What are you a snob about?

[Heavenly44]

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

1,000 thread minimum count bed sheet. I buy off BrandAlley so not too expensive. They are the only ones who survive DH's sandpaper feet.

Anything I've worked damned hard to pay for.

So I'm snobby about;

Food. Especially bread, butter, meat and salt.
Gin (especially the liqueurs - Sloe, Damson and homemade with what is gathered from the garden or hedgerows is acceptable)
Mixers - no slimline, no Schweppes, no supermarket sold in plastic bottles.
Crockery - no garish patterns
Cups - must be bone china/porcelain and mostly white outside, pure white inside.
Cutlery - must have a nice weight and no plastic handles. Definitely not stored in a hanging rack on the kitchen worktop next to a tree of chipped mugs.
Bedlinen. I'm gradually trying to improve the quality we have, but it's expensive. I'm not a fan of nylon or the stuff that pretends to be special when it's just 200TC with a higher price attached to it for the brand. I love my wool duvet, feather pillows (with protectors) and silk pillowcase, though.
Socks. I spend a significant amount on socks that don't wear transparent before splitting (and causing awful blisters in the process). I like being able to potentially repair them if a hole appears and I really, really dislike novelty socks.
Pet food. Not because I like having to pay to order in bulk, but because one cat is gluten intolerant (blood streaked liquid faeces I have to clean off the floor and the poor bloody cat is possibly the worst job of all) and the other cat just smells like something has crawled up his backside if he has standard food. So whilst I appreciate the information that Whiskas pouches are on special offer at the supermarket, Hell would freeze over before I willingly allowed them to have it (ie, I'd have to be broke and starving/unable to give them fresh meat and fish in preference to the pouched rubbish).
Supermarkets. Yes, I prefer Waitrose. The aisles are wider, the displays are less in your face, the lighting is cooler and doesn't cause migraines. And plenty of people refuse to go there because they think it's expensive, so that reduces the numbers in there at any given time.

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

No.

Grammar. Particularly, the use of apostrophes.

Using the wrong knife to cut fish

Good manners
Names
Bread
Drinking anything other than water or wine with a meal (not including a sandwich - one may have a cup of tea with a sandwich )
Good grammar

Using the wrong knife to cut fish

When you’re preparing it, you mean?

Hear hear.

People who put your instead of you’re or there instead of their.

I cannot watch Hallmark-type films and I'm very snobbish about them. They set my teeth on edge with their twee manipulation, schmaltzy music, pat endings and cardboard cut-out characters. My husband will actually choose to watch them, my cue to remember some urgent mumsnetting I have to do.

Apart from my dislikes above, I am not really bothered.

Sheets, fine -- if clean. Likewise towels. I have stayed in some very dodgy establishments, with more than two people per room. That was what I could afford then. But my preferences have lifted in the 30 years in between. Nowadays I too prefer fresh coffee and china cups. But a good coffee from earthenware is not going to compromise a potential friendship.

Must admit, I recently found myself trapped in a conversation with a woman who repeatedly said hospickle rather than hospital. It made me murderous.

Cars!!
Our 4x4, nothing posh, 10yrs old just died a car death...

But just think it's is older than the one which died and its still moving!

Can’t use any other granules than Bisto. Supermarket ones are awful.

Knorr stock cubes

I'm snobby about gravy, it has yo be home made and not from granules😂😂

I must use the correct glass for each drink. They just doesn't taste the same otherwise. Red wine, white wine, gin, liqueurs, lager, stout, whiskey all have very specific glasses in my house and I'd go without rather than use the wrong glass!

Also TVs mounted above the mantelpiece. So tacky! (Runs and hides)

The glass affects how the liquid hits the tongue, some need to be on a certain set of taste buds so the right glass helps.

Real coffee. I'd rather go without than drink instant.
Names. Any name like Kayden, Jayden, Brayden are awful and chavvy.
People who give their young children fizzy drinks ALL the time. Just no.

Ooh that's interesting - here's me thinking I was just a fussy bugger!

Yes, grammar!

Eggs. I love a Clarence court egg. So much tastier than supermarket eggs.

Ah, I was wondering when the “chavvy” word would be wheeled out. It usually does on threads like this.

Who mentioned being snobbish about the underclass? I hope they were joking. How crass and ignorant.

To add:
Manners
Brand obsession, generic or high end.
