Husband's 'very British' note to neighbour sleeping with his wife goes viral

A viral note written by a husband who returned home to discover his wife in bed with another man has gone viral.

The "very British" note has been branded hilariously "passive aggressive" as it sarcastically asked the other man to avoid the "doing the dirty" with his wife given they are not in an open relationship.

The note was shared on Reddit and has since been leaving hundreds of social media users in stitches, BirminghamLive reports.

The post was captioned by the man: “Came home to my partner in bed with someone else! Pretty sure I struck the right tone?”

It is unknown where the note was left or when exactly the incident happened.

He addressed the note to the other man and wrote: “Hey, just wanted to let you know that you’re sleeping with someone who’s married and we’re not in an open relationship so you shouldn't really be doing the dirty with her.

"I appreciate things can get lonely so don’t mind you popping over for a brew temporarily whilst I’m out but in the future could you give me a heads up so I can move my car for you please.”

The supposedly heartbroken husband, of course, rounded up the note saying: "Cheers, no 86."

The Reddit thread has racked up 600 comments.

One joked: "That "Hey" is a bit confrontational. Dial it back a little."

Another laughed: "I’m British and I cannot work out whether this is Olympic level sarcasm or if I have missed something."

"Where was this note left?" asked Member Flex.
