Optimus Prime Says So
Including a fictional character in a note is one of the best methods to make it less intimidating. Telling someone that their parking is “horrible” is one thing; having a fictitious extraterrestrial species of intelligent self-configuring modular robot do it is quite another. What we mean is that as long as you can sketch a crude representation of a fictional character, you can say whatever you want. Better yet, write “[the character] disapproves,” and they’ll take the blame instead of you.
Framing the Problem
We have to give it to this note creator because their inventive frame note is reusable, to the point, and rather amusing. This note is essentially a piece of paper with a hole cut out of the center. It wonderfully frames the problem at hand when placed on top of some filthy dishes, making it impossible to overlook. This note is enhanced by the caption, which makes the entire image feel like an anti-inspirational poster.
