People generally use their anonymity to pretend to be braver than they are. The Internet is like this, too, which might explain why these types of notes end on the web.

Feel the slow-simmering tension behind these 25 passive-aggressive notes. Perhaps the note showing up online will prompt the cathartic fight the situation demands.
