Are you tired of getting your sticky notes ignored when you leave messages for co-workers and loved ones? Well, with these seriously [snarky sticky notes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youll-swear-by-them) from the Neatoshop, you can let people know how you really feel about things.

The funny sticky notes sport messages such as "Seriously?," "AHA!," "Oy Vey," and my personal favorite, "You're a Putz." Each sticky note also comes with a check box on the bottom with messages such as "no, seriously." I don't think I've ever seen stationery that is more appropriate for warning that jerk in the office who is always stealing your lunch from the communal fridge.

As the description on the Neatoshop page puts it, the stationery ensures "that even the smallest stuff gets noticed with these clever sticky notes. They're just as colorful and witty as your brilliant (or mundane) thoughts."
