41 Of The Trashiest Things People Have Put In Writing
My late, great Aunt Imelda used to say, 'You don't need to write down every thought for the world to see. Some things can be just for you, you goddamn stupid idiot!' Aunt Imelda was verbally abusive, but she was right. Then again, she didn't exactly follow her own advice and once sent me a note that read, 'You must be from an ugly side of the family we don't know about.' She was a mean old bat, and honestly, I'm glad she's dead. Anyway, here are 41 incredibly trashy things people put in writing: First, there's this note from a scumbag husband: This sign, which has got to be the trashiest form of guerilla marketing ever (don't bother using the QR code — it just goes to a realtor's ad): And this T-R-A-S-H-Y message some sorority girls hanged outside their sorority house (Megan, call your parents): This write-up about a woman at a Taylor Swift concert has to be read to be believed: This listing — trying to sell a plastic bottle for a grand, saying it'll bring you back to the "Pre-Covid Pre-Woke" days — is 🙄 (and the misspelling of "original" is the least of its problems): And this posting announcing this driver's license office in Alabama is taking the day off to celebrate Confederate Memorial something else: They're not the only states to celebrate this in 20-freaking-25, believe it or not. Some that "celebrate":Mississippi observes it on the last Monday in April with state offices closed. South Carolina recognizes Confederate Memorial Day on May 10 with state offices closed in observance. Texas observes "Confederate Heroes Day" (heroes?!?!?!) on Jan. 19 (also Robert E. Lee's birthday). It remains an official state I don't mean to beat up on the South too much, but whoever made this shirt and anyone who wears it also belong on this list: Also trashy? This note WRITTEN ON A MENSTRUAL PAD!!! (I wonder how bad a parking job it was for her to break out her pad and pen): And this note from a cheap-ass customer will infuriate you in so many ways: This WILD story — maybe a scam to get fired so he could keep the deposit? — could not be any trashier (I've transcribed this wall of text into an easier to read format below): "After seeing someone else post on here about [name blurred] (IMC) I thought I'd share my awful experience with him as well to raise awareness in hopes people avoid in the future!!I did put this in the comments of the original post as well, but thought I'd give it its own post too just so it showed up if anyone searched his name in come out to mine to quote me for a job back in February/March, seemed lovely at first and very professional. Gave him a £550 deposit, then he come out the next day using the excuse that he needed to measure up again even tho he'd already done it the previous day, and when he come out the second time he added £800 onto my original agreed upon he started telling me what he was gunna do in my garden instead of doing the job I was asking him to do n what I was paying him to he started flirting with me and I had to remind him several times he was just here to do a job, nothing he helped himself to alcohol in my house and started drinking my alcohol in my house while discussing the work he was meant to be he asked to borrow a fiver and use my bathroom, which I stupidly allowed him to do, and when he got finished in the bathroom n come back downstairs, he bragged about the line of coke he'd just sniffed in my bathroom that my two very young kids use and even wiped out his baggie in front of my two young give me the fiver back that he'd obviously used to sniff his he got way way way too overly friendly with my kids as well, telling them 'I'm your mammies friend' and then teaching them how to through fkn punches n that!!When I finally got rid of him (he drive his van away from mine while still drinking the alcohol he'd taken from mine and while under the influence of coke that he'd sniffed in mine too btw), I messaged him telling him I wanted my deposit back as I was gunna go with someone else for the work after what he'd done in mine that day only to be told he couldn't return my deposit as he used my money to pay his business tax and insurance while it should of been used for when I argued that point he rang me and got really nasty with me and even threatened me as well if I didn't drop it, and he now has me blocked and never got my money back." These two snotty girls are battling it out to see who can be the worst: And this note — I can't emphasize this enough — makes me freaking HATE Brad: This note was written by a monster who would rather see someone die than be inconvenienced: This note in a work bathroom might somehow be grosser than the nastiness that inspired it: And this note from another work bathroom paints a totally different, but equally nasty picture: This note makes me wonder what the hell is going on at this bar: This text from an aunt going OFF on her very pregnant niece's plan to name her baby Lilith is not cool (what is it with aunts? Looking at you, Imelda!): If you're wondering WTF, here's some context: Lilith was the name of the first wife of Adam, who was banished from the Garden of Eden and, in some tellings, went on to become a she-demon. On the flip side, Lilith is a favorite name of feminists for her independent you think about the name, my take is that if it ain't your should stay out of the parents' naming process! And all the money in the world couldn't buy this entitled brat class: This silly conservative told on himself that he'd be a murderer if not for religion: I'll just let you read what Natalia had to say: And these gross parents are bragging to their kid about drunk driving at 8 a.m.: This genius stamped "Trump lives here" on a depiction of the Lincoln Memorial: This birthday cake couldn't make it at a 5-star restaurant, let's just put it that way: And these dine and ditch punks belong on this list for sure: This couple's messy marriage is laid out for all to see with a divorce on a mattress!: This trashy movie theater spectacle was 100% worth the price of admission: And I think the writer in white beats the doodler in black when it comes to being the worst: This jerk bragged online about being, well, a jerk: This moderator for a breastfeeding Facebook group put down in writing the gross way she makes $$$: And this mistress (or "buddy" as she prefers to be called) also put it all out there on Facebook for the world to see: This idiot dad also put it out there, telling the world, "LOOK AT ME! I AM AS DUMB AS THEY COME!" These people think it's funny to harass people busting their asses for minimum wage (or close to it): And this dad not only made himself look like a jerk but a chump (because what does he think they're doing when they're not visiting him?): This person trying to sell a bucket of day-old KFC made me throw up in my mouth a little: This window tinting service belongs here thanks to this advertisement with these before and after photos: And whoever's trying to sell 187 ciggy could be yours for the amazing price of just $ an intervention: These parents put WAAAAAY too much info on the internet for all to see (for clarity, the child, I believe, is the "stink," but it might also be...): This girl at the lake will never be a debutante: This whole situation makes you shake your head: Wait, sorry. I mean THIS whole situation: And lastly, the subject of this letter does NOT understand recycling (or being a functional human):

5 States That Insist On Celebrating Confederate Memorial Day Every... Single... Year
Even though it's been 160 years since the Civil War ended, Black Americans are still feeling the effects of the war that almost tore the nation apart over slavery. The pain and betrayal stemming from the Civil War continues to be a sore spot of conversation in the country, so of course when several southern states continue to celebrate Confederate Memorial Day, it cuts a little deeper. The holiday was created to honor fallen Confederate soldiers. Georgia was the first state to mark Confederate Memorial Day as a state holiday, according to Savannah Now. It wasn't until the the Charleston 9 Massacre that former Ga. Gov. Nathan Deal eliminated Confederate Memorial Day in his state, citing its offensive history. Elizabeth Rutherford Ellis is typically regarded as the mastermind behind the so-called great holiday. She chose April 26, which is also the first anniversary of Confederate Gen. Johnston's surrender to Union Major Gen. Sherman, as Confederate Memorial Day. Since then, several states have adopted the commemoration. Here's a list of several states that still celebrate. Every fourth Monday in April is celebrated as Confederate Memorial Day in Alabama, according to WHNT. That means today, April 28, is recognized as an official holiday in the state. Alabama's history with the holiday goes back to 1901, when Confederate Memorial Day was made a state holiday, according to the Encyclopedia of Alabama. Interestingly enough, this is one of three Confederate-related state holidays celebrated. Alabama also celebrates Robert E. Lee Day in January and Confederate President Jefferson Davis' birthday in June. Like other southern states, Florida added Confederate Memorial Day as an official holiday in 1895, along with Gen. Lee's birthday, according to Today, the sunshine state celebrates the holiday every year on April 26. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day on Jan. 19. According to the Texas Tribune, the holiday honors the lives of the Confederate president and Gen. Lee. Texas used to separate the birthdays of Davis and Lee with different holidays, but in 1973, they decided to consolidated into Confederate Heroes Day. As you can expect, every year this holiday is celebrated, it's also met with backlash from folks who view Confederate Heroes Day as disrespectful to the legacy of slavery. In 2023, a bill was filed to get rid of the holiday. Rep. Christina Morales said 'We cannot stand by as our state continues to formally celebrate and glorify the men who believed so deeply that Black men and women did not have rights, that they would go to war.' When Confederate Memorial Day is celebrated in Mississippi, government workers also get paid for their holiday off. Pushback surrounding the day has been championed by leaders like Sen. Derrick Simmons, who said the holiday is racist and 'awful for Mississippians.' He even wrote an op-ed for Mississippi Today saying, 'Celebrating Confederate Memorial Day is not only racist but is bad policy, bad governance and a deep stain on the values we claim to uphold today.' May 10 marks the annual Confederate Memorial Day in South Carolina. According to Greenville Online, on this day, state offices and other businesses in the state are closed. Recently, there have been efforts to get rid of the holiday. In 2022, lawmakers proposed replacing Confederate Memorial Day with Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19.
