I wonder how long it took them to find a bath that unpleasant.

I see they have what looks like "live love laugh" on the walls which is such a bad taste cliche but then they have "wash" under the bathroom basin. I'm wondering if they have similar instructions elsewhere, like the toilet.

Nah, it just says 'Poop' under the front gable of the house, so you get the general idea

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

If you look closer it actually says "naff".

Except it says “love | laugh | love” 🤨

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes I get the urge to decorate my house with signs of every permutation of "Laugh", "Live", and "Love" except for the popular one.

I want "power | courage | wisdom"

Bloody Hell, it does and all. I mean, I... well... but why?

I've seen worse. My coworker and I had been booked into an AirBnB once, as hotels were all full. We've been told "One bed and one couch" - not good, but works in a pinch. Wrong. It was one double bed in the flat of an absolute, over the top gay males couple. Not only was the double bed a thing we would not accept, but the worst was that the room was all over decorated with pictures of naked men. NOPE. Not our style.

So we went bed-hunting, and were extremely lucky to find two hotel rooms that had been cancelled by someone else that day. When we sent in the invoices to the accouting department, they were not happy - Why would we book hotel rooms if there was a booked and paid AirBnB? I sent them two photos I had taken of the AirBnB room, and they paid the hotel bill without any more questions.

The OTT decor makes it sound like the whole purpose of AirBnB'ing is to see if any guys who stay there might be down to fuck.

Cool if that's your personal space but not so cool when it's an AirBnB anyone could be staying in.

I don't think I'd feel comfortable with that, and I say that as someone who is pretty gay.

It's Miss Piggy's basement bachelorette pad.

Yes ... Or mariah carey

[–] toxicbubble 14 points 8 months ago

the wristwatch on the wall really pulls it all together. in 20 years ppl will hang smartwatches on their wall

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

The chairs and table are pushed up to the wall. Yeah, you can pull it to the center of the room when using it, but it feels impractical and emphasizes that it’s boxed in. The greatest crime, however, is words. Laugh, Love, WASH?! I was gonna grant a pass until I saw the last one. Stop it.

What is with this trend of having bows or handles on the backs of chairs? Why? Just why?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I’ve only seen bows on chairs at wedding receptions. Not my taste for a wedding. Definitely not my taste for my dining room.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

It makes it appear like someone has just been gifted a set of chairs they've not unwrapped yet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I assumed the handles are for chairs that are overly heavy and hard to grip.

Oh dear, that's 27 minutes from me. Must. Resist. Going.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I dunno, I think I could work with that kitchen

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

On the bright side you can guarantee it has never been cooked in so the appliances are new. They nuked some pizza a few times and made that one smoothie. Remember to take the hang tag out of the oven before you turn it on.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Complete with fake Chanel rug?!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oh no, the decor is all going into the bonfire out back

[–] thehatfox 4 points 8 months ago

I will never understand putting rugs and carpets in the wettest rooms of the house.

[–] thehatfox 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's the Karcher pressure washer box, it really pulls the room together.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

The chrome pillar is kind of throwing me

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

It's like someone with no taste had to fit out the house, and had a £3000 gift card for The Range.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This looks like a player house in final fantasy 14

[–] ArtVandelay 4 points 8 months ago

If only it would auto demolish after a month of no one going inside

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I agree how can you possibly love and laugh without live?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

When every fool knows, it's "laugh, love, wash". It's the only hygienic order.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Maybe they assume we are already alive because we are standing there reading it, and we don't need further instruction, aside from WASH.

Is this person related to Liberace by chance?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'd call this style Gypsy Glitter Vomit

I kinda like the sliced ham carpet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

That's just sliced ham.

Oh my god this is what happens if grandma smokes too much crack

Some people just want to watch the world burn. In pink chiffon.

When you're a rich Lolita.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Or a drag queen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I'm intrigued by that towel around the bath

[–] Kethal 2 points 8 months ago

After a while, you learn to live, laugh, love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

The lighting makes this look like an underground bunker. The deco make it all the better
