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 🤣

60% of the UK is considered 'middle class' so surely most things will be eaten by most people in that bracket regardless of where it's sold.

I’m ignoring the indignation as I think it’s funny if you say something that sounds like ‘middle class wankery’ and you realise it. I’m not even technically middle class but will find myself sometimes saying something ‘posh’ and think ‘hark at you’. 😁

Overheard in Lidl- “oh Gordon they even do Pouilly Fumé!”
Overheard in soft play - small child to other small child: “I only like vegan marshmallows “

What I've learned from this thread is that to be truly middle class, you must sacrifice your sense of humour - if the posters on this thread are anything to go by.

We were on holiday in a very naice middle class place last week (we won a holiday, hence why we were there🤣) and it was a hive of Boden, striped tops/jumpers and "oh Barnaby, do come and eat some lychee, darling!".

When you live surrounded by Primark, tracksuits and "go on, have a dairylea dunker", it very much felt middle class to us 😅

Agree @AquaPeer has some issues.

We need to accept Diversity and embrace linguistic variations. Othering those that aren’t the same as us creates division.

I won't mention the sparkler...

To attempt to police someone's humor then talk about acceptance is something only a person who both lacks intellectual capability and espouses utterly pointless nice sounding statements to deflect from the share meaness. Get a life. OP is most probably like me working class moved to middle find it awkward so make jokes.

I was thinking the same thing !

Your mental health might be under threat from your self hatred. Classism is divisive to the psyche. Learn to breathe slowly and embrace Le Creuset as your version of Nike trainers, or whatever it is the plebs currently covet, it’s just another product, not defining your very soul. Take care. X

Yes.

Oh wait are you joking okay if you are its very funny and i bow down if not prior statements stand.

Oi - I resent that! I’m solidly mc, but I’m comfortable in my own skin and can laugh at myself and mc wankery 😂

I constantly marvel at how middle class my kids sound and wonder where the bloody hell it’s come from. Then I remember I’m a doctor and live in a leafy neighbourhood (also coincidentally 10 mins from a Waitrose) and go ahhhh, yea, that’s because they are 🙄😂

Why?

Fortunately for me any accidental middle class remarks were countered by dd ( who was a petite and angelic looking dc) shouting. ‘Come on you reds,’ as taught to her by dh and ds. I never knew when she would shout it.

Ok

I realised I had peaked when I found myself in the verge of a tearful meltdown in Aldi because I couldn't find the right kind of hummus.

What the fuck have I just read? MN on form today 🤣

Do people genuinely think having an apple in a farm cafe or saying the word 'brioche' is humble brag worthy?

Anyway op I understand, sometimes the things that leave my own mouth make me cringe too (from very poor roots, to affluent to poor again due to disability).

I recently called myself a knobhead too when I found myself huffing about not being able to find nigella seeds for my borek in Waitrose.

Shopping can be so cruel. Why bring this onto yourself by going to Aldi? I hope you’re ok,now.

Omg me too, thought I was alone in huffing over the lack of reblochon in Waitrose for tartiflette. Will never be able to admit this irl obviously

One of my daughter’s first words too was Mami except she meant edamame… She did say Mama before that thankfully.

I'm actually struggling to work out of 80% of these replies are serious or if people are doing some weird faux-mocking joke thing.

Nothing posh about brioche. It’s UPF and has a shelf life of about 25 years.
