Thought You Should Know
FOUND by Molly D.
in Champaign, Illinois
I found this on my car's windshield one morning. My boyfriend's house is right across the street from the local high school. I hope Chris got what was coming to him.

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...
Two words: "Oh, snap."
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
I'm really glad Chris has been talking to the mother. Not just sleeping with her.
This is like the MTV version of NBC's "The More You Know" PSAs.
@Geek: I think Maury Povich has this particular squawk-show topic cornered. "And you are," says Maury, pausing to open the manila envelope, "NOT the father!"
Chris is so impertinently, impudently, outrageously, unashamedly barefaced! I thought they were just having sex, but actually talking to each other, now that's definitely crossing the line.
Assuming your boyfriend isn't Chris...:)
This almost looks like a teacher was trying to warn someone. If so, good for them! Warning, Warning to someone dumb enough to fall for teenage boys' bull@$#!. I have two that think their dad and I are clueless. Funny how we throw a kink in everything...hmmm
Whaa??
Whomever the girl (or guy) is seeing Chris behind his baby mama's back...
"You better run......" Now that you know. It's the only thing to do and the right thing to do!
@ Jan: I've seen Maury once or twice (while in a waiting room, as a matter of fact. Never at home, I swear) I think it's funny how the alleged father is all confident until Maury pulls out the envelope. Once the lab findings are read, the alleged father jumps up and dances around. I think if it was me, besides NOT going on TV for something like this, I'd just sit there and smile because I knew it all along. It would not make good TV though, so I won't be on Maury anytime soon.
But what's the Finder's relationship to Chris? Why was this on *her* windshield? What does it have to do with her boyfriend living across the street from the high school? Oh, the questions...
First time I have ever heard of the *father* as "expecting." Mostly that is the mother's job. Most fathers find their progeny unexpected, no matter how much they talk to (or sleep with) the mother, or if they are married or not.
What an abrupt, strange way to put the message: "Hey, you are not Chris' first choice, he is already seeing someone."
"You were seen together this weekend..." Obviously not by the note-writer, who seems to enjoy being a harbinger of relationship doom. Let's just scuttle a little butt, shall we? Sounds like the writer (who didn't sign the note, notice) is like one of those women on the soap operas who draw someone aside and say, "Crystal, we have to TALK." And then lays down the law about something that is in no way any of her business! I think the anonymous writer has seen too many soaps and has come to believe that this sort of behaviour is normal. You got an issue, lady--face the person. Chris can talk to his baby's mother and you can't talk to the recipient of the note? What's wrong with this picture? Or are you just enjoying a little vicarious troublemaking?
yay, I am the first to say it:
Molly D, what were you doing at HIS house? ... Page me later!
Is Chris a girl or a guy? What makes you think that? Couldn't Chris be the other?
How credible do you think this note is if the writer couldn't even sign his/her name? Not even initials. Why wouldn't they reveal the source of this scandalous info? And why's the writer paying so much attention to what Chris does and with whom?
I'm so confused about this note.
"until you were seen together this weekend" - Is that "you and Chris..." or "you and the mother..."?
The Found Dudes are notorious for not including all the find when they post it. The find description often leaves us scratching our collective head wondering what the comment is referencing (i.e. who's Alice? what P.S?). There may have been a signature but only Molly D. and the Found Dudes know for sure.
Chris' sperm recepticle was still dating him until he was caught two-timing her with the intended recipient of the note. May have been Molly, may not. Who knows? Who cares?
Librarian
I find it confusing too. I think Crhis and the note recipient "were seen together"
Baby Basil
I was happily "expecting" my daughters. It was my wife who was pregnant, but we both "expected" the arrival of the baby. Kind of inevitable, actually. :)
I find it suspicious when people tell other people such things just because they "think they should know." Most people mind their place, people who don't, usually have motives that go beyond merely thinking you should know.
The mother...of what?
Hahah! At first I thought it read ".....has been sleeping with his mother..."
Yikes!
I think the note-writer is the mother, the very same pregnant girl that Chris had been talking to and sleeping with until he had been seen with the note recipient. The note-writer is also the nameless passive bystander who saw Chris with this other girl. That's why they had been talking and sleeping together UNTIL he was seen with the other girl. After that, the note-writer dumped Chris and wrote this note to ensure he wouldn't be able to carry on with the new girlfriend either. She made it mysterious because she didn't want Chris to know she was the one stirring the pot.
I can't believe I figured this out. There must be something wrong with this theory. I'm never good at this kind of ridiculous soapy intrigue!! @Librarian, your comment led me to enlightenment I believe. It was: "until you were seen together this weekend" - Is that "you and Chris..." or "you and the mother..."?
However, questions remain. Why was the note on the finder's car? Is Chris the finder's boyfriend? Is the finder the other girl? What does the high school have to do with it? Are Chris and Molly high school students too? Or has Chris been messing around with high school girls? The finder tells us about the high school to throw us off track, perhaps. It seems unlikely that a high school kid would randomly place such a note on a stranger's car.
This has the makings of a soap opera for sure!
A minion meant this note for Damian's car that happens to look just like the car Molly the poster drives.
Chris is a girl (like "It's Pat"). She was distraught over her 'unexplained' pregnancy, and had been staying with the nuns down at the Sisters of Perpetual Motion Convent. Since the outbreak in the community of all Juno copy-cat pregnancies they lacked the space so she was sleeping with the Mother Superior <kinky>. Damian had been looking for Chris, and found her. The Mother Superior spotting yhrm together realizes Chris was carrying the spawn of Satan <jealous> and immediately kicked her Rosmary-babyesque ass back out onto the streets....
yhrm? "them" - dang keyboard
Wow, I sent this in more than a year ago. I had almost forgotten about it. I also realized my description of finding the note wasn't really clear. I'm a grad student who at the time was dating someone who lived across the street from a high school. I found this on my car one morning, but have no idea who any of these people are, so my best guess is that Chris, the other gal, and the baby momma are all high school students and someone mistook my car for one of theirs. They could also be college students, since a lot of the houses in the area are full of college kids. There was no signature or anything else on the note.
Thought you should know -- because I like to spread bad news. I'm acting all concerned, but inside I'm hoping to see you react with rage. I enjoy seeing people unhappy, and drama's my middle name. I thrive on gossip, you know. Pleeeaaase don't let me down!
@ Molly D: Is this the same high school as in the FIND the other day with the stip club beside it? If so, we have the makings of a great reality TV show.
I'll bet Chris and the intended note recipient would have been two real fighting Illini had the proper person gotten the note instead of Molly.
(BTW, great library school there in Champaign/Urbana!!)
Hey Molly D, I think I know you! Are you GSLIS?
@Librarian, speaking of Champaign/Urbana, do you know if that wonderful restaurant Aunt Sonya's (Sophie's?) is still there? It was close to a hotel where I used to attend science fiction conventions around Thanksgiving-time back in the days of big hair and dotcom booms.
i am inspired. i think i will start leaving anonymous notes on windshields signed, 'thought you should know'
@ Grumpy .. dunno. I haven't been in the little twin cities since, um, 1988 (wowzers!). Ask Molly D, who seems still to be there. Or (affecting my best 'librarian voice') - go look it up!
@Molly D:
A year! That baby has likely entered the world, all slick with birth-matter, and screaming... and this whole time, Chris's weekend lady never got the note...
I wonder if she's noticed yet that Chris occasionally shows up smelling like regurgitated milk.
@Emily, yes I'm at GSLIS!
re: Aunt Sonya's, looks like they closed in 2005: http://media.www.dailyillini.com/media/storage/pape
So many people are painting the note-writer's intentions as bad - a gossip monger, drama queen, busy-body. But why can't she just know what's going down and have a serious problem with boys who cheat? I was in the situation that the receiver was in, and I wish someone would have told me sooner. A$$holes shouldn't be allowed to get away with hurting people just because the people around them want to 'mind their own business.'
@ Molly D and Emily ... GSLIS alum here.
Thanks, Molly D. I took Librarian's advice and found the same article you cited. Sorry to hear they are gone.
This is turning into a crapola day - closed restaurants, dead acquaintances. gumble, grumble
@Grumpy: maybe some tacos for your grumblimg tummy? But first, do you mind scratching our collective backs? Right there, just below the left shoulder blade. Thanks.
8-)
HA! This is so funny, a GSLIS reunion on Found! I miss CU, lift a pint at Esquire for me!
Joh(n) and I went to separate schools together.
@Geek- Thanks to you, my kids keep asking why I keep laughing while I am on my computer- you got me on both of today's Finds!
Pretty good zinger, Mona.
