Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
March 4, 2009 Passive Aggressive Notes, eat your heart out. ;)
How, Mary L.?
Smilies make everything better. Here, I'll show you:I despise you all, you bunch of idiots. ;)
See? The little ;) shows I'm joking! ;)
Also, last I checked California was still attached. Just sayin'.
UPDATE: Yes, my loyal and attentive Wreckies, I DID see the apostrophe is in the wrong place on this cake. Rest assured I am not advocating some new radical apostrophe-placement coup. It's bad. Baaa-aad.
Q: Hey, what's better than a mean goodbye cake?
A: One that's misspelled! Duh.
"That's nice of you to say, but it does seem like you're a little biased, being the seller and all..."
Chris, Heather, Ellen F., Mike, & Erin M., are you guys still here?

I think I'll start putting those cakes on co-workers desks who AREN'T leaving, just to see what happens.
Oh dear.
Sometimes its unclear if the fault is with the cake decorator or the cake buyer.
And the apostrophe is in the wrong place....pretty sure it goes after the 're, not just the e.
Haha, "go back to jersey". Such lulz.
Nice apostrophe there, Denmark.
I lived in Denmark for six months after college. I really hope cake number four wasn't intended for me!
I'm shocked that you didn't mention the misplaced apostrophe in "your'e leaving [sic]"!
apostrophe problem on the 'hooray you're leaving' cake. :)
Dear Lord, are those cigarettes on the last cake?
Don't forget, wrecks MUST have incorrect punctuation...HOORAY YOUR'E LEAVING...WTF? Sooo close, too! Love the 1st one, though, in all it's dissing wreckiness.
Go back to Jersey? Woah woah woah...let's not say things we don't mean here folks! I mean that's just HARSH.
I think my last boss would have gotten me one of these cakes if she could have done it and still maintained her sickeningly sweet exterior facade. There sure is a lot of passive aggressive cake decorating going around these days.
But just look at the care that was taken in creating the image of California!
In some circles, "Go Back to Jersey" really isn't that much of an insult. :P
...Though it is pretty funny. If I'd gotten a cake like that in college, I would have taken the advice! (But that was in CT.)
At least these coworkers have sense of humor I guess.
What's up with the indian face on Pat's cake?
As always, these mad me laugh so hard. The first one is the definite winner in my book followed by the flag one. Too funny
I'm laughing so hard at all of these cakes. See?! Simple is good! Oh, I think I would laugh my butt off if I ever received one of these cakes. (Mostly because I'm secure in my friendships; people just like me.)
I also learned I've been misspelling "you're" all these years. Apparently the apostrophe comes between the R and the E. Now I know...
At least the "Hooray - You're Leaving" cake it really pretty. That makes it all better!
OMG...of all the misplaced apostrophes I've ever seen....that takes the cake! (pun intended...)
your apostrophe e?!?! wow.
Hmm, which is sadder, the random Pocahontas, or the missplaced apostrophe in you're? I think the Native American would be more moving if it had a single tear like in those littering commercials.
wow, I feel the love...
Getting some good cake ideas here ;)
I also like the improper usage of the apostrophe in the "Hooray your'e leaving" cake....
LOL! I also love the YOUR'E. I have to admit, that's a new one for me.
"You're leaving", not "Your'e leaving". ;)
On the norweigian one, I've never seen that particular spelling of "you're" before: your'e.
I'm sure you already got at least one comment on this. But, "your'e" is definitely misspelled on that cake. :)
LOVE the "pat" one....what's up with the little indian lady? she doesn't seem too happy.
No comment on the position of the apostrophe on the Denmark cake?
Oh my, did California finally fall into the sea?
Guess it was so unimportant it didn't even make Twitter. Humph.
On the other hand, there's a few people in my past I wouldn't mind giving that first cake to.
Not to mention the misplaced apostrophe on the "hooray, your'e leaving" cake. Too funny! You make me laugh every day!
I'd like to know some of the back stories on these. Too funny!
Love the poor punctuation on the 4th cake. Mean and dumb go together so fabulously.
And wuddup with that Indian? WTF is that supposed to be about? Did someone quit the cigar shop?
On the Norway cake, "your'e leaving"? They get a mean cake with incorrect use of an apostrophe!
Hmmmm....the apostrophe is in the wrong spot on the Hooray cake. Unless I am missing a letter between the R and the E when I spell 'are'.
Thank you. Had a bad day, this made me smile:-D (in this case the :-) is not to show that I'm kidding).
Was happy to see my flag on the cake, I feel that this is the closest I'll ever come to a Danish wreck since you'll have to have cake decorations to make wrecks...
I would love to know the stories behind these.

It looks like someone rolled some joints and put them on that last cake.
Perhaps the "Good Buy" is referring to the funny cigarettes on top of the cake.
Is the last cake topped with hand-rolled turd cigarettes?
The "Good Buy, Amy" cake appears to have cigarrette butts all over it. What's up with that?
the first one is obviously for an american history class...
If only people would be so happy that I'm leaving...or maybe they are? Hmmmmm

Wow. There are some mean people in the world. :(
Awww... these cakes brought me back to a place I didn't want to go... my high school graduation cake said, "Congrats! Now get out!"
I'm not joking. But I can't complain about the professional execution of my cake. These are pretty wrecky!
Way to be blunt, people. Couldn't they even add a Goodbye, Best Wishes or a "We'll miss you" (quotation marks included, of course)?
But I guess if you are going to tell it like it is may as well say it in frosting!
I LOVE the spelling error cakes! Although, the Good Buy Amy cake could be redeemed by the portion sizes drawn out on top--nice big pieces!
I would be an unhappy Indian too, Pat. Your'e cake sucks as much as the Denmark mis-apostrophe
Ah, mean-spirited cakes. So sweet, yet so bitter. I'll take a slice from each one please!
I especially like the misplaced apostrophe in the second-to-last cake. Ouch.
ha! That last one cracked me up!
