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 blame the parents...
White kids dressing like little latino pimps and pretending to be gangsta rappers that only eat junk food that think WWE is real.
Schoolgirls dressing like whores and chewing gum wearing jewellry from Argos.
Any overweight people wearing sports leisurewear.
Watching football on TV in the pub.
Eating whilst shopping or any other public activity.
Using soap and shampoo in the swimming pool showers.
Saying all wine tastes the same when you've never spent more than a fiver on a bottle in your whole life.
Abusing public transport facilities.
Thinking you have a right to smoke despite being in a hospital.
Not bothering to reprimand your offspring or publicly humiliating them, either way it is bad parenting.
Smoking whilst driving, especially with children in the vehicle.
Not using coasters to protect real wooden furniture (if you have any).
Duvet covers that never get changed or washed.
Continuing conversations whilst using the lavatory.
Not washing your hands.
Asking for tomato sauce or vinegar in restaurants.
Frequenting the local pie shop.
Wearing socks with sandals.
Ever worn a snake belt.
Owned a snorkel parka.
Having a takeaway every weekend.
Eating chips in the street.
Brewing your own beer.
Breaking wind in public.
Belching in public.
Wiping your nose on your hand.
Scratching your pubic region (and sniffing your fingers)
Applying make-up whilst travelling.
Talking loudly on your mobile amongst strangers.
Thinking pictures on readymeal food packaging looks appetising.
Not going to the dentist.
Buying the cheapest forms of alcohol.
Asking the waiter the price of every item on the menu because you can't really afford to dine there.
Not knowing how to eat in public.
Thinking that all foreigners don't understand English while you abuse them in full earshot.
Wearing baseball caps.
The list could go on...

I agree with most of those
however some people like myself are allergic to chlorine and therefore need to use shampoo and soap in the swimming pool shower as by the time they get home are red raw and itching like crazy. If they're doing it before they get in, however, I think I would just leave.
