Sorry if I get on your nerves...
FOUND by Lisa Anderson
in Fresno, California
I found this strip of paper folded up and sitting on a bench at a local community college. I have a feeling this relationship is doomed!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
I have felt like saying this so many times! I admire this person for their honesty, and hope they got their kiss.
Aaaawwwww... this is adorable!
But the improper use of "your" really gets on my nerves, so... NO KISSES!
I am #3 ! All others are #2 or less !
Ride, Captain, ride...
I agree about "your" but it's so cute that I might forget about that and give some smooches
Aww. I love this. Finally the guy admits to the reason for his goofy immaturity. At least that's how I picture it. Like in elementary school when the kid behind you won't stop poking you because he likes you... Anyway. Great find. I hope this worked out for the guy. This was ballsy. :)
I wish someone would say that to me everyday.
What's he suppose to say. Sorry I get on you're nerves.
i sgree with everyone else: sounds like ME!
yeah...sorry for the typo, there...
man... this paper reminds me of this song by the moldy peaches.. "no words came out"
i wish i had courage enough to say this to someone
yeah. I supposed he should say sorry I get on you're nerves, but your cute (ass is driving me to distraction).
Suze, the first 'your' is fine. It's the second 'your'. It should be 'you're' - you are so cute. I'm the same as some others here. If he doesn't have correct SPAG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar) then he's not worth kissing. :)
Im not meaning to be stereotypical but when I read it I thought it was a girl...guys don't apologize..they just start getting creepy
At first I thought, 'how do we know it's a man that wrote the note?' Then I realized it's the penmanship. Definitely not female handwriting.
I have always been partial to good SPaG but it is worth noting that there are some people to whom they just don't come naturally. There are many different kinds of intelligence; someone who is a poor speller may be a fantastic artist, or a mathematical genius, or both! To say that poor spellers are not worth kissing is to sell these people short of the chance to show that they have other qualities that DO make them worth kissing :)
At first I thought I'd love to get a note like this. Then I imagined the disturbing side to it. You would like to get this note from a boyfriend. You would not like to get this note from the smelly dude sitting next to you on the subway, or the toll-booth collector, or anonymously on your car window.
All of you guys say its so cute but I think that any college student who says that is fairly immature.
Comes across as a girl to me too. Really sweet, reminds me of elementary school. How I loved those days, and how I'm so glad they're gone!
this is cute. I love the honesty, and the apologeticness of it. I want someone to say this to me. Goes against that 'love is never having to say you're sorry' thing.
My husband has horrible SPaG, but he is totally worth kissing. Also, this reminds me of something he would say/write to me. So cute.
"This relationship is Doomed"?? What relationship? If you have to write something like this in a note, there **isn't** a relationship. And if you have to write something like this in a note--my money is on that there isn't going to be one. Especially if you get on the person's nerves!
Sorry if I kissed you on your nerve, but I'm so damn cute I'm running out of notepaper.
Don't read this untill after I'm gone, okay?
vessel, thanks for pointing that out. I totally missed it.
I meet someone recently and we exchanged email address. He was really cute and I couldn't wait for his email. But when I get it, his spelling is so bad that I debated emailing him back. Kindove and tomarrow are misspelling deal breakers right?
*sigh* OK, between the rainbows, torn in half Levi's pic, and this... the sweetness is giving me diabetes. Will someone post a screwed up shopping list or some emo kid's dark poem PLEASE!?! I need to say something mean!!!
Creepy!
Handwriting looks like the 'Dairy' writer from a few days back -- maybe grown a bit older (and perhaps solved his bathroom problem).
Nothing gets on my nerves more than someone saying 'sorry'!
Sorry.
agreed lady brandy. i'll bring the insulin tomorrow, just in case. :]
I think it's a girl. Boys don't say sorry in that manner, it's more of a defensive sorry. Like "Well, soooooorry, if I get on your nerves, you are too sensitive anyways" (sorry guys, but it's true)
Also, girls can have terrible handwriting too. It must have come from a teenager. Nobody else writes 'to' as 2. Maybe she got her kiss for being so gutsy.
I don't think he/she got the kiss, especially considering he/she completely acknowledged the fact that he/she annoys whoever the recipient is. Or maybe he/she did. I dunno.
I dunno, Kite. Those are pretty bad misspellings. I guess that depends on how much of a priority good spelling is for you. Did he at least seem reasonably intelligent aside from his spelling ability? I know a fair amount of smart people who can't spell worth a crap.
Maybe the couple had a right and she wouldn't talk to him. Maybe he wrote her a note to make her smile and remind her that even though he sucks sometimes he still loves her.
Wow thats a lot of faith in the human race for the sucky day i'm having.
On the misspellings note-The occasional your/you're is forgivable and maybe even tomarrow. BUT kindove! I don't know about that.
I'll admit, I first thought that it was a woman who'd written the note to give to some boy, but left on a park bench instead and chose to live with regret and a kissless relationship.
Now that I figure it's a guy, it's weird to me that he said, "your cute AND I want 2 kiss you." I mean, perhaps he wants to kiss her because of something greater than cuteness, like intelligence, or whatever, but I figure it should just be "you're so cute I want to kiss you." And yes, the SPaG makes me mad too.
**Maybe the couple had a FIGHT
my own typos piss me off
Kite, you can certainly believe that 'kindove' and 'tomarrow' are deal-breakers, but how would you feel if someone you really liked didn't write back to you just because of incorrect tense use and several forgotten punctuation marks?
Awww, this is really cute.
I'm surprised so many people find this cute! My first thought was of the annoying, clingy, almost desperate nature of the letter writer. It makes me cringe to think of someone who annoys me wanting to kiss me! Ugh! I suspect that since this wasn't kept, but just carelessly left behind that the recipient felt the same.
sounds just like stuff my hubby says to me! and he has horrible spelling and handwriting, also, but his sensitivity and apologetic nature definitely makes up for it...and he always asks for help with his spelling, if need be. I guess as long as one of us knows how, we sort of balance each other out....
on the other hand, spelling errors do piss me off a little. just seems so lazy and careless. pick up a dictionary! use spell check! anything! if you can't even spell basic, everyday words you look like an illiterate idiot. JMHO
This is soooo sweet, whoever that person sent that too should totally kiss them!!
people seriously let punctuation and grammar get in the way of love? wow. never thought you could fall out of love all because of grammr. yikes! maybe i'm doing this all wrong.
siiigh.. sadly i now have to go break some bad news to a great, hilarious, amazing guy.
Spelling bee champ, everyone is not wired to spell well. I hope you don't call your hubby an illiterate idiot. No wonder he's apologetic and sensitive...
This is messy MAN writing =D obviously this boy is too smitten by this girl or guy to spell anything right, and stop complaining about the "you're and your" spelling, he also said the number 2 as well.
But this note made my day. :]
i hope they get to kiss :)
Some people can't type, their fingers go slower than their brain and can't keep up.
Other people have dislexia and can't spell no matter how hard they try.
Some people have never read good literature. Good spelling and grammar rub off from good books. Parents who read to their children most often have children who can spell and construct a sentence.
Some people's native language is not English.
None of these reasons is sufficient for denying another person our friendship and kindness.
Strong words for a Womble, but I feel strongly about this.
Spell "compassion."
Does he only want to kiss her because she's cute ? And if he's not ... poor girl ... But maybe she's not cute ?
"also a good speller"---i don't expect everybody to spell well, and of course I don't call my hubby illiterate, because at least he tries to get it right, asks how to spell things. the idiots are the ones who just go ahead and spell like they are in first grade. like I previously mentioned, pick up the dictionary...find a dictionary online, there are plenty! to make ridiculous errors is lazy. people trying to sound all intelligent and witty end up looking stupid and careless, really, how long does it take to look it up? these same people might just learn the correct spelling and remember it next time.......again, JMHO
No matter the grammar, the note doesn't seem to have met its target. Maybe he/she lost his/her nerve.
Thank you, Orinoco. I'm married to a brilliant non-speller who excels at working with numbers and complex tax laws that are totally beyond my comprehension. Besides, other people's poor spelling, grammar and usage have provided me with a good living for many years. I never think less of someone whose language skills are deficient by academic standards. They are likely smart and capable in other ways.
Frankly, I do not hear many males saying the word "cute". "Cute" is, well, more of a female word.(Not that guys NEVER say "cute" but females say it WAY more). So I think it's a girl writing to a guy. She's not sorry - she knows that she wanted to get as much of his attention as possible and if she bugged him in the process, she's only sorry if that'll mean she may have pushed him away.
Since she thinks now she's pushed him away, she blurts out-what's there to lose-what she's after. I don't think she's sorry for her behavior, she's sorry (for herself) if it turned him against her, though.
The most alarming thing to me about the writing of this note is that it was found on a COLLEGE CAMPUS (!). Yes, standards have much decreased over the decades, and this note is another reminder. I do believe the "2" is from the computerization of our written language so that doesn't bother me so much.
Also, I do not believe it has ever been proven that there is a gender-specific penmanship. Writing style is not male or female, rather just differs from person to person.
**Anti-grammarian Warning**Skip past as warranted** 8-)
Spelling bee champ, you're entitled to your opinion and I'm glad you don't belittle your husband. I used to share your opinion until I found myself raising a dyslexic child. He has a love for reading and was read to daily when he was young. (He's 17 now.) My son is a very poor speller, much to my chagrin, but he is not stupid or lazy. He has trouble remembering correct spelling of common words. I wish he'd use a dictionary more often, but for him it does take a long time when he has to look up literally every other word. He doesn't realize which words are misspelled. Spell-check often doesn't recognize his errors. So, short of my completing his homework for him, I've had to adjust my attitude and accept that he's not wired for good spelling. He's got a great mind and he excels at other things.
I am sorry to bore everyone with this, but this subject really hits a nerve with me. When "grammarians" label others as idiots, lazy, stupid and careless because of the way they write, it doesn't help anyone do better. In my opinion, such "judgenment" says much worse things about you than the poor spellers.
Thank you, Crisis and Orinoco.
kudos to crisis, orinoco, and also a good speller. and who ever else is nice, and says positive things. who ever else doesnt say nice things, or intelligent things(and intelligent isnt referring to grammar and spelling, but thinking), can go to heck.
also a good speller---i'm sorry for having offended you (and anyone else). i guess i did come off sounding rather narrow-minded, and i wasn't considering those with a learning disadvantage, as i have no firsthand experience with dyslexia. and i'm sorry for your son's struggle. i will sincerely try to not be so judgemental in the future.
I once wrote a similar note except instead of "kiss" I wrote "rape"
This Find looks like the "sorry" was added after the rest of the words were written.
What a sweet note to find! Thanks, Lisa.
Can't rape the willing, Tingle. Where have you been hiding?
Thanks, Spelling bee. You're a champ! 8-)
Yay! I ( for once ) wasn't even involved in that lil' spat and I'm glad you've made up.
this is really sweet, but for a college student it's really...immature, it sounds like something a middle schooler would say(no offense)<333
excuse me?? i'm in middle school!!
I wanna kiss her buttt...
she won't let meeeee..
I wanna whisper sweet nothings in herrrr ear.
I wanna hold her behind
closed doors and more
I wanna kiss her buttttt
she won't let meee!
You wanna kiss her butt?? Ewwww!!
Tim, that's "sweet nothings in her rear".
OMG I heard that song on Dr. Demento in about 1981 or '82! Hilarious!!
A Toast.. to not taking life too seriously.
That note is adorable, even with the your mistake.
And the kissing butt thing is gross guys
I agree with the Captain in my mystery ship about the "your" thing, it's SUCH a pet peeve of my mine. and i also agree with Buffy, who made me laugh hysterically because it's just so damn true. hahahaha. i love you all.
I fully agree with Tired in Bed, and all the others that said it seems oddly immature for a college student to say something like that. But I have heard of people being freshman in high school at 17, so that's still young and probably immature. some how kids seem younger now then when i was in college and high school. anyone else agree?
Come on. Age doesn't matter. It's LOVE that's immature. It turns perfectly rational mature individuals into goofy kids no matter the age. If you think you're above it all, think back to the last time you fell in love.....I bet you blush remembering the stupid little things you did!
I think you " middle school kids " are Pepper.
I think this is sweet. I mean, how often have you wondered if you were gonna get rejected or not and wished you could just ask?
Jessie, I once didn't-quite-ask but let the other person know I was interested in a kiss. I recieved a look of surprise that was trying hard not to be horror. I stopped wondering...and hinting, let alone asking! At 20, it was pretty traumatic. At over 40--yup, it still stings. (The other party wasn't all that, either.)
Spam question: How many minutes are in an hour? Depends on which class you're sitting in.
lol This reminds me of the time I heard this guy down my dorm hallway talking to his girlfriend [or ex?] through the door [our doors are thin, I can't help but hear]... and he was saying how her telling him to go fuck himself hurt his feelings and how all he wanted to do was be her boyfriend and kiss her. But I thought it was really creepy and I think they're both annoying people 8[
I like to think that its a guy writing, because it would be so much harder for a guy to admit that he gets on her nerves than it would be for a girl to acknowledge that. We women are always pointing out our flaws and expecting to be doing something wrong. But from the perspective of a guy writing, its a lot sweeter. He is making himself vulnerable by acknowledging that he gets on her nerves, but that he still likes her. Besides, its not crude, and I like that too. Its sweet and kind of innocent.
Although, I must agree that bad spelling and shorthand are a dealbreaker. It just might be my number one turn-off.
Maybe she's fat.
3 creepies!
soo cute! maybe it was a couple in midst of an argument and he wrote that to her to make up!
Surely college students wouldn't mix up their yours and you're-s.
At least I hope not.
Awww!
=]
Kiss away!
I think it would be fun if the note was one of many left in a series of scavenger-hunt-like clues that the writer was leaving in places for his intended.
I suppose there would have to be a clue for the next location for that to be the case.
Still, though, i like the idea.
I do always wonder why things get left where they get left.
story of my life.
not that people say it to me,
i have felt that way about so many boys.
