It's All About the Daves
A website that celebrates everything Dave.
In 2009, Joe from Van Nuys, CA posted a now-legendary office note: Dave's tea was being stolen — and Dave had no idea there were other Daves in the building. Thanks to passiveaggressivenotes.com, the #DAVES4LIFE nation was born.
This is a website that celebrates everything Dave — the name, the legends, the lore, and yes, the tea. A website for all of the Daves out there. Would the real Daves please stand up!
