To think I'm not common and working class

[hswarbrick]

Someone in a group chat just called me "the most working class person I know😂, you're really into all this common stuff😗" in response to me being excited about both the football and the royal wedding this year. I hope the emoji's have pasted, they make it woorse imo.

Not sure if I should just ignore or say something

I mean Prince William was at the wedding and is excited about the football and he's not exactly the definition of common

You so right Valenta needs to get haircut and get a job. Mutters jnto Daily Express

Some great replies thanks so much!

Does this person work for a living, in which case she's 'working class' too.

I must admit I hate football - but that applies to all sport, don't watch tennis, cricket, rugby or the olympics either - and avoid everything connected with royalty and their weddings, but these things are popular with a huge percentage of the population so yes, the love of them is common to a lot of people.

To be fair the snobby woman didn't actually call the OP 'common'. She said OP was into all that common stuff.

She (snobby woman) sounds a bit silly and pretentious, if anything. I bet she has all sorts of 'common' decorative type things in her house and thinks she's awfully posh because of them.

My MIL once said I was working class. It didn't end well for her.

"That doesn't sound like a compliment so I'm not sure why you said it."

Just start calling her Mrs Bucket - Bouquet

I may be common but at least I have manners!

Silently delete her. She doesn't deserve a rise from you.

And"common" and "working class" are human and the majority, it's like saint someone is average. Yes, most people are average by definition.

Well many MNetters think loving football and the Royal Family is common. They just phrase it in different ways. At least this woman has been direct and honest in her approach...

She's just regretting not having followed the football now that IT'S COMING HOME.

Just don't invest anything more in the friendship and smile and nod when you absolutely have to see her - she sounds like an insecure dick.

Just reply with this meme & "Calm down Hyacinth"

Does she have non-English family members (Welsh / Scottish / [Northern] Irish), or further afield)? That could explain her lack of enthusiasm for the England team.

Other than that, has she ever lived abroad? People who’ve lived elsewhere tend to view the UK differently when they come back.

Pop this on your Facebook status!

I was taught as a child, as prep school no less, that using the word 'common' instantly marked you out as being the common one and therefore was to be avoided at all costs.

Why couldnt you just reply "Bitch, please!"

I'm common and working class, and proud to be so. Can't stand rude stuck up people who think they're a cut above the rest of us.
My response would be I am and I'm glad I am. I'd rather be that than anything else

By that reckoning, Prince William attended a England playing/football themed party and was excited by the royal wedding...he too must be frightfully common.
You are in good company OP 😂
I would take the advice of @TwitterQueen1, “Did you mean to be so rude?”

*an not a

That is extremely rude of that person.

My response would have been....Really, well at least I'm not mean and spiteful!

Why couldnt you just reply "Bitch, please!"

😂😂
YY - perfect response 🤣

Wow, that is horrendous.

Obviously this is not the classiest resonse but I'd be tempted to post ''what a lower middle class observation on your part''.

I think people of all classes like football and the royal wedding and the friend sounds like a snob, but be proud of being working class. I call myself working class because I am, and I’m not trying to be anything else
