GRRRRRR!!!!
Aug. 15th, 2006 08:38 pmWatching TV, and a program about house design came on. First item was about an architect and a fashion designer and their *fabulous* all-white designer apartment. The people irritated me to start with their "why should I settle for crap B&Q fittings when I can afford better?" attitude. The stupidity of the apartment was irritating as well - the toilet was behind a completely clear glass wall. So that they can have conversations whilst ... err... being on the toilet. EEEWWW! I like my privacy in certain situations, thankyou.
But what irritated me was the way that they so obviously thought that they were better than the average pleb because their flat was painted white and they had Philip Starcke bathroom fittings.
"In jobs like ours, we appreciate good design."
They didn't have a book, a magazine, or a craft project visible. I think they spent all their free time polishing, dusting and throwing away anything interesting.
I don't trust people like that.
I don't like people like that.
And I certainly can't abide houses like that.
