AIBU to be creeped out by this toilet seat?

Hi everyone, this is my first AIBU so please go gently on me! Smile

Recently our toilet seat has broken and needs to be replaced. I've been looking online for toilet seats (would prefer a patterned one - our current one has picture of fish on it).

Anyway I thought I'd have a quick squiz at the toilet seat selection on Tesco and have found this:
www.tesco.com/direct/bemis-4130-egypt-moulded-plastic-novelty-toilet-seat-and-cover-with-adjustable-chrome-plated-hinges/296-1501.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=296-1501

OMG, I've still got that page up and am convinced it won't stop staring at me (with it's black souless eyes)!

Does anyone else think it looks creepy (or is just me - probably is, LOL).

Disclaimer - doesn't help in the creepiness factor that I've been slowly reading through an old creepy things that happened to you' type thread on MN. Grin

Errrrrrrrr who would buy that!!!
Yanbu!

DrDance · 19/08/2013 21:08

who would want that!

I'm a bit anal about toilet seats, I would not like your fish one.

And the barbed wire one's are worse.

Just get a nice normal plain toilet seat.....it's not a fashion accessory

Sanctimummy · 19/08/2013 21:08

For a first AIBU, that's pretty poor...

Is there nothing more interesting going on in your life at all?

Sorry that's not gentle.

Oh and YABU. It's a toilet seat. Who would buy it anyway? It's ugly.

WildThongsHeartString · 19/08/2013 21:09

YADNBA! That is monstrous, can't imagine who would put that in their home Shock

NakedPanpipeLady · 19/08/2013 21:10

Ha ha, glad it's not just me. It got even worse when I discovered the 'zoom photo' on that page! Asked DH what he thought - another 'yep, it's creepy looking' from him. Well, at least I've narrowed our toilet seat selection down by 1. Smile

Argh! That's horrid!

Sanctimummy - stop being a sanctimonious div. thanks.

Sanctimummy · 19/08/2013 21:12

Does what it says on the tin.

How about one of these

TheHandbagOfGlory · 19/08/2013 21:13

What about this

NakedPanpipeLady · 19/08/2013 21:14

Thanks TheFantasticFixit for your kind comment. TBH Sanctimummy, no not really as due to health problems I'm in the house and don't have friends due to severe anxiety. But why do you need to be that nasty? I'm a new poster so still feeling my way round here but people like you put me off posting and now I'll probably go back to lurking.

Sanctimummy - are you deliberately trolling, or just a pretty odious person normally?

Hawkmoth · 19/08/2013 21:17

The tabbed one would save at least six arguments a week in this house.

NakedPanpipeLady · 19/08/2013 21:17

Oh dear God no, get it away TheHandbagOfGlory! Grin Looks like something my DH's Nan would have.

McNewPants - cool selection. Particularly like the black/dark brown guitar. I love music (old rock mainly) so that's right up my street!

the gnome one is, quite frankly, awesome!

TheHandbagOfGlory · 19/08/2013 21:19

Grin I found it here

miffybun73 · 19/08/2013 21:19

YANBU, I'd be too scared to use the loo after dark, v creepy.

TheFantasticFixit · 19/08/2013 21:20

NakedPanpipelady - sadly, some people come onto forums to be nasty in order to make themselves feel better. It's somewhat ironic that this poster has questioned you on how interesting you life is when clearly there is so little filling theirs that they feel the want to post nasties on an innocuous thread. Fortunately posters like that are few and far between.

Welcome to Mumsnet! ThanksWine

pictish · 19/08/2013 21:21

Omg @ the gnome seat there! £50 and on Etsy!! Shock
It's crap!!

DrDance · 19/08/2013 21:21

Maybe it's a potrait of Sanctimummy and that's why she's being snipy NakedPanpipeLady Grin

thisisyesterday · 19/08/2013 21:21

TheHandbagOfGlory · 19/08/2013 21:25

Oh my that toilet seat has tassels and a naked lady Grin

I'm ordering this I never realised my light switches were so boring

Haggisfish · 19/08/2013 21:26

YANBU - aaargh! As OH said, you'd shit your pants before you got to the toilet!

MortifiedAdams · 19/08/2013 21:27

this one is on my shopping list!

Growlithe · 19/08/2013 21:27

Oh, this thread is totally fitting in with my evening. Watching Coraline for the first time ever. Totally creeped out now. Shock
