does anyone find this funny?

gonnaplayrugby · 13-02-2010 12:36am #1

when you see someone that has an appearence that looks working class yet they act and behave in a middle/upper class way?

cian1500ww · 13-02-2010 12:39am

I HATE people who use classes to describe people, that crap ended decades ago...

Edit: Actually, never mind. I don't know what that meant. I'm pissed.

amcalester · 13-02-2010 12:42am

Did someone turn up to rugby practice wearing Dunnes shoes instead of the prerequisate Dubes?

Cant have that, now can we Lorcan?

L.Jenkins · 13-02-2010 12:43am

I find it mildly entertaining!!! When I see it, all that spring to mind is face palm. http://http://techbuddha.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/double-facepalm.jpg

gonnaplayrugby · 13-02-2010 12:43am

guys when i say middle/upper class i don't mean to suggest that they act decent and proper but they speak with a middle class accent and go to 'rock. theres a guy in my grinds who looks like this.

Pompey Magnus · 13-02-2010 12:44am

Not particularly funny tbh.

Hank_Jones · 13-02-2010 12:44am

im just middle class...not a snob.

Ollchailin · 13-02-2010 12:46am

No, I don't find it funny, I find it irritating.

I'm aware of private schools and despite the fact that their parents are clearly well off enough to afford private education, many students go around dressed like little chavs with that horrible "alright alright calm down" walk, using the most deplorable language and have questionable hygiene (shudder). It's like they're trying to rebel against being well off or something.

One thing's for sure and that is that money is irrelevant- you can't buy real class.

Lets have a more PC title for the classes

People that don't have much money class
People that do ok class
People that wear A&F class

Sorry, this must have been what you meant in your original post about finding these kind of things funny.

You're right, your observations are flippin' hilarious.

Oh Daddy, look Daddy look! A house stuck to another one! haha, thats ridiculous isn't it Daddy?!

Karl Hungus · 13-02-2010 1:02am

I think it's hilarious that people think Ireland really has any kind of true upper crust, when really, even the most well off people are just a generation or two removed from muck savages anyway. You're not some kind of aristocracy, you're muck savages with money and fake American accents.

What about the people that don't really know anything about class and do a lot of their shopping on the internet?

Oooo and Penneys!
Love Penneys!

Nervous Wreck · 13-02-2010 1:04am

In my experience working with the public, the people who hold themselves to be of the highest class generally have the least.

I always say that if you lose the run of yourself in Ireland and think that you're better than everyone else and that things are beneath you then you need a good dose of cop on.

We live in a tiny island on the periphery of Europe. Billions of people don't even know we exist. Be proud of the things you do, but don't ever believe that you're something more than you are.

Particularly if all you happen to be is a product of rich parents- you didn't do anything to achieve that.

The only thing close to being wrong with that post is that "well off" isn't hyphenated.

Maybe English classes would be a good idea.

Lesson one: Capitalisation.

They don't learn that sort of thing in fancy private schools.

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 13-02-2010 1:32am

Couldn't give a **** if you are rich or poor
If you are white or purple with pink spots
If you have 5 masters or can't read

At the end of the day a wanker is just a wanker

Buceph · 13-02-2010 1:36am

I think it's funny that the op thinks having money means you belong to a certain class. You can have all the class you want and still be working class. Look at the union leaders, driving fancy cars and ripping off thousands of people who have faith in them, yet they still claim to be working class.

If you've ever been to a house party in the posher parts of Dublin you'll find that half the people are drinking Dutch. The other half will be drinking Bav.

People with high earnings, huge loans, bullsh1t and delusions think that there's a class structure, but then there are normal people who don't.

Class only exists for those who think they are better. Such people have no class
