      Remember how people used to collect tiny spoons? This is like that. Now it’s towels that say “Fuck off kid, mommy’s getting plastered” Bonus points if you hang it on a shitty wooden ladder.

        Ugh or the tiny decorative soaps shaped like roses that you can’t use, they’re for decoration only, but your mom got them as a wedding favor in the '80s so the soaps and the little wicker display basket they came in have accumulated a coating of dust that can’t be removed unless you use water which rUiNs the sOaPs…

        That and doilies. I really hate doilies.

          Are you old enough to remember those Barbie dolls that old ladies used to crochet a dress for so you could stand Barbie up in a roll of toilet paper and the dress would get pulled down over it? And the toilet paper was light pink?

            Yes indeed! My grandmother had one, but I don’t think it was Barbie specifically but a knockoff with dark hair. The doll had a blue dress and so she bought the blue toilet paper. I had completely forgotten about it!

              My grandma had a padded pink vinyl toilet seat that matched the Barbie and the toilet paper. When you sat on it it slowly squished all the air out. It was an awful feeling.

                I remember those too! Oh god I hated those.

                Mine had a carpeted bathroom, which is such an obviously bad idea for a room with a bathtub in it, I still can’t imagine what they were thinking.
