To want to remove phallic graffiti from a nearby lampost with nail polish remover?

[cupcakebakerer]

My husband thinks I've flipped my lid - and I may well have done - but I think it's a bad reflection on our street to have a big penis drawn with black marker on one of our lampposts. Have I officially turned into Hyacinth Bucket?

No, YUNBU!

No, remove it on aesthetic grounds. It sounds ugly.

If I get spotted I will die of shame...do you reckon the council would come out to do it?!

Add pubic hair and the number of the local GUM clinic.

It already has pubic hair...It haunts my dreams.

YANBU - we had a house in our street with a mattress in the front garden for ages. It drove me crazy I kept leaving notes on it asking them to move it. My DH thought I was mad. Was actually to scared to knock and ask them to move it - wimp. Would def be at that lampost - you could always ring the council.

Call up the council and report the graffiti - they should come out to clean it.

You might need the lamppost number to identify it.

it would take a lot of nail varish remover. Can you just spray paint over it?

I misread that as 'phallic giraffe' and wasn't sure what on earth that would look like or why it was on a lamppost lol time for bed soon I think!

I draw penises on most things.

hehe

Good for you! - report it, definitely, but if your local Council don't sort it out very soon, yes, by all means get out there and clean it off / cover it up yourself. It's the kind of thing that 'spreads bad vibes' and really brings a neighbourhood down.

Oh no...I hate the penis pictures that kids seem obsessed with drawing!

I mean come on! How Neanderthal is that!?

"Ug...will draw picture of big man penis"

Is it always boys who do it? Or do you think girls do too? You don't se many pictures of fanjos adorning walls and lamposts do you?

Another immature one here, I drew one in the snow on my neighbours car

Why Kelly? Why not do a fanjo next time!?

Stand up for the sisterhood!

When I see penises drawn in public places, I like to imagine that I'm in Ancient Rome, possibly in Pompeii in the days just before the volcano, and that these are protective symbols scribbled hopefully around the city to protect us from Impending Doom. It livens it up a bit, I find.

I was quite impressed to see a graffito of five conjoined penises in a fan shape drawn on my bus window the other day. The psychology behind it was quite fascinating.

"five conjoined penises in a fan shape"

Are you sure it wasn't a picture of a hand?

Ha ha GrendelsMum you've tickled me with your coping mechanism.

My husband reckons it's a rite of passage for all pre-teen boys to be able to draw 'the penis cartoon'. Ugh.

Shanahan Fanjos are more difficult to draw, so would take longer, and well, I dont want to be seen doing it do I? Incase the neighbours think Im odd

Be careful. Vigorously scrubbing at it could be misconstrued...

But penises have endless creative possibilities compared with the fanjo. I mean, there's so much more character you can add to a penis.

Does it have lots of pubes? Is it wrinkly? What about a huge wart on the side and will that wart have a few hairs also?

Fanjo is just a simple triangle of hair... Nothing more, nothing less. Boring!!

Mattress in the front garden urgh... It's like people who chuck their old sofas in the garden, I mean why would you do that?? It doesn't look pretty, it's all wet and smelly and it spoils the view from my back window!

But to answer your AIBU - no, you're not. But I'd take the cowards way out and ring the council!
