A Brit has slammed the “sweary sign” left by a neighbour on the main door of the block of flats they share – after a dispute broke out over “fag ends”.
He shared a snap of the X-rated sign on Reddit prompting others to react with mixed opinions on the matter. “Plenty of younger children in these flats who can read. What a charmer,” the man captioned his post in the CasualUK subreddit.
The notice, taped to a glass pain on the door, appeared to hit out a fellow resident’s bad habit. “To the old git – top, back flat!” it began, before issuing a threat. The sign continued: “Stop chucking your fag ends in the car park next door – I will smash your teeth out and feed them to you. My daughter has walk through your f*****g mess!”
Clearly intrigued, one Reddit user penned in response: “10/10 effort, 6/10 for planning the message as they ran out of space. The sublime use of ‘thru’ is the highlight. Would love to know the outcome, keep us posted!”
A second person quipped: “An astonishing combination of passive aggressive and regular aggressively aggressive.” Whilst a third fumed: “Nothing like a polite notice… Sadly this is nothing LIKE a polite notice.”
Others defended the note writer, however, including one who admitted: “I’m on the side of whoever wrote this. I live in a flat myself and the people above me chuck dozens of cigs into my garden every day (amongst other rubbish). Not only does it look and smell horrid but there are burn marks and holes in a bunch of my plants and furniture. I just want to enjoy my garden, which I clearly have put effort and care into.”
Whilst a second concurred: “Same. I’ve never understood why smokers think it’s OK to just drop fag ends. Like if they had a bag of crisps they wouldn’t just ditch the packet where they stood/out the window. Same with chocolate bar wrappers. Same with literally all other litter. What’s special about fag ends?”
The original poster later returned to provide an insight into the neighbouring shenanigans, meanwhile, revealing he suspects the identity of the not writer. “I know her handwriting,” he alleged. “She’s quite the piece of work.”
He continued, detailing her own smoking habit: “After a few months of living here, the two of us butted heads. She smokes weed and it was filling the corridor that kids walk through. My stepchildren included. Their mother came round one day, she’s hard work and could have made a case to stop us having the kids. This was a final straw for me. So I tried knocking on her door twice, no answer. Not rare for her because she cba to get off her lazy a**e.
“So I put a polite note through her door, asking her to put a towel under the door blocking the gap. It works for me when I occasionally smoke (normal fags), in my flat. I said who I was. She ignored the request and then started slagging me off to my neighbours who I’ve known for years.”
