Living with roommates is always an adventure. It’s a mix of comedy, chaos, and learning how to share your space without losing your mind. Between the borrowed clothes, mystery dishes in the sink, and late-night noise, sometimes the best way to get your point across is by leaving a clever note. When words fail in person, a funny sign taped to the fridge can say it all.
From sticky notes stuck to the milk carton to bold messages warning against snack theft, people have come up with some seriously entertaining ways to communicate at home. These little bits of humor show that even when things get messy, laughter is the easiest way to keep the peace. Here are twenty of the silliest signs roommates have ever left for each other.

2. This also applies to boyfriends
3. “I broke my toilet a few times this year, so my roommate got this text from our landlord framed.”
4. This roommate was feeling a little passive-aggressive
5. When your roommates pick you up from the airport
6. “My roommate put this on our fridge.”

16. Only two people live in this apartment, so it must be a mystery pan
