Weird requests

[Neil408]

Hi all, this is just a fun thread but I received a really odd message a few hours ago. 

Of course, I declined the guest but I think this must rank in one of the more wackier things I’ve had to deal with. 😂😂

Oh and this is my bathroom. Is it really that bad? I quite like the blue 🤣😕

Good grief, be careful, he may next expect you to lie down on the floor to replace that mat he also doesn't like. 🤣

@Neil408 bloody rude of them!

[Ann72]

@Neil408  That is hilarious!!!

[Kelly149]

@Neil408 I might have bit and said "yes, pick your color, I'll add $1000 to the stay for time and trouble"

oh who are we kidding, no I wouldn't!

people are so weird

[Inna22]

@Neil408 paint the bathroom you must

[Neil408]

Heheh 😏 😄

[Fred13]

Best for you two to agree on the same color chart, to make sure you paint it the color he likes.

(Could you guys believe this inquiry?)

@Neil408 

Sorry Neil but I'm siding with pantone Mike on this one.

The blue looks like some radioactive E number colouring used in a circa late 1970's slush puppie blue raspberry drink.

Dob on some Farrow and Ball Lulworth Blue (No 89), your retinas will thank you for it.

[Neil408]

Interestingly it is an F&B colour called St Giles Blue

[Neil408]

Lulworth Blue is a bit toned down in comparison!

@Neil408  Definitely weird, hilarious request, but I have to say I'm in Elena's camp- that blue is something awful. Looks like that gel in ice packs. But hey, it's your house and you obviously must like it.

[Neil408]

I was wondering if it was just me but I asked my friends and they all hate it too 😂 just don’t want cream or white. 

[Sarah977]

@Neil408  I'm not at all a fan of white, cream, beige, etc. Much too blah for me. I could see those parts of the wall that are now painted hurt-my-eyes blue in a soft salmon color.

 Here's something curious- I'm an upholsterer by trade and when I give the fabric sample books to a woman, there's no predicting what color she might choose. But if I had $20 for every time a man chose blue, it would likely pay for a yearly holiday, because 90% of men will choose some shade of blue, and usually not a subtle one.

 I've wondered if the attraction to blue is in the male DNA or they gravitate towards blue because parents dress little boys in blue and paint their rooms blue, so it's the color that gets imprinted on the male psyche from a very young age..
