Would you judge this in someone’s house?

I’m currently re-decorating parts of my house. I’ve come across a website that sells prints for the walls and I’ve found some I really like;

This house is full of love, laughter, and a little bit of what the fuck.

Pardon the mess, I decided not to give a shit today.

If you’re happy and you know it, it’s your meds!

As you can probably tell, our house is already a little bit eccentric with its decor… but would you judge someone for having prints like that on the wall with children living in the house or am I just overthinking it? 😅

I couldn't really give a shit what someone else has on their walls, short of a Nazi or Confederate flag.

And it all depends where and how big, etc.

I dated someone who had a poster in the guest bathroom that said "Holy Shitballs, you're awesome!" 🤷‍♀️

I don't know if that's better or worse than realising I have the same Frieda Khalo print as two of my coworkers.

Too busy cringing to judge

LittleBigHead · 01/03/2025 07:33

Naff and common

I wouldn’t judge, I’ve been brought up not to judge people for the decor of their homes and what they look like. I have friends with all different weird and wacky styles and more glamorous ones with classier homes, I wouldn’t judge any of them as it’s very superficial to do that

I would think, “this is my kind of person” 😀

God…

Superhansrantowindsor · 28/02/2025 22:47

Just weird.
surely you’d get sick of seeing the same words everyday?
Buy a painting instead.

charabang · 28/02/2025 22:42

I wouldn't judge. I'm a firm believer in decorating to please yourself and not an audience. If these prints have taken your fancy...buy em!

LazyArsedMagician · 28/02/2025 22:14

I don't like them but I wouldn't say anything.

Differentstarts · 28/02/2025 20:21

What in the live, laugh, love are you thinking.

tattoonewbie · 28/02/2025 20:04

I'd say it's ok to describe it like that verbally but on a print? No. Sorry

Doingmybestbut · 28/02/2025 19:35

I don’t think that’s someone I would be friends with personally, but it takes all sorts as they say. Probably some people would love it.

PacificAtlantic · 28/02/2025 19:18

It’s all personal taste. Prints with words don’t seem to age that well and I find them a bit cringe worthy. They seem to be the home decor equivalent of disposable fashion.
That being said the ones you have mentioned are better than most.

LoztWorld · 28/02/2025 19:16

The thing about these kinds of signs is they’re associated with being basic/bland/dull/a “hun” and so forth.

So if you’re specifically looking for eccentric decor, as you say, this is the very opposite.

If that doesn’t bother you, go wild. Not to my tastes but everyone is different.

Noodles1234 · 28/02/2025 19:11

Honestly yes. I’d think they were naff and tacky and if I had young children with me I wouldn’t stop but I also wouldn’t be overly fussed them being over seeing this.

i do however have a friend who has a small something along these lines and I was a little shocked. Just not me.

SoozyWoozy5 · 28/02/2025 19:09

Yes, I definitely would. Awful

Darkclothes · 28/02/2025 11:18

They were tacky and naff when you'd start seeing similar 20yrs ago! When we were recently looking to move house and I saw the standard ones without swearing, I do wonder what would posses someone to buy something like that?

If you really want such tat, have a look in charity shops where they will be very cheap!

"I do wonder what would posses someone to buy something like that?"

That would be my reaction. Those signs are tacky and juvenile, not quirky or eccentric like the OP seems to think. I'd feel a bit of second hand embarrassment if I saw them hanging in someone's home.

What’s the actual point of a toilet you can’t shit in?

IridiumSky · 28/02/2025 18:47

Not witty. Not clever. Just deeply naff, chavtastic and offensive, children or not.

Why do such things even exist?

As somebody else said, it would give the impression that you consider yourself so ‘edgy’ and ‘cool’, but in reality are just boring, without ideas of your own.

In short. Don’t do it! 😀

If you so desperately want the word ‘fuck’ on your wall, just buy a spray can and pretend you’re a street artist. At least you could say it’s art.

DalzielOrNoDalzielAndDontPascoe · 28/02/2025 17:44

Wow, so you have the infamous as-seen-on-TV 'downstairs toilet into which we do not pass solids'!!

You could always try changing it for a Saniflo 33!

bigvig · 28/02/2025 18:21

Sorry OP but you asked. I'd think you were trying far too hard to be interesting. Words printed on the wall are almost always pretty trashy and cheesy.

Cuppachuchu · 28/02/2025 18:08

Yeah, sorry. I should have said "modern wisdom". 🤷

TinklySnail · 28/02/2025 18:06

@Rainbows678
Who cares what other people think.
People who judge you don’t belong in your life.
Don’t ever let anonymous MN users tell you how to live or what’s inappropriate or not.

Stirabout · 28/02/2025 18:06

Cuppachuchu · 28/02/2025 18:04

Put some nice pictures on your walls instead. These modern wisdom saying date very quickly. Also, tacky.

Mmm
are they modern wisdom ?
I’m thinking maybe…just words
