wibu to call Dh common for sitting on the front door step. in the sun

[waikikamookau]

tis a council house thing, imo. I wouldn't do it,

[cocoleBOO]

I've been known to drag an armchair out the front to sit on. I like to sleep on it.

Everyone knows that sitting on doorsteps gives you piles. < fact > My MIL knows these things.We must all be as common as muck as we've all done our fair share of doorstep sitting over the years. Bugger.Common and with sore arses.Life's a bitch innit.

[Famzilla]

I wouldn't, because the horrible people opposite me do it and I don't wanna inhale their pot fumes, listen to their gobby 6 year old kids threaten to kick me in the cunt or watch them punch each other's remaining teeth out for nicking the others lambrini.

Oh, and the sun is blocked by the house.

[waikikamookau]

an old fashioned thing to do perhaps?

[LEMisdisappointed]

Your house is clearly on the wrong side of the road - i don't have to sit on my front door step, i sit in my lovely back garden

[waikikamookau]

my back garden gets sun til 2.30 ish, and goes further and further down the garden, til its gone, and its in the front , all afternoon I guess.

I did wonder about moving to a house opposite, good plan

Only if he was smoking, drinking beer and keep peering back into the house to shout at a naked toddler that was being naughty.

It's not that I don't like common people: I once met somebody who had been on a bus, but I don't feel I'd fit in on their threads. I'll go and post on a thread about balsamic vinegar or something a bit more...you know.

[waikikamookau]

ha ha tiggy

[SoupDragon]

I thought this said shitting!

I'm quite relieved.

[waikikamookau]

I don't think even my dh would shit in the front garden,

[Tabby1963]

I don't need to sit on the top step, I have a fold up chair by the front door specifically for this purpose. Many a time I have been sitting outside the front door (in full view of the whole street!) with laptop, cuppa and plate of biscuits. I had no idea it was 'common', and I couldn't give a fig either lol.

[SoupDragon]

Quite - I thought "Do you really need to ask whether that's common? Really??" Then I saw it on Active Conversations again and realised what it said :o

Apparently the previous owners of my house used to sit on the front step and drink wine as it catches the last sun of the day.

[ProfondoRosso]

YABU to call anyone common. As is anyone else who describes people as 'common.' Common compared to what/who?

[TheBigJessie]

Oi. Someone answer my question!

[waikikamookau]

you don't want my opinion The Big Jessie

um, hmm, neither, more like free spirits ,

or they just could be drunks

[TheBigJessie]

If they were drunk, that's even more worrying.

It was well before 7pm!

[noddyholder]

I would and the people opposite us all do as its sunnier than the back and I live in a naice road I also hang my washing on the balcony eat in the street and went to private school!

[Nombrechanger]

I agree with you. It is a bit common.

I wouldn't do it myself and I'm glad that people don't do it on my road.

[waikikamookau]

brave to post that nombrechamber
congrats.

[magentastardust]

My friends mum used to give us into trouble for sitting on her front door step when we were teenagers as it was common -so it appears you are not alone.

[noddyholder]

Tbh you sound more common than him he is at least comfortable enough to do what he wants in his own home you on the other hand are stifled

[noddyholder]

Read an anthropology book about unspoken habits and 'rules' in England. The woman doing the research found that most front gardens were for show, and that the front gardens with old sofas in them were almost the only ones where people actually sat out!
