I don't get it.

Everyone has different tastes. Some would love my house, some would loathe it.

I would be quite upset to know that a large group of women in an internet forum were openly slagging off my house and getting vast enjoyment from it.

Aibu and have no sense of humour?

I think you were right in your original post OP - you have no sense of humour.

It's not a small stuffed bear like a toy - it is a sizeable real stuffed bear looking out of a window FFS!!!

This is the same house that has large silver letters in the bedroom spelling
"Love" "Kiss" and "sex"..............

The decor reveals a person with loads of money but sadly really naff taste (Looks like Russian ogliarch or WAG house to me).

I'm sure the owner couldn't give a monkeys what anyone else thinks (as demonstrated by the godawful decor) Grin

I like the bear, and the pony skin sofas. The rest is a bit something for my taste.

ShellyBoobs · 14/09/2013 16:06

Sex Bear house is hilarious!

Surely the vendors must know it's fucking hideous not to everyone's taste?

As said above, if you've got SEX, WANK, ANAL (or whatever it said) on your bedroom wall, you're asking for some piss-taking.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 14/09/2013 16:11

you really need to lighten up op.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 14/09/2013 16:11

oh and our bedroom would have
sleep snore fart
on the wall.

TheFallenNinja · 14/09/2013 16:12

I love taking the piss out of houses on websites.

FFS!!!!!!!!!!!! ARggggggggh!!!! Oh no wait I take that back because I don't have the energy to get the wound up. Nevermind.

When you consider most bears are 6-8ft stood up it looks a lot smaller to me than that.

Never described it as a toy once.

You mean it's not a real bear? Fuuuck.

TediousFool · 14/09/2013 16:15

Who remembers the poster who posted a link to rightmove and the supposed owner came on all disgruntled?

Django calm down. You will do yourself a mischief.

Justshabbynochic · 14/09/2013 16:16

OP was your house slagged off via t'internet in the past? Brew

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 14/09/2013 16:16

I remember that Tedious :)

My brown leather sofas are mocked all the time on MN.

Meh.

ThePuffyShirt · 14/09/2013 16:19

My job involves looking at houses everyday. In my head, I take the piss constantly. I have been known to sneak the odd photo on my phone.

Lyrics of your wedding dance song painted over your bed? I reserve the right to snurk.

DjangoTheDisSilent · 14/09/2013 16:20

OP was your house slagged off via t'internet in the past?

No as I've never sold a house. Went straight from living with parents, renting at uni and then buying first property.

I remember that one! If it was the owner, she saved thousands as there was no need for a 'House Doctor' type to tell her where they'd gone wrong

When we were house hunting, we judged, the piles of empty tequila bottles spread liberally through the shots show a lot about a seller!

DjangoTheDisSilent · 14/09/2013 16:22

I think it's BMW6 who needs to calm down to be fair. Getting that frustrated because I described a bear as small is rather odd.

gordyslovesheep · 14/09/2013 16:22

some houses are funny though - and even if you don't get that I wouldn't get so worked up about it

ChristineDaae · 14/09/2013 16:22

Sex bear house is actually pretty amazing! If you remove ALL furniture, rip out the 'feature' things on the wall. The actual building is gorgeous! And imagine the Bouncy castles in that garden!
I would buy it...(only if they leave It totally empty apart from Sex bear)

Mrs Dv! You have a pink range cooker?!? I am very veryEnvy

Yes but as potential buyers of course you are going to judge. Buying a house is a big decision.

It's different in my eyes to judge houses that you are seriously consider buying. Than posts links to one to mock and that you had zero intention of ever buying.
