People stunned by neighbour’s ‘aggressive & sweary’ note to ‘old git’ upstairs say the rumpled duct tape ‘concerns’ them
AN UNIMPRESSED resident has shared an ‘aggressive’ and ‘sweary’ note they found stuck to the communal entrance of their flat block.
The anonymous foul-mouthed warning was taped to the shared front door of the UK flats by a mystery disgruntled neighbour.
The shocked poster shared the contents of the note to Reddit’s r/CasualUK thread, leaving people stunned.
User @emergency-Aardvark-6 uploaded a snap of the note, writing: “Sweary sign on the main door to my flats.
“Plenty of younger children in these flats who can read. What a charmer.”
The picture showed a handwritten note that had been attached to the door, using crumpled up strips of duct tape.
The author of the note had left it there to threaten a resident they suspected of throwing used cigarette ends into the car park below.
Keen to stop the litterbug from continuing their filthy behaviour, they decided to leave an anonymous threat, for all to see.
In all capitals, the note reads: “To the old git – top-back flat!!
“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 to walk through your f*****g mess!!”
The poster seemed unimpressed with the author’s approach to stopping the smoker from littering.
They pointed out that children living in the block might be able to read the violent note.
In the comment section, they pointed the finger at a nightmare neighbour they had previously ‘butted heads’ with themselves.
They claimed to recognise the handwriting of the note, and said that the suspected author was a ‘piece of work.’
Reddit users react
Other users were left horrified by the note’s aggressive tone and sinister threat.
Some were even left worried by the crumpled duct tape that had been used to stick the note to the door.
One person wrote: “The rumpled duct tape is giving me concerns.
“Suggests an unhinged mind.”
A second user commented: “Where there is duct tape, there [is] usually a shovel and tarpaulin nearby.
“I find the duct tape gives the message a wee bit of ooomph!”
While a third chimed in: “An astonishing combination of passive aggressive and regular aggressively aggressive.”
And somebody else added: “I like how they started with ‘git’ and ended up with ‘I’ll smash your f*****g teeth out.'”
