Only kidding.
What's with all the hatred for the corner sofa ?

What have I missed.

If you have to ask, you're part of the problem.

They tend to be used in small chavvy houses where space is at a premium, because you get an extra seat in the corner. They're often made from cheap plastic leatherette and are from DFS etc.

People also lie / lounge on them, which is very lower class.

My name's Dan, I live in a commuter town in the South East in a mortgaged property and I like corner sofas.

I think the overwhelming sentiment is more pity than triggered.

TVs mounted above a fireplace/just high in general make me sick in my mouth

Corner sofas however, nah not having it, they’re comfy and if you like entertaining mean you can get more on them.

I have a large open plan lounge/kitchen/diner and use the corner sofa facing away from the kitchen to separate the “lounge” into a separate space in a way

My TV is above the fire place, what's the problem m8?

Agreed, they couldn’t even afford walls between the kitchen, dining room and lounge.

I've got a corner sofa. Don't like it. Want to replace it it with a small sofa and armchair eventually. I don't like it due to practical reasons though, not for pathetically judgmental ones.

I'm on the lookout for a good chiropractor. How much does yours charge? He's obviously good.

I think it started as a joke but then some sad losers on here started taking it seriously so as to feel better about their pathetic lives.

*Note, I don't have a corner sofa and while my TV is wall mounted it is positioned fairly low down the wall while still being relatively child-safe.

Corner sofas are fine

TVs way above your eye level are mental.

@dymetrie posted in the 'items I have purchased' thread with a picture of what looked like a rather nice corner sofa. The first comment was that it's a bit chavvy and it all went from there.

Is that a rug, on a rug? SnoopZibit.jpg

I have a corner sofa. We got it cheap when we lived in a flat. It does the two of us fine. We will replace with a 3 and 2 eventually.

Is OP suffering from a mod name change ? I saw this and initially thought it was a troll post but the post count shot that theory down.

DampCat · 13 Jan 2019 at 11:30

Just for the OP:

Someone in the Things You've Bought Thread posted their new corner sofa, to which one strange commenter responded "corner sofa, bit chavvy no?"
Everyone else just kind of runs with it, because it's hilarious.

The TV thing no idea, probably because it sucks. I'd hate having my TV up there personally.
