This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

I don't want to sleep with common people like you
Okay- small rant.

It's not that I think people with Croydon Facelifts wearing Kappa tracksuits and the like are lesser people just for their appearance. However, they do happen to be the same people who spit on the street, scream and talk sooo loudly about every detail of their lives (I reaaaally don't need to hear about your sexual escapades or alternatively whose face you're going to smash in).

And bringing a new life into the world just so they can qualify for a council house and benefits- aghhhhhh.

With regards to pretension, this season I am hating those guys and girls in their skinny jeans and oversized sunglasses all striving to be "alternative" wittering on about "random" things like pirates- oh FUCK OFF. A boyfriend of one of my friends wore a bumbag on a recent night out and received the exact reaction he was hoping for. "Oh WOW he's wearing a BUMBAG- that's do craaazy and mental". Most of the photos of that night are centered around said bumbag.
You're not alternative, your clothes are from H&M- mass production = common, sorry.

Sorry that was a fairly irrelevant rant.

Oh well, back to work!

(Edit: hate is strong, they're decent enough people but I wish they would just calm down and not try so hard... The End)

Wittering about "random" things.
A pet hate of mine - anyone who says, "Ooh, that was bit random" in a conversation.

I agree!
I blame the likes of Russell Brand.

Girls in Skinny jeans, ugg boots, and pashminas harping on about crap, "Isn't that, like, sooo random"
