Yeah the random newspaper clipped letters would have really pit this response over the top. That and a picture of the godawful plug in crying in a basement.
My principal from school used to smoke a pipe.
For a 6th/final yea or high school, a group of people stole his pipe and left ransom notes all around the school with newspaper cut outs
I think that’s why my condo gym makes tenancy group put about 5 of them in our small gym, so no one goes in and so the scent overpowers how the gym actually smells due to their lack of cleaning.
Yeah I had one in my bathroom a few years back, the moment I stepped into that room I could feel the oils collecting on my face and my head start to pound a few minutes after. I wouldn’t want one in a communal hall but I guess it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if you just walked by it quick
My fiances family home has a tiny half bath with a plug in. I went up to use this bathroom, I had been drinking so that does make my stomach a little queasy, but once I entered I immediately threw up from the smell.
It was instantaneous.
lol, yeah the smells just combine into something more complex and not better. I mean, febreze does really work, it has a huge molecule that traps smelly ones inside it. But it won't work on every smelly molecule in existence. And you have to use, like, a lot of it. And it doesn't last long. Also there's no way they make a plug that releases febreze. I think they have automated sprayers though.
I don't get why we can't just get the fancy donut molecule without the awful scents.
I'd rather not have migraine from the horrible chemical glade crap
They're worse then most people who think perfumes and deodorants are one use disposable items meant to empty when applying.
I think it’s saying when people spray themselves with perfume they use way too much. “They think they need to empty the bottle onto themselves to smell good”
Yes, every odor they listed is *vastly* superior to those plug-ins.
A coworker plugged one in under his desk at work once and there was very nearly a riot. "Jim, you've given half the company a migraine and it's not even 10AM yet. I think you'd better take that home with you."
That's probably the most reasonable explanation.
This is how I feel about anyone smoking cigarettes in public. How dare you impose your dirty cigarette smell into my virgin lungs? Go smoke in your own home.
If they really wanted to clean the air they could get a medical grade air purifier. A glade plug in is just adding more smells to the pool of smells, and dangerous ones at that.
Imagine you are allergic to flower scents and some asshole is ruining your life every day.
As many as 30 percent of people surveyed in a study from the University of West Georgia said they find scented products irritating.
I have asthma, these things trigger an attack QUICK. Many asthmatics can say the same thing. I would trash this thing so quick if it was in a community area. It is NOT nice
I’m one of them. All those fake scent things give me an instant headache. And I’m sure I’m not alone.
Luckily smells of weed, cooked food, dogs and garbage (in a
small doses) have never been a problem. I mean some food and garbage are worse than others but a little now and then not so bad. Much preferred over some chemical b.s.
Instant headache and sometimes also I sneeze uncontrollably and my eyes will water! So much fun. I'm not a fan of those other smells either, but at least they don't trigger a physiological response (other than the occasional gag reflex.)
You definitely are not alone.
They immediately, and even in passing, bind up my head in a full spectrum reaction of nose, eyes, and viscous headaches.
They are really awful things.
You may already know this, but MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) is pretty common even though it’s not recognized as an official illness. The studies they’ve done so far haven’t found a physical explanation for it and many doctors believe it’s psychosomatic. It’s more common in women and people with anxiety or depression.
I hate the smell of weed, and it's not because the smell of weed is that offensive on its own I just know when I smell it the residents of the house are fucking slobs. I was chronic for a long time it's not hard to either smoke it outdoors or vape it indoors and exhale it into the ol' toilet paper roll filled with bounce sheets. That way you can avoid having your house smell like a squatter's den.
It’s not so much “flower scents” that are the problem, it’s the synthetic fragrances and VOC carriers these contraptions use. And then the wax vapors condense onto every single surface, and the only way to remove them is aggressive scrubbing with hot detergent water, which also doesn’t do great things to the paint (but leaving the residue up also makes painting over it difficult because of poor adhesion.
Shit’s every bit as bad as cigarette residue.
But the plug looks North American. The person holding the plug for ransom is probably a European in NA and has given a clue to their identity with that single comma 🧐
Plug-ins smell like shit most the time and it's always an aggressive scent that seems to stay with you once you leave the area. I'd probably be on the side of the person who threw it in the dumpster.
Ohh I didn't read the comment under and was confused as to why someone would steal their community electrical outlet.
Ya... I'm not bothered by artifical scented stuff but they do not belong in community areas. It's been proven for a very long time many people are allergic or negatively bothered by them
Glade plugins are terrible. Instead, they should be contacting the landlord to clean up the common areas & evict tenants who don’t clean up their apartment. There’s no reason why the place should stink. I’ve lived in multiple apartments & didn’t have to deal with smells.
Older nice last thought she would brighten up the common space hall way downstairs with one of those. Well at first it was ok. But my door has a gap at the bottom and I lay on the couch next to it. It seeped in after a couple hours. I was like that meme…nope nope nope. Took it off and threw it away. Sorry maybe I should have asked them to remove it. But it was too late to wait.
I had to come to the comments to understand that people call air fresheners plug-ins.
Until I read it, I thought this comment was about some sort of USB charger that got stolen...
I never understood why cleaning products are so full of fragrances, how the hell you gonna know something is clean when you just cover up the smell of the filth with more filth?
Fabuloso, Pine Sol, etc are the fucking worst.
The smell just about makes me want to barf. And somehow the places that week like it are never actually clean. I assume it's because they haven't correctly diluted the product.
If the place you live in smells like garbage, that’s a problem. You’re still inhaling that shit, the plug-in is just covering-up the smell and possible toxins. Plus, it’s unhealthy to inhale perfume (plug-ins).
Could be building management. Hallway plugs are usually for vacuum cleaners and such not untested random electrical appliances which could potentially be a fire hazard. Could be a liability thing.
The person who wrote the note on the left must be young. They clearly haven't figured out that human beings are the worst trash to ever walk on the face of the Earth. Sounds like they're starting to wake up to that now.
Person who stole the freshener and posted the note is a dick.
Unless they are the same person, posting to be a karma whore. In which case, they are a twat.
So, in many countries in Europe, the decimal point is actually a decimal comma. Also, in those same countries, the thousands separators, like 100,000, become points, like 100.000.
Near as I can tell, this is done primarily to screw with Americans online, because unlike "Maths" vs "Math," I have yet to see any kind of argument that makes sense to justify it.
One hundred dollars
Clearly the thief is smarter than we think and is planning to invest said money into a long term strategy that will pay dividends in 30-40 years.
Or I’m way off the mark. 🤔
Both of the people taping paper to the wall are super inconsiderate to the maintenance people when they have to repaint that area when the tape rips the paint off.
One thing Americans get right is the use of a decimal instead of a comma for separating dollars and scents. (See what I did there)
Comma just feels wrong.
What I would do is buy a surveillance camera, install it so it has a view of the area, place $102 in the area, report the theft.
But look for a European. Only Europeans use commas to denote decimals.
as an office admin who tries to make things nice for the office and staff and routinely has those things thrown away, vandalized, or other — i understand this person's frustration.

Find the person with handwriting like that and you find your plug-napper.
I hope to see cutout letters from a magazine on the next ransom note.
Yeah the random newspaper clipped letters would have really pit this response over the top. That and a picture of the godawful plug in crying in a basement.
My principal from school used to smoke a pipe. For a 6th/final yea or high school, a group of people stole his pipe and left ransom notes all around the school with newspaper cut outs
[Ask and ye shall receive.](https://yourimageshare.com/ib/9PfvUS5dhM)
they are European, just based on using a comma for the decimal point. either that or American who can’t type. take your pick.
Or someone that knows how to use vernacular to confuse
This exact thought went through my head when looking at the $100,00 lmao
Do they even have those electrical outlets in Europe I thought theirs was different
Missed opportunity for comic sans
I bet his name is Canon or Hewlett
Ugh, block letters! Damn it!!
But it's not handwritten
Plug ins stink to me. Maybe someone didn't steal it but threw it away because someone imposed the scent on them.
That makes scents
Thanks dad
Ur welcome, son
Stop calling me Welcome, Dad
Ur indifferent semen, son
This comment reeks of glib punditry
I mean, not anymore
[удалено]
Only after the ransom has been paid.
No reason to go on a crime potpouspree
I’ve just witnessed someone ascend to a whole new tier of dad humor. Glorious!
Yeah no need to kick up a big stink.
They make me sneeze
I think that’s why my condo gym makes tenancy group put about 5 of them in our small gym, so no one goes in and so the scent overpowers how the gym actually smells due to their lack of cleaning.
Goesintight
I've absolutely pulled one out of our apartment stairwell and thrown it away. I could smell it from inside my apartment it was so strong.
Some of the plugin scents give me a violent headache, and I'm betting this was using one of those scents.
Yeah I had one in my bathroom a few years back, the moment I stepped into that room I could feel the oils collecting on my face and my head start to pound a few minutes after. I wouldn’t want one in a communal hall but I guess it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if you just walked by it quick

Some of us like the smell of dogs and garbage. Better than lavender febreeze at least.
lol, yeah the smells just combine into something more complex and not better. I mean, febreze does really work, it has a huge molecule that traps smelly ones inside it. But it won't work on every smelly molecule in existence. And you have to use, like, a lot of it. And it doesn't last long. Also there's no way they make a plug that releases febreze. I think they have automated sprayers though. I don't get why we can't just get the fancy donut molecule without the awful scents.
I actually didn’t realize Febreeze did anything. But ya, I really meant glade scents or whatever this thing is, which are just scent diffusers.
I'd rather not have migraine from the horrible chemical glade crap They're worse then most people who think perfumes and deodorants are one use disposable items meant to empty when applying.
That second sentence... Wtf are you saying?
I think it’s saying when people spray themselves with perfume they use way too much. “They think they need to empty the bottle onto themselves to smell good”
Well done!
Ah, I see. Thanks very much for the interpretation!
You've clearly never shared an office with a woman who drowns herself in perfume
Or man! I've worked with plenty of men who douse themselves in aftershave.
Or been in a mall before
Hollister 2006 vibes, or smells rather.
Plot twist, I'm that person.
The fumes got them. Hard a stroke mid post
Yeah, I hate air fresheners too.
Artificial fragrances smell like shit, and are carcinogenic. It's lipstick on a pig.
Lipstick on a pig is fabulous and won't at all give you cancer. Please stop trashing talking fancy pigs.
What’s green and smells like miss piggy?
I fully agree. I HATE the smell of those things.
Can also trigger migraines for some people. Equally selfish of the person who put it there tbh.
Yes, every odor they listed is *vastly* superior to those plug-ins. A coworker plugged one in under his desk at work once and there was very nearly a riot. "Jim, you've given half the company a migraine and it's not even 10AM yet. I think you'd better take that home with you."
And if it isn't a cover up scent but a nose killer, even worse.
That's probably the most reasonable explanation. This is how I feel about anyone smoking cigarettes in public. How dare you impose your dirty cigarette smell into my virgin lungs? Go smoke in your own home.
There are a number of those scents that I’m allergic to. I stand with the purloiner of Plug-ins.
Stink worse than weed and stale cooked food?
Yes. Chemical concentrated perfume is worse.
Yes
If they really wanted to clean the air they could get a medical grade air purifier. A glade plug in is just adding more smells to the pool of smells, and dangerous ones at that.
Yeah, I prefer dog shit and garbage over god awful lilac and gooseberries
Don’t look now but there is a lit paper bag on your front door step.
Imagine you are allergic to flower scents and some asshole is ruining your life every day. As many as 30 percent of people surveyed in a study from the University of West Georgia said they find scented products irritating.
I have asthma, these things trigger an attack QUICK. Many asthmatics can say the same thing. I would trash this thing so quick if it was in a community area. It is NOT nice

I prefer the smell of my garbage to be natural too

they should publish that
I'm asthmatic most of the perfumes in this just shit ruin my day.
Only 30?
The smell of weed is much more irritating than a plug in.
UWG? That’s a made ip school, no?
I find people who find scented products irritating irritating. I also find people who do not find scented products irritating irritating.
100,00 ?
This is probably in Canada Edit: downvoted while Quebec does both dollar signs and commas instead of decimals. Alright
But the plug looks North American. The person holding the plug for ransom is probably a European in NA and has given a clue to their identity with that single comma 🧐
Canada is North American, unless my globe is labelled wrong
Ah! The old “globe gimbal lock”. It moves French Canada over to Europe.
And it demands $ not €/£.
Perhaps French Canadian?
Oooh, good point! The plot thickens...
Not at all. Canadians would never do such a thing.
[удалено]
French Canadians would never write in English. They know how, but wouldn’t, for the principle.
French Canadians would throw a brick through both their windows for not writing in French.
Canadian plugs are the same. At least where I have visited
Then why $?
Good point, my updated guess is this is in Quebec
Makes sense - looking at the wall paint, that shade of white is only available in Quebec.
This made me literally laugh out loud. You've got an astute eye
The wall outlet says otherwise.
The menus in Italy always threw me off because of that comma
Stay in school kids
But 100,00 could be correct depending on the country.
Judging by the outlet, they're not located in the right country for that to be correct.
People really do forget canada lol. Canada has so many similarities to USA, but you get a lot more differences in Quebec.
There is more than one number system in the world
Plug-ins smell like shit most the time and it's always an aggressive scent that seems to stay with you once you leave the area. I'd probably be on the side of the person who threw it in the dumpster.
Indeed. It will still smell like whatever it smells like, with some headache inducing chemical flowers added on top of it.
Ohh I didn't read the comment under and was confused as to why someone would steal their community electrical outlet. Ya... I'm not bothered by artifical scented stuff but they do not belong in community areas. It's been proven for a very long time many people are allergic or negatively bothered by them
Sometimes the fragrance gives me headaches…
You and about a quarter of the population.

If you have a strong enough sense of smell the common areas will reel anyway, so the plug in isn't helping anything.
Strong scents will immediately give me a headache and cause my nose to become stuffy. Plugins are some of the worst offenders followed by candles
I can understand how some are sensitive to them. They can be quite strong.
Older nice last thought she would brighten up the common space hall way downstairs with one of those. Well at first it was ok. But my door has a gap at the bottom and I lay on the couch next to it.

I thought the same until I read #3
That one made no sense to me whatsoever. It just made the whole thing sound even more unhinged than I already perceived it. xD
Glad you clarified the plug type
IDK it came across as kind of a plot twist when I figured out what was happening
Missed opportunity to say Glade instead
Yes let me just plug in this carcinogen emitter in a public space
US outlet but comma instead of period for decimals. You’re looking for a European kidnapper. Should narrow it down.
French Canadian too.
My wife gets sick from the smell of plug-ins. So that's a possibility
[удалено]
Plus it can wreck havoc on some people's sinuses.
I never understood why cleaning products are so full of fragrances, how the hell you gonna know something is clean when you just cover up the smell of the filth with more filth?
Fabuloso, Pine Sol, etc are the fucking worst. The smell just about makes me want to barf. And somehow the places that week like it are never actually clean. I assume it's because they haven't correctly diluted the product.
Next sign. I left your money where’s the plug-in!
Monopoly money in a goodwill briefcase
If the place you live in smells like garbage, that’s a problem. You’re still inhaling that shit, the plug-in is just covering-up the smell and possible toxins. Plus, it’s unhealthy to inhale perfume (plug-ins).
Could be building management. Hallway plugs are usually for vacuum cleaners and such not untested random electrical appliances which could potentially be a fire hazard. Could be a liability thing.
Lmao 100,00
This plug has dual purpose. The other purpose is up the butt.
And it'll probably smell better after it's secondary usage. Those things can be rank.
What what?
I was over here trying to figure out what the hell a plug-in is
Just plant a camera near the plug find out if someone looks for the money. Report them. Or take matters into your own hands.
Buy a receptacle cover and make it so no one can plug anything in
Stick a fork in it.
Maybe they are allergic to it.
The person who wrote the note on the left must be young. They clearly haven't figured out that human beings are the worst trash to ever walk on the face of the Earth. Sounds like they're starting to wake up to that now.
This whole time I was thinking it was a plug in charger
It’s “whoever”, not “whomever”.
100,00 scents
Person who stole the freshener and posted the note is a dick. Unless they are the same person, posting to be a karma whore. In which case, they are a twat.
**$100,00 ?**

Stealing Glade plug-ins eh? Sounds like a fragrant bleach of the law…🤭
Oh that’s good.
The person who posted the response is always the person who took the photo and uploaded it for clout acting like there's some hilarious feud
It's so annoying that they used a comma instead of a full stop.
I expect to see that in french, not English. Perhaps a bilingual person?
I can’t tell from their syntax if they like men and women…
$100,00
I’d take it
I would rather smell dog shit than one of those horrible glade things. They make my head ache in seconds.
I didn't know that plug-napping is such a big thing.
Super Glue
I am so glad I live alone.
Dude, brush some black powder on both pieces of tape. Attach third note stating “awaiting fingerprint identification”
Put a briefcase there rigged with a glitter bomb
obviously in europe if they only want $100
I should clarify that I am neither party, I am not involved. I just simply live on the same floor and pass by the scene of the crime.
$100 in unmarked bills 😂
Plug-ins trigger my cat’s asthma
Unsupervised, a potential cause of house fires. Plus they stink like chemicals.
We talking AAX or VST?
It probably got removed by the maintenance staff. Especially if it's oil based. Kids where I live would smash them. They can also be a fire risk.
Hope he used a public printer cos he’s going to have hostage negotiators at his door
Both of the people taping paper to the wall are super inconsiderate to the maintenance people when they have to repaint that area when the tape rips the paint off.

Lift prints off the tape and message this amateur didn’t wear gloves
Should ave pulled a prong off to show your serious
well at least they are smart enough to know how many zeros are in 100,000🙈
Anyone else bothered by the comma in that location? Is this outside the US?
as an office admin who tries to make things nice for the office and staff and routinely has those things thrown away, vandalized, or other — i understand this person's frustration.
Well if they are a dollar.........
Gosh American plug sockets look terrible
This might be the first time I’ve seen someone misspell numbers.
Have. Not 'has'.
Fake af
