What's the wankiest thing you'll admit to doing?

[NotDarkGothicMama]

Inspired by this AIBU thread and Sunday lunch.

When I have a particularly large parsnip to prepare, I enjoy waving it around like a club and pretending to be a caveman first.

How lovely! What a duo! True Romance! 💜🌟🥳

That's actually adorable. I might try this with DH.

I went on a course at a high school in Cambridge. The girls' loos had lots of graffiti in Latin and uplifting messages in biro. I was impressed.

I mean, don't we ALL make soffrito for our soups and sauces?

I am wankier than I thought. Also grew up in Staffordshire.

Surely it’s ignorant not to do that!

Eating caviar with your fingers is not wanky. It's just messy.

Providing mother-of-pearl spoons would be wanky.

OP - did you mean wackiest? Wankiest is a different thing!

Fastidiosus!

No, but I'm enjoying the direction the thread has taken. The exes are much wankier than what we're fessing up to.

Nope. I buy mine pre-made from the frozen section.

I've no idea why I don't. It's not wankiness to the fresh produce cause. I'm a martyr.

Raised a 5 year old with expensive flying tastes, he was very confused the one time he had to fly economy. Mummy... why are we queuing with everyone? In his defence it was a legit question not a twatty remark

I tend to think most people are not making their own pasta and soffrito based sauce, more Dolmio and cheap spaghetti or ready meals, but that could be just me being wanky of course. 😅

I do also buy dried pasta, I'm not that wanky.

I will only eat hot food from a warmed up plate.
My whole family know to warm my plate before serving food.

Saying Tuesday with a broad Scouse accent- “Chewsdee”. Don’t know why it happens, I have no Liverpudlian connections whatsoever. Deeply embarrassing and utterly wanky.

Staff night out, too much to drink and 2 of us ran across the road and ran into the Conservative Club and shouted loudly “Vote Labour” then ran out again , made me laugh anyway!

When DD1 was little, probably eight or so, I bought her a sandwich when we were out and about and she didn't eat it because it was made with margarine not butter.

We do have butter at home but I don't recall ever having a conversation about margarine with her. Perhaps I can blame granny for that one 😅

I keep secret Yorkshire Gold teabags in an undercover tea caddy next to the main caddy with the normal Yorkshire teabags in. On the grounds that DH and DS just mash any old teabags to a pulp in a mug and can’t tell the difference between any variety of teabag, whereas I prefer the YG ones and use a pot.

This might be wanky in itself, but I think of wanky meaning the same as onanistic - self-absorbed, pointlessly self-indulgent, self-love/self-gratification in the very negative sense. Or as a circle jerk metaphor. I do really like it as an adjective.

This is normal. Cold plates are for salad.

I only drink tea out of a China mug. There is just something about it that makes the tea taste so much better.
Coffee is different, I don't mind a chunky mug for that

Yes I knew it was pronounced Beaver from reading about the castle in uni. Unfortunately I did a wanky degree and post graduate and heard all sorts of wanky words had ridiculous pronunciation. When I realised I had been pronouncing epitome as eppy tome I almost disappeared into my own navel 😂🤷🏼‍♀️.

Victoria, is that you?

Memorised "Xanadu" poem by Coleridge. I recite it to myself in moments of boredom, stress or frustration.

The exes are much wankier than what we're fessing up to.

I wonder what our exes would say about us though! I suspect it wouldn't be comments about our china mug preferences or 'witty' Latin quips.
