cities, it's normal to have not just one, but possibly dozens of neighbors. It seems like there's at least one person in every apartment building who just can't be normal. They're often quite disruptive, as if the dozens of other people in the building just don't exist. 

These people shared some very funny notes they found in their lobbies and in other buildings. There are a few chiding neighbors for being too loud, while others are furiously having a debate about building conditions (but only by writing on the sign that was posted, never by talking in person). You can check them all out below! 

Then, check out the odd "aggressive sign" that one breakfast chain posted in view of both customers and staffers.

    Hi, I'm really sorry, my dog opened your apartment door and ran in today at around 3:20PM. The door was unlocked so he was able to open the door as he knows how to open these handles. I knocked but no one appeared to be home, I had to open your front door and go in and grab my dog. He wasn't inside your apartment for more than 30 seconds. Your dog was just hanging out, he went out for a second and I just put him back in and closed the door. He only barked when I knocked on your door. Again, I'm

    To whom it Listening may Concern: to Gandalf scream "You shall not pass!" at 3 AM in the morning is not a pleasant way to try to fall asleep. Next time you watch Lord of the Rings or any other movie, get some headphones. and turn the sound down. Sincerely, Your now-sleepless neighbor.
