To think that this is disgusting and offensive?

I like little signs and words around the home. I have quite a few, made from nicely decorated wooden letters ('soak' in the living room, 'relax' in the guest bedroom, kids names on their windowsills etc).

I went to a friends house today. She has a new sign too.
It's wooden letters above her loo spelling out a vulgar term for urine. She thought it was hilarious. I not so.

Am I boring or is it offensive? What would you think?

If you don't like profanities, I do wonder how you cope with this website Grin

MammaTJ · 21/08/2015 12:10

I think it's awful, I sell the decorated letters on Facebook and I had never thought that someone would use them in this way. She didn't buy them from me though so I can't really say anything.

I think even if she had paid you money she had earned, you would be out of order saying anything.

YellowBucket · 21/08/2015 12:12

I have a beautifully decorated set saying Arse. The contrast makes me smile.

Thankfully I made them myself and didn't offend anyone by ordering (or having to pretend that I wanted A for Anna, R for Rowan... Grin)
They aren't on show as such but I would move them if any young children were to visit.

I have had several requests for similar sets from people that clearly nose about the house on the way to the loo!

Worktolive that map is BRILLIANT. Where can I get one?

OP I don't think you are lacking in a sense of humour. Au contraire I think you having a lot of fun with us and it's working. As others have said, this thread is a real cheerer-upper.

I think you should have GENIUS posted above your internet device!

Bellebella · 21/08/2015 12:14

I think it is funny, it's taking the mick out of all those signs and it is her own house.

Seriously though what does it matter what people do with the letter you sell, you still get the money Confused

My friend has a large gold CUNT. It's ace.

Katie2001 · 21/08/2015 12:16

Might already have been mentioned, but there is a company called Inappropriate Bunting which will make bunting in any words you like.

Sorry OP, this is not helpful.

Backforthis · 21/08/2015 12:16

Grin That must be uncomfortable.

That must be the funniest thing I've ever read on here Grin

AllThatGlistensIs · 21/08/2015 12:17

Are you serious?

Once you sell your letters, you do realise that you no longer have any rights or control over them, don't you? Kinda the whole point of the sale...

Do you have an approved list of words your letters can be used to spell out? Grin

LynetteScavo · 21/08/2015 12:18

I don't have any words in my house.

Should I?

I know one very posh mum who called out to her young son to "mind the dog peepee" then turned to me and said "He won't know what I mean, I usually say piss" Grin

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 21/08/2015 12:18

Me too, thisname! Grin

My friend has a large gold CUNT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa

JeffreysMummyisCross · 21/08/2015 12:19

CheeseToastie - I have seen posters on the relationship board ask the OP if their abusive partner has a solid gold cock, but I must admit that a gold cunt is a new one to me.

TheFullMinty · 21/08/2015 12:19

Wow. If something this trivial provokes such a response from you you must be really wound up all the time. Careful you don't give yourself an ulcer.

Hedgesinthewind · 21/08/2015 12:19

And yes I do think that if people buy letters that I've taken lots of time and trouble to decorate nicely, then it is an insult to spell out profanities

Is it hallmarked? Must be very uncomfortable

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 21/08/2015 12:20

So, op are you going to tell us who you are? In the olden days it would be rhubarb or greensleeves.

elfycat · 21/08/2015 12:21

Anyone else waiting for a linky to the OP's site to show us where we can improve her profit margin how lovely her idea with the tweeness is?

Which reminds me I need to put up the shelves so I can put DDs names spelled in Beatrix Potter letters away safely. Now I'm wondering what I can actually spell with them.

reredos1 · 21/08/2015 12:21

Are you worried that your friend is pointing and laughing?

I don't like swear words being plastered anywhere, but to be honest I don't like any words plastered anywhere. I am not a potential customer.

PrincessFiorimonde · 21/08/2015 12:23

OP, have you thought of namechanging to WoeIsPee?

StickyLetters · 21/08/2015 12:23

We too had some choice words on our walls while they were waiting to be painted. I assumed most people using our loo would have been aware of our sense of humour (or lack of it, depending on your view!). It's all subjective, after all...

NoSOHisadealbreaker · 21/08/2015 12:24

Sorry worktolive ....just clocked that your link IS where I can buy it! Blush
