Passive Aggressive Notes – funny notes from pissed-off people
PassiveAggressiveNotes.com is blog that posts “painfully polite and hilariously hostile writings from shared spaces the world over.” According to Passive Aggressive Notes:
We’re using a pretty broad definition of “passive-aggressive” that roughly correlates with how the term is popularly used… many of the notes found here aren’t really passive-aggressive even by our generous standards. Some of these notes are really more aggressive in tone, and some of them are more passive — polite, even — but for the most part they share a common sense of frustration that’s been channeled into written form rather than a direct confrontation. It’s barbed criticism disguised as something else — helpful advice, a funny joke, simple forgetfulness… If you enjoy railing against the flagrant abuse of the English language, you’ll find yourself very much at home here.

Cake Wrecks – when professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong
Do you love a beautifully decorated cake? How about an attempted beautifully decorated cake that went horribly wrong some where along the way? CakeWrecks.blogspot.com is a blog that posts highly amusing cakes that just aren’t quite right. According to Cake Wrecks:
A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate – you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it’s simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I’m not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
All of the cake photos are user submitted, so if you’ve seen a good Cake Wreck you can send it in.
