Many things strike me as common.
Mainly lack of manners- does it hurt to say "please" and "thank you"? Can you chew with your lips together so that I don't hear you smacking and slurping? Do you really need to fart loudly around me?

For that matter, do you need to always make so much noise with everything you do? I'm glad that you're having fun with your friends, but I'm sure they can hear you quite clearly from three feet away without having to scream. You really don't need to crank your car stereo to 13 just so I know that you're so cool that you listen to gangsta rap, even though you're a skinny white kid who's never been downtown. And girls, I really don't need to see your muffin top or your thong or your ass antlers. Seriously, the thong looks a lot like butcher's twine holding a pork roast together.

I sense a series of rants coming on...

Even if they are the real deal, it just means you spent even more money on looking like every other girl at university. And they make most people walk like a retarded 3 year old.

ASDA
I don't know what it is, but I always feel a bit dirty when I come out of an ASDA.

But then again, I get the same feeling when I have a wank in the entrance hall of any of the supermarkets.

My eldest daughter
...thinks I am common.

She's always correcting me when I say things like "Bu uer" (butter with the 't's dropped).

She says, "No daddy, it's buTTer!"

Also, apparently she thinks that paper plates are common. She went to a 'party' the other week where the food for the kids was served on paper plates, she came home and said, "I don't think they had much money daddy, they had PAPER plates"

Thinking about it, this might have been a candidate for the last QOTW.

My mother has odd views about things being common.
She has long held the view that eating in the streets is common, and seems to have extended that to consider that eating things with your hands is common too.

These days, so keen is she to avoid being seen conveying food to her mouth with her hands that she has now taken to eating sandwiches with a knife and fork.

I can't decide whether it's some sort of mental illness or if her teeth are starting to go.
