The snobbery towards tradesmen really grinds my goat. They are actually the new middle class. Have you ever met a poor plumber or electrician? I haven’t. Most of the men in my family are in trade so this really ducks me off actually.
Ridiculous. Not to mention that said jobs are usually recession proof as someone will always need a plumber or electrician
Totally agree with you. They love to look down their noses at them though, as though working at a desk makes them above ‘trade’. They’re man hating snobs.
It's their default answer to everything, whether there's a post about the husband leaving the toilet seat up or whether he is heading on a night out with friends
This is one of my favourite tradesmen stories from MN from a thread where they all tried to outdo themselves over incidents where a tradesman dared to talk to the lady of the house instead of tugging their forelock. I think we can safely change the end line to ‘there is no way this encounter happened’.
Lmaooooooooooo
I would LOVE to see that door, why on earth would you have a brass plaque with your job title on it in your own home
Brilliant! They do love a good bull story that backs up the constant victim mentality don't they 
My SIL is a snobby witch who looks down her nose at 'tradesmen'. When she was growing up her Dad was a postman and her mother worked on a checkout on Tesco, so get down off your high house you snotty cow.
Does anyone else get the impression that these Mumsnet keyboard warriors wouldn't say boo to a goose in real life
That’s exactly it, you just know they have so much pent up anger at the world and wouldn’t say tit to anyone, but on MN they give it large and act like they are so assertive and don’t take bull.Does anyone else get the impression that these Mumsnet keyboard warriors wouldn't say boo to a goose in real life
I don't really pay attention to usernames on the but you just know the same person who will confidently spout out word for word the assertive text that another poster should send their SIL regarding some petty family issue will the next day be asking for advice on what to say to her next door neighbour who's parking 2 wheels on her drive
Agreed. If I had my time again I'd have gone into a trade like plumbing then after a few years set up my own business. They make a bomb and they're their own boss
Funny how lots of them look down at anyone that likes video games, but they enjoy creating a fake persona on message boards to gloat to strangers as a hobby?
Not just video games, but also social media. Whenever anyone makes a post about someone on IG or FB, they’ll all rush in to tell you how they don’t ‘do’ social media as though it makes them superior.
Wtf do they think Mumsnet is?! Spending 16 hours a day on that doesn’t make you any better than someone who knows which influencer is which on IG.
You always see posters who work in the NHS refer to themselves as a ‘Health Care Professionals’ or ‘HCP’. So you’re a doctor or a nurse then? I’ve literally never heard anyone used that term in real life and I know a lot of nurses, it’s so pretentious 
My SIL looks down on tradesmen too. Forgetting she’s married to one.
I think it’s a useful catch-all phrase for anyone who works in a medical or hospital environment tbh! Doesn’t have to just be doctors or nurses, could be midwives, physios, paramedics, pharmacists etc.You always see posters who work in the NHS refer to themselves as a ‘Health Care Professionals’ or ‘HCP’.

Obviously I mean HORSE!
