^People who have walls / huge bookshelves full of books but never read. A class signifier^.

This sort of silly remark.
People who have walls full of books buy them because they like books and they keep them on shelves because it as an ideal way to store them.
Nothing to do with class.

You missed out totally the 2nd part of my post.

but never read

Just insulation. I don't keep millions of books and I'm an English teacher.

I know someone who's an expert in the art of humble bragging and it's very irritating to see her posts!

People who relate how caring they are and hint that everyone should behave like them leaving you guilty (ps NOT viewed on Gransnet)

“Humble bragging”
Of the “we were so poor….” variety!

Being a bossy know-it-all. Forcing one's opinion.

What type of virtue signalling really gets up your nose?

I'm starting because I'm irritable this morning!
