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...
Maybe for you!
This is a Jedi mind trick.
"I just hit your car, and the whole side is bashed in horribly; not to mention all the broken glass and the oozing fluids..."
<wave hand nonchalantly>
"...and it's no big deal."
What a kind person. I probably would've sped away really fast hoping nobody noticed.
No contact details either, you notice. Admission without responsibility. "Yeah, so? I hit your car...no big deal. Hey, at least I admitted it!
What?"
Car! Ohhhhh whoops...I thought it said Ear. Yea my ears hurt when people hit them. So do my cars.
Yeah, well, my neighbor spotted your license as you drove away, so I tracked you down, ran over your dog, terrified your children, and did it with your wife. No problem.
PS: Repair bill's in the mail.
i bopped your wife.
no big deal.
Asprin for guilt. At least they took the time..

No big deal because I've changed my name, dyed my hair and moved to Guatemala.
Dang, Mona, you know how to find them. So sorry about your hubby. (*wink*)
As for the find, this note seems like a written "Pardon me" after jostling someone at the mall. Since Jill's only comment was Hmmm it would seem there wasn't any damage to speak of, and therefore, no big deal.
This reminds me of when we had a friend over, parked in the driveway, and my mother-in-law came FLYING up the driveway, rear-ending his truck. She leans her head out the window and says, "Oh, that's okay." Yep, that's my MIL!
Me thinks someone was scribbling something down for the sake of being seen scribbling something down at the scene of the crime. Jerk.
I read somewhere that this is what you should do (if you're dishonest) when there are possible witnesses to the incident. The onlookers will assume that you've given all of your contact information in the note, so they won't bother writing down your license number.
sooo, Ms. Jill Van Sickle, WAS it a big deal? Was there noticable damage to your vehicle?
Maybe the note writer slapped her car for having a bush cheney bumper sticker or something.
Freonz.. thanks for the sympathy. But my husband's not that clever.
Speaking of which, he was parked beside a van when it was hit by an old guy in a truck. He told the owner of the van, and when van owner confronted truck driver, the truck driver said "oh really?". I hope that got resolved ok.
@Well. I've heard that too.
Jill, please describe your car. The writer may have nailed it.
And...uummmm..."Yeah, no big deal."
Would it have been a "No big deal" if Ms. Jill Van Sickle had hit YOUR car??????????
People like this author are what makes this world go round.
Asswhole.
Coward.
alternate reading:
I hit your cow. No big dead.
Thanks for that link, Mona.. what a Find! They should definitely send the whole sheBANG to Jason and Dirty Found.
What a mentsh
Same thing happened to me that happened to Megan. Only it was my irresponsible sister that slammed MY car after doing her a favor by babysitting her son all day for free while she worked. She "hit the clutch instead of the brake...oops!" Then my whole family turned against ME because I insisted on turning it in to insurance so my car could be repaired. They claim that even the insurance agent said I was a bitch. But hey, no big deal!
@ Chromey-> I've always wanted to hollow out books and hide things in them, but i respect books too much. Someone in that guy's comment section suggested Dirty Found. lol @ sheBANG, btw.
One time we were at Panda, and a van full of church kids was in line in front of us. They were the only other people in the restaurant and when they got their food, they took it to go. After we got our food, we went out to my husband's car and there was a huge dent in the back fender! No note, nothing. If you can't trust a van full of church people to at least leave a note, who can you trust?
I love this!
This is my favorite find.
Idk why it is just funny.
I have more to say about that link that really has nothing to do with the find, but is fascinating anyway, and has sparked many wild musings in my tiny little brain. Please see blog.
(ok, midlife, do you remember what Find comments that "take it to your blog" lecture came from? because I don't.)
@Gloria, I loved the Jedi mind trick comment...but that technique doesn't work very well through a note, does it? What's he going to do, draw a little picture of his hand waving? Yet he didn't.
I boiled your bunny.
No big deal.
@ MONA- You just MADE my day!! Fabulous FIND! I'd love to come across something like that (not necessarily<-sp? those kinds of pics) at a Thrift Store, Value Village (Amazing place to shop and excellent place to find FINDS'!)or even a Garage Sale.
Thanks for letting us ALL in on that link, sista'!
BTW, do you ever go in and look around and/or shop at Value Village? If not, check-it-out!!
I love Value Village, Holly. The treasures one finds there. My daughter made me buy a photo album one time, cuz there were two lonely pictures in it. Sent them to Found Magazine dot com, of course.
You know, the only reason you found this much of a note is 'cause someone saw me hit your car and I need to look like I'm doing the right thing. I could just have easily written a big F U, same concept. :P
I think they didn't really hit the car they just wanted to drive you crazy when you're looking over your car for hours trying to find any damage. No big deal.
It almost looks like this is written on the back of a buisness card. Perhaps the person's contact information is on the other side of the card? In case Jill thought it was kinda a big deal.
Or.... the accident occured with a totally diffrent car and someone playing a prank moved the card to laugh as Jill walked around her car looking for non-existant damages.
@L
I'm kinda thinking that the swooshy line drawn through the "no big deal" is like a hand wave. But it would be so much better if they actually drew a hand...
@ MONA- I sure hope Jason and the crew realize that those two, lonely pictures you FOUND in that one lonely photo album, are excellent FINDS, I'm sure.
I'd LOVE to view them...*HINT* at JASON and CREW!!
Any sign of the Finder? I know someone by that same name!! Jill--is that you??
hit it with what????
Hey everyone - this is Jill. First off, who are your "Just wondering in SE WI??"
Anyways - my car did have a strange rattle shortly after the note - however, I can't lie and say I have some sort of luxury car that shouldn't have problems.
Because I live in a downtown area, I am sure some of you are right - this wiener wrote this down so the peeps in the coffee shop next door thought he/she was doing the right thing by leaving contact info.
Whatever. It made me mad, then shortly after it made me laugh.
Jill--if it's really you, you've moved since we last talked at the Martha Boerner event at Fischer's.
american apparel really honestly does look like a soft porn site.
