A WOMAN has shared how her apartment block has gone into the ultimate “neighbour war” with multiple people leaving anonymous angry notes.
She took to Reddit to show the series of notes and sassy replies that had been taped to a window in a communal area.

The first person had stuck an angry message up that read: “Please stop smoking here!
“This is a smoke free apartment.
“It stinks up the whole building.”
Instead of apologising, someone had replied, writing on the bottom: “Make me.”
On a separate piece of paper, they had later added: “Maybe you should move.
“Plus your dogs stink up the whole building as well.
“We pay rent here too and we should have the right to do what we like.”
The woman had been shocked seeing this note as she was the dog owner but not the smoker, as the second person had assumed.
She explained: “I got pulled into our neighbors’ note war.
“Saw this note this morning and thought it was funny that we were the assumed note-leavers in the building.
“There’s been a constant note war going on for a year now where notes have been put up asking people to stop smoking in their apartments.
“Of course these don’t deter the smokers and the complex doesn’t have a no smoking policy. “We are the only dog owners and know this is how apartment living is like with the smoking.”
She clarified that the apartment doesn’t have a smoking policy for the person involved.
The woman added her own note into the mix, which read: “Hi, dog owners here.
“We are not involved with this. Rude.”

People were highly entertained by all the angry passive aggressive notes, and joined in the debate in the Reddit comments.
One person said: “I would just print out a laugh emoji or something.”
Another added: “I would have said hey I will try to get my dogs to stop smoking.”
And a third commented: “I love reading apartment drama like this I’m nosy af.”
