Is my bathroom wall art ‘tacky’

[Kelzzinsouth]

Please settle a light hearted disagreement…Hubster says the new photo/poster I’ve put up in the downstairs loo will be considered ‘tacky’ by any visitors.

It’s the Mona Lisa but she’s holding her nose - you can see it on Google.

YABU - I agree with your Hubster
YANBU - it’s harmless

Yes. Don’t hang it in your loo.

I wouldn't want to look at this every day but if it gives you pleasure and makes you smile, then go for it.

For me, the joke would wear thin after the first time I looked at it. I want stuff on the walls which I love and never get bored of.

Ofcourse it's not normal. But that's just the point; his odeur is not normal. And he has done a coloscopy and got checked out from top to toe - very health anxious- and nothing is physically wrong with him. As for diet I eat way more garlic, onions and vegetables than he does but I don't eat meat. Maybe it's the meat? But my sons eat meat as well.

Anyway, I agree with you that it isn't normal but extreme situations call for extreme meausures. My sons can't stand his smell either, neither can his mum so it's not me being difficult. I had a friend over once and she almost fainted when she walked in the door (toilet close to entrance). And he does use bleach and spray after- it's just fucking impossible to hide. I've told him that he should contact the MI5 if they need some help with getting suspects talking..

Edited for honesty; it's not every single time but roughly 6 times out of 10 so bad enough. And ge goes everyday so I don't want to bet on this being a harmless one.

Hubster???
even worse than holibobs and picky bits/tea

It's not for me, but the general rule in our house is that I have what I want, cos the husband doesn't care. BUT, if he has an objection to something (or REALLY wants something), then he gets to say that and (usually, there's the odd occasion I love more than he hates) we go with his choice.

99% of the time I get exactly what I want, house decor wise, so I have no objections to deferring to his preference when he expresses it.

I get that the pong is probably difficult to abide in his case, but I feel really sorry for your DH, as that's his life and he can't change it. You might as well make him wear a bell around his neck and shout "Unclean" when he comes near.

We visited a cafe near Applecross in Wester Ross in the Highlands, there was a sign on the loo wall listing the things not to be flushed down the loo, ending with “Hopes and dreams”. I liked that.

Has he tried one of those sprays you spray on the water before pooing? V I Poo I think it’s called. I’ve also heard that striking a match quickly gets rid of poo smells.

Oh by the sound of the scale of this problem I wouldn't be trying that @TheBlueKoala! There might be more to ignite than you expect. House fire .... 😬

Just googled the spray out of curiosity and there is one called Poo Be Gone @TheBlueKoala

I am not a big fan of mass-produced art anyway and particularly on bathroom walls. But my very much loved sister-in-law is a huge lover of having things like 'Eat' in the kitchen and 'Live Laugh Love' in the living room so I've learned to just not look. Their wall, their style, so you do you, OP. It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Tacky

as is calling DH ‘Hubster’

Are there certain things you can only build with your dick?

Good lord it's awful. Your poor hubster🤨
Also YABU to make everyone Google it rather than just post a picture.

Better not come in my bathroom then. I have a chihuahua sat on the loo reading a paper I find it always makes people smile its just harmless bit of fun

Off topic but when did the word 'hubster' start being used?

Never heard of it.

And as OP gave it an UPPER case for H I thought it was something like Reddit -some forum or online style guide.

I've only heard 'hubbie'.

I’d say puerile rather than tacky.

Nah, he's clean and proper so no need for that. And he's not miserable- he doesn't admit to his sins but claims that we are all bonkers.

Couldn’t get past Hubster 😬

Amen and amen.

We refer to our downstairs loo as "The Depository"
Must get a sign made.
