Amazing.
A woman on Reddit has gone viral after she made a hilarious discovery underneath some wallpaper in her house, leaving readers of her post in bits.
Deciding that her home needed some new wallpaper, this one Reddit user took it upon herself to strip back the old wallpaper only to find the previous owner of the house had left a message on the wall – and thankfully it was a funny one.
Leaving behind a hilarious piece of DIY advice, the note had been there since the 90s.
The note was left by Jon, who we can only assume was the previous home owner, and was dated nearly 25 years ago on 21 December 1997.
Reddit user Brilliantas share the photo a few years back but it seems to be doing the rounds online once again.
In the note, Jon said: “If you ever need to wallpaper this room again, it will take eight rolls of wallpaper. I bought just six rolls at £17 per roll on 5/12/97 and I didn’t have enough. It really p***ed me off.”
Many of the people in the comments of the post loved Jon’s note, with one person writing: “What kind of madman puts up wallpaper 4 days before Christmas?”
Another said: “Jon, wherever you are, you’re a bloody star.”
A third added: “In fairness to Jon, this wallpaper has lasted 23 years. It was a good investment imo.”
Other commenters recalled similar moments they had in their own homes, some doing something similar to Jon or others being the Reddit user who posted it.
One recalled: “When I was like 17 we redid the flooring in my room, I wrote ‘free your mind you’re a*s will follow’ on the slab.
“An elderly couple bought the place, I like to believe they went to put some carpet in to keep their feet warm, but ended up living their best life listening to the chili peppers, taking it one spliff at a time.”
Another added: “I still plan to paint a big moustache next time I redecorate, so in the far future when we strip the walls to decorate again, I can turn to my wife and say ‘you found my secret stash’.”
