Internet Is Laughing Out Loud At 23-Year-Old Hidden Message This Couple Finds While Renovating Their House
Alex and Jess Monney, a couple from California, were renovating their bathroom recently when they made a quite wonderful discovery. While the places that we call home feel to us as they are ours and ours alone, sometimes we get a reminder that quite often, many other people have also inhabited the same space and likely had just as strong a connection.
This was the case when the couple found, hidden inside the bathroom wall, a cheeky note from Mr. and Mrs. Shinseki, previous owners of the house. Along with a cute photo of themselves, the Shinsekis just wanted to know, what was wrong with the way they had modeled the bathroom? The tongue-in-cheek time capsule also included a picture of the rabbit the Shinsekis owned, with “I’m potty-trained” reassuringly written alongside.
After sharing the discovery on Twitter, Alex and Jess’s story quickly went viral and inspired others to share their own bizarre remnants of previous homeowners. As well as this, unanswered questions needed to be answered such as: Who are the Shinsekis and where are they now? Is their rabbit still alive? As of now, the hive mind of the internet is still trying to solve these particular mysteries, time will tell if the answers are found!
Scroll down below to check out the note for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

My father wrote a message on the wall every time he changed the wallpaper "My wife forced me to change the wallpaper ..AGAIN!".... with month and year, so he had a proof when my mother wanted to change two years later again....

My dad remodeled his kitchen and nailed his thumb to the wall. Left a note and a dollar. "Nailed thumb here, re doing the damn kitchen. Here's a dollar for luck that you dont do the same".

I hope you mean "hammered his thumb," otherwise that's a hell of a screw up and incredibly more painful.

Back to 1984 my family got a state flat in the building constructed by soldier. The Soviet Union used conscripted soldiers with mental or disciplinary problems and sent them to the so called Building Batallions. They rarely seen any weapons but they served 24 months bulding stuff for the great motherland, it was slavery sort of, as they never got any pay except for petty money for cigaretts. I found a carved piece in the window where one of the slaves put his name, number of unit and demobilisation year, 1984. Creepy, right?

The house I grew up in (which we sold/left in '84) was just purchased from the people that bought it from us...took a tour the first day it was on the market and saw my initials/message from our last day there was still standing in the garage (right under the initials/message left from the owners before us).

I love this idea... I found a message on the bath tub at my house : "Posée séptembre 1938"

When a contractor was re-plumbing my bathroom in 2014 I stashed a plastic bag in the wall with newspapers from 2010, 2012, and 2016 celebrating the SF Giants' World Series wins. I put silica grains in the bags to keep them from getting moldy and a note describing the changes I've seen during my residency since 1982. I have found newspapers in the building's walls from 1927 and 1964 and hope my 'time capsules' are likewise discovered in some distant era.
