Why do women over-decorate bathrooms?

Post by Galvatron »

Seriously, I was at a friend's house the other day and had to use the shitter, but his girl has the place sissied up like a Hello Kitty store.

Pink soap you're not supposed to wash your hands with. Pink towels you're not supposed to dry them with. The place was immaculate and smelled like someone just shat potpourri. Do they realize how frustrating this is for guests or are they more concerned with appearances?

How do you know you're not supposed to use them? Where there "for decoration only" signs or something?

I'll have to second that, foul smelling bathrooms are a rather terrible experience.

Isn't it a bitch to keep clean? I know I wouldn't want to have to navigate around doilies while trying to scrub away all the pubic hairs and dried piss in my own latrine.

Or is the decor intended to prevent that kind of thing in the first place?

No, the correct answer is because they need speakers so powerful that they can blow the clothes right off a woman.

All that living room needs to make it complete are;
1) A huuuge hidef TV
2) some heavy metal posters on the walls
3) a nice black leather sofa. Oh and maybe a glass and chrome coffee table :twisted:

Look, I don't know about you, but I don't tend to piss all over the bathroom.

I don't get it. Is there something wrong with that room -other than it being a little crowded? :?

No, the true revelation is

WAAAAAAAAWWWRRRR WWWOOOOWOOOWOOOOWOOOO BWARRRRRRRR!

And it's revealed, on a Fender.

You are clearly an apostate malcontent who will have to be dealt with.

My wife is 100% woman, and she finds lace doilies, little cutesey figurines, unusable pink towels and all that shite, as pointless and aggravating as I do.

I'm sorry, it's off-topic, but I have to point out that saying a Fender is somehow better than a Gibson is probably the surest sign of absolute fucktardism this side of cleaing out your own ass with a loaded gun.

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix use Fenders, therefore Fenders are better than Gibsons.

Let me just state for the record that THIS woman's shitter is NOT gussied up. It has plain white walls, a concrete floor (we had to pull the fancy stuff up after a flood and never replaced it), and at this moment both the toilet and sink could use a scrub. All cleaning stuff - soap, toothpaste, cloths, brushes, towels, etc. - are strictly utilitarian, available for use to any who enter the Little Room, and do not match in either style or color.

Of course, we already know I'm weird.

Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.- Malcolm Reynolds, Captain of Serenity, which sums up my feelings regarding the lawsuit discussed here.
