To hate the laughing at "lower class" people on here?

[brasty]

I know it gets disguised as laughing at certain children's names, phrases, etc, but there is a lot of threads on MN that is really about laughing at poorer people. Hate it.

Perhaps you are already admirably dropping the R. Just make sure not to introduce glo''al stops and you are (ah?) good for MN.

Anyone who work, either at home looking after dc, or in a job, is working class to me, so that covers everyone!

Myrtle and others, so do you assume that most people are sahp and NOT the 'lawyer' or 'cardiologist' that they claim to be?

Really? How cynical you all are. Or maybe naieve I am!!

Anybody that needs to go to work is working class, but I'd be flamed if I started a thread saying that.

saying if you say 'tea' instead of dinner you are 'common

Yup, like the whole horrible thread where one woman was slaughtered for saying “ sups” and a slew of other threads were started to slag her and her middle class words off.

Totally agree.

Waxon that is a brilliant saying!

Nanna is working class

Agree OP. The snobbery on here is beyond belief at times.

'Yup, like the whole horrible thread where one woman was slaughtered for saying “ sups” and a slew of other threads were started to slag her and her middle class words off.'

Yes I remember that she was ridiculed for page after page. Apparently that's ok though as its mocking up not down

Perhaps you are already admirably dropping the R

But I'm not because that would be ca.

But this is all off topic :o

On a total aside, someone with a £35k-£40k income, university education and £300k house is kidding themself if they think they're middle class? Really?

How are they anything else? MN really confuses me at times.

Didn't see that thread but what does sups mean please, is it what's up or refering to drinks ?

I'd consider that working class. It's not a high salary

I can be a bit oblivious to all the prejudice, snobbery, sneering, mocking and general unpleasantness in social interactions. I do appreciate it sometimes being spelt out to me on mumsnet.

It is about tolerance. I tolerate that people are different from me. It would be boring if we were all the same. I mostly accept that others can think, feel, act differently than me. Others seem to have issues.

When I make drinks, I make a pot of tea, I put milk in a jug (the plastic milk carton is heavy and drips). The sugar goes in a bowl. Everyone helps themselves as I can't remember how much sugar people take. I put it on a tray with a plate of biscuits. I don't care if others do it differently. Others make everyone individual cups to order and trudge through multiple times bringing drinks to everyone. Does it really matter?

Yes. apparently it does. I can't believe how much hassle a person can get simply from making everyone a drink at break-time. It's difficult to fit in sometimes.

Mind you my neighbours are millionaires and are as working class as you can get.

Do they own the house outright? What is the debt?

Supper with friends iirc, bit cheesy yes but the wrath and vitriol unleashed was a bit ott.

Oh ok thank you.

I know many middle class/upper class people and they are obsessed with labels in clothes, schools and house prices. Their children's names are the least of their worries! they also have a lot of debt despite generous windfalls

Can't really say I care what a keyboard warrior says on an anonymous internet forum.

I'm sure I remember a thread sneering about people who say "pardon". Went right over my head but I gathered I shouldn't be doing it in some made up world that no one I know lives in

Pardon is non u.

people also dislike my use of strike out

I've just come to the conclusion that most people on MN are actually not very pleasant.

I wouldn't say most but certainly a significant minority.

My maternal grandparents was very wealthy and upper middle class, however, in the war they had to give up their life of privilege and muck in with everyone else. My grannie in particular made lifelong friends of people she would never have met had it not been for WW11.

I've had illness and disability all my life and have had some of the sweetest more beautiful carers this world has to offer who have all been working class.

Ok, I've never had to worry about food on the table or paying the gas bill but I know I'm blessed, very blessed.

What annoys me the most is the so called social justice warriors who if confronted by anyone from the working class would turn on their Jimmy Choo'd heel and run like hell into their gated community home. They laugh at the plebs and stick their stuck up noses in the air yet half of them of in hock up to their eyeballs and all you see is pretence and show.

I couldn't give a monkey's what people call their children, where they live, how they decorate their home, what they drive. It's not my business but to see them sneer makes my 'don't suffer fools gladly' attitude come to the fore.

Go and live our lives as best we can, you never know what tomorrow will bring. My husband died young and I would rather have been a pauper and had him longer than as I am and lost him when I did. I'm not middle class just not that bothered about what others have/live and won't stamp on people who are struggling or who like/have to purchase 'tat' to make a home.

*Tat, what a condescending word.
