Went to Cabin
FOUND by Steve
We were camping and, after going on an afternoon hike, we came back to our car to find this note under the windshield wiper. My wife really hates it when I announce that I am going to do that. Gross, but informative.

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 love that this person felt the need to write four exclamation points. I feel like I would have to stop myself after two...
this isn't a real "find" if you know the story behind it/your wife wrote it.
If this family practiced low-impact camping, the kids wouldn't have the emphatic need to hightail it to the cabin to do their business. For the benefit of Steve and his family, here's some advice from a low-impact camping website, to which I add this comment: If ever there is a time to "leave no trace," it's when relieving oneself, wilderness or not!
From www.hikearkansas.com: Keep bathroom duties out of sight. This seems rather obvious, but not everyone seems to understand. You need to get completely out of sight of the trail and any water supply to do your business. Dig a small hole, fill it in and cover it up when you're done. Why do people still leave their mess next to the trail?
That's good advice, Jan! Although I have done a lot of hiking, I have never seen anyone's poop mess by the trail, thank goodness.
People don't have enough sense to clean up after their dogs, why would they care about cleaning up their own doo-doo.
I don't understand the explanation. Who wrote the note? Who took the kids? Who gives a shit? Sorry, it's late here. Maybe it will make sense after I've slept.
thing is, let kids poop beside a trail, next thing is on the sidewalk, beside the driveway, anywhere and everywhere. just an extension of the little boys who learn how to 'water a tree' then have no qualms about applying that skill to the landscaping in the mall (mine actually did that...)
Relieving yourself publicly (whether visible or not) is a misdemeanor in the UK and Europe. In England it is known as "committing a nuisance." It is punishable by law. Good thing to know.
This was definitly written by a Dad.
Poop is funny.
Sorry to bring something COMPLETELY off topic, but is anybody else having trouble getting to Postsecret? It took me to a blog written by Nicole (who is NOT Frank) and I don't know what's up.
This is rather a pointless find. I dislike it.
Lizardbits: I had the same problem. Clearly this Nicole is evil and out to ruin our Sunday. Grrr.
so.. let me get this straight. This note was apparently written by a stranger, and left it on your car, because they went into your cabin, to use the bathroom.
I think i might have phrased it differently, were i to leave a note like this. I agree with Herve, that this note was probably written by a male.
when i first saw this find, i thought it meant 'went to cabin, kids, [I] need to shit'. this sentance is in need of some punctuation. Nicole better move her empty blog prety soon, or else...
Thank goodness that 1) I'm not the only one that runs to Postsecret Sunday mornings and 2) that I'm not crazy.
It almost sounds like it's coming from a friend, really. I know a lot of people who call their friends "kids." This was the end of a long weekend roadtrip with students between the age of 16 and 23 and it is now an inside joke. To spread the love they left this completely nonsensical note and laughed their butts off on the way home. "Dude, you did that??" "Shit yeah, kid, this is the best camping trip ever!" Ah, another summer movie hit. "I know where you shit (shat? shitted? poo-ed.) last summer"
Definitely a frustrated dad. Little kids are hilarious, though. I really hope that this is how the kid phrased it to the dad, "I gotta take a shit" not "I have to go potty", because for some reason that image makes me giggle.
I was once in a public bathroom and there was a little girl in one stall with her mom )or grandma or some other adult female person)and she was crying and asking the woman to "squeeze the poops out" of her because she couldn't do it. I couldn't help but laugh. I am a bad person.
Lizardbits - I was JUST trying to get on Postsecret and had the same problem.
And Nicole really needs to stop f'ing up my Sunday. Someone call Frank!
i had the same problem with postsecret! thats my favorite part of sunday. i hope nicole is happy with herself.
There's no beating around the bush with this FOUND. At least someone is honist and candid :-P
Glad it's not only my Postsecret link that isn't working. Glad I'm not the only one who looks at Postsecret Sunday mornings. Better get it fixed soon!!
So glad I am not the only post secret crazy...
Poo notes makes me laugh!
whistlingspy's comment reminded me of Puff's neighborhood again. In the back yard of our house was a metal storage shed. The door latched shut, but it wasn't locked. One day we found a fresh poop on the floor of the shed. I thought it was a dog's, but couldn't figure out how a dog would get in there. Turned out it was the 3-year-old neighbor boy or his 4-year-old sister. According to the girl, the little brother did it. These two kids were left to run loose in the neighborhood for hours, completely unsupervised, and sometimes they came into our yard to play, uninvited. They were always dirty, yet not bad kids, just neglected. I was young and about 10 years pre-parenthood, but I knew it wasn't right. I knocked on their door and gave their mother a lecture about the dangers to her children, such as getting hit by a car or kidnapped. The mother looked like a bigger version of her daughter, except she didn't have any front teeth.
Maybe when she grew up, the little girl sent a card to Postsecret: "One time I pooped in the neighbor's garden shed and blamed it on my little brother."
Oh thank God! I thought I was the only Post Secret Sunday Person!
I'm really unhappy with "nicole" and her blank blog with the same name.
I hope Frank is okay? Did anyone call Frank?
I always worry that he's just overwhelmed with it all and will one day, just walk away - thus opening up that URL for someone else. Someone like: Nicole.
Oh yes, the FIND today....
Yes, well....there it is.
When you have to go you just go.
When the KIDS have to go - YOU ANNOUNCE IT.
(It can be really ugly when you don't announce it for kids.)
Steve's description of the find does not make sense to me.Did someone take their kids in his cabin to shit?
Kids always have to go at the most inconveinent times!Like after you've waited in line for a rollercoaster an hour or when you've finally set up all your stuff on the beach.
GOOD! I knew I could come here and confirm about postsecret. Nicole, who are you and why are you doing this?
And maybe kids = animals, like dogs. maybe the dogs need to shit. maybe (the story behind finding it held completely irrelevant) a woman was so sick of her home life, she ran away for a weekend of peace at the cabin and was letter her boyfriend/husband know to let the dogs out.
Can you imagine kids say "Daddy I have to go shit!" I taught my to say use, sounds better.
Yeah,what is up with post secret? Makes me feel a little edgy that it's not there.
NICOLE!!!! This must be an inadvertant move.....she obviously has no idea how many people are up in arms.
I read the explanation that the note was put on the wrong car... Steve says "WE" went on a hike and came back to this note... I read the "WE" as the family or the group or whatever... then as an aside, he says his wife hates it when he announces that he has to shit... so maybe he felt reassured that someone else also announces their need to shit. I did not read this that his wife wrote the note.
And ditto on PostSecret.... It's Sunday and I'm jonesing for it...
It's back up, but it's last week's postcards. :)
I know, post secret hasn't been updated, when that happens I go to overheardinnew york.com. Sometimes out of boredom I'll start impostering, but since I got a spanking from James I'm hold off for a while.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one having trouble with Post Secret, I'm really sad its not working though because it was the only reason I got out of bed this morning, otherwise I would still be lying under the covers.
As far as the FOUND, I think someone else wrote it and probably put it on the wrong car.
omg, poor us, poor frank:

Blogger has locked PostSecret
I hope it'll be running again in a few days, or hopefully hours.
Luckily we have found and the overheard sites.
and xkcd!
Night in Gale, I don't get the explanation, either. It was submitted by Steve, he refers to his wife hating it when he announces shit like that... indicating that he sent in his OWN note. but he said "we found it on the windshield.." I am so confused, and I despise this find. It may just be my least favorite find. ever.
the comment on post secrets said to email blogger and tell them to unlock post secrets.. but I couldn't find a contact email. Anyone?? I really need my post secret fix.
post secret is now working.
i was pretty mad at it when it didn't work in the morning.
it's updated too.
You guys are so nosey.
thank god!
i love postsecret the most. found is a good #2, and somedays it's a win.
Today it was not so good, unfortunatly.
(i collect things i find, but they're mostly in norwegian, so i don't send them in. but really, some of them makes my days.)
I know, Chrome. Would it have been so hard for him to illustrate his note with some brown marker and colorful French words?
Or maybe some poo hats?
Oh beloved Postsecret... I luvs it.
It's rather amazing to me that so many of you really thought you were the ONLY PERSON in the WHOLE WORLD who reads PostSecret on Sundays. I mean, really? PostSecret updates every Sunday. Hence, people read it on Sundays. Unique! Amazing! Um, no.
Norma Jean ?!? Did you really teach your kids to say "Daddy,I have to use shit?"
That's way weird.
I read it the way Barbara did, i.e. someone left the note on the wrong car. Not that I really give a ...
If it weren’t for PostSecret I wouldn’t be here – someone once left a comment mentioning this site and that’s how I found Found.
http://www.themanwhofellasleep.com/gossip.html is more frustrating -- he is supposed to update on a Saturday but often doesn’t, and he’s just been on holiday for two whole months!!
Nightingale, sorry to have kept you up past your bedtime. Oops, I promised I wouldn’t tell ;-) xx
brain problem - I think Norma Jean meant she taught her kids to say, "Daddy, I have to use." But I don't know.
Jonathan - That's how I found FOUND too! :)
This find is rather boring...
Yeah, but use what?
That sounds way weirder to me than "... use shit."
They both sound weird to me! But I assumed it was just "use" as in "use the bathroom." How does someone use shit?! LOL.
Jonathan, you're going to get me in trouble with Unworthy and Ancient Vivi! I can take Unworthy but Vivi's a BEAST! Plus she has super powers. I don't want to mess with her!
Ahhh.. Postsecret is back up. All is right with the world. I found FOUND through Postsecret as well.
Wow, I think the piont everyone was making as that we were all suprised anyone else read Postsecret AT ALL, not just that they read it on Sundays. Or maybe surprised that there are so many who read FOUND who also read Postsecret.
"daddy, I have to use.." maybe the kid was jonesin' for some H. (also sometimes referred to as... shit. At least in the movies.)
I found Postsecret through Found.
I found Postsecret through Found too! I like Found better.
Why does everyone think a man wrote this? I know women that use the word. It is clearly woman's handwriting. I do not know any men that write like that.
me too, and i only occasionally check postsecret, ususally when people remind me of it's existance on here.
I found FOUND through Postsecret too. I prefer it for three reasons:
1) We get something new every day.
2) I know how to comment on here.
3) The postsecrets are getting a bit shit. But maybe that's just me...
Shouldn't it be either 1.) "Went to Cabin - Kids NeedED to shit!!!!" or 2.) "GONE to Cabin - Kids Need to Shit!!!!"?
I can deal with scatological humor or bad grammar, but both are a bit much.
And Steve's explanation seems to be missing a sentence in the middle.
Taken altogether, this is not my favorite find.
I think someone left it on his car mistakenly thinking it was someone else's car.
Nothing like getting straight to the point.
All of them?
All of the kids needed to shit at the same time?
this note makes me happy. I want it on a hat.
wait, so did he write it or did someone randomly leave it there... or Im I just retarded?
