Swarley Posted yesterday at 02:19 Share Posted yesterday at 02:19 I scored 5, does that make me common because I wanna live like common people, I wanna do whatever common people do. Presumably the tit that's devised this list is some sort of failed Tory/Reform MP candidate who now hosts a show on GB News? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After hours/not on call? Phone #2 goes off. No accidentally seeing the ambiguous "report to my office first thing on Monday" texts/emails. This is a whole other discussion - people that can't leave a phone ringing or switch off notifications. I have one phone and have never answered a work call when I don't want to.

hk blues Posted yesterday at 08:01 Share Posted yesterday at 08:01 Tie pin and Adidas trainers for me. I haven't worn a tie in 10 years though so am unsure if I should have included the tie pin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted yesterday at 08:49 Share Posted yesterday at 08:49 The faux middle class snobbery absolutely reeking out this thread. Sad to see the common man dragged through the dirt like this. If you weren't born into a position of social rank you are a commoner and no amount of looking down your nose at others will change that. Funny number of people saying "this guy's a p***k" then going through the list desperately trying to prove they aren't common. See you all in the street for a kebab and a gin! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted yesterday at 09:04 Share Posted yesterday at 09:04 Some of those are very, very weird indeed. Mr Hanson should be on some sort of list. Anyway, 5/16. Some things I think are common: Grey houses Plastic grass Crushed velvet Leasing cars Lip fillers Turkey teeth Keypad tones Treating A&E visits as a family day out "Live laugh love" and similar shite Being a 'top fan' on a Facebook page Dubai Not having your phone on silent Putting your entire life on Instagram Matching Christmas pyjamas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted yesterday at 09:09 Share Posted yesterday at 09:09 1 - Tie clips - no. 2 - Liquid soap - Yes however I prefer bars as it's less plastic / more environmentally friendly. 3 - Eating on the street - Yes. I'll eat where I f*****g want. 4 - Holding a knife like a pen - No. 5 - Mounted televisions - Don't currently have but will do soon. Nothing wrong with this. 6 - Applying make-up in public - No however I would do if I was a lassie and have no issues with lassies doing so. 7 - Gin and tonic - Yes. I'm feeling supersonic. 8 - Prosecco in lieu of champagne - Yes. I rarely buy either anyway. 9 Eating on the Tube - Yes. See 3. 10 - Personalised number plates - NO. The number one thing on the list I agree with. w**k. 11 - Zoopla and Rightmove - No but would use if I had to. 12 - Hot tubs - No but no issues with folk having them. 13 - The Great British Bake Off - No. Pile of shite. 14 - Trainers, particularly Adidas - No. Don't currently own. Would I buy again if I really like them, yes. 15 - Buying portraits - No. Would I buy for my own house? Unlikely. 16 - Salted caramel - No. I would eat but it's not my flavour of choice. I guess my main thoughts on this are that the guy who came up with this list must be one of the dullest people on earth to care so much about such trivial matters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManBearPig Posted yesterday at 09:20 Share Posted yesterday at 09:20 A lot of Tory types outing themselves in this thread by instantly agreeing that common = bad. I bet you all look like the marzipan faced c**t that came up with this shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiffRaff Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Only two for me, liquid soap and Adidas Trainers. I have just realised that since I was 14 I have always had at least one pair of Adidas Sambas. Other signs of "being common" are Buying a car using PCP finance Having way too much jewellery on show Applauding when the plane lands Wearing leisurewear but never doing any exercise Reading The Sun or Daily Record and believe everything that is written is the gospel truth Not voting, because "What's the point" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of upper middle class people who do things that I find rather tacky and common. And I'm a scruffy herbert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itzdrk Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Personalised registration plate Live laugh love signage in the house Owning an iPhone Eating from McDonald's Wearing a Gilet 'icon' baseball cap 'crushed velvet' Having a reptile as a pet 'Castore' 'Louis Vuitton' I thought I would type out some that I feel are missing from the list but on reflection, I have probably just described Ryan Kent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Are you a colossal bell end? Would you make up a list like this to be judgmental of others? 1 - Tie clips 2 - Liquid soap 3 - Eating on the street 4 - Holding a knife like a pen 5 - Mounted televsions 6 - Applying make-up in public 7 - Gin and tonic 8 - Prosecco in lieu of champagne 9 Eating on the Tube 10 - Personalised number plates 11 - Zoopla and Rightmove 12 - Hot tubs 13 - The Great British Bake Off 14 - Trainers, particularly Adidas 15 - Buying portraits 16 - Salted caramel If so you’re clearly a stuck up, self entitled, bell end of the very highest order, and should be ashamed of yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) I'm glad I'm not the first to point out that the etiquette expert is a f**king bellend. As for my common score. 1 - Tie clips - No. Never wear a tie either. 2 - Liquid soap - No 3 - Eating on the street - Yes. 4 - Holding a knife like a pen - No 5 - Mounted televisions - No but my daughter is common. 6 - Applying make-up in public - No. Not even in private. Honest. 7 - Gin and tonic - No. 8 - Prosecco in lieu of champagne - No but champagne is more bogging than prosecco. I don't drink either. 9 Eating on the Tube - No. 10 - Personalised number plates - No. About the only thing I agree with the bellend on. 11 - Zoopla and Rightmove - No. 12 - Hot tubs - No but I have had holidays in lodges with a hot tub. Does that count as 1/2 a point? 13 - The Great British Bake Off - No. 14 - Trainers, particularly Adidas - Yes 15 - Buying portraits - No. Why would I want a reminder of my ugly face. f**k that. 16 - Salted caramel - No, although I'd imagine the guy is an expert on salted biscuits. 2 1/2 points on the common scale. I'm a posh c**t me. (I do live in a posh area but I thought I was just a social climber. Seems I've found my correct station in life) Edited 2 hours ago by Suspect Device 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazzyStar Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I really hate William Hanson. He’s somehow became the acceptable face of classism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
