To find my family a bit common and embarrassing

[holdonfor1moreday]

Or am I just pretentious?

They love the cakes at pat Valarie and go on about them. When I think these are vile made off site factory cakes that are frozen.

They played the sam smith album and went on about how good his voice is and all that. Sounds like music for people that dont like music IMO.

They are wolfing down cadburys chocolate saying how delicious it is. Over sweet waxy stuff - give me Mr Roth any day.

I just don't feel on the same level as them. Really average lives and I just have nothing in common with them.

to my family, not for. Sorry. I've been up since 5.

Snorts beg you a pardon snorting is your pigs, terribly unrefined.

OP says "should of" and then dares look down on her family for enjoying Pat Val??

Perhaps OP was adopted as a baby and is really a princess!

Tell us OP what kind of cake do you like?

You come across as a terrible snob. Most food is made in a factory of some sort, some factories are smaller than others and all food sold somewhere is made in bulk...

You are Adrian Mole and I claim my £10.

The thread's gone exactly as she planned and she'll be setting up her name change for more goady fuckery.

Well some peole aren't mainstream, for a lot of different reasons.
In some ways, I could easily have written your posts and certainly the bit about not fitting in and not liking what seen to be what all other people around me like.

However, this has nothing to do with been common or popularist or whatever else. (To start with what is mainstream in one circle will be very different in another).
It has a lot to do with the fact your tastes/beliefs are very different than the ones of your own family. Probably a bit unusual but you shouold be able to live with that and accept they have different tastes (just as I would expect them to accept yoou do have different tastes and to respect that too)

Please try and remember that it's 'have' not 'of' op, a mistake like that, which originates from your regional accent, makes you seem irredeemably common.

I fear ilovesooty is right. Poor OP. What a terrible soul destroying way to spend the day.

But its quite funny goadyness thread is just silly

I'd like to know what musicians and eateries you deem to be acceptable. Or do you only like musicians we've not heard of yet?

OP, can i just ask where you have your keyboard?
is it like on the wall in front of you?

It's about the only place i can imagine you could see it, what with you nose being so far up your own arse in the air.

I have no Easter eggs. Or cakes Common or otherwise. This is the real tragedy. Also did you mean populist?

I suspect that this is a wind-up, but for what it's worth YABVU and you come across as a complete twat.

fourage please start a thread, I'm intrigued!

I like Patisserie Valerie I even bought one of their mugs to use at home. I only like dark chocolate but Lidl is my favourite. I think it is pretentious and 'common' to sneer at other people's tastes and even worse to look down on the family to which you belong.
I grew up in a council house, went to grammar school and eventually got a degree. I was a teacher for 30 years but going back to that council house, sharing a box of Milk Tray with Mum and gossiping with Aunty and cousins was more enriching than any opera, gourmet meal or conference. I don't have Mum or Aunty any more but I am proud to belong to that family.

I'd rather have a family who were 'common and embarrassing' than a relative who is a pretentious snob who thought so little of their family that they were prepared to slag them off on social media. I feel sorry for your family having a relative like that and I feel sorry for you because you are making yourself unhappy by being like this.
True happiness can be yours but not if you carry on like this.

Cadbury's and Sam Smith? I thought you were going to say they have ferrets down their trousers and a life-size cardboard cutout of Nigel Farage.

I had a friend who was always dissing her "schemie" family and the "cultural backwater" she came from. It was v. dull. Life isn't that simple that you can just write people off for liking particular things.

We don't have patesserie valerie here we have greggs though

The sound pretty normal to me. Some of us would do anything to have that. How boring if we were all the same.
