And a lot more creativity than that comment. Congrats on being first, though!

It’s always an option…
September 6, 2011 at 1:41 pm
No, but you shouldn’t expect us to find you clever, either.
September 6, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Actually, if memory serves, this is the part where you get insulted by ALL the jealous, drunken, obese Regretsians who can think of a clever retort based upon what you’ve offered us. Not giving us much to work with… ; )
September 6, 2011 at 1:50 pm
This is the part where we tell you that we’d rather hear a cunt whistle at a loved ones funeral than listen to the first regurgitated line you could think of before anyone else could post. Being insulted is, as unseeliepixie said, merely a choice.
September 6, 2011 at 2:00 pm
Oooo!!! Ooooo!!! I feel a new butthurt flounce coming on!!!!
September 6, 2011 at 3:47 pm
@KnitwitKnerd Cunts can whistle? I knew they queefed but whistle? I love that Regretsy is so educational.

FIRST!
September 6, 2011 at 2:05 pm
C’mon guys, I think Miss Hamster Huey was being ironically mocking with this comment, so I gave her a thumbs-up. You need only look at the 8-minute lag time between the “real” first comment and this one and I feel, this makes a statement on the ridiculous first comment, which was just a lame rehash of a meaningless post, just to be the first one.
And really, could a face that cute and adorbs say anything flounce-worthy? No!
September 6, 2011 at 2:08 pm
Yah, I was thinking “wow – even ironically, that’s like walking out onto the driving range.”
September 6, 2011 at 4:43 pm
Also, it’s a REPLY to the first comment, so clearly she knew she wasn’t actually first.
I will now return you to your regularly scheduled fuckery.
September 6, 2011 at 1:35 pm
In the office, no less, which says a lot about the modern cubicle-dweller.
September 6, 2011 at 1:32 pm
I need to get an office job so that I can do this.
September 6, 2011 at 1:38 pm
An office job and a near-endless supply of different colored Post-Its. I’ve always been lucky to get yellow. Sigh, government work. At least I can make Space Invaders.
September 6, 2011 at 1:48 pm
Private industry here, and we get two different shades of yellow, depending on whether we get the “real” Post-its or the cheap-o brand. So…promise you won’t tell anyone? I go out and buy my own colorful ones and then decide which docs should have which color. Crappy document to a favorite person? Pink or lavender. Crappy document to an unfavorite person? Fluourescent green and stop-you’re-burning-my-retinas yellow. Crappy document to a REALLY crappy person: Blue ink ON DARK BLUE or PURPLE!
I go out and buy my own color pens sometimes, too. Purple, sky blue, HOT PINK!!!
At least I’m not the only one here who hoards “special” paper clips, such as striped or, ooooh, GOLD-COLORED!
Yeah, I really need a life outside this job. I expend way too much energy on the details.
September 6, 2011 at 2:25 pm
Mugsy, I think you should go to work for a paint company, naming their colors. There’s a place for “stop-you’re-burning-my-retinas yellow.” I can see the paint sample now…..
September 6, 2011 at 2:31 pm
I used to get colored STAPLES. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a store that carries a non-metallic green staple? I also still love my super-sticky post-its in various sizes, and teeny tiny binder clips. Pretty sure that gets me a special prize in the office-nerd olympics!
September 6, 2011 at 2:39 pm
@Fluffermom: I once did that for fun (but not with paints). I worked in the same building as the J.Crew offices. A coworker and I took a catalogue and we nearly had a stroke from laughing over the different names they gave to colors (how many variations on “white” and “black” can one come up with?). My favorite was “flag” (which was a red, I think).
And when my coworker returned from vacation, he found a dozen little Post-its all over his office with the color of the item listed: Beige, Branch, Taupe, Sand, Stone, Rock, Boulder. Twig. The joke was that they were all on his monochromatic-and-matching wall and lampshade.
September 6, 2011 at 2:43 pm
@Houndsofgrey—Do you have tiny little PALE BLUE binder clips? Huh? I’m looking at one right now.
One of my vendors uses PURPLE staples. I’m SO envious!
The building management here likes to give out “tenant appreciation gifts” every year one year it was “office in a box”–teeny, tiny little clips and tape and skinny yellow highlighting tape and a itsy-bitsy little stapler, with staples. Sure, they were silver, but they were itsy-bitsy I have little (ha!) use for them, but I can’t give them away.
September 6, 2011 at 2:46 pm
Oh man, I have a “special” paperclip hoard too. In an awesome little small size zip lock bag thing. My co-workers think I’m nuts. My current faves are large paperclips with a clear plastic coating. So awesome!!!
September 6, 2011 at 2:51 pm
I have teeny Canadian binder clips. They’ve got the little maple leaf on them. I don’t know why I own these things, as I’m not Canadian and I’m pretty sure I bought them in Denver. My tiny clips come in a variety of colors and themes, and I’ve got gold ones so small they hold less than a standard paperclip. I also can’t believe I’m admitting to this, but what the hell – it’s not like any of you will recognize me on the street and shame me!
September 6, 2011 at 3:02 pm
@Houndsofgrey: You win. I bow to your awesome collection of tiny maple leave binder clips.
September 6, 2011 at 3:10 pm
I know there’s a joke here that only I can tell, but it’s just not coming to me.
September 6, 2011 at 3:52 pm
I love everyone eccentricities. I will not use pink high-liters, and don’t like any pens but black or red. (No I don’t care if red ink causes you stress, you are in fucking law school & there is more here to scare you than red pens).
September 6, 2011 at 4:10 pm
apparently for the linked image 3M supplied the post-its:

September 6, 2011 at 4:32 pm
Sriped paper clips? I knew there was something anally special about you Mugs.
September 6, 2011 at 4:33 pm
Duh…Striped
September 6, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Yay, I am not the only office supply nerd! A co-worker and I used to “fight” over the baby binder clips a vendor would send on documents. One of my favorite things now is a combination black ballpoint/highlighter/post-it flag pen. It’s made of glittery pink plastic, too!
September 6, 2011 at 6:55 pm
I used to make these MASSIVE paper clip chains that would just royally piss off my boss LOL I couldn’t help it, give me a box of paper clips and nothing else to do but answer the phone and vowla you get a handy dandy paper clip chain for FREE! I also used to make rubber band balls and massive clumps of binder clips (I wanted to see how many I could attach together). Some may see it as a colossal waste of time but what they don’t realize is these were last ditch efforts to maintain my sanity while resisting the urge to slam my head repeatedly on my desk until quitting time.
September 6, 2011 at 7:09 pm
@Fluffermom Does your name mean what I think it means? Cause that would be… odd.
September 6, 2011 at 7:55 pm
All of you watched to much Sesame Street, and got hooked on Burt’s paperclip collection. Lol, of course I can’t talk, I always need paper clips, so I hoard them every chance I get.
September 6, 2011 at 10:43 pm
BTW, I think one of you has my stapler…
September 7, 2011 at 5:24 am
I’ve got you all beat. I have . . .
AIRPLANE SHAPED VINYL COATED PAPERCLIPS!!!!!
If someone will give me a quick HTML tute I’ll be happy to post a picture.

@Blackgermanshepherd: Don’t worry about it. I read your first post a “I always knew there was something special about you.”
Then I went back and read “something anally special”
I really don’t know what to say…”thank you” just doesn’t seem sufficient, somehow. :\
September 6, 2011 at 8:13 pm
@pinkfizzy, in answer to your question: no. That aspect didn’t even occur to me until two days after I’d signed up, looked at my username, and thought, “huh!”
September 7, 2011 at 12:11 pm
Make sure it’s a job with OfficeMax or some such – you get ALL the cool office supplies.
I worked @ OM when it was Boise Cascade. GOD I loves office supply order time. My boss kicked ass too, as she was even more nerdy about her supplies – she’d buy us all the gel pens, glo-in-the-dark stuff, etc. Sigh…..good times….
September 6, 2011 at 1:34 pm
“Bob spent weeks perfecting his post-it mosaic. Steve took only seconds in firing him for wasting company time, and resources.”
Seriously, though, I think those are neat, and their creators must work at some pretty awesome places to allow that.
September 6, 2011 at 1:35 pm
Pedo perfect
September 6, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Though I’d be terrified if I came to work in the morning and that was there to greet me.
September 6, 2011 at 4:52 pm
Child Protective Services office?
September 6, 2011 at 8:01 pm
‘Toddlers and Tiaras’ production house offices.
September 6, 2011 at 7:11 pm
An office where you can make a Pedobear out of Post’ItsTM on the windows is a happy and productive office.
September 6, 2011 at 9:02 pm
Probably wouldn’t fly in my elementary school office.
September 6, 2011 at 1:36 pm
Duck Hunt!
September 6, 2011 at 1:48 pm
I always wanted a version where you could shoot the dog. Especially when he laughed at you. Stupid dog was just asking for it.
September 6, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Everyone has TRIED shooting the duck-hunt dog. That’s how you know you can’t. ; )
September 6, 2011 at 7:08 pm
Actually, now you can:-D
http://i-mockery.com/minimocks/duckhunt/
I actually suck worst at this than shooting the damn ducks LOL
September 7, 2011 at 12:01 am
Culinary, I think I love you for this. That bastard is going down.
September 6, 2011 at 8:32 pm
It really seems to me like whoever put that in their window is asking for the window to be shot in. Maybe they need new ones and want the insurance to pay.

Flounce?
September 6, 2011 at 1:45 pm
One can only hope!
September 6, 2011 at 2:32 pm
I’ve been meaning to flounce, like, forever. I’ve been studying the art of the flounce, and I want to give it a shot. Here:
I’ve had it with you unfunny lowlife hacks. Maybe if you spent more of your time creyating artistic works you wouldn’t have os much time too sit around insluting the hard working artists and innovaters who make works on etsy for everyone to enjoy.
I shall not be enjoying your websuit henceforth any further, and you will receive an official legal notice to this affect forthwith.
Sincerely,
Disappointed
September 6, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Needs more personal attacks than unfunny lowlife hacks. Like some conjecture about WHY we’re unfunny lowlife hacks, which, of course, is because we’re child beating libertarians (like ALL libertarians). Keep working at it, you’ll have a top-notch flounce in no time.
September 6, 2011 at 3:06 pm
INSLUTING! Love the new verb. So, does that mean you introduce sluts somewhere and then establish a colony of sluts?
Q: Hey, what do you get when sluts renew their slutness?
A: Resluts!
September 6, 2011 at 3:56 pm
@Rev.etc. It was a good try, but where are the CAPITAL LETTERS, the legal threats, the profanity. I’m afraid that you aren’t enough of a mormon to give really good flounce.
September 6, 2011 at 3:56 pm
Rev, you spelled “of” wrong. Everyone knows it’s spelled “ov.”
September 6, 2011 at 3:58 pm
@Mugsy A colony of sluts, is that like a flock of birds or a school of fish?
September 6, 2011 at 4:36 pm
I Recry for Redead Resluts.
September 6, 2011 at 4:51 pm
I’m pretty sure that last word is actually spelled “fourthwiv”, leaving the ‘e’ off the end for emphasis.
September 6, 2011 at 5:01 pm
Rev, sweet use of ‘websuit’ and ‘affect’ among other efforts, but generally your spelling and grammar are way too good for a fine flounce.
September 6, 2011 at 5:43 pm
I didn’t realise anyone had been enjoying my wetsuit.
Will I have to clean up some stuff?
September 7, 2011 at 12:10 am
It really lacked something. I mean it was a good try, but it just didn’t feel like you heart/hate was really in it. You really have to feel the self-righteous indignation and butthurt(if you aren’t into anal, I know where you can get some de-boned foxtailed butthurt) let us know how we have wronged you and show us the error of our fat jelous loser ways. Keep trying. You’ll get the hang of it.
September 6, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Don’t mind if I do!
September 6, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Yikes! I misunderstood. I thought WE were supposed to flounce the troll. Sorry!
September 6, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Trolls don’t flounce
September 6, 2011 at 9:03 pm
Sometimes you can provoke them into leaving in an entertaining froth of indignation, though. I’ve been on threads where everyone joined in making fun of the troll (rather than taking them seriously) and, wow, is that entertaining.
September 6, 2011 at 9:04 pm
Flounces don’t look good on trolls.
September 6, 2011 at 9:46 pm
We’re all fucking trolls…fat ugly jealous loser hag trolls dying of Communism and crying over dead birds…who are we kidding? Stand proud!
September 6, 2011 at 10:02 pm
Proudly wearing our flounces!
September 6, 2011 at 1:44 pm
You do realize it says nothing about how long they worked on them. It could have been a slow project, or something that only took like 5 minutes because multiple people worked together. Gosh.
September 6, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Seriously, who shit in your Corn Flakes this morning? Some office jobs actually do encourage creativity in the workplace to keep morale, productivity and, dur, creativity at a plus.
September 6, 2011 at 4:39 pm
It beats doing those teamwork retreats.
September 7, 2011 at 12:13 pm
HELL of a lot cheaper, as well…
September 6, 2011 at 1:53 pm
I see you are a member of the school of management that came up with, “The beatings will improve until morale improves.”
September 6, 2011 at 2:08 pm
I think you mean “The beatings will continue until the morale improves.”
If the beatings improves, the morale would automatically improve, no? Oh, wait, that’s what you said the first time.
Never mind.
September 6, 2011 at 3:08 pm
This covers it because it works both ways. The morale will continue until the beatings improve.
September 6, 2011 at 9:06 pm
I like “the beatings will improve.” That’s SO what I look for in a man.
September 6, 2011 at 9:47 pm
I see what you did there.
September 6, 2011 at 1:58 pm
Haven’t most of us held some bullshit office position as assistant-to-the-assistant VP of some made-up-ass-title, where real work ebbed and flowed like the tides? But regardless, these guys don’t really need defending.
What’s important is that they gave us Pedobear in an exciting, sticky new medium. It’s like, they gave us something and they didn’t even want anything in return. Beautiful.
September 6, 2011 at 3:53 pm
It is a hell of a lot better than placenta pictures!
September 6, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Pedobear was MEANT to be sticky.
September 6, 2011 at 2:07 pm
I’m betting it was done on a series of lunch breaks, probably with a side bet with their fellow cubicle slaves as to how long it would be before the boss understood it – or even spotted it.
September 7, 2011 at 7:22 am
It actually started with the operations manager of Ubisoft Paris, who put post-it art on her window facing the BNP Paribas building… and the people in the bank responded, to Ubisoft’s delight and amazement. La contagion Post-it War
But I know that in my husband’s office (and others with a central courtyard/air shaft) the game is to guerilla hit someone’s window when they go out for a few minutes alone. Unfortunately, I don’t work in an office and have lived this entire war vicariously through my husband and clients!
September 6, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Flounce or fuck off will ya?
September 6, 2011 at 2:23 pm
Can I do both? Please?
September 6, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Flouck off?
September 6, 2011 at 4:43 pm
You are about to log in to the site “eckerlingdesign.com” with the username “jordan”, but the website does not require authentication. This may be an attempt to trick you.
Is “eckerlingdesign.com” the site you want to visit?
???
September 6, 2011 at 4:55 pm
We still think that a fuck-off sounds like a contest, like a dance off or a bake off.
Who wants to sponsor the first annual Regretsy Fuck-Off?
September 6, 2011 at 6:52 pm
I am hoping to make it to the qualifying round…Oh wait…I think I there…
September 6, 2011 at 9:07 pm
Flounce or get off the pot!
September 6, 2011 at 5:38 pm
Awww, you’ve just got your panties all in a bunch because you can’t figure out how to do a post-it picture. And probably because everybody thinks you’re a cockgobbler since you had to go and make an unfunny, uppity, hateful bitch remark. Don’t hate…
September 6, 2011 at 7:14 pm
haterz gon hayte
September 6, 2011 at 10:47 pm
pinkfizzy, How the heck did you get that past the Gatemaster? He must still be hazy from Burning Man?
September 6, 2011 at 9:51 pm
My panties always bunch up when I set out to cockgobble…
September 7, 2011 at 9:53 am
Dear fluffy lord meatballs, I hope nobody ever lets you be a supervisor. If they do, your employees will want to kill you slowly with dull office scissors.
There’s a lot of spare time at many workplaces, and a harmless activity that encourages creativity and having fun (AKA “team building”) with your co-workers is a pretty good way to use it. I should not have had to explain the above to any human with half a brain, but since you are plainly operating at puritan caveman level, I’ll make an exception just for you.
September 6, 2011 at 1:37 pm
Bubble Bobble rawks. TOTALLY deserves to be the first image.
September 6, 2011 at 1:37 pm
My band kiddies would enjoy this. Especially since we had a 15 minute discussion on space-invaders during class today. I think I’m going to do some post-it’s on my office window today…
I love my job
Thanks!!
September 6, 2011 at 6:42 pm
I know what I’m doing in my cubicle tomorrow.
September 6, 2011 at 9:10 pm
I know what I’m doing with my choir tomorrow.
September 6, 2011 at 1:37 pm
This gives me a wonderful idea for communicating with the construction workers working on the next building. I need an angry pixelated face for them….
September 6, 2011 at 1:50 pm
How about a Goatse rendered in Post-its? Use the small ones for extra-special details!
September 6, 2011 at 3:59 pm
I was thinking of a one finger salute.
September 6, 2011 at 9:11 pm
Just what I was about to say! Yer brilliant.
September 6, 2011 at 1:37 pm
I see things like this in SF all the time, I think it’s grand.
I wish I was creative enough to make some.
September 6, 2011 at 2:52 pm
Don’t wish you were creative! Be creative! I think all you’d need is some graph paper to map it out. Then go hard!
September 6, 2011 at 3:48 pm
I like your attitude, Teacherlady! Your students are lucky.
September 6, 2011 at 11:52 pm
I’m usually too drunk. I get so far as the cabinet and then I forget that I was after it to get the post-its.
September 6, 2011 at 1:38 pm
I hope this starts up as a trend; it’s so much better than that stupid planking thing that went around.
September 6, 2011 at 1:41 pm
*sigh* “planking”
you know, long before that was the term being banded around it was called The Lying Down Game.
Interesting fact – If you search “The lying down game” on Google images, one of the top results is a man in a jacuzzi/hot tub. That’s me.
September 6, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Of course I had to look that up…. nice ass Sam
September 6, 2011 at 9:13 pm
It IS a nice ass. *spank spank*
September 6, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Maybe on Google U.K., but you’re not on Google U.S.A.! I didn’t realize Google was so regional.
September 6, 2011 at 2:01 pm
he IS on Google USA, I found him first try (though his photo was 5th)
September 6, 2011 at 2:05 pm
No, he’s on Google USA all right. Did you search Google Images? He’s in the first row.
September 6, 2011 at 2:06 pm
I concur, Rachel1787. Enjoy a little surprise assular area now and again.
September 6, 2011 at 2:10 pm
I was teasing, guys. I’d just finished reading the Twitter contest results and I had a little misinformation I wanted to exhibit! (True story!)
September 6, 2011 at 2:24 pm
OK, I went back and really DID Google…and oh, my! Definitely worth the trouble. Thanks for sharing, Sam!
September 6, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Yes, that IS an interesting fact! That, and one of your buttocks seems to be more buoyant than the other.
And I did have to look up the spelling for buoyant and it was so worth it.
Thanks Sam!
September 6, 2011 at 2:12 pm
I have to concur with the others. That is a rather spectacular ass!
September 6, 2011 at 3:00 pm
Cheeky monkey!
September 6, 2011 at 3:17 pm
It rather looks like you’re dead though… sadness.
On a happier note… cute tushie!
September 6, 2011 at 9:17 pm
Ooooohh – just found the makes-me-cringe word I hate! Thanks, DD!
September 6, 2011 at 3:19 pm
Only somewhat related:
MOON RIVER
hee hee
September 6, 2011 at 9:15 pm
That’s ass-tastic!
September 6, 2011 at 4:35 pm
I found you on Bing as well!
September 6, 2011 at 4:53 pm
Hey-zeus Crisco, Sam you gots a nice ass!
And I say that as a purely artistic comment. If I were to allow emotions to intervene, I’d be depressed that another perfect human has outclassed me.
September 6, 2011 at 7:00 pm
Prove it
September 6, 2011 at 7:09 pm
I think we need a “Sam’s Ass Tuesday” started up.
Sam, you’re going to have to take a lot more photos of your ass in various situations and post them here.
September 6, 2011 at 9:15 pm
I concur. This MUST happen. I will join the Church of Sam’s Ass.
September 6, 2011 at 9:44 pm
I agree! Such a wonderfully pinchable ass should visit us regularly.
September 6, 2011 at 9:57 pm
…and here I thought it was your accent I adored…
September 7, 2011 at 12:17 pm
Have ya SEEN owling?? OMFG….it’s even dumber than planking – it kinda looks more like “kid taking a shit over a railing” than “owling.”
September 6, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Hah, pedobear is my fave.
September 6, 2011 at 1:38 pm
omg the BEAR hahaaahahah DOH! xD
September 6, 2011 at 1:38 pm
We had a war going between 3 buildings for awhile with my company being one of them.

September 6, 2011 at 3:13 pm
This is terrific! Of course there had to be some butthurt shown, ’cause trolls don’t like anyone to have fun. Glad I’m not a troll.
I think my favorite is Mario and the ladder (and top/bottom trim). Was that your office?
September 6, 2011 at 6:25 pm
naw, mine was the less inspired 1-up and mario star. Speaking of butthurt; I get to the office early and put it up in the breakroom before most people get in. A couple weeks later apparently one of my coworkers got annoyed with it and tore all the post-its down in a huff. It made microwaving my sad lunch much more entertaining.
September 7, 2011 at 5:32 am
Q-BERT!!!!!!
September 7, 2011 at 12:19 pm
LOVE the Joust one…
September 6, 2011 at 1:38 pm
And I’m sure they are using company office supplies, too…
But maybe these are all offices of the 3M corporation, right?
September 6, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Have you ever worked in an office? Missing Post It notes are the least of their worries. Lord knows I have a shoe box full of crappy office supplies I’ll never use.
Shit, we once ordered the same printer as the one I had at a place I used to work at just so we didn’t have to buy ink…
September 6, 2011 at 2:43 pm
I read on another site about the Post It War that 3M France had actually sent the boxes of Post Its to different companies so they could do the murals, which is a pretty creative form of viral marketing.
September 6, 2011 at 2:46 pm
And excellent for morale, as well.
September 6, 2011 at 1:39 pm
What sort of sicko makes paedo-bear yellow?
September 6, 2011 at 1:46 pm
The same sicko who thinks immediately of paedo-bear as first choice for a post-it mural.
September 6, 2011 at 1:55 pm
I love you Brits and your adorable language! “Paedo-bear” sounds so scientific and classy!
September 6, 2011 at 2:02 pm
I have a friend from Wisconsin who insists that if I continue to spell the word as “diarrhoea,” then he will henceforth refer to his pasta as “spaghoetti.”
September 6, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Shouldn’t that be “spaeghetti”?
And “Trolls don’t flounce” needs to be a T-shirt.
September 6, 2011 at 4:07 pm
If they’re really going for effect, it should be spæghoetti.
September 6, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Then you’d get a chance to use two of those cute little combo letters in one word- spæghœtti!
Seriously, I love those things. Christ, I’m a fuckin’ nerd.
September 6, 2011 at 4:55 pm
I had to go to nursing school to learn the proper US spelling of diarrhea; don’t go messing me up with them furrin’ spellinks.
September 6, 2011 at 2:04 pm
Someone needs to write to 3M and ask them to make brown Post-its. Just tell them what it’s for and they’ll wonder why they didn’t think of it sooner.
September 6, 2011 at 2:40 pm
They do! Well, kind of a tan-brown..

This probably makes work so much fun for them!
September 6, 2011 at 1:42 pm
I tried that once at my old job, we sold toilet paper. Nobody was really impressed with my “How Now Brown Cow” mural made out of Angel Soft….
September 6, 2011 at 1:43 pm
well you can rejoice. i am impressed.
September 6, 2011 at 2:00 pm
As I am with your screen name! (One of my favorite movies of all time.)
September 6, 2011 at 1:43 pm
HA! That’s one of the neatest things I’ve seen in a while! Wish I’d thought of it when I worked in an office.
It also immediately reminded me of this for some reason – Human Space Invaders: http://youtu.be/VczbbiRmDik
They also did a Human Tetris one that’s really cool: http://youtu.be/G0LtUX_6IXY
September 7, 2011 at 12:21 pm
LOVE those videos. That’s some dedication to theme…
September 6, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Duck hunt and Ghostbusters is pretty awesome, but I MUST replicate the Bubble-Bobble one on my work vehicle in mini post-its. ; )
September 6, 2011 at 1:45 pm
I’m going to do this on my windows…not Pedobear though…
September 6, 2011 at 1:47 pm
Goatse then? ; )
September 6, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Do it all anonymously, including Pedobear, and then sit back and gleefully listen for how many people are repulsed, and how many people cluelessly exclaim, “That is SUCH a cute bear!”
September 6, 2011 at 1:51 pm
On the back of each post it, there is a passive aggressive note. Thats what post its are for, right?
September 6, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Man, why does all the cool office shit only happen on the internet? I have total office envy now.
September 6, 2011 at 1:52 pm
I see a post-it CF4L in the future. I would love if someone who worked at etsy did it in their window, with only organic, upcycled tofu post-its with whale safe adhesive…of course.
September 6, 2011 at 5:29 pm
Since they live in the water, wouldn’t trying to use adhesive on a whale be doomed to failure? Assuming you weren’t using staples or stick-pins.
September 6, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Im going to make a post-it shotgun, and get that snickering dog! My childhood was ruined by that dog snickering at me!
September 6, 2011 at 1:54 pm
At the same time, these post-its are the best use of post-its….EVER!
September 6, 2011 at 9:24 pm
Tied for first.
http://www.alltooflat.com/pranks/postits/
September 7, 2011 at 9:50 am
I read this quickly, so maybe my question is moot—did they find a pad of Post-its already in the apartment and label them “Post-its”?
September 6, 2011 at 2:11 pm
Can you explain that dog to me? Maybe I’m too old to have had it part of my childhood.
Thanks…and that’s ok, you can play on my lawn!
September 6, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Mugsy, that’s the damned smug pup that popped up from behind a tuft of grass to laugh at you whenever you screwed up at “Duck Hunt” (a classic Nintendo game).
I hated that damned dog.
September 6, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Thanks, PaganChick. I was an Atari girl…which shows you how old I am, but even though, he IS an annoying-looking little mongrel!
September 6, 2011 at 3:20 pm
LMAO Mugsy, I was damned near a teenager before we had our first encounter with an Atari. My dad used to get stoned and try to play Asteroids, though he insisted on calling the asteroids “trucks”. Never could figure out why.
September 6, 2011 at 4:03 pm
I had the original Nintendo with Robbi The Robot. Never fucking worked. I learned how to play Gyromite with two hands and controllers.
September 6, 2011 at 1:56 pm
This reminds me of a MIT hack from a few years ago.
September 6, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Damn, I seem to have forgotten HTML.
It’s here:

Now for more coffee.
September 6, 2011 at 3:26 pm
AHHHHH! It’s TROGDOR the BURNINATOR!!
You, ma’am/sir/being of amazingness, have added the cherry on top this fantastic post of post-its and flouncery.
September 6, 2011 at 5:05 pm
*hides peasants*
September 6, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Those are so awesome. I think my office needs some Post-It art. I should mention I work from home.
September 6, 2011 at 2:39 pm
As do I. I’m wondering in which window to put the goatse that will make the HOA shit the most.
September 6, 2011 at 3:21 pm
Front window, especially if you have one that has a landscaping light to draw attention to it even after dark
September 6, 2011 at 4:57 pm
You’re a genius PaganChick. I’ve also been thinking about the bedroom window. While it doesn’t face the front, the HOA prez can see it driving down the street on her way home from work.
September 6, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Ooo, any day you can fuck with an HOA is a damned good day!! I hate those motherfuckers with a white hot passion. Keep us posted (heh).
September 6, 2011 at 9:25 pm
Yeah! Damn HOA Muthafuckas!
September 6, 2011 at 4:28 pm
Same here! Though I might just brainstorm til about January or so. The Chicago winters and attendant cabin fever make me extremely nutty (even though I grew up in Wisconsin and should be used to this shit), and I can always use a good goofy project to keep me somewhat sane.
September 7, 2011 at 12:25 pm
I was thinking it’s a new way to decorate for the holidays….but you’re right, with winter coming….hmmm….
September 6, 2011 at 2:00 pm
These are from France, right? God bless those cheese-eating surrender monkeys.
September 6, 2011 at 3:16 pm
France…where children are taught “I give up!” in 27 different languages before they’re out of kindergarten.
September 6, 2011 at 4:01 pm
I heard that they give up on learning all 27 somewhere around 14 or 15 languages in.
September 6, 2011 at 4:09 pm
@Aliceblue, I love you!
Now I want to go watch episodes of ‘Allo, ‘Allo.
September 6, 2011 at 9:25 pm
You rock & kick ass, Mugsy! Love that show.
September 6, 2011 at 2:04 pm
The closest I ever came to doing something like this was a “birthday banner” out of those “pop-up post-it notes” (or as my colleagues call them, “stickies”)…
September 6, 2011 at 2:12 pm
That is awesome!
September 6, 2011 at 2:21 pm
If only I’d been able to walk into an office building with pics of space invaders or Waldo, I think I’d have been a much happier worker. (I’d be squealing, “I found Waldo!” every damn morning; co-workers would probably get pissed after a while, but I’d still be thrilled!)
September 7, 2011 at 12:36 pm
When I worked at Large Chain Bookstore, we once got in a display of Where’s Waldo books with some promotional items. There was a little cardboard Waldo, about 7-8in tall. We had a game of Where’s Waldo going on in the store for a good 4 months.
September 6, 2011 at 2:27 pm
I wish I had pics of my first dorm room. I did every wall up with post its. A tree, a snowman, and a stocking I think. Plus post it snowflake explosion, with a trail leading up to my room. At least until someone burned the edge of one of my snowflakes outside my room (the staircase that lead to my single and nothing else), then the ones outside my room came down.
September 6, 2011 at 2:59 pm
I hung Star Wars snowflakes on my door.
http://dancell.cwahi.net/star-wars-paper-snowflakes-instructions.html
There was one with Rebel Insignias at the ends, but I can’t find a pattern for that one.
September 6, 2011 at 3:19 pm
These are SO cool!!
September 6, 2011 at 3:31 pm
I’ve just found my xmas classroom art. Man…I need to start looking at these posts in more detail. All you fat, jealous, slag losers are setting me up with class decorations and lesson plans.
Upon placing an abstract of goatse on the overhead “Discuss”
As I run away to the staff room and pour vodka into my coffee…just like any good teacher
September 6, 2011 at 3:49 pm
I had a teacher just like you in 7th grade. At least, until he got arrested for showing an 8mm porn flick to all the girls in class, while the boys went off for their little chat on the evils of STDs.
September 6, 2011 at 9:27 pm
Teacherlady, have you seen those individual serving Target wine boxes? They look exactly like juice boxes. Probably wouldn’t take much doctoring….
And thanks for the idea of using this for lesson planning. My living room will look so much more interesting now.
September 6, 2011 at 5:51 pm
I’m putting those Darth Vader ones on my Christmas tree. Thanks!
September 6, 2011 at 2:43 pm
The Nemo is the God damned best.
September 6, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Also, not sure if it’s been said before, but this truly turns workplace theft and waste into an art form.
September 6, 2011 at 2:46 pm
We did this in the dorms at my school. I had Pac-Man and Pinky first, then a friend of mine did Yoshi. My window faced the parking lot so everyone saw it.
September 6, 2011 at 2:51 pm
One of the few things really endearing about humans is our willingness to piss away vast amounts of time & energy on goofy shit like this. Except for the Pedobear. That’s just wrong. What kind of office IS that, anyway?
September 6, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Hopefully not a pediatrician’s office. That would just be *so* wrong.
September 7, 2011 at 8:47 am
Um, the BEST kind?

These are amazing, but I really want the furniture in the Ghostbusters lobby. Please deliver, or I put Slimer back. Your choice.
September 6, 2011 at 3:29 pm
“Wait, let me write that down. Hey, has anybody seen the Post…oh, never mind. FOUND’EM.”
September 6, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Makes me remember my first day at my first job. I was getting desk supplies and asked for post-its. My request was denied because “each post-it costs about ONE CENT and they were not in the budget. They admins would keel over in horror at this.
September 6, 2011 at 5:10 pm
My company occasionally sends staff to provide administrative support for one of our clients. They always ask us to bring Post-Its and binder clips because their supply-mongers won’t order any. I hope this isn’t why!
September 6, 2011 at 5:04 pm
I’ve just realised that the reason my primary school craft stall failed so hard is because it was too Etsy before Etsy even existed.
September 6, 2011 at 5:47 pm
Anyone found Post-it animations yet?
September 6, 2011 at 5:51 pm
Hmm, I order the office supplies for our office, and I unpack them when they get there, and my purse sits on my desk which is right next to the supply cabinet….hmmm, I have big windows in my house too, one of which faces a very well traveled road. This might become my CF4L mission next week…
September 7, 2011 at 1:18 am
Don’t you just hate when office supplies fall into your purse and you accidentally take them home and are just too embarrassed to bring them back?
September 6, 2011 at 5:55 pm
Somebody get on this and do an outstanding cf4l please!!
September 6, 2011 at 7:06 pm
I have to admit I squee’d a little when I saw the Bubble Bobble dinosaur at the top. As a pixel artist and long-time Regretsy fan, I WHOLLY APPROVE of this post.
September 6, 2011 at 9:29 pm
More awesome uses for postits….. (pos tits?)
http://www.alltooflat.com/pranks/postits/
September 7, 2011 at 4:20 am
I’m quite certain the office manager at my work would shit nails if someone did this with all the Post-Its.
Naturally, I’d like to test out my hypothesis.
September 7, 2011 at 1:09 pm
Wow, here I was expecting a picture in the comments of a post-it window with the letters “CF4L” — maybe on the other site?
Oh, and please, April, please make a post-it war contest. I want to see goatse post-it pics
September 9, 2011 at 9:55 pm
Some people have all the luck. I wish I could do that at work!
