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!
Meet Alex and Jess Monney, from Bay Area, California. They were renovating their bathroom recently and got a surprise
The previous owners sneakily left them a message!
And they even included a message from their family pet!

When i left my abusive ex partner - i took out every drawer in the house and wrote a big message in black marker on the underside - then put them back - a warning for his next GF - dont know if he found them yet - 8 yrs ago - lol
got it out of my system anyway
Sounds cathartic!
23 drawer bottoms
glad he doesnt use this site - he would have to take out every drawer in the house and turn it upside down to see what i wrote
It was incredibly cathartic - stuff like "if if you are a lady and reading this - get the hell out of this house NOW""
Wow! If that doesn’t work therapeutic I don’t know what will
Odd thing was - we both worked for psychiatric services lol
or future buyers of some of the furniture
I really kind of dread what the next kitchen remoddelers or household removal people will think
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....
Wallpaper is a crime against humanity.
Brit here - One word - "woodchip"- takes10 times the time and 10 times the cost to remove as it did to stick on in the 1st place - then you have to repair the walls from the damage done to remove it - dont know what they call it in the US
still wondering what woodchip paper is called in the US- in the UK it is strong paper covered with various graded sizes of woodchippings, - it sticks to the wall like superglue = the woodchippings absorb any water used to try removing it
On one wall? Not so bad. On every wall? YOU MONSTER!
woodchip looks similar to popcorn ceilings
Our house's former owners wallpapered every wall within an inch of its life. They papered the light switch and outlet covers.
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.
They said "nailed" - either way, not a *screw* up
No. I meant nailed. He was holding it hit it hard, it slid out sideways and went right in the thumb and then the wall. A freak accident. It was also toward the end of they day so he was getting frustrated and tired. Lol, that's another reason he left the note. It was such a weird accident it "needed to be documented for history" lol
