Normally by rather flakey types.

I have never heard people say it but if I did, I would deeply resent them

Feminine · 17/03/2013 09:45

In sign form?

Over the mantle?

Feminine · 17/03/2013 09:46

Or a decal perhaps?

NinaNannar · 17/03/2013 09:46

Love even. Bloody Phone

I've never heard anybody say it, but I don't see anything wrong with it as a philosophy. But then I am a middle aged woman.

Would you feel better about it if it was a young person using it?

Feminine · 17/03/2013 09:48

I've only seen it things ...I have never heard anyone say it.

Even ...a middle aged woman!

nina I'm hoping you are middle aged?

nkf · 17/03/2013 09:49

As a greeting? As a sign off? A new one for me too.

As a status. Sign. Art. Cards. Fucking everywhere.

It is a bit puke inducing. I would feel that way regardless of the age bracket and gender of the person using it.

ZacharyQuack · 17/03/2013 09:50

I prefer "Sleep. Bitch. Moan"

Bunbaker · 17/03/2013 09:51

I must walk around wearing blinkers. I don't see this sign everywhere.

mrsminiverscharlady · 17/03/2013 09:52

It's on a par with 'Live the life you love'

NinaNannar · 17/03/2013 09:54

Of we are going for alliterative three word combos we could have

I hate commands, it should at least say, please.

drownangels · 17/03/2013 09:58

Never noticed it anywhere tbh.

bootsycollins · 17/03/2013 10:05

Urgh makes me all stabby! There's a shabby chic shop near me that's full of nice Cath Kidston and East of India stuff that's really nice but went past the other day and there's loads of "I'd rather be with Christian Grey" etc signs grrrrrr. Can't bear the keep calm and have a cupcake shite either. Those wall decals with "profound" statements are really tacky, loathe all the "shhhh little princess sleeping" signs etc too.

moondog · 17/03/2013 10:07

On a par with all those other buttock clenching epithets
'Love as if you've never lost'

Strange hybrid of People's Friend/Pedlars sesnisibilities

FunnyLittleFrog · 17/03/2013 10:07

Oh, the one I hate is the 'Dance like there's nobody watching' one.

Dance like you've shit your pants and nobody's noticed Grin

bootsycollins · 17/03/2013 10:11

Keep calm and have a Lambert and Butler

Wickedwaterwitch · 17/03/2013 10:11

Totally agree, especially about the dance like no one is watching one, bleurgh

I also dislike "EAT" signs in kitchens

moondog · 17/03/2013 10:11

Dance like nobody is watching is the sort of thing said by women who have three glass of pinot grigio instead of the usual two and do air drums to Phil Collins

moondog · 17/03/2013 10:12

Hey Wicked!!! Grin
