» Tightwads

My nan
is very wealthy. She started a market research business about 15 years ago working with such brands as armani, hugo boss, radox, dove etc... She earns enough money to take around the world holidays, buy holiday homes next door to famous people, drive mercedes cars, go to the Ritz for scones and tea, etc. You get it.. But don't let that fool you! She's a total tight-arse. Okay, I'm not gonna lie, I've had a few skiing holidays out of her and she paid for a private education, which I'm very greatful for, but...
-She gave my little sister a cheque worth £5 for her birthday this year
-On a day out to Brighton as a nipper, she gave me and my sisters an allowance of £1.50. We couldn't even buy a stick of rock.
-For christmas last year, I got bought a make-up bag.. From superdrug.
-She thought €2 (yes, two Euros) was expensive for a box of Lindt Chocolates.
-And she still had the cheek to rinse her poor ex-husband out of EVERYTHING when they got a divorce.

The Mayor's Charity Event
When I was about 10, my grandmother and her husband were the mayor and mayoress of a couple of towns in Surrey. They hosted a charity event, (of which about 300 people turned up) where 50 or so brave men and women of all ages, abseiled down a huge building. One unfortunate old guy who was also extremely overweight, let out too much wire and was left hanging upside down, and everyone and everything just went silent. Just so happened that at that moment I needed to burp.. And I did. I swear to God it was like a nuclear bomb, never done such a cracker since. It quickly diverted everyone's attention to me instead of the man clinging on for his life, hanging upside down from the top of a building. It wasn't so cringeworthy for me, more for my nan and her bloke. I found it quite amusing to be honest.

Scon or scone?
The most obvious thing that distinguishes a posh person from a commoner... Whether they pronounce 'scone' like sCON or sCONE. (Just for the record, it's sCONE, you b3tards!)

Also, my little sister calls the computer room the 'office'. What the deuce?!

» Irrational Hatred

Bog roll and milk bottles
Having to 'un-do' a new bogroll. This makes me rage hardcore... It's so hard not to tear the fucking thing apart in a rage. Even though it seems to like tearing itself apart anyway. Either that, or the sheets go their separate ways, so then the 2-ply doesn't stick together properly and you're wiping your rusty brown eye with sandpaper-like bogroll.

I also hate opening new bottles of milk. That stupid lid you have to tear off always either:
-breaks. That little tab tears off so then you have to stab it open with your teeth (or knife, if you're well posh, like)
-if the tab doesn't tear off, the lid opening always splats you with a little bit of milk. I hate smelling like milk.
