A few years ago, I shared a small house that was located right across the street from the bar where I worked. My roommate was a friend who only worked part-time, so we had agreed that I would pay two-thirds of the bills and she would take care of the utilities as well as the groceries and laundry.
My roommate was a little wild in those days and was dating two men at the same time. They knew about each other and it became an ongoing competition to see who would end up with her. These men would leave notes on her car as well as small gifts, such as flowers and jewelry on the seat. On any given day, she would find these notes and tokens four or five times a day.
One day after work, my roommate had stopped into the bar while she was doing laundry. She was complaining that she had found seven notes on her car in the last seven hours. “If I find one more note on my car, somebody is going to get hurt,” she said as she walked out to return to the laundry mat to switch the clothes from the washer to the dryer.
While she was gone, I took a piece of plain white paper and wrote “Have a nice day” in it. I then had everyone that is in the bar sign their names to it, which added up to about twenty signatures. There were three doors leading out of the bar, so I waited by the side door until I saw her pull in. As she walked around the building to enter the front door, I ran out the side door and stuck our note under her windshield wiper. I slipped back inside without her ever knowing that I had left.
We sat there and talked for about a half hour until it was time for her to leave to retrieve the clothes from the laundry mat. As she exited by way of the front door, everyone ran to the side door so that they could all see her reaction.
Her first reaction was to hit and kick her car. We could tell that she was cussing to herself as she snatched the note up. When she opened it, her mouth dropped open. She then glanced back at the bar to see a bunch of faces laughing at her. She also laughed, made a specific hand gesture, and climbed in her car. She never complained about notes being left on her car again.
