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?

Or "I look down my nose at you, bitch about you behind your back and then pretend to be your friend to your face"?

Why would you want to 'Soak' in a toilet? Confused

WoeIsMee · 21/08/2015 15:35

And if anybody else has any NICE suggestions I would be happy to consider them :)

yabu i would quite like a "shit or shat" sigb in my bathroomGrin

WoeIsMee · 21/08/2015 15:38

People generally soak in the bath, largegold.

Although with a username like that I suppose anything is possible.

I read a thread the other day about someone who wont wipe their own bum with their own towel after they have washed said bum in the shower

Whose towel do they use then? Confused

Witchend · 21/08/2015 15:38

I love Aibus that the OP is hopelessly voted ur and they come on to thank all who agreed with them.
I obviously didn't read the thread carefully enough because I missed that post that agreed.

LargeGoldCunt · 21/08/2015 15:39

I am quite happy with my username thank you, after all if it wasn't for you, your friend and her piss sign then I wouldn't have it so thanks :)

wafflyversatile · 21/08/2015 15:40

Why would someone want to be soaked in piss?

Confused
cruikshank · 21/08/2015 15:40

This truly is the thread that keeps on giving. Here are some suggestions, OP:

tinkle
widdle
peepee
number one
willy wetter
flange water
wizz
drain the one-eyed trouser snake
water the porcelain
water sports (nb this one could lead to unintended consequences)

Faire they dry it with loo roll apparently!

AliceDoesntLiveHereAnymore · 21/08/2015 15:42

I've decided I'm going to give her a gift of some of my découpage letters with a slightly more appropriate word. I don't want to upset or embarrass her by pointing out how it looks, but this way she has the choice, and hopefully she'll make the right one!

JeffreysMummyisCross · 21/08/2015 15:42

This surely is a wind-up?

Actually, fuck it, I don't care. Either way, it's hilarious.

What more appropriate word are you planning to give her, OP?

Bogeyface · 21/08/2015 15:43

You could gift

You boil my

LovelyFriend · 21/08/2015 15:44

I'm still trying to puzzle out where all the posters agreeing with the OP are .....

it is madness, madness ...

JeffreysMummyisCross · 21/08/2015 15:45

Oops, sorry, saw that you're planning on "Soak". The trouble with putting that above the loo is that the male members of the household may take that as an invitation to spray all round the seat and mat.

Unless she's a Mumsnetter, of course, in which case she'd probably not have a mat.

cruikshank · 21/08/2015 15:45

By the way, OP, I'm with you all the way. If you want to soak in your living room, or soak in piss, you crack on and if you want a sign declaring your hobby then go for it.

WienerDiva · 21/08/2015 15:47

This is bloody great!! I haven't laughed at a thread this good in ages Grin

WoeIsMee - be prepared for a returned gift of decoupage letters spelling out what your friend thinks of you after she receives your "TINKLE".

Btw op, you'd hate my loo, it's got a photos of men's bums (they're all family too). How uncouth!

LovelyFriend · 21/08/2015 15:48

I've decided I'm going to give her a gift of some of my découpage letters with a slightly more appropriate word.

How sweet, how kind, not at all manipulative, passive aggressive, snide or cunty - not at all.

many I suggest you send her F.L.A.P.S.

Bogeyface · 21/08/2015 15:48

I rather suspect that your SOAK would be found in the lounge or kitchen rearranged as KAOS, especially if she read Terry Pratchett. I do hope she does!

bettyberry · 21/08/2015 15:49

OP the nice suggestion from me it to put your opinion about the word piss and the 'offending' sign in a teeny box, seal it up tight and put it in your attic and never speak about it again. Like they did in that Simpsons episode with Barts deformed twin brother.

Bogeyface · 21/08/2015 15:49

That gave me a genuine LOL moment!
