The most middle-class first-world problems...

[dowie]

It’s funny. These threads tend to lead to middle class humblebragging and oneupmanship. If you’re really posh, you’re sitting in a messy, mismatched room, watching a cheap telly.

They probs don't watch much TV (she's one of the busiest Royals IIRC, or was pre-Covid), mismatched (and old/inherited) furniture is pretty standard for really posh/old money types, they don't need to flex by having the latest BMW/Merc on the drive of their new build Barrett home (via PCP of course), brand new leather corner sofa (0% credit in the DFS sale), live laugh love sign on the wall + some "art" they just grabbed during a trip to Ikea...

Tales of corner sofa woes incoming...

I bought a house and it came with a corner sofa.

I can't find the fabled Dynamite Marmite in my area despite being in the capital city of the United Kingdom. FFS

online supermarket shopping doesn't offer the deli counter range, so alternative cheese selection is limited to just the Finest range...

Not me personally but the many grumbling they cannot get the latest graphics cards at RRP price and instead have to resort to previous gen cards and make do lower fps or no RTX.

A personal one. WFH means I now shower at lunch time. This in turn means I do not get enough time to watch Stargate SG1 episodes which are a full hour. Disgraceful

I bought a house and because it came with a corner sofa.

Fixed that for you.

I've noticed that I need to do some weeding around my pool again, which I never enjoy. It's also a little drizzly here in Provence today. It was full sun and blue skies yesterday, so my mood isn't what it could be.

I think that post puts you in the lead in this thread.

Does that make you... “salty”...?

There is some cloud obscuring our view of the beach and downtown LA this morning, it also caused the winter weather to dip below 18c today. This was particularly vexing as we just sold the much loved 2019 Mazda MX5 to make room for the new Tesla arriving in a few weeks.

almost every reply is just pointing out their ability to buy things or that they don't buy the cheapest version of something

I had to arrange for documents to be signed. Since I couldn't go into the office to print them, I ordered myself a printer at 9pm Wednesday night this week and it arrived 4pm Thursday.

Exactly middle class has got nothing to do with money.

Middle class is along the lines of having dinner with the councillor to discuss town plans or annoyed my child is at home due to public schools being locked down

Father brown has now finished on BBC so my 1:45 slot is now filled with some random rubbish. I'll have to do some work at this rate!

 

[wonko]

My hard drives are causing an annoying resonance/buzz from my PC case, and I can't pin it down

Very true I've also mentioned this, working class here, they seem to have lowered the requirements to be middle class these days

I found out my local council weren't using artisinal Cornish rock salt. Very disappointed with them...
