Wickedwaterwitch where did you get your 'wee' sign?.

Loving your name by the way, we had the whole Letterland collection when the kids were little, Quarrlesome queen was a right bitch Grin and Robber Red was a right wrong 'un Grin

How about Shit, Shower, Shave for the bathroom?

TheVermiciousKnid · 17/03/2013 12:43

I might put Do some bloody work and get off Mumsnet on my laptop.

bootsycollins · 17/03/2013 13:00

'Abandon hope all ye who enter here' would look lovely in cross stitch in my hallway Grin

BreconBeBuggered · 17/03/2013 13:30

I tried putting that our shared bedroom door when my sister and I were teenagers, bootsy . My sister took it down. She now has Live Laugh Love on her sitting room wall.
People like her more than they do me, though. There's not enough appreciation for the effortlessly crotchety people out there.

TSSDNCOP · 17/03/2013 13:31

WIPE would be good in the bathroom Grin

JenaiMorris · 17/03/2013 13:36

This tickles me.

TroublesomeEx · 17/03/2013 13:38

My mother is one of those women OP.

She also has one of those godawful:

Dance like no one's watching; sing like no one's listening; love like signs OUTSIDE her house.

She rather likes the idea that it makes her look carefree and as though she enjoys life when in fact she's the most bitter, spiteful and meanspirited woman I've ever had the misfortune to meet!

MrsSchadenfreude · 17/03/2013 13:49

You could have "Fart, Piss, Shit" in the loo, no? "Shit, Shave, Shower" in the bathroom. "Sleep, Shag, Read" in the bedroom... (you could vary the order of the latter, of course).

Tout passe
Tout lasse
Tout casse

Everything passes
Everything wears out
Everything breaks

Says it all really Grin

BrokenBritain · 17/03/2013 14:20

Oh no...we have a laugh love live ( or words to that effect) sign!
I hate it but my partner came home with it one day, all pleased with himself because he thought he'd found something really unique and profound :)
I tried to explain that it was tacky and awful but he didn't believe me. So now it lives on the wall in the hallway, and every time I see it I'm torn between thinking "god that's so embarrassing" and " aw but it is quite sweet that he likes that guff"
Always have to explain to visitors though that it's nothing to do with me!

bootsycollins · 17/03/2013 14:26

The word underpants really makes me laugh for some strange reason, I'd love a shabby chic rose budded 'underpants' for the wall.

I've got sooooooo many innapropriate ideas for signs, the I hate signs sign is genius Grin

bootsycollins · 17/03/2013 14:26

Laugh and the world laughs with you
Cry and your fucked

baskingseals · 17/03/2013 14:51

there used to be a song on cbeebies - playing, laughing, learning, running, falling, sharing........these are our favourites things, set to a montage of apple-cheeked children gambling through sunlit meadows or something cheesy

my friend and i used to sing

scratching, scrapping, pushing, moaning, nipping, screaming, - she'd sing one and i'd sing another,
used to piss ourselves.

TheVermiciousKnid · 17/03/2013 14:56

How about:

Shit, Wipe, Flush for the loo?

JenaiMorris · 17/03/2013 14:59

I'm going to get bicker for above the dining table.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 17/03/2013 15:02

I used to quite like one that said 'don't look for the light at the end of the tunnel... stomp on down there and turn the fucker on yourself'

moondog · 17/03/2013 15:15

Guffaw at'Bicker'

Or how about 'Snipe pettily' to dangle jauntily from rear view car mirror just to keep you and your spouse in the groove?

Badvoc · 17/03/2013 16:34

It actually makes me cringe when I see these signs.
Have been through a tough time recently and a friend has taken to sending me those really vom worthy texts...you know the sort...
"I am sending this to an amazing woman...who doesn't think she is but she doesn't see what I see...."
What utter utter bollocks.
I always send back a smiley because a) she is a sweet, but misguided person and b) I haven't figured out how to do a puking smiley yet.

mrsjay · 17/03/2013 16:36

I have just seen a thing on facebook an auntie will love you like a mother an auntie will hug you .... I couldnt read anymore the bile started to rise, who writes that guff JUST WHO

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 17/03/2013 16:51

Dance like nobody's watching ... as long as you don't mind ending up on YouTube.

The only inspirational quote i've ever had up is Hunter S. Thompson's 'Hate the police and always drive the fastest car on the road.'

Thisisaeuphemism · 17/03/2013 16:52

You dont find, 'I hate signs' inspirational?

Idocrazythings · 17/03/2013 19:40

"Fart like no one is watching"? Good for those with irritable bowel. You could put it up in the bathroom as a cross stitch. Winner.
