Reminder
FOUND by Megan
in Massachusetts
I found this on the back of a flyer we have at our bookstore that explained our renovations. Apparently the person did not plan ahead for any empty boxes.

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...
This reminds me of those posters from the 70's The "PLAN ahead" person didn't plan ahead enough, in order to leave enough room for their entire message in the same large print.
irony at its best. great find!
I like to read it as if the person is saying that a plan is coming. Like, "Look there's a plan!" Maybe I'm not being clear. Anyway pink paper annoys me.
My first thought was - they were writing in a lecture or something...and one had whispered that they were moving.
The other wrote his/her response in big letters - the best advice for moving: PLAN AHEAD....the mover-to-be wrote back "do you have any boxes?"
Guess "planning ahead" started right then and there. Pretty good I'd say.
Good find! I need to take that advice right now.
PLAN a box.
Do you have any empty heads?
I believe "PLAN ahead" was an irritated response to the empty box request.
This is the same kind of note I got from my uterus when I was thinking about not having children. When it asked for boxes, I got really excited, hoping it was going to move out, but it never said anything else after that.
sounds like a planning complex
The "PLAN" is so HUGE! If you really need to do more planning ahead, writing it really large will not help. They should read a book or something - maybe buy a planner instead of using random scraps of paper.
I do like thinking that the person reused the piece of paper. Yah for recycling!
Jo, do uteri really need to ask for boxes? You'd think they could find one pretty easily on their own.
And while we're on the topic of your uterus...could that be where Eggs8675309 has been hiding out for the last week or so?
Yes Flargy, it did find a box. A big, empty, sad, dusty box.
If Eggs(nice Tommy Tutone reference) is like me and can only access this glorious site from work, he has probably been shitcanned. Or on vacation in my uterus. The view is to DIE for!!!!!
I hate moving. i don't plan ahead. i prefer to have one or two REALLY BAD days than to spread the move out over a couple weeks of general shoddiness and stress.
i agree with SpaJunkie about the origins of this note, but i think the "empty boxes" request was first, and the writer of the "PLAN ahead" is completely insane. Turned the paper upside-down and wrote the huge letters. Obviously a marketing person thinking this sort of thing will make their message more impact-ful. Fucking marketing people. i hates them.
The shocking reality of the note as I understood it - it hitting me with my head turned upside down - is that one should plan ahead when staring a relationship, remember to have boxes to remove your shit from the apartment in a hurry.
No no no. This is from Boxman, as he planned his costume. "Plan a head."
