to think people who use the words "so common" are just obnoxious?

Just curious. Maybe it's the American in me but every time I read that someone finds something "so common" I think, "you obnoxious twat."

Custy! I was sure you'd chime in. What are you doing awake? Don't answer, I'm going to bed.

erm... i think that someone who puts their elbows on the table, talks with their mouths full and laughs like a banshee has really bad table manners is inconsiderate to the people around them.

I would be more put out to see this behaviour in Harrods as you are paying extra to hopefully be with better mannered people. If I went to a trucker's greasy spoon this behaviour would still irritate me but I would concede that you get what you pay for...... oh, am I a snob?

Do people really still use that phrase? It's so 1970's.

purepurple · 16/04/2009 07:11

I know, cornsilk, it's just so common
