I just peaked at middle class wankerism

[Buckarooo]

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 stand the "I'm really confused" "I don't know what you're asking" "I'm baffled" brigade

Just write "I'm being passive aggressive" rather than pretending to be thick as shit

Aw never mind. This thread must be very disappointing for you.

Would it be really infra dig to substitute your reblochon with a bit of camembert?

Sometimes you just have to make do.

I always like imagining the dickheads going into their staffroom at work when everyone is sharing a joke and being a fun sponge every time

Your thoughts are bonkers. It was a daft, lighthearted post and suddenly the "REAL middle class" have turned up to gatekeep their club from the wannabes 🤣

I bet it goes silent when they walk in.

As long as it was not Jeremy Clarkson's farm, then I hope you had a lovely day and can smile about the brioche crumbs for years to come.

So if Waitrose, brioche and Nat Trust are wannabe middle class, what's real middle class? Or is it a secret just in case too many undesirables turn up 🤫

It’s a whole vibe. Mumsnet was literally grown out of this aspirational persona. OP is literally stereotypical mumsnetter.

Legend has it, if you dare to pick up a pot of hummus in Waitrose a mumsnet certified middle class poster will appear behind you to remind you that the hummus will NEVER make you middle class and even the merge suggestion of such a thing is preposterous so you may as well hang your head in shame and meander on to Asda for some Findus crispy pancakes like the working class heathen you are

So?

I once nipped into M&S to pick up some tzatziki and as I opened the pot, a disembodied voice whispered "YOU'RE STILL POOR" to me. True story.

(Not a true story, I've never nipped into M&S nor have I ever bought tzatziki)

I once glanced in the window of a Toast store, musing internally on how anyone can spend so much money on fuck ugly clothes, and a spirit appeared and shouted “They’re not for you anyway, dirty northerner”

So it is ‘real’ middle classers as opposed to the lowly ‘aspirational’ middle classers who are getting the hump on here?

So? It’s cringe. Makes grown women look massively insecure in their own lifestyles, as well as completely naive and a little dim as to how the world works.

and on no level, is it ha ha funny. I mean some people find Bernard manning funny I suppose, but they’re niche too

This thread is hilarious 😂

Ah, except I too happen to be a filthy Northerner, but I also happen to know, socially, the original owners of Toast.

😂 honestly you are hilarious. Are you the poster that said you weren’t triggered on here?

When my DD was 8, she was having a conversation with a friend of mine, we were talking about bedtime and she was explaining how she cannot sleep without her special handmade sleeping mask infused with lavender that she got from a designer at an interior design fair.

I melted at how “uppity” it sounded! The truth was I gave her £10 to spend on anything (including food) when we went to an interiors fair with a makers market down the road from us. All she wanted was the eye mask and she managed to haggle the price down from £12 to £8 because she wanted it so much and the lady on the other end probably heard me saying “if this is the only thing you are buying then you better use it!”

And she really did use it! And it helped her sleep in the dark.

Me and one of my closest friends grew up what you would call working class - parents scraping by, cheap dinners, parents working manual labour jobs and although we feel working class - our lives and children have pushed us into the world of middle class - and this post is full of things that we laugh at.

You must be joking people to not aspire to pass middle class litmus tests. And ski instructors and horse are decidedly something discussed amongst people who have money for it. TBH I think the thing that's stands out the most is when people like yourself try to police how someone might come across its because of your own insecurity your own knowledge that perhaps your less than. Your posting was pathetic you can't gate keep middle classness. God almighty imagine if some of these posters had children they would be so boring to associate with, no knowledge of Hacking no concept on Austrian slopes.

Can you ask them where they dreamt up such hideous clothing please 😂

I don’t think it’s humble or bragging.

Hahahaha, this made me day. Blue wkd, my drink of choice until I poshed up (i.e. married a posho). He drinks aperol spritz sometimes, as, now, do I. The foolproof test of class identity. (And yes, I realize that I am not, and never will be, one of the poshos. That blue wkd leaves a stain that no amount of spritz can ever remove).

Are you using that word in the 'Daily Mail' sense?
