I bet the OP feels that enjoying oneself on a Friday or Saturday night is also common. Personally I try to get at least four hours of wakefulness on "slumber Saturday" as it's known in my house but don't always succeed.

Or at any other one given time, come to think of it.

The sun tan, natural one was seen as common. I was a bit confused about that as I saw the orange tans as common. In the old days, only laboures that worked outside had tans so the well to do kept out of the sun

Personally I see the following as common

Smelling

Wearing a hoodie with hoddie up even when its sunny and warm/hot

On your mobile for long periods, chatting loudly on public transport, street, in queues.

Having one of those scary dogs.

Not clearing up your dog mess.

Driving a messed up Corsa with dark blacked out windows with a massive exhaust.

Swearing all the time

Smoking.

Orange tans and big earings.

Tight clothing, especially leggings with short top and massive rear.

Wearing a track suit

A mass of tattoos.

Sleeping until after 09-00hrs (unless you shift work)

Boot sales

Holidays to Ibeta , Teheerife, Corfu, etc - sorry can't spell the names as never been.

Haivng to have the latest mobile phone when you can ill afford it.

Jonny must have his presents because it's "Chirstmas," Birthday," etc when they can ill afford the presents.

Home stinks of cigs, animals, just smells.

There are more but I will leave it to you

I would also add: terrible spelling and punctuation when talking about people being 'common'; for example, showing the poor communication skills despised in others and then repeating them (and more) in subsequent responses.

Being too lazy (despite getting up before 9am) to research common spellings like Ibiza, Tenerife etc. The correct spellings are easily available using Google.

That is all! (For now!)

LOL! Fantastic response. Those all-in-one Orange jumpsuits just look SOOO 'common', don't they? Even if you didn't know how to spell it, you would Google it though, wouldn't you? Better than showing ignorance publicly. How common!

They say ignorance is bliss...so i don't know why Kate isn't delirious with happiness.

Again, a great retort! She may well be rolling in the aisles with mirth..! She hasn't listed laughing as being a 'common' trait, although I don't think her musings were an exhaustive list!

By the sounds of it, if she laughed she would have to book herself a months worth of therapy to get over it.

How very dare you.

She'd ask her butler to book it for her.

And her parents to pay for it.
