Supposedly ’posh’ things you think are common *trigger warning this is light hearted*

[ReadingWorm]

Obviously lighthearted and no need to explain your rational. But what are things that some people consider high end/ posh/ classy/ aspirational (I know they are not necessarily the same thing) that you don’t like/ think are tacky/ common / etc.

Again this is light hearted. We can complain but we must never explain!!!!!!

Here is my list.

Molton Brown hand wash
M&S food shop
American Style Fridges
Having a tan
Talking about exercising
Beauty Advent Calendars
Designer toasters and kettles
House of Fraser department stores
Posting photos from 1st class travel on instagram
Referring to your car by its brand name
Talking about your ‘forever home’
Shopping in Space NK
Visiting Disney World
Listening to Classic FM

• Kids in top-to-toe designer labels, especially if the brand name is emblazoned across it.
• Dubai
• Massive 4X4s when you don't even live rurally
• Buying a ton of merchandise for every minor event, e.g. Valentine's Day gifts for each of your children, spending more on Easter baskets than most people spend on Christmas
• Overconsumption in general

Unless you’re planning on licking your flooring (which I hope not), then why is it an issue?

Saying something is lighthearted doesn’t make it lighthearted.

Oh but it does 😉

Dryrobe on the schoolrun inland.

c'mon

who thinks that is posh?

Going on holiday to Dubai.

Kitchen islands.

yes I use l'occitane, the shea one, don't care if its posh but it keeps my hands nice.

I don’t think people think many of these things are posh, do they?

But also their is only one option for good handwash: www.penhaligons.com/uk/en/categories/bath-and-body/bath-hand-wash

I think this is just a millennium thing? (I am a millennial bwt)

You do realise they are two different things? Neither are considered posh

Disagree. Took my kids a few years ago and got talking to another Mum whilst the DC were swinging on high ropes. We were talking about taking them out of school in term time and she said she couldn't do it as the press would be on to her. She was the wife of a very famous MP.

Serviette, settee, toilet and trifle😱

Tell that to Mrs Overall

That's supposed to be your cleaner's problem, daaarling.

I am being light hearted but I have genuinely heard this said to me.

Personally, I don't ask people to take them off because I don't give a shit about my carpet! 😁

No one thinks giant blown up canvas family photos are posh. They might like them - each to their own, but no one thinks they're posh!!

Aren't these all just nouveau riche things?

Because I enjoy my shitparticles free home, it is quite simple :)

On serious side, if I drop a piece of clothing on a floor by accident I do not want to stress over washing it as guests walked over with dirt.
And more importantly, I have children who touch floor and do not wash hands every 10mins while playing.

The royal family. I'm serious.

Nicky Haslam is the one snob who can stay - how I long to buy my in laws the one that lists Richard Osman and vegetables “from our garden” and jiggling your knee 😂

Abandon thread!

The lighthearted trigger warning has been ignored.

I repeat - Abandon thread!

Range rovers - definitely
Designer labels - they’re just so basic
A perfectly decorated, spotless home.
Likewise, perfectly curated hair and make-up.
Huge cups of crappy, milky take-out coffee.
Agree about new driveways with no greenery.

Great huge bucket-like wine glasses that hold 250/300ml. What is elegant or glamorous about having to fling your head back to a 110 degree angle to sip your wine.
Give me a 125ml glass with some discreet decorative gold leaf. Far more civilised.

Taking loads of drugs
Being rude
