Passive Aggressive Notes – have you ever sent or received one?
In my previous life, before Joe came along and the blogging started, I was a teacher for 12 years. And, in that time, I came across my fair share of passive aggressive behaviour in the form of notes.

For me, it is very simple, it has to be the current delivery services offered by online stores and companies. I will give you a clear example that has happened just this morning. I have had some boots delivered on a next door delivery service. Unfortunately, despite the fact that I will be in for the majority of the day, they have turned up just before 9am – the one period of the day I’m not in due to the school run. The boots are now sitting in a neighbour’s house,…
