I just peaked at middle class wankerism

At a farm café... naturally. And daughter is on special diet, so she was eating her packed lunch. And she went to eat her apple ...I found my self saying "oh darling, let me wash your apple, it's got brioche crumbs all over it"

What a dick I am 🤣

I can't say Brioche without hearing Catherine Tate , I think it's a word you can't say without sounding posh.

The garden centre deli was out of goat’s cheese this afternoon.

Sad

Oh I know a little dog called Brioche 😂 it looks how you think it looks.

I can’t decide between white and fluffy or actually looking like a bread roll! 😆

Hopefully the family was fat and dressed in lounge wear to balance it all out nicely.

I hardly ever have lounge wear on the beach, you can't get a good sunburn.

Think you should tell the whole world that it’s only the middle classes that eat fruit- I’m not sure everyone else got that memo

Would you like ketchup for the chip on your shoulder?

I genuinely don’t feel either. I enjoy a good joke. I just don’t feel this is one.

This reminds me of Margot Leadbetter who just couldn’t see the funny side of things and took everything so seriously while other people found things funny.

It’s ok there’s no obligation to be on here if it’s not your cup of camomile with Manuka honey tea.

So many posters just exist to bring every bloody thread down on this forum under the ‘viper’ guise. So predictable.

Cucy · 05/04/2025 15:39

These replies are absolutely batshit!!!

There must be some reason why so many posters now feel the need to snipe and pick apart an OP.
It never used to be like this on here.

Actually even the working class are able to afford brioche, unfortunately.
😉😁😁.

It's a bit like eating cake tbh

Vine ripened tomato conserve, surely?

You swerve it each and every day you have 'tea'.

Quelle horreur.😦

It’s really odd isn’t it? What are they like in real life sucking on their Sicillian lemons with a mouth like a Ragdoll cat’s arse. I’d hate to be this stiff and humourless.

Oh I used to love Overheard in Waitrose. Are images working again on MN? Just found these highlights.

These are brilliant

I can’t imagine myself ever ever saying any of those though! Or anybody I know.

Do people actually relate to these?

you forgot the deep fried mars bar lol 😂

I'm intolerant to amaranth, fortunately it's rarely a problem as long as I stay away from BeKind bars. Does feel like a middle class food intolerance to have, though.

Maybe it's related to ibuprofen - I'm allergic to that.

Been here since all was fields.
Have only ever laughed at things that are funny.
Plenty wasn't funny then

Thread's over, lads, the universal authority on what is funny on MN and what isn't has arrived.

doreeen · 05/04/2025 15:47

I remember a magazine front cover going viral ages ago with one of the stories ‘one family’s desperate search for a second pony’ 🤣

When in a hole, stop digging..

Instead of blaming others, maybe explain what your post actually meant.

Nothing you said is remotely middle class 'wankerism'.

You said you were in a farm shop having a snack, your child had an apple and you wanted to brush the crumbs off it for her. (I assume she's got a food intolerance.)

Brioche, Greggs pasty, artisan sourdough, who cares?

I'm afraid all your post does is show you aren't middle class as you feel the need to boast about eating something perfectly ordinary in an ordinary setting.

Edited

Oof, what a serious post. Ffs lighten up 😁

You don't have to. Not everyone has the same humour.

True enough. Although judging by this thread I’m in good company.

Some of the replies are rather amusing so it’s still worth a read.

Thank heavens you don’t have to stay, luckily MN allows you to leave threads you don’t like. Imagine if you were forced to endure reading through the posts till page 40 crying “I don’t get it, I don’t get it!

happyhermione · 05/04/2025 15:53

Threads like this remind me that women alone honestly couldn’t run the world as per my mates’ utopian bar chat. We’re just as mean and squabbly as the lads.

OP was pretty funny I thought.

Right. It’s fairly inoffensive as MN threads go.

Too true - have you seen the toilet brush threads?.😱
