Office She-yit
FOUND by Catherine
in Saint Albans, Vermont
I volunteer at the local library used bookstore (it's in the basement of the library, I can't really call it a store). Anyway, we receive thousands of books every week, and I found this 3x5 card to-do list inside one of them.

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...

Please oh please say that he/she put office she-yit. That is the best to-do list ever. I try to write funny things in my notes to amuse myself when I study. I'll start doing the same for my to-do notes now.
She-yit...I'd assume that this is a southern persons to do list...I love it, that's officially the word of the week...Sheeee-yit.
Nice, quite a pile of work, I hope the author had a whole week to do it, seems impossible for less. what's the last point?
i wish people would send in more interesting finds, there must be better stuff out there than this!
andrew, i beg to differ! this is the stuff life is made out of. do you not find comfort in the fact that posting this to-do list shows that you aren't the only one in the world pulling your hair out with all the she-yit on your personal to-do list?
i like this find!
Anyone else notice that the last "item" looks like it says, "Waste Barry"? Hm.
Did this person have a seizure while finishing the list?
'Stove' as a verb is interesting...
i misspell intentionally when i write to-do lists, too! i'll also write things like "get a life," or "check out that hot guy in dramatic impulse class; do things to get his attention."
She-yit, Andrew: How fabulous were the last six finds YOU sent in?
Joan: I think the last item is "Write Barney." My own to-do lists always include writing long-overdue letters.
This person is appearently drunk. They started out the list sober and added to it over the course of a few cocktails. I know after about 7 beers, I have to take care of the "storms" that are on my list.
I think the last point is 'walk barry' thats how i read it anyway and thats y favourite bit - i think barrys his/her pet alligator
It amazes me that anyone would take the time to insult someone's find!
I think that last one is "Walk Barney" or some other dog's name. Or maybe it's Water Burn. Is the one above it Transfer Beer?
This is cute. What a wide variety to things 'to do' as well - from "plant trees" to " office she-yit" - that's a full day and then some if you ask me.
This reminds me. I need add pull board & stove 'em to my own to-do list.
andrew in Eugene, why don't you send in your own hot juicy finds instead of complaining that they're not good enough. Start your own (much better) website. :rollseyes:
Is the second from last one "transfer bar"?... clearly he/she got a bit carried away with moving some of the alcholic drinks there ;-)
This is a great find! Love how they say office she-yit, that's something I would say. Not sure what the third from the bottom says.. Geometry something but after that I believe it reads transfer bar and write Barry and at the top maybe Pull board and store 'em, sounds like alot to get done!
I thought it said "write barry" - the two above it really threw me though.
I don't think the writer was drinking, just exasperated over all the she-yit they had to do. Looks like all of it got done though, good job!
WRITE. BARRRY.
!
OH
OH
OH
She-yit
I love it
Maybe he/she is from Texas like me :D
This is how I read it:
plant trees?
pull board + store 'em
vacuum car
turn over garden
bike x 2
office she-yit
storms
geometry search
transfer bev
write Barry
and that's how my handwriting looks when I'm sober. :)
If you look, the "r" in "store 'em" looks a lot like the one in "turn," and I guessed "bev" since the "v" in "vacuum" is pretty similar. "Geometry search" sounds like a grad student thing to do.
I like the combination of small things (write Barry, vacuum car) and those things that never seem to get done (take out storm windows, office she-yit).
I thought the last thing said "White, Barry" referring to Barry White.
Loved this find! and I agree with all that K said.
Love the "She-yit" word. It's like the ghetto speak or Texan how ever you see fit. Either way very neato!
This is a perfect to do list!! I was reading every ones theory as to what the last "to do" was...I thought at first it said "wax barney" whoa~ Stay away from the shiny purple dinosaur...
She-yiiiiiiiiit!
I really dont think the she-yit is just a southern/texas thing because thats how my dad says it and he is from Iowa...so please dont just assume things like that

angela, why do i think you must wear a very stiff petticoat?
Ab in la la land...you made me seriously LOL with your "Waste Barry" HA! Waste Barry. That was gold.
I think the last one says "wake Barry." Maybe Barry's narcoleptic. And at first glance, I thought the third-to-last one said "scomedy seach," which is something that should be on everyone's to-do list.
By the way, you took the words right out of my mouth, Lucy. There must be bigger and better things to get one's knickers in a twist about.
I also thought that last one said "wake Barry"... maybe to let Barry know that the boards had been stoved and the she-yit taken care of?
Sometimes poor eyesight makes for some funny reading... I thought the last entry was "Walk Bong"... huh? oh well!
I love how the person looses interest in the list as he's writing it. The first few are readable and have a sort of a star by them, then they turn into little X's....and then at the bottom, it is scribbled, almost unreadable, and the stars have turned into just a dash.
"Uncle Barry" ?
Maybe he has an uncle named Barry he has to write to / phone call ?
