To think that this is disgusting and offensive?

[WoeIsMee]

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?

I agree with the suggestion to rearrange into SIPS.

My friend likes to rearrange the 4 cushions on her dds bed to read VOLE instead of LOVE

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

Bwahaaahaahaha!!!

Does she have difficulty getting trousers to fit?

A customer using letters you've sold them in order to spell out swear words isn't them insulting you. They're simply mocking a type of decoration that's too twee to be civilised. I don't think those letters have a place outside of children's bedrooms, but if I were to allow them in other rooms, I'd definitely put ARSE behind the couch, FUCK above the bed and SHIT in the bathroom.

Twirls

I couldn't let this name pass me by

I have a sign in my bedroom 'Nerd Fuck Harder'

I love it and stitched it myself. Its just like this only in a different colour.

If anyone's interested there's a whole host of subversive cross stitch. Currently working on a 'go fuck yourself' for a friend

We have "the poo room" sign in our downstairs loo. It's her home tbh! I don't think a bodily function is disgusting or offensive tbh

Does she have difficulty getting trousers to fit?

Maybe she should have bought "camel toe" instead.

Oh, won't somebody think of the poor beautifully decorated letters

OP I'm sorry that you're not seeing the humour here but don't take it personally. After all the seriousness over the last few days, this thread is a breath of fresh air

Personally I find those directions on how to behave a little bossy so they have the opposite affect on me to what is itended. I probably need one in every room that says 'now think hard, what did you come in here for'

When I was about 8 and my brother was about 5, I taught him to write SEX in the condensation on the patio doors in the kitchen.

Mum told him off, he tried to blame me and she knew it was him because the S was backwards.

I never owned up.

I think I remembered that wrong actually. Thinking back... I got the bollocking, and tried to pin it on him because the S was backwards

Love the new name largegoldcunt now we just need to get this into classics and get a little smiley icon made up for it

Can anyone recommend a good site for sweary crossstitch patterns?

I knew this thread would go this way as soon as I saw the OP. Reminds me of the one that started 'AIBU to think that all the foul language on here is rather unnecessary?'

Cue several hundred posts of fuck, cunt, wanker, arse etc .

Any time I get a bit bored or stressed at work I stand up and peruse my map for a few minutes, seeking out amusing place names.

Just now I've spotted

The Glory Hole
Muff (and yes, they do have a diving club)
Mucking Flats (careful how you say that now) and
Twathats

Not sure I could live on anywhere named on the map - I couldn't give anyone my address and keep a straight face. I wonder if houseprices in Twathats are higher or lower due to the name?

I wrote "Alice was here" followed by a long line in marker down the white bannister in our home when I was a child. Horrified my mother so much that she fell down the stairs. Upon reflection, I may have been better off putting my sister's name to that instead. However, having letters to rearrange in various rooms would have been pretty entertaining (and driven my mother insane!)

my living room would suit the word 'soak' at the moment as my bathroom pipe burst and casued the living room ceiling to collapse

This thread is fucking hilarious. I especially love the suggestion that people can't do what the hell they like with letters they buy from you! Are you going to add a disclaimer onto your website saying 'purchased items cannot be used to spell profanities'? Utterly bonkers. The whole decorated letters this is totally twee and naff anyway so I think your friend is being quite funny.

Dragons: the Subversive CrossStitch lady has a book. Amazon link [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Subversive-Cross-Stitch-Julie-Jackson/dp/0811853470 here]]

Argh, link fail, sorry!

I totes think you should bring it up in convo with your chum

pigeon love those!

I want to do the 'Boo fucking Hoo' one

I think it is fucking hilarious to take the piss out of this tiresome trend so very literally. But then I come from a family who are congenitally unable to avoid defacing any sort of twee lettering.

No, that's just funny! And it's her house, she doesn't have to worry about offending anyone

Would it have been OK if she'd had WEE-WEE instead?

I wonder if it would cost too much to get "put out the fire or ring 999" in the kitchen.... Hmm... maybe just a stencil then....

I do have laminated signs in the toilets in our house with reminders of the steps needed for using the toilet, with "flush" "wash hands with soap" and dry hands" very clearly. It's for the benefit of my 2 dcs with SNs, although I've gotten a few comments from visitors.

You say that you can't be the only one to be offended bu this but there are now six pages of people telling you you're the only one.

Would you rather it said "tinkle"? Or "widdle"?
