Grumpy Cat's Disapproval
It’s hard not to be charmed by the cute face of Grumpy Cat! After all, we love cats as much as the next person. They're furry, calming, mysterious, and bring a lot of charm and warmth to any household. The important thing here is not to focus on that and miss the message completely.

Of course, Grumpy Cat is grumpy because he is calling someone out for snagging someone else’s parking spot. Big no-no. If Grumpy Cat says it is so, then it must be so. We hope whoever received this message got that point and immediately moved the vehicle. For the sake of the cat, at least.
Really?
The use of Post-It notes with the word "really?" printed on them has sparked some curiosity as to their origin. Did they find them pre-printed or did they create them themselves? Either way, it's clear that the dishes have been a recurring issue in the household, leading to the use of such notes. Perhaps the notes serve as a humorous yet effective reminder to those who leave their dishes behind.

It's understandable why the note-taker would feel the need to use them. After all, the lack of cleanliness can become frustrating and a reminder can be helpful. In the end, it's important to address issues like these in a calm and respectful manner, using creative solutions like these notes if necessary.
Some Sarcasm
A little sarcasm goes a long way. It can push the recipient in the right direct when it comes to understanding your point. But you don't want to go overboard with the sarcasm. It’s not just your simple request not to park too far out into the road. It feels more like a “did you really do that?” kinda thing.

On some levels, this stings more than just a polite note. It seems like the person who wrote it feels pretty justified in their complaint, so in a moment of anger, they wrote a passive-aggressive note. We can’t really blame them and we want to see more of this kind of language on notes in the future.
Stick it to the Man
If you hold your employees to a certain level of compliance, then it’s only fair that you follow your own rules as well. After all, the classic phrase "do as I say, not as I do" exists for a reason, you know. As a boss, you should set an example, and the hope is that your employees work according to that.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_3f19b34400c29cfc846a7e53bea1e803/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-Stick-it-to-the-Man-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-1024x1379.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Well, this boss definitely did not set the right example, and well, this is what happens. Workers lose patience, and then the employer ends up with a closed store when it was supposed to be open and an angry note on the door for everyone to see. This is not how you do it.
A Secret Message
A standing ovation here for whoever put this much effort just to secretly show the world what they truly feel about their boss. It really is a sort of "blink, and you'll miss it" situation. The creativity is very impressive, and they really got the ticket spot on.

The beauty in this one is that the boss might actually never find out, but he will need to catch on eventually after the employee no longer shows up to work since their week's notice is over. We want to know just how long it took their boss to find that note!
Called out HARD!
This one is supremely awkward. Yes, some people are married to noticeably attractive people. No, this does not give others the right to focus solely on them and completely ignore their significant other or friends, or whoever else may be sitting with them. We want couple equality on all fronts, people.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_007b2c52e14106013dd247a42e604e71/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-37-3.png.pro-cmg.jpg)
It’s pretty likely this waiter didn’t get a good tip, and if they have any feelings whatsoever, they’ll probably be pretty embarrassed to discover why. We think this is a pretty legitimate reason not to give the tip. We don't care if the food and service were incredible. Obviously, the latter wasn't.
Unnecessary Update
Leaving a note after clogging a toilet may seem like an embarrassing and awkward task, but it's the right thing to do. Whoever left the note in this particular instance showed consideration and thoughtfulness by updating others before they had the chance to discover the damage for themselves.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_d6974a5d32d2a8c71fe6aa0d8758c8a1/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-Unnecessary-Update-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-scaled.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The note also suggests that the person may have been feeling unwell, which is a legitimate reason for the incident. While the assumption that the next person to enter the bathroom would be interested in knowing how they were feeling afterward may be naive, the note still serves a practical purpose. It's a small act of responsibility that can save others from a potentially unpleasant situation.
The Kindness of Strangers
It's heartwarming to hear about acts of kindness like the one Liz performed by paying for a stranger's parking ticket. Her generosity and compassion towards a random person not only helped them avoid a fine but also made their day a little brighter.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_70048d3aefda3c91478e299b458f6763/Hooray-for-Liz-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-1024x1024.png.pro-cmg.jpg)
It's rare to come across such selfless individuals who are willing to go out of their way to help someone else without any expectations in return. Liz's act of kindness serves as an inspiration for others to spread kindness and positivity in their communities. It's entirely possible that the person whose ticket was paid forward this kindness to someone else, creating a chain of positive actions.
Monster Mash
The mention of a "monster" lurking in the attic definitely leaves us with a lot of questions. It's understandable that the workers had to make a quick exit after discovering the creature, as it could potentially be dangerous or unpredictable.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_2f2d96cc83aa12198349185d04b0cad0/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-Monster-Mash-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-1024x1365.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The note doesn't provide any additional information about the type of animal or creature in question, leaving us to wonder if it's a bat, raccoon, possum, bear, or even something more otherworldly like an attic goblin. It's definitely a situation that warrants further investigation, and we hope the workers will report back with more details soon. In the meantime, it's probably best to steer clear of that attic until the mystery is solved!
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_41f6e7d255107eda79e7eb46f93f7066/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-29.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Now when the person calls their insurance company, they will at least have some basic information about who caused the damage. Unlike other notes on this list, this note wasn't written by the offended or the offender, but my a third party, making this one completely unique.
Funny Notes
Sweet or Creepy
We’ll leave it up to you guys to decide if this “love note” from the guy in the blue shirt in class is very sweet or just plain creepy. Ultimately, we guess he’s trying to compliment the class hottie. In case the girl was confused about who wrote the note, it was from the guy in the blue shirt. No name required.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_932242c59af15c03bce1b28b10b42574/39-5.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
That being said, he might have slightly missed the mark with this one. Maybe going with “you look cute” or “would you like to grab a drink sometime?” would have been slightly more appropriate. But we could imagine some recipient's blushing at this cheeky pickup line.
Muffin or Doorknob?
If you have to lose a doorknob, might as well lose it to a neighbor who is, as he says, trippin’ pretty hard. The fact he thought it was a muffin instead of a doorknob has us dying to know what did he do with the knob once he had it?!
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_5e62b7b849fdaa7c0361518c86aa7989/Muffin-or-Doorknob.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Try to eat it?! Realize immediately it wasn’t actually a muffin?! We have questions, and we must have answers! One thing is for sure, if you try to eat a doorknob, then you will probably chip at least some of your teeth if you do not break them completely.
Seems Uncalled for
There are two scenarios that usually occur when you see someone has left their car door open by accident. Scenario number one, they are a good samaritan, and they simply close the door. Scenario number two, they are not a good samaritan, and they steal all your stuff.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_64c5bbac1fa542c5d159166f2aae8254/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-41-6.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
This scenario here is definitely an outlier. Why on earth would someone who sees an open car door leave a note that says...well...this? We can only imagine what goes on in the mind of this peculiar offender. If we were the driver, we would just go and buy another car.
Anonymous Words of Wisdom
Sometimes all you need is just a little pick-me-up. In this case, the pick me up came in the form of an anonymous note letting you know wherever you are in life is just fine. And to carry on the metaphor of the note. Life is like a puzzle. It is full of pieces that make up the entire picture, which ends up being beautiful.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_9b5d0a7748145c1a8a94ca29d435623e/42-2.png.pro-cmg.jpg)
We are all just kinda figuring it out as we go, and a little reminder you’re doing fine is always welcomed. People should leave more notes like this around. Either that, or they should leave some puzzles around for people to play. They are actually pretty fun to do.
A Very Polite Printer
There’s always something so charming about personifying inanimate objects. Whoever wrote this note made the printer seem like the politest old little guy who just doesn’t have it in him to keep going. After all, a lot of printers out there are, in fact, old, and being replaced by younger, more effective printers.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_bdae3590e48456ce55a8be6fc884def6/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-A-Very-Polite-Printer-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-1024x1233.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
How could you be mad at the printer for conking out after 14 full years of service? We approve of this kind of note and think maybe people should use this approach more often with electronics. Either that, or the printer actually typed out that note himself as some sort of end-of-life malfunction.
If You Gotta Eavesdrop…
Eavesdropping can be an uncomfortable and even unethical practice, but sometimes it's unavoidable. In this instance, the eavesdropper went above and beyond by leaving a note that not only acknowledged their actions but also put a smile on the person's face.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_9a5fd000696a3fda517490a6fb10b1df/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-29-at-03.34.03-scaled.jpeg.pro-cmg.jpg)
The eavesdropper's intentions were clearly good, as they wanted to give the person a vote of confidence during what seemed to be a difficult time for them. It takes courage to reach out to someone, even anonymously, and the eavesdropper deserves credit for their thoughtfulness. Leaving notes of encouragement or positivity for strangers can make a real difference in someone's day.
Understandable Quitter
It's a shocking and unsettling experience to be attacked by a drunk co-worker at work, and one would expect the attacker to be held accountable for their actions. However, in this particular case, that didn't happen, and it's understandable why the victim chose to call out their boss publicly.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_bb7c448444c62884535019aa0beffb66/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-Understandable-Quitter-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-1024x1365.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
It's not fair for the victim to continue to serve customers in an environment where their safety is compromised, especially if the attacker is still present. The victim's public call-out may have been the only way to draw attention to the situation and hold the employer accountable for their lack of action.
Facts are Facts
It's not entirely clear why the person who wrote this note decided to include a drawing of a dinosaur, but it does add a touch of humor to an otherwise straightforward announcement. Perhaps the person thought the cute dinosaur might soften the blow of the news that they are quitting.
![](https://www.daily-choices.com/wp-content/uploads/cmg_images/176193/rid_cd7360cf9f984db3a8f212038aaad9f7/crop-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-Facts-are-Facts-Funniest-Notes-People-Have-Written-to-Complete-Strangers-1024x1365.jpg.pro-cmg.jpg)
Regardless of the reason, the note writer chose to stick to the facts and clearly state their intentions. The inclusion of the dinosaur drawing doesn't detract from the main message and may have even made it more memorable. In situations like these, it is important to be clear and direct.

Great Photos
Imagine a snapshot frozen in time, capturing not just a moment, but an era. It’s 1959, and the World Series is electrifying Chicago. Amidst the roar of the crowd and the crack of the bat, one photograph stands out as a piece of baseball history. Al Smith of the Chicago White Sox is poised in front of the outfield wall, eyes focused on the ball. Suddenly, a cascade of beer showers down on him, a spectacle caught forever on film. The culprit? Melvin Peel, an oil company executive, whose overzealous attempt to catch a foul ball resulted in this iconic spill. This image, brimming with drama and unintended comedy, has since become legendary.
HAPYPY JULY 4TH! History of Independence Day
By the middle of the following year, however, many more colonists had come to favor independence, thanks to growing hostility against Britain and the spread of revolutionary sentiments such as those expressed in the bestselling pamphlet “Common Sense,” published by Thomas Paine in early 1776.
On June 7, when the Continental Congress met at the Pennsylvania State House (later Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, the Virginia delegate Richard Henry Lee introduced a motion calling for the colonies’ independence.
Amid heated debate, Congress postponed the vote on Lee’s resolution, but appointed a five-man committee—including Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John Adams of Massachusetts, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania and Robert R. Livingston of New York—to draft a formal statement justifying the break with Great Britain.
Did you know? John Adams believed that July 2nd was the correct date on which to celebrate the birth of American independence, and would reportedly turn down invitations to appear at July 4th events in protest. Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died on July 4, 1826—the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

Colonists didn’t just take up arms against the British out of the blue. A series of events escalated tensions that culminated in America’s war for independence.Read moreRead more about 7 Events That Enraged Colonists and Led to the American Revolution
On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of Lee’s resolution for independence in a near-unanimous vote (the New York delegation abstained, but later voted affirmatively). On that day, John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that July 2 “will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival” and that the celebration should include “Pomp and Parade…Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other.”
On July 4th, the Continental Congress formally adopted the Declaration of Independence, which had been written largely by Jefferson. Though the vote for actual independence took place on July 2nd, from then on the 4th became the day that was celebrated as the birth of American independence.
Early Fourth of July Celebrations and Traditions
In the pre-Revolutionary years, colonists had held annual celebrations of the king’s birthday, which traditionally included the ringing of bells, bonfires, processions and speechmaking. By contrast, during the summer of 1776 some colonists celebrated the birth of independence by holding mock funerals for King George III as a way of symbolizing the end of the monarchy’s hold on America and the triumph of liberty.
Festivities including concerts, bonfires, parades and the firing of cannons and muskets usually accompanied the first public readings of the Declaration of Independence, beginning immediately after its adoption. Philadelphia held the first annual commemoration of independence on July 4, 1777, while Congress was still occupied with the ongoing war.
George Washington issued double rations of rum to all his soldiers to mark the anniversary of independence in 1778, and in 1781, several months before the key American victory at the Battle of Yorktown, Massachusetts became the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday.
After the Revolutionary War, Americans continued to commemorate Independence Day every year, in celebrations that allowed the new nation’s emerging political leaders to address citizens and create a feeling of unity. By the last decade of the 18th century, the two major political parties—the Federalist Party and Democratic-Republicans—that had arisen began holding separate Fourth of July celebrations in many large cities.
Fourth of July Fireworks
Flashback: Independence Day 1941 the first fireworks were used as early as 200 BC. The tradition of setting off fireworks on the 4 of July began in Philadelphia on July 4, 1777, during the first organized celebration of Independence Day. Ship’s cannon fired a 13-gun salute in honor of the 13 colonies. The Pennsylvania Evening Post reported: “at night there was a grand exhibition of fireworks (which began and concluded with thirteen rockets) on the Commons, and the city was beautifully illuminated.” That same night, the Sons of Liberty set off fireworks over Boston Common.
Fourth of July Becomes a Federal Holiday
The tradition of patriotic celebration became even more widespread after the War of 1812, in which the United States again faced Great Britain. In 1870, the U.S. Congress made July 4th a federal holiday; in 1941, the provision was expanded to grant a paid holiday to all federal employees.
Over the years, the political importance of the holiday would decline, but Independence Day remained an important national holiday and a symbol of patriotism.
Falling in mid-summer, the Fourth of July has since the late 19th century become a major focus of leisure activities and a common occasion for family get-togethers, often involving fireworks and outdoor barbecues. The most common symbol of the holiday is the American flag, and a common musical accompaniment is “The Star-Spangled Banner,” the national anthem of the United States.
