Wanky things you’re guilty of

[Pumpkittenspice]

For me, it’s using a Fortnum and Mason hamper basket as a piece of decor…

Lots of antique furniture and decorative items on display - including an antique singer sewing machine, despite the fact I can't sew, and a beautiful very old piano, despite the fact none of us can play the piano.

Me too, my people!!

im guilty of a couple of things mentioned here but im loving the ideas to improve my overall wankeryness 🤣

sometimes i stop myself doing/buying something wanky but this thread gives me courage to let my true wanker self shine through 🥹

I refuse to buy any jewellery unless it is real gold and/or actual diamonds or gemstones. No coloured glass/cubic zirconia. I said to DH the other day that I'd rather have five, proper pieces of jewellery than lots of cheap stuff. I do recognise this makes me a total wanker.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this thread. I now want an F&M hamper (they're not as expensive as I thought) and pretty books.

I'm too poor at the moment to be wanky but I do have proper rolled tea leaves to make in a pot!

I heard myself say 'most of my good jewellery is inherited' the other day.

I have multiple Joules’ polos which generally get an outing for dog walks, but to be fair, I’m ‘horsey’ (super wanky!)

I often come out with bits of French, I’m a language teacher and sometimes French words just fit better or I can’t think of the English. My Dh thinks it’s pretentious but I honestly don’t remember the right word in my own language! 🤣

I have all my running medals hung up and on display in the office.

Some of the stuff listed is not ‘wanky’.

I agree - we need a definition!

Yes, this is what I mean!

Nothing in particular in our house, but DS did take an utter dish to uni with him because we don’t use anything else and obviously you can’t have it from the fridge. He thought this was normal 😂

I feel so validated. Thank you 😂

I will admit my pans and huge casserole dish were on display but only because the pans came with a wooden stand and the casserole dish sat on the side because it was too heavy to put in the cupboard. It was a sad day when i gave them away.

Is anyone else thinking some of the things on here are the precise opposite of wanky?

Aesop incense sticks. TBH I could probably get the same smell from something from the crystal shop around the corner for £2 but i really don’t care 😂

I’ve done this until recently in the past too. I’m such a wanker…

I have the equestrian, country attire "thing" going on.

Wasn't sure if I was a tea pot wanker then i remembered my niace cosy I insisted we buy for ££.

I came from a working class back ground and I haven't ever ridden a horse and I have no dog.

Fixes i'm a massive wanker badge onto my corduroy lapel.

No, it's another thread for people to say things they think make them look rich or classy.
Personalised numberplates and mentioning your husbands salary obv does that in an instant

I turned my cross body bag around yesterday as the branding wasn't showing. Admittedly I was in a posh county town!

For me that would include things like getting nails done - on the rare occasion I have had my nails done, I don't tell anyone in case they think it's a bit chav.

I keep the dog's snacks in a Fortnum tin, and it makes me chuckle every day

For those throwing French casually into the conversation, I’m worse. I’m a solicitor and throw in some Latin.

its not that I speak Latin, but there are some phrases that are easier to use in their original form than spend a paragraph explaining what it means. Barristers are worse, they chuck the Latin in whenever they can!

I suppose mine would be:

Cloth napkins when entertaining
Taking black cabs
Occasionally smoking vogues
Holidaying in Provence

I do own silk liberty pyjamas but they’re in a dust bag which I expect would make me nouveau riche, if I were indeed rich. Just nouveau, then

Calling jewellery “paste” is another one

😂😂😂

You must! You won’t be a wanker until you do!
