Those who don't decorate but wear designer

[OceanStorm]

AIBU to think those who choose to not properly decorate their homes but wear designer clothes/beauty treatments have their priorities wrong? Is it a class thing?

OP can’t spell, doesn’t bode well for her taste in ‘curating’ a house…

Sigh.
They're not free.
You have to pay rent.

Careful, OP. Your snobby side is very unattractive.

That's a bitchy comment!

Probably aligns to the thread.

I think the op also has the hump with designer gear as they spent all their money on twigs in vases and now look shabby walking around Tesco's.

@Kirbert2 people who have bought homes have to decorate and most are paying a lot more then council rent

Since when did paying rent equate to free?

I lived in a council house for a few years. I can tell you I worked my arse off to keep paying the rent on that thing. It definitely wasn't free! And despite paying rent month in, month out for several years, I wasn't allowed to do anything to the house besides have magnolia walls from top to bottom.

My late mum used to call ornaments "dust catchers". She warned me against ornaments and also against having silver or silver plate in the house - wastes too much time cleaning.

No indeed.

Maybe her sign will say CAN'T SPELL DON'T CARE instead of LIVE LAUGH LOVE

I give you my carefully 'curated' 18C chair.
Filthy upholstery by Mr John Lewis, holes by Les Enfants and a chewed leg courtesy of my late JRT. Accessorised by Scots of Stow old codgers cushion.

However I will spoil my old school credentials by admitting to attending a MW job interview today in a new Max Mara blazer!

What do you mean, is this a 'class thing?' What are you saying @OceanStorm ???

I do any painting in my house and I am terrible at it. It's definitely not properly decorated.

‘Liv, Laff, Luv’?

Why does that mean the PP has a free house?

They don't have to, they might want to though. I don't want to paint my walls which is perfectly fine.

Oh well.
I get Housing Benefit for my council house, so you'd really look down on me @OceanStorm

No they don’t. They can choose to decorate, if they want to. Like everyone else.

No. It’s not a class thing.

I know a few people who would fall into this category - we refer to them as

“all fur coat and no knickers”

They present in designer gear, use Sunbeds, have Botox but struggle to buy decent food or pay bills

"Opinions are like arseholes: everybody has one."

What a strange thing to say!

I don't honestly care what somebody else wears, as long as it's not inappropriate. And I certainly don't care how anyone else chooses to keep their home.

We all have our own priorities.

The Op isn’t about people who struggle to buy food or pay bills though. She’s talking about people who don’t curate their furniture.

I decorate because of how I'm perceived when people visit. If I had no visitors there is no point decorating. Same as wearing designer clothes. Perception

I'm allowed to paint the walls but I'm not allowed to put holes into the walls so no drills etc also no laminate flooring, it had to be vinyl if I didn't want carpets. I had to ask permission to put blinds up because it involved drilling and it was eventually agreed.

That she is considerable posher than everyone else on this thread.

Or so she thinks.

OP I may live in a council house, but at least I can spell, and I carefully proofread my posts.........
