Austin’s passive-aggressive notes

PassiveAggressiveNotes.com is one of my all-time favorite websites. You can look at it for hours and laugh at people’s awkward attempts at controlling terrible roommates and inconsiderate co-workers or just generally keeping others in line. And if you’re like me, you cringe because these notes remind you of a few you may have angrily taped to the door of the girl across the hall who thought fighting with her boyfriend on the phone at 3am every night right outside your door was perfectly acceptable (coughfreshmanyearinthedormscough).

The site is well-organized, so it’s easy to browse notes left in certain cities, including Austin. With so many people visiting and running around town for SXSW, a few passive-aggressive notes from Austin were bound to pop up on the site. And they have: There’s “the chav’s guide to sxsw,” which includes three notes seen at local bars that were written by annoyed bartenders. There’s also “ reporting not-exactly-live from sxsw,” posted a few days before the other one that has notes spotted at The Scoot Inn, Beerland, and Emo’s.
