What are you a snob about?

[Heavenly44]

I would say for me soda , can't buy the cheap versions of coke.

@buttonmoonb4tea
@FluffyHippo so you're basically saying anybody who does not have four degrees and a Phd is ignorant and not educated to a level you feel is sufficient for you to interact with. Am I correct?

No, you are not correct. Try again.

I would have said nothing but then I remembered what unreasonable rage I felt when dh bought the wrong vodka (although as a Pole he asserts his vodka choice is always the right one) this week, so, vodka. Please do not try and give me inferior alcohol products.

Hm...I'm not sure. After skim reading this thread for "inspiration":

I guess I'm snobby about clothes (especially jumpers. I hate polyblend. Not as nice, makes my hair static-y, I often feel overheated, they start smelling after a long walk. Just no!)

I also hate non-functional children's clothes. Less of an issue with boy's clothes but still. If it's scratchy or flimsy? Why buy it?

Perfume: I guess. I just know what I like. How is that snobby?

Good shoes. Absolutely refuse to walk around in badly made or uncomfortable shoes.

Hm... What else? 🤔 I honestly don't know.

Waitrose and Aldi use the same processors for many food products which just have a different label /sleeve put on them depending who is selling them- same product exactly.

Oh, yes. I worked in food factories over holidays for years (grew up in the Fens, don't know many of us who haven't)and most lines split into three or four just before packing, so the different shops labels could be applied to the exact same product.

Waitrose only

Have never set foot in a Spanish holiday resort and never intend to!

Unclean cars - I don’t care what make it is just keep it clean
Messy homes
Children with no manners
Swearing in public
Shouting in public
“Trendy” names - Jaxon, Myla etc
Instant coffee
Cheap lino
Dirty shoes
Those huge gold chains that some people force upon their children

@DillonPanthersTexas

Also, I couldn’t drive an old wreck of a car... been there done it and it’s so embarrassing as well as uncomfortable

The funny thing is that about 90% of new cars on the road are on finance. I used to drive around in a 25 year old mercedes that I actually owned outright.

Yes exactly...I drive an old car but I own it...yeah lots of new cars on the road but miss a couple of payments and it won't be yours any more...

Anyway, I'm snobby when I see people in flash cars who live in poor accomodation...it just shows me they prioritise looking flash over having something of substance

@Katjolo I used to feel this way too until my disabled son got to the stage where he will only go out with his headphones and tablet as a distraction. He cannot cope with strangers, busy places & loud noises.

I appreciate not everyone who does this does so under the same circumstances as me but just providing an alternative view point.

@AvonCallingBarksdale

Anyone who says, holibibs, hubby, preggers. Anyone who can’t hold cutlery properly. Anyone who “booms” up their car to try and get a crappy old vw to sound like a Ferrari People who think a degree in travel from the university of the south west of whatever county is the same as an academic degree from Oxbridge/RG uni.

Are you someone who sells for Avon? It must be very fulfilling.

Coffee (local independent roaster's only)

Stupidity (education is irrelevant).

Some comments here are so nasty. Especially the one about vomiting at the thought of cheap shoes...maybe think before you post.

Have never set foot in a Spanish holiday resort and never intend to!

Oh. Same! I guess I am a snob about that...

I'm not keen on "pure" beach holidays either. So boring...

...roasters?

SP &G. Cannot help myself.

Some of these make me laugh

An upper class gin and tonic is gordons and supermarket own brand tonic with a labrador hair garnish

Beds, I genuinely can't sleep on bad mattresses or poly cotton sheets.
Musical instruments. I will compromise on most things but not sound quality.
Butter, President/Lurpak or Aldi's own are all acceptable, don't even mention 'spreads'.
Tomatoes.

Have never been to a beach resort, either. My idea of hell. However, if you close your mind to Majorca, for instance, because all you associate it with are resorts, then you are missing stunning scenery. No one forces people to lie on the beach.

Not the old urban myth, surely?!

No, I'm not familiar with beach resorts either.

But my little sister used to campaign for the "let's just go to the beach" - family holiday when we were little. Her campaigns were luckily never completely successful...

@JingsMahBucket I wasn't asking you

Neck Tattoos.

Baked beans - have to be Heinz. Nothing else is good enough.

Massive TVs on walls that take over an entire room and are on too loud.

People who continually write to instead of too and of instead of off.

People who put all their Christmas gifts on social media and are obsessed with designer gear.

Massive lips and too long nails.

Bright orange faces with massive false eyelashes.

People who drive in cars with their shite music blaring out. Similarly people incapable of talking quietly on phones in public.

Men walking round with their tops off at the merest hint of sunshine.

Men with massive chests and arms but always accompanied by bald heads and no neck, who live in the gym.

Kids with certain names, won't mention here as bound to offend.

@formerbabe

It's always a matter of choice.

It doesn't matter whether education is encouraged at home or not - it's encouraged in school and teachers love students with ability and interest, whatever their circumstances.

It's about the person themselves, whether they're lazy and willingly ignorant or whether they follow that natural curiosity that's the source of all great creativity and innovation

never read so much nonsense in my life.

That’s a sweeping statement and the absence of a capital N is utterly distressing.

From reading this I think lots of you would look down on me as I’ve taken my dc on lots of AI holidays (but we’ve been all over and seen some amazing places at an affordable price so I am pleased with my holidays rather than embarrassed by them!)
However I confess I am snobby about education, although I’d never admit that in real life!

And that horrible geometric frog tape style of decorating.

What on earth is that?

God I love my 15 year old wreck of a car (my friend gave it to me when they didn't need it any more)

But I'm in London and most of the time I get the bus 🤷‍♀️ (I love the public transport in London)
