Liking football

’Screens’

Enjoying anal sex

Actually, enjoying any kind of sex, beyond grimly enduring once a week missionary in complete silence with a long-term partner, and only after both partners have showered

Getting up late

Having non-sporty children

Being unable to drive

Not dressing like Kate Middleton at weddings

Letting kids drink tea and coffee

Wearing perfume

Porn

Sharing any life updates or photos on social media

Stating one’s own personal preference for a season

Trusting one’s partner

Being working class

OMG YY to so many of these especially working class!! I mean wtf?! 🤣

also - what about a baby scan pic as your FB profile pic? We all know how well this goes down !!! 🤣💪

EasterDream · 22/04/2025 04:42

Saying that you’re going to send your kid to a school with a very predominantly working class intake and is a school which middle class parents would never consider

This is met with complete incredulity /disbelief

RumbleHoney · 22/04/2025 04:07

Not being able to drive
going to university in London

tobee · 22/04/2025 04:02

Ghosting people

Boreded · 22/04/2025 03:49

And don’t forget you HAVE to self-identify your class otherwise how will we all live not knowing that you are better than us 🤣

Boreded · 22/04/2025 03:47

Men disagreeing with anything, better LTB
and don’t dream of defending a man for anything, that means you are part of the problem 😂

Being heterosexual and having opposite sex friendships.

Brexit
Coco pops
