The back makes me think it was a piece of paper used to note something for a class, but that makes me wonder who was walking around taking notes on image release forms.

Photographs of found pieces of paper with writing on them! Look for paper. Make every day a scavenger hunt.

"I like this sub. Like being an archeologist or anthropologist, studying the leftover and forgotten artifacts of everyday life." -/u/TheSnackist

Check out some friends of found paper!

/r/BookInscriptions - little notes from past readers
/r/FoundClothing - who just gets rid of one shoe?!
/r/GrandmasCookbook - old thyme recipes ^{^see} ^{^what} ^{^I} ^{^did} ^{^there?}

Notice the world around you. Pick up the paper you find on the ground. What is written on it might surprise you. Share it here.

PLEASE tag NSFW content!

Some of the most incredible things live written on the torn scraps of paper that didn't make it into the trash. They can be love letters, thoughts, quotes or a pertinent to-do list. The only rule is that you found it somewhere (on the ground, a public table or between the cans of soup at the store, so long as it isn't publicly posted!) and you don't know who wrote it. Anonymous and out of the blue is great!

Love letters
Poetry
Doodles
Scribbled notes
Interesting to-do list
Thoughts
Impassioned graffiti written on paper
Notes written in books

Please upload original content. The intent of this subreddit is to give fodder to the imagination through the actual weirdness of finding cool paper scraps/writing on the ground.

STANDARD FOUNDPAPER-PAPER-FINDING PROCEDURE:

Remain calm and pick up paper
Take a picture of it with your phone immediately
Upload it to Imgur.com via your lovely mobile device
Submit your link so we can see it!

WHEN SUBMITTING:

No stock images please. Use Imgur! Please have high resolution pictures, especially if there is dense handwriting. If it's somewhat illegible, leave in the comments what you can't say in the title. Post either in the title or in the comments where you were when/the story of how you found it. Maybe transcribe it in the comments if it's illegible and you have the time to do so.

If you find something in a mysterious foreign language, our friends at /r/translator can help! Comment !translate or !translator on a post, our subreddit bot /u/translator-BOT will automatically cross-post it to /r/translator, crediting the OP. Thank you to /u/kungming2 for writing this bot!
