"Oh my goodness .... you still have the same bathroom, that's hilarious"

[BigSandyBalls2015]

AIBU and overly sensitive or is that fecking rude?

For context - this is someone I met at baby groups years ago (our kids are now mid/late teens), lost touch when they started different schools and occasionally bumped into one another out shopping etc. I recently saw her and invited her back for coffee and a catch up at mine, which took place yesterday.

The first thing she said was "oh my goodness ... you still have the same bathroom, that's hilarious" (bathroom by front door). I had forgotten she was such a rude cow .... things have started coming back to me since our coffee ..... I remember sitting in our garden with several baby group mums, kids in paddling pool, all lovely and she came out with the cracker "I so wish I had a tiny garden and house like this, so much easier to maintain".

I remember now why we lost touch.

I actually love coloured bathroom suites

I used to find people like that rude and get upset by their sly little digs.

Now I just feel deeply sorry for them. Their lives are so deeply miserable that they no longer have the skills within them to be polite and nice.

We bought a doer upper( original 1950’s kitchen). But putting new kitchen in dining room and utility in old kitchen. Husbands friends wife came to see and spent 2 mins in old kitchen, as quote” This is so offensive, I have to leave”😳. Bearing in mind they were only just putting in a new kitchen in a house they’d lived in for 16 years! This was the same person, who having a newborn, only had 4 babygrows, and asked me if they felt dry enough to wear( they had been drying on an airer). I asked if she had any more drier, to be told they were Burberry!!

I like the pink and the blue^, the mint isn't too bad either. People buy coloured fridge freezers so I don't think it's that odd.

Friend’s husband did this (while using my place as a hotel). Commented on how my living room hadn’t changed in 10 years. Why would it? It’s fine. Should have told him to book into a hotel...

Espresso I have ju st spent the last hour googling coloured bathroom suites. If I ever in my dreams bu y a house it will have a navy suite with a corner bath.

That's very rude and you should probably distance her! However, should you have the misfortune to bump into her and she comes out work similar, pop right back with some about the dangers of over-consumerization on the planet.

If you fancy a giggle, Google the Mitchell and Webb Avocado bathroom sketch!

If I ever in my dreams bu y a house it will have a navy suite

Don't do it! Every molecule of limescale shows up like tippex. Same applies to burgundy. Go for a pastel.

Lock her in there next time nasty bitch & shout “This is hilarious” 🤣

There are Facebook groups with 100s of people yearning for 'mid-century' furniture including bathrooms. You are soooo on trend OP!

Cheeky fuck. You’re right op there’s a reason why we loose touch with people

Ha! Your “friend” would love my bathroom. 22 years old and well and truly knackered . I don’t have the money to do anything about it at the moment though.

Very rude. I would not have bothered answering her, who cares what your bloody bathroom looks like!

This has just reminded me. My parents' next door neighbours have just redone their kitchen for the fourth time. The house is thirteen years old. I caught sight of the units going in - they look even crappier than the third set. They've replaced their carpets and bathrooms numerous times too. For everything they've replaced over the years, they honestly could have bought another bloody house in this area. More money than sense. I don't understand it, personally. It's so incredibly wasteful.

for you, OP. Ignore the nasty witch and just don't see her again.

'Oh my goodness you still have the same tactless attitude, that is so not hilarious' mimicking her voice.

I think she would have a fit if she came here, we have the same bathroom as when house was built in 1887, it is white, clean and good quality

Although I have a new white bathroom now, I shed a few tears when my old avocado bathroom suite was consigned to the rubbish dump.

“You’re still emotionally abusive. That’s sad. Now get out of my house.”

I would love an avocado or lemon bathroom suite. Ours is white cast iron and cannot justify the expense or mess to replace it.

Would love to see the 1887 bathroom @TeacupDrama. My house was built at a similar time

My answer to people like this is, "Why would I want to be a sheep?"

She must be one of those sad people whose self esteem depends on having the right/latest bathroom/kitchen/car, etc. They're worried that people will think they can't afford it otherwise. We have a neighbour like this - it's pathetic really - we should pity them but it's impossible if they make stupid or disparaging remarks.

Our bathrooms are both over 30 years old - in very pale peach - with showers over the baths, and shower curtains. Who cares - the showers are v good and there's loads of built in cupboard and surface space to put your toiletries on. We and our many house guests are perfectly happy with them and we have far better uses for the £££££££ it would cost to rip out and replace.

I don't understand why people replace perfectly good bathrooms and kitchens. We have just had our kitchen done as it fell apart. It cost £12,000. Who has that kind of money to spend every few years?
