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

How about a glow in the dark one lol

NakedPanpipeLady · 19/08/2013 21:29

Thanks TheFantasticFixit, that's very kind of you (gracefully accepts wine and flowers, LOL). I'll admit I felt a bit upset by what Sanctimummy wrote (by the way, please fuck off Sanctimummy). But I've lurked for some time now and realise that you are right - most posters are not like that. It does make you wonder though how little interesting things are going on in that posters life if they feel the need to make comments like that to make themselves feel better.

DrDance - that's fair enough, each to their own. Admittedly the fish toilet seat was a wedding present (we'd originally asked for a penguin one but the shop was out of stock hence we received the fish one). I agree with you about the barbed wire ones - I can see the humour but wouldn't want one myself.

TheHandbagOfGlory - fantastic link, thanks! Tragically I do like no. 9 (the dragon one). I would love to have a John Howe art one like that. (However I do like dragons which helps).

YANBU. Freaky!

The glow in the dark one looks good though.

sparklingstars · 19/08/2013 21:31

Oh my, some truly dire offerings there.

Mind you, I'd prefer to this offering!

KittieCat · 19/08/2013 21:31

Now, I am almost never scared or freaked out by things but that really is something else! I'd have bowel and bladder trouble in no time due to fear of going anywhere near that.

FFS, it's terrifying!!!

MyBoysAreFab · 19/08/2013 21:31

OMG Handbag I have a friend who would love that, I am going to order it for his Christmas!

McNewPants2013 · 19/08/2013 21:32

I bet even with a glow in the dark DS would still miss.

gillywillywoo · 19/08/2013 21:32

That is so ugly. Are tesco REALLY selling it?!

Weird!

TheHandbagOfGlory · 19/08/2013 21:35

MyBoys do you mean the light switch cover? I love the Golden Girls but I doubt DH would be pleased if I put them on our light switches Grin bit jealous of your friend!

gillywillywoo · 19/08/2013 21:35

Sanctimummy - what are lovely person you're being today! Or are you this grim every day?!

OP don't worry about her... We aren't all horrid... But that toilet seat is! Grin

Tabby1963 · 19/08/2013 21:35

This thread is amazing NakedPanPipeLady. My boring white loo seat has got to be replaced by the white guitar. The Egyptian one would give me nightmares, shudder.

HandOfGlory, how on earth do you find such weird loo seats ;) ? They are really tastless and would harbour germs galore lol.

ClartyCarol · 19/08/2013 21:36

The one you linked to in your OP is really creepy.

However, I bloody love the leopard print one... wonder if I could fit it without DH noticing... Grin.

ariadneoliver · 19/08/2013 21:36

I think I have a new leader in the creepy stakes

McNewPants2013 · 19/08/2013 21:36

SparklingStars I may just have to order that one, DS loves sharks and may close the lid

gillywillywoo · 19/08/2013 21:38

I used to have one of those clear toilet seats with barbed wire inside... Living on the edge!!!!! Grin

That's when I first moved out into my own little heavy metal flat in caaaaamden taaaaaan.

I have a very boring white toilet seat now Hmm

I want my barbed wire one back!! Don't think DH would approve though!

NakedPanpipeLady · 19/08/2013 21:39

Oh dear, x-posted lots.

DrDance - that comment made me proper LOL, thanks for the chuckles. Smile

ThisIsYesterday - naked archery eh? Well it takes all sorts they say! Grin I do like the tassels (no idea what that says about me).....

TheHandbagOfGlory - that GG lightswitch plate is awesome! (Wonders if they make a Warcraft or Top Gear one)........

Haggisfish - didn't even think of that! Would be too scared to go into the bathroom at night (imagines going in with hand over eyes and other hand feeling out in front of her).

MortifiedAdams - now that is a seat I want (it's bloody cool). Not sure DH would though (boo, hiss). (Although he might if it had Hedwig on it).

McNewPants2013 - woah, bright ha ha. DH has just said "we've got to get that one"! Certainly shouldn't miss the toilet with that seat.......

NakedPanpipeLady · 19/08/2013 21:55

Holy Crap ariadneoliver! That definately beats mine hands down (it reminds me of 'It' - the film). Not sure I can go to bed now......

gillywillywoo - I know, you wouldn't think they were actually selling it would you. But amazingly they are. And funnily enough no-one has written a review of it on the Tesco site. Wonder why...... Smile

Oh yuck, imagine getting up in the night for a wee and having to look at that!Shock

BlehPukeVomit · 19/08/2013 22:00

I love this thread!

I thought the creepy eye loo seat was hideous but having since seen the even creepier clown seat I don't find it quite as bad. Shock

I am going to buy the glowing the dark loo seat.

Here is my suggestion for most CREEPY toilet seat Grin

dementedma · 19/08/2013 22:02

I would just like one that fits on the loo properly. I'm sure dh has done it wrong but he says the seat is the wrong size....hmmmm.

Ezio · 19/08/2013 22:04

Omg!!!!!!

I think i actually need that Ministry of Magic toilet seat.

Arghhh
