Stay Classy
FOUND by Jason D. in Fullerton, CA
I found this on my car about a year ago. I don't have kids or wear diapers as a rule so I can only assume it's a case of mistaken identity. Stay classy, indeed. For the record the nearest trash was way more than 2 feet away.

I am too busy putting my shitty diapers on the coats!

"For the record the nearest trash was way more than 2 feet away."

That sounds like a guilty, shity diaper-thrower if ever I heard one... XD

Maybe the Found guys took Father's Day off and thought this "deja" was a good "vu" for the festivities. Meh.

I remember a minor Uma Thurman film called "Where the Heart Is" in which she takes in a street person they end up calling The Shit or Shitty, because he spends all his time in the bathroom.

Not a nickname I would find felicitous.

@ Dog Breath ... maybe the original intended audience kept leaving diapers elsewhere than the trash, forcing the original writer to write an identical note, leaving it in the exact same place in hopes that it would have the intended effect.

Unfortunately, both times the note got left on some other guy's car and that guy sent both notes in to Found. With the same comment.

It could happen.

...or perhaps Spencer's now sells "Stay Classy" note pads pre-printed with shity diaper messages. Also available is "you park like an @sswhole". Coming to a mall near you!

Must mean "in" the trash, not "on" the trash.

Whether I’ve commented or not, I've been checking in on FOUND nearly every day for 3+ years. When I became a daily visitor, I thought the concept was fresh, and that content was fun and exciting...Now, not so much.

Today, we have a two toned note that says "I think you're sexy" (blah) and a repeat of a find that was posted last New Year’s Eve, 12/31/08 -- less than 6 months ago!(WTF?) Have the submissions declined to the extent that the website is out of new material? I can't imagine that to be true. I have sent in 3 finds that I feel confident would inspire more comments and were more thought provoking than what we've been given today...

It makes me feel like we, the visitors are being underestimated, or maybe I should say unappreciated. We've been loyal to the site, bought the books...I've even been to see Davy live once. But the times I find myself giggling at the site and itching to comment are becoming less and less frequent. I've watched tons of great posters come and go, and some have even said they have grown bored of shopping list and bad parking notes. Just because something is found, does not automatically make it a great find.

I think it's time, FOUND gods, that you reassess what you want to accomplish with this site, and get it back to good. The least you can do is take precautions not to repeat yourself. I think those of us who know and love FOUND deserve more than that.

If we don't get new finds...why waste the time to come up with new comments???

Hey, Found Guys.
Maybe you should use the team of commenters, there are so many who are extremely observant and astute. Maybe a small team can be put together to vett (how do you spell that word?) the founds, and figure out if we've seen them before. I don't think i'd like to see the pool of founds edited for content (i.e. is this funny/interesting/weird/creepy enough), but certainly for repeats.

Cotton - are you fucking serious? You took the time to write all that, just to complain about having seen a Find once before? And you're telling other people else they need to reassess something? Astonishing.

The folks at FOUND were diligently sorting through the Finds when there was a sudden earthquake. They accidentally put an old file in the new files folder. Then all the folders got shaken up and they couldn't even remember which was which.

I'm kind of liking the PINK SHERBERT trim on the note paper.

At first glance it looks like "diapons".

Just me,

Those are for people who have two issues to deal with simultaneously.

It's free entertainment.
wow. I somehow thought, when I saw the rerun, that the comments might actually accumulate and make the Find funny (because it really wasn't. Not even the first time).

Mostly it's a Bunch of freakin' whiners.

Yeah, mona lisa, why don't you just go ahead and head up that committee of concerned commenters. you know how everyone here lives and dies by your opinion anyway.

Actually, "free entertainment", i couldn't give a rats ass whether or not anyone listens to my opinion. Just curious, tho, why do i get this vitriolic response, and Cotton gets nothing from you? Are you my personal hater?
Oh, and btw, you just made yourself one of the whiners you were complaining about. Nice.

Phew! Mona! Thanks for replying; I live by your opinion, you know. (That was close!)

Don't worry, Mona. If you're prominent enough in a web community to be flamed, it's because you're noticeable. Maybe the flamer is hoping some of the magic will rub off.

I doubt it.

You're more than welcome, Curious. I am ready with an opinion any time you need one. ( i just don't do decorating and hair advice.)
