Like that one Modern Family episode where Mitchell finds the notes saying “GET OUT” and “RUN OR YOU WILL DIE” in his desk on his first day. When really it was the previous employee trying to motivate himself to go outside and exercise lol
Yes! Juliet left the messages on the treadmill to motivate Shawn. The phone got stuck in the treadmill too, so Shawn saw the red light and thought there really was a bomb
It’s a wonderfully weird big little big show!! I remember waking up to episodes airing late at night during some bleaker times. It really cemented itself as a lightheartedly serious and goofy show for me and I’ve loved it since. I hope that your wife never stops loving it, it’s such a vv good show!!
“The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down” sounds like that bus that works too much, B. Gotta learn to slow down and spell the roses every once in a while, bapa.
> **Shawn:** I'm starring in the elliptical version of Speed, and you're guilting me over money?
> **Gus:** Just for the record, It's more like Lethal Weapon 2. The one where Danny Glover found the bomb attached to his toilet.
> **Shawn:** God, I would kill to be on a toilet right now.
I suspect her English is poor and in her native language it might have been a nice instead of creepy message. 😂😂😂If your handwriting is this bad and your english as well it is best not to write notes at all😬
It's just a motivational thing I've heard multiple people repeat.
The idea being that nobody's coming to "save you" in life, so you have to fix your own problems. Not that you're in direct danger but that a lot of people sit around waiting for the thing or person that will save them from this or that problem.
It's kind of a cheesy thing to begin with anyway (like most motivational stuff), and it doesn't work at all entirely out of context like this.
I like to think OP is in a coma, and this is one of those seemingly nonsensical things manifested by their subconscious from people gathered around the bedside trying to tell OP they need to wake up.
I talked to a guy at the front desk. He agreed it was disturbing and said it's the first time he's seen anything like this. They asked what they could do to make things right. I said at minimum move our room and ensure the same housekeeper doesn't service the room. He said he's afraid to move our room tonight because the same housekeeper may get assigned to clean the room tomorrow (they're gone for the day). The GM of the hotel will talk to me tomorrow morning before the housekeeping staff arrive to discuss next steps. Better believe the latch will be on the door tonight and I'll be on high alert, just in case. I'll keep you all posted.
Haitian Creole doesn’t automatically mean it’s voodoo!
This could mean that English is not the housekeeper’s first language. In that case, they might not realize how creepy this message comes across.
It’s been said online a lot as an inspirational quote, so it’s likely a non-native English speaker could easily think it’s something normal and positive to say to a stranger! I hope that’s all it is
I’m definitely rolling my eyes at OP automatically jumping to voodoo because it could be Haitian Creole 🙄. It’s likely this was supposed to be something sweet and motivational that didn’t come across the right way
In all seriousness, this seems like something said to someone who's been holed up in a state of depression never leaving their room. Does that apply at all? If not....then yeah I'd feel a bit sus about it
Or perhaps someone from a foreign country, who is learning a different alphabet, but there’s no way that would happen with a maid at a hotel of all places /s /s /S!!!
You’re so dumb dude lol it’s a maid from a foreign country trying to be nice. That’s probably a translated phrase from her country. She wrote a little heart and now, because of you, she’s gonna get reprimanded by her boss. For a nice little gesture.
I don’t think a heart alone makes this less creepy. If anything, if it truly isn’t malicious, the GM will simply say “hey that kind of freaked out our guests, please don’t write notes like that”. If it’s an honest mistake there’s no reason to fire them or even really reprimand them, but it is worth letting them know their note was inappropriate and made someone nervous. If we’re considering it’s just a language barrier, they may even appreciate it. I would certainly want to know if what was intended to be nice was creepy so I wouldn’t do it again lol
I don't think I'd like to find a possible weird threat or a heart on a note from housekeeping. Maybe a happy face beside the name or a drawing of a cat
Bro, this is probably just some poor lady who tried to do something cute in a language that's not hers and you are either going to embarass her at best or getting her in trouble at work at the worst
I’m really glad that you’re talking to the manager about this. God forbid a minimum wage worker that probably doesn’t speak English well tries to be nice and leave people messages that don’t cleanly translate. We’ve gotta interpret them in the worst possible way, let our imaginations run wild, and report them to management asap. It’s DEFINITELY voodoo shit
I see so many things on here where someone took a picture and uploaded it to reddit when they should have been on the phone with 911 or taken care of the situation immediately, but their first thought was to take a picture and upload it to reddit.
Posters in /r/mildlyinfuriating be like: "woke up this morning and found a dead bat lying next to me in my bed and it appears to have bitten my arm" and the commenters are like "holy shit op you need to go to the hospital you may have rabies!!! you need to go get a rabies shot now before you die, you only have until the symptoms start showing or you are guaranteed to die!" and the poster is like "i just got to work, but i guess ill go to the hospital after my shift..."
I swear redditors would post a picture a nuke going off saying "i met a girl that i liked and asked her out and she said yes. we were supposed to meet today for our first date, but I guess that's probably canceled now..." instead of finding shelter or actually reacting to a very serious situation.
Ahhh… this makes the most sense!
(In a bit more coherent English):
Nobody is coming to clean tomorrow, so you don’t have to worry about getting up.
In which case, poor lady. She was just trying to do them a favor, with her broken English. And probably won’t even understand what she did wrong if reprimanded.
"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the machine.”?
Hey OP I’m a housekeeping manager at a hotel and these tip cards get reused. It’s possible a previous guest wrote this and it was placed in your room after stayover service. My housekeepers write little notes such as “Enjoy your stay” or other fun quotes on these cards. It could be that there is a language barrier and the housekeeper assigned to your room didn’t understand the message
This must be it. Some salty guest felt the need to warn the next guest that there was not going to be a wake-up call (and possibly making extra costs).
but the post says they RETURNED to the room and found it, no? which implies theyve already been in that room, didnt see that anywhere, came back later and found it.
Bloody brilliant, makes perfect sense, thank you!
I wonder what her first language is and how that influenced the grammatical structure of the sentences.
Nobody is coming [tomorrow morning to check on you.* I tell you this] to save you [and your family.] Get up [and leave the room. This is your final warning 💀]
**This mean Silvia will have at least 24 hours to run before anyone starts to look for her*
I worked front desk at a hotel chain when I was 19. The house house keepers were also my age and would absolutely write shit like this to fuck with people
Honestly, does no one think this looks like one of the housekeepers' children got a hold of these cards and started writing on them? It looks like a little girl practicing handwriting
Final update: Silvia's first language isn't English and this was meant as a motivational quote. I was assured she would not get in any sort of trouble, but I doubt she uses the same quote going forward.
I am willing to bet (as others mentioned) that this is a way to say that "no one is coming tomorrow [to clean] to save you get up [getting up early]) if you translate literally from spanish it kinda makes sense (nadie viene, para ahorrarle levantarse)
The sucky part and I really hope im wrong is that your housekeeper might've been given a "talk" by a supervisor.
😅
Honestly OP. I'd say they have poor english and meant "The only person who can change your life is yourself."
Nobody is coming save you (You shouldn't wait around for someone to help you change your life)
get up ('pull yourself up by the bootstraps')
Even if that were true, why would a housekeeper write motivational quotes on the postcard? Why not just “have a great day” ? Especially if they knew they don’t speak the language well. Translations vary way too much to be writing such elaborate sentences like that. It’s just so random and ominous sounding, plus the handwriting looks from a child. And her name is Silvia so that means it’s not some completely different alphabet. Plus that heart under the “S” in Silvia, it looks like something a child would do. It’s just so strange lmao
"Nobody is coming to save you, get up and save yourself" is a common motivational phrase. This is probably an innocent attempt by a housekeeper who's first language isn't English to be inspirational in order to draw a tip.
It’s some kind of motivational quote
Google the phrase. You’ll find a ton of motivational videos, weird boomer Facebook post type things with that exact quote and other saying stuff like “nobody is coming to save you. Get up. Be your own hero”.
I’m assuming that’s what this is referencing. Google “nobody is coming to save you, get up” and you’ll see all of them. I don’t think Sylvia is going to come after you. Poor Sylvia is going to have a hell of a day at work tomorrow.
It's not terrifying at all. It's a motivational quote. It turned odd maybe because English is not the housekeeping's first language.
"Nobody is coming to save you. Get up." It just means "Nobody is going to help you, but yourself."
Maybe that housekeeping staff saw you had an emotional breakdown. 😂
So, Silvia originates from the Latin word for forest (Silva). It means spirit of the wood. Basically, Silvia plans to spirit you away to the forest where she can leave you forever lost and stolen.
Couple of questions first, though. It's important for her intake forms. Upper management and all.
* Why is Silvia's handwriting different from the handwriting in pink?
* Why is one done in blue ink and the other in pink? (Looks like a marker)
* Why are you afraid of a motivational quote?
* Are you going to get Sylvia fired?
Okay, okay, I'll stop. For real, though, it's a [motivational quote](https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&sca_esv=b6768ec4eb9a166c&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1080US1080&q=motivational+quote+nobody+is+coming+to+save+you+get+up&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0BBraheToOTA2odjYgHdPVhNgOy3HkcfeTHtFFIyt384q7KbVCGmMv3ybFyPvWqwaYVJQZLzWDCZUjArsMdMN5jwbdDP0Qffvr-Sb1pTn6rf_TzC5KYDH9inkdFqRcwnt19Clhksy4IpaERZ9KNVpmsDSA-tIBsrWOlwzBD8ihgfBgqivRsqSL2gcLL8R_N0kVer-eLEpNJOniD_Y8xoimzl-VdNA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjugs2etNqGAxWtk4kEHb7DD6EQtKgLegQIDBAB&biw=1920&bih=911&dpr=1) circulated on [Twitter](https://x.com/therandomvibez/status/1522252279843274752) and [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you-get-up-be-your-own-hero-inspirationalquotes-quotes-peacefullife-inspireyou--898257088158108593/).
P.S. Please, please, ask Sylvia why she used a different writing instrument. It's not a big deal, but I'm so freaking curious and I don't know why.
Why is nobody mentioning the fact that it was written in two different pens and two very different handwriting styles?? That’s what’s creeping me out the most - the apparent complete lack of critical thinking 🤨😅
I'm a housekeeper at a hotel.
90% this is written by a customer
If it is written by a housekeeper, I do not think it would be malicious unless you shat on their breakroom table. We really only write notes when we are delighted about something or want to be nice. Maybe this was supposed to be motivational.
So you wrote this yourself yeah?
Reddit is like 95% karma farming fakes.
I remember when this site wasn’t a bunch of bots, karma farmers, and pathetic losers trying to get meaningless internet points.
I think it’s meant to be a motivational quote but it just comes out oddly terrifying unfortunately
Like that one Modern Family episode where Mitchell finds the notes saying “GET OUT” and “RUN OR YOU WILL DIE” in his desk on his first day. When really it was the previous employee trying to motivate himself to go outside and exercise lol
Did this concept on psych but it was left on the treadmill and he thought he had to keep running or he'd explode or somthin
Yes! Juliet left the messages on the treadmill to motivate Shawn. The phone got stuck in the treadmill too, so Shawn saw the red light and thought there really was a bomb
Don’t have anything to contribute, just wanted to say that Psych is my comfort show I love it so much
My wife loves it! I’m slowly coming around to it. Very peak early 2000’s and I’m here for that.
Waffles!
🍍 (with love from my daughter)
It’s a wonderfully weird big little big show!! I remember waking up to episodes airing late at night during some bleaker times. It really cemented itself as a lightheartedly serious and goofy show for me and I’ve loved it since. I hope that your wife never stops loving it, it’s such a vv good show!!
I love that show! I thought I was the only one
There are tens of us
Eleven!
12
Same, literally rewatching it right now while I recover from an injury.
It was my depression show during highschool 😭🖤I hope you recovery swiftly and healthily from your injury, OldWar1140!!
No that’s the plot to the movie “speed”
I think it was called “The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down.”
I've heard it both ways.
“The Bus That Couldn’t Slow Down” sounds like that bus that works too much, B. Gotta learn to slow down and spell the roses every once in a while, bapa.
I would've won that spelling bee, Shawn.
God I love psyche fans
You know that’s right.
You heard about Pluto?
That’s messed up.
Don't be the only game at Chuck E. Cheese's that does work.
> **Shawn:** I'm starring in the elliptical version of Speed, and you're guilting me over money? > **Gus:** Just for the record, It's more like Lethal Weapon 2. The one where Danny Glover found the bomb attached to his toilet. > **Shawn:** God, I would kill to be on a toilet right now.
Speed was on a bus. This is on a treadmill you idiot
So... Speed III?
You know that’s right.
I had Alexa tell me "if you don't go to bed now, you will die uneventfully" every night
Silvia is going through some things right now lol
I suspect her English is poor and in her native language it might have been a nice instead of creepy message. 😂😂😂If your handwriting is this bad and your english as well it is best not to write notes at all😬
She took the time to make a little heart and everything and now she’s going to get a talking to from her boss. Life really sucks sometimes :(
She’s probably the sweetest lady
Reddit writes fantasy about sweet housekeeper who gets yelled at unfairly.
She should create a daily calendar with sayings like this. Imagine your level of motivation each new day.
“Every day you come closer to your death. Tell your family how much you love them. 🙂”
“You will never see your children again.” (They grow up so fast. Cherish the moments of innocence and joy.)
It's just a motivational thing I've heard multiple people repeat. The idea being that nobody's coming to "save you" in life, so you have to fix your own problems. Not that you're in direct danger but that a lot of people sit around waiting for the thing or person that will save them from this or that problem. It's kind of a cheesy thing to begin with anyway (like most motivational stuff), and it doesn't work at all entirely out of context like this.
Handwriting this bad? That’s better than mine
I like to think OP is in a coma, and this is one of those seemingly nonsensical things manifested by their subconscious from people gathered around the bedside trying to tell OP they need to wake up.
you LIKE to think that?
Yes, if this kid has access to tik tok there is 1 million videos of people saying this same quote on motivational/self help pages
Wtf? Did you ask the front desk what exactly this was? We need answers immediately! 😂
Not yet. I just returned to the room, saw the note and immediately posted. I'll lyk after I speak with them.
**OP died** Nobody is coming to sove you get up
Still waiting…maybe you’re right.
Op is definitely dead
RIP OP
Are we gonna try and avenge him or…?
What did you hove in mind?
So what we’re gonna do is all meet up and then proceed to form a giant robot with our bodies before going on to obliterate this hotel from existence
Just as long as im not touching trudy... I freaking *hate* trudy
By Grapthar's hammer, OP shall be avenged!
Nah we’d win
o7
or got soved
Op had his karma priorities set straight
What if it was spelling errors? **nobody is coming to save you get out**
Do you think housekeeping is illiterate? They clearly wrote what they meant: Nobody is comialoft to sove you hotels Get up
I talked to a guy at the front desk. He agreed it was disturbing and said it's the first time he's seen anything like this. They asked what they could do to make things right. I said at minimum move our room and ensure the same housekeeper doesn't service the room.

Better believe the latch will be on the door tonight and I'll be on high alert, just in case. I'll keep you all posted.
Need updates this is so funnyscary
sove is the Haitian creole word for save.
Ohhh fuck... Now I'm really scared. Voodoo terrifies me.
Haitian Creole doesn’t automatically mean it’s voodoo! This could mean that English is not the housekeeper’s first language. In that case, they might not realize how creepy this message comes across. It’s been said online a lot as an inspirational quote, so it’s likely a non-native English speaker could easily think it’s something normal and positive to say to a stranger! I hope that’s all it is
I’m definitely rolling my eyes at OP automatically jumping to voodoo because it could be Haitian Creole 🙄. It’s likely this was supposed to be something sweet and motivational that didn’t come across the right way
Bro is in a real life horror movie
The call is coming from inside the house lol
In all seriousness, this seems like something said to someone who's been holed up in a state of depression never leaving their room. Does that apply at all? If not....then yeah I'd feel a bit sus about it
I've been here 1 night with my family. Not applicable.
Oh shid oh fuck
Maybe not meant for you but for someone else in the family?
Not to be *that* guy, but if it’s Haitian, it’s vodou, which is distinct from say Louisiana voodoo
RemindMe! 2 days
Does that still work?
Yes
This looks like a child's hand writing to me, I'd assume it was a joke if so. Idk how it ended up in your room, though.
Or perhaps someone from a foreign country, who is learning a different alphabet, but there’s no way that would happen with a maid at a hotel of all places /s /s /S!!!
You’re so dumb dude lol it’s a maid from a foreign country trying to be nice. That’s probably a translated phrase from her country. She wrote a little heart and now, because of you, she’s gonna get reprimanded by her boss. For a nice little gesture.
I don’t think a heart alone makes this less creepy. If anything, if it truly isn’t malicious, the GM will simply say “hey that kind of freaked out our guests, please don’t write notes like that”. If it’s an honest mistake there’s no reason to fire them or even really reprimand them, but it is worth letting them know their note was inappropriate and made someone nervous. If we’re considering it’s just a language barrier, they may even appreciate it. I would certainly want to know if what was intended to be nice was creepy so I wouldn’t do it again lol
I hope it will end up as a funny story but unfortunately you never know how a boss or manager will act
He could have gone about it better, but its in everyone's best interest that this was brought to someone's attention and won't keep happening
I don't think I'd like to find a possible weird threat or a heart on a note from housekeeping. Maybe a happy face beside the name or a drawing of a cat
Not everyone’s first language is English, I don’t believe it’s a threat 🤷♂️
Bro, this is probably just some poor lady who tried to do something cute in a language that's not hers and you are either going to embarass her at best or getting her in trouble at work at the worst
wow talk about a mountain out of a molehill, jesus christ, what an insane reaction.
Jesus christ yall watch too many fuckin murder mystery TV shows lmao
I’m really glad that you’re talking to the manager about this. God forbid a minimum wage worker that probably doesn’t speak English well tries to be nice and leave people messages that don’t cleanly translate. We’ve gotta interpret them in the worst possible way, let our imaginations run wild, and report them to management asap. It’s DEFINITELY voodoo shit
Wow got some hardworking person in trouble for some harmless language mistake. :(
Right? Its not even a big deal people are so weird
Your first thought is to post on Reddit? Another example of how social media has taken control of people’s lives.
Hey if I'm going to get killed at least I want the internet to know about it
Trynna get some good karma before they meet their maker
Livestream that shit!
Can't wait for this to show up in the unsolved mysteries or rbi sub.
I see so many things on here where someone took a picture and uploaded it to reddit when they should have been on the phone with 911 or taken care of the situation immediately, but their first thought was to take a picture and upload it to reddit. Posters in /r/mildlyinfuriating be like: "woke up this morning and found a dead bat lying next to me in my bed and it appears to have bitten my arm" and the commenters are like "holy shit op you need to go to the hospital you may have rabies!!! you need to go get a rabies shot now before you die, you only have until the symptoms start showing or you are guaranteed to die!" and the poster is like "i just got to work, but i guess ill go to the hospital after my shift..." I swear redditors would post a picture a nuke going off saying "i met a girl that i liked and asked her out and she said yes. we were supposed to meet today for our first date, but I guess that's probably canceled now..." instead of finding shelter or actually reacting to a very serious situation.
if you quickly need input on something, posting it on a 24/7 internationally available platform with many users is not the worst way to get it though.
Says the guy posting to social media.
First thought was to write the note on the card. Second was to post it on Reddit.
I think it's: nobody is coming [to clean] to save you [from having to] get up
Ahhh… this makes the most sense! (In a bit more coherent English): Nobody is coming to clean tomorrow, so you don’t have to worry about getting up. In which case, poor lady. She was just trying to do them a favor, with her broken English. And probably won’t even understand what she did wrong if reprimanded.
Keep us updated please
>immediately posted Maybe instead of going back to the room tomorrow, go outside, breath some fresh air, smile, get some perspective…
Thanks Silvia... Just the towels next time, please...
Hahaha
She doesn't speak the language well enough to tell you "sleep apnea".
Could it be… a religious message? Like? Sálvate! Save your soul! And it’s poorly translated into English?

Great movie!!!!

"From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the machine.”?
OP is just having a [carbon monoxide](https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comments/34l7vo/ma_postit_notes_left_in_apartment/) episode. Somehow.
I still think this was a creative writing exercise.
“Yes, when I asked for a wake up call, that’s not…”
Might’ve been a previous guest that wrote it. I’m sure those cards just get reused each and every time and she probably just didn’t look at it.
Nope it wasn't a guest. The pen she used to write the note was next to the card.
In your room right? So the last guest could hav definitely wrote this.
The card, nor the pen, were in the room when I left this morning. The housekeeper definitely wrote it.
It's just the guest that stays in-between you leaving and coming back for the evening
What the fuck! We don't talk about betweensies club in public, yo! You trying to pay for hotel rooms?!
Hey OP I’m a housekeeping manager at a hotel and these tip cards get reused. It’s possible a previous guest wrote this and it was placed in your room after stayover service. My housekeepers write little notes such as “Enjoy your stay” or other fun quotes on these cards. It could be that there is a language barrier and the housekeeper assigned to your room didn’t understand the message
I feel like op could say they watched the housekeeper write it and yous will still suggest it could be reused 😂
Just put up the DnD sign and you'll be fine. The killers only come for those who welcome them in.
Ok but what if the housekeeper used to be a guest, and the room you’re in is the room where they hypnotize guests into slavery?
This must be it. Some salty guest felt the need to warn the next guest that there was not going to be a wake-up call (and possibly making extra costs).
I’m hoping she brought her kid cause her sitter fell through. A kid wouldn’t be able to resist writing on something with a handy pink pen.
This was my first thought, had to have been a kid who thought it would be funny to write something like that.
Accounts for the misspelling, poor handwriting and the heart
but the post says they RETURNED to the room and found it, no? which implies theyve already been in that room, didnt see that anywhere, came back later and found it.
Am I the only one who read it as no one is coming to clean so there's no need for you to get up?
It is meant to be read as: Nobody is coming [tomorrow morning to clean. I tell you this to] save you [from] get[ting] up.
Bloody brilliant, makes perfect sense, thank you! I wonder what her first language is and how that influenced the grammatical structure of the sentences.
Nobody is coming [tomorrow morning to check on you.* I tell you this] to save you [and your family.] Get up [and leave the room. This is your final warning 💀] **This mean Silvia will have at least 24 hours to run before anyone starts to look for her*
Bingo! That's what I thought too
This. This cleaner is going to be sacked because they tried to be nice and OP is paranoid. Make this right.
I worked front desk at a hotel chain when I was 19. The house house keepers were also my age and would absolutely write shit like this to fuck with people
"Nobody is coming, (in order) to save you (from having to) get up." It's just broken English to tell you that they are letting you sleep in.
Just want to mention I never use those QR codes to tip housekeeping. I just assume management skims it or just keeps it. I leave cash.
Next time leave a tip
Honestly, does no one think this looks like one of the housekeepers' children got a hold of these cards and started writing on them? It looks like a little girl practicing handwriting
I think anyone *but* the housekeeping staff wrote it.
Was it room 1408??
100 percent she is telling you that nobody is going to clean the room so you don't have to get up.
Final update: Silvia's first language isn't English and this was meant as a motivational quote. I was assured she would not get in any sort of trouble, but I doubt she uses the same quote going forward.
Any idea what it's meant to say? I'm struggling to see the motivation in that message.
Get up and save yourself, because nobody else will do it for you
Wow you mean there was no conspiracy to murder your completely normal suburban family? I’m shocked.
Consuela back at it again
Aay...noo, nooooooo... *sprays Lemon Pledge*
*The Lemon Pledge mist turns into a smoke screen as Consuela dons a ninja outfit* 🥷
If I received this note at check out I would just assume the staff heard me crying all night.
Maybe she doesn't speak English and just copied from a website/app that gives you the quote of the day or something?
I am willing to bet (as others mentioned) that this is a way to say that "no one is coming tomorrow [to clean] to save you get up [getting up early]) if you translate literally from spanish it kinda makes sense (nadie viene, para ahorrarle levantarse) The sucky part and I really hope im wrong is that your housekeeper might've been given a "talk" by a supervisor. 😅
The literal translations is “nadie viene a salvarte, párate.” What you translated says “No one is coming, to save you to get up.”
Op updated that it was meant to be motivational and that Silvia won't get in trouble. And hopefully wont use the quote going forward
Honestly OP. I'd say they have poor english and meant "The only person who can change your life is yourself." Nobody is coming save you (You shouldn't wait around for someone to help you change your life) get up ('pull yourself up by the bootstraps')
Even if that were true, why would a housekeeper write motivational quotes on the postcard? Why not just “have a great day” ? Especially if they knew they don’t speak the language well. Translations vary way too much to be writing such elaborate sentences like that. It’s just so random and ominous sounding, plus the handwriting looks from a child. And her name is Silvia so that means it’s not some completely different alphabet. Plus that heart under the “S” in Silvia, it looks like something a child would do. It’s just so strange lmao
The highly upvoted comments saying this is "sweet" are so weird.
Well it ain’t a lie.
"Nobody is coming to save you, get up and save yourself" is a common motivational phrase. This is probably an innocent attempt by a housekeeper who's first language isn't English to be inspirational in order to draw a tip.
I wouldn't drink anything she gives you. Just in case.
My guess is it's a totally benign message from a housekeeper that is not able to express very well what she meant in English.
It’s some kind of motivational quote Google the phrase. You’ll find a ton of motivational videos, weird boomer Facebook post type things with that exact quote and other saying stuff like “nobody is coming to save you. Get up. Be your own hero”. I’m assuming that’s what this is referencing. Google “nobody is coming to save you, get up” and you’ll see all of them. I don’t think Sylvia is going to come after you. Poor Sylvia is going to have a hell of a day at work tomorrow.
“No good deed goes unpunished” Leave the motivational quotes to yourself and just write have a good day lmao or better yet, nothing at all
It's not terrifying at all. It's a motivational quote. It turned odd maybe because English is not the housekeeping's first language. "Nobody is coming to save you. Get up." It just means "Nobody is going to help you, but yourself." Maybe that housekeeping staff saw you had an emotional breakdown. 😂
"Oh, and don't forget to kill Phillip!"
Was the hotel named "California?"
I don’t like like this new Skyrim intro
I dunno. I’m kinda okay with this.
in what sense
Well for starters, it’s true. And the likelihood it’s just a prank. And kinda funny.
Yeah, kinda thought the same thing.
So, Silvia originates from the Latin word for forest (Silva). It means spirit of the wood. Basically, Silvia plans to spirit you away to the forest where she can leave you forever lost and stolen. Couple of questions first, though. It's important for her intake forms. Upper management and all. * Why is Silvia's handwriting different from the handwriting in pink? * Why is one done in blue ink and the other in pink? (Looks like a marker) * Why are you afraid of a motivational quote? * Are you going to get Sylvia fired? Okay, okay, I'll stop. For real, though, it's a [motivational quote](https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&sca_esv=b6768ec4eb9a166c&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS1080US1080&q=motivational+quote+nobody+is+coming+to+save+you+get+up&udm=2&fbs=AEQNm0BBraheToOTA2odjYgHdPVhNgOy3HkcfeTHtFFIyt384q7KbVCGmMv3ybFyPvWqwaYVJQZLzWDCZUjArsMdMN5jwbdDP0Qffvr-Sb1pTn6rf_TzC5KYDH9inkdFqRcwnt19Clhksy4IpaERZ9KNVpmsDSA-tIBsrWOlwzBD8ihgfBgqivRsqSL2gcLL8R_N0kVer-eLEpNJOniD_Y8xoimzl-VdNA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjugs2etNqGAxWtk4kEHb7DD6EQtKgLegQIDBAB&biw=1920&bih=911&dpr=1) circulated on [Twitter](https://x.com/therandomvibez/status/1522252279843274752) and [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/nobody-is-coming-to-save-you-get-up-be-your-own-hero-inspirationalquotes-quotes-peacefullife-inspireyou--898257088158108593/). P.S. Please, please, ask Sylvia why she used a different writing instrument. It's not a big deal, but I'm so freaking curious and I don't know why.
Why is nobody mentioning the fact that it was written in two different pens and two very different handwriting styles?? That’s what’s creeping me out the most - the apparent complete lack of critical thinking 🤨😅
"Girl, get up!" This might be a cultural thing...I hear this phrase often.
“I am the Shadout Mapes. The housekeeper.”
Nobody is coming to [what?] you??
" save " maybe?
Ooh, yeah that could be it, that definitely fits in the oddly terrifying category. The pink felt tip doesn't help much though.
From the hatian creole dictionary: sove ut To save*, to rescue. vi To escape, to flee, to run away, to get away. 🤷♂️
No gods, no masters, only man.
At least it's a cheery pink marker 💗
Is there anyone that Americans don't tip??
I truly hope this is clever Guerrilla marketing for a new horror movie.
I'd give her $10 for that.
OP! Still alive??
So now we all need to use the QR code to send Silvia some money bc this douchebag probably got her sacked!!
I'd be concerned about human trafficking.

I'm a housekeeper at a hotel. 90% this is written by a customer If it is written by a housekeeper, I do not think it would be malicious unless you shat on their breakroom table. We really only write notes when we are delighted about something or want to be nice. Maybe this was supposed to be motivational.
So you wrote this yourself yeah? Reddit is like 95% karma farming fakes. I remember when this site wasn’t a bunch of bots, karma farmers, and pathetic losers trying to get meaningless internet points.
Associates?
She speaks the truth.
!remind me in 24 hours
Well, did anyone come to sove you?
Did they overhear you sobbing or something?
I think Silvia brought her kid to work with her. She'll be fired now!
Update?
