I have copies of those in beautiful old frames in the kitchen.

Lots of stuff now as I've gotten older.
Interior design, clothing, Xmas presents, jewellery.

Oh and bed sheets. Must be linen or pure cotton. I can't sleep on polyester, the feel of it sets my teeth on edge! I don't know how people think a £10 double duvet set from a supermarket can be decent quality.

Tattoos. I fear I'm turning into my mother, because like her, I think they're "common".

Dirty toilets. Including in peoples houses. If it's so bad I actually look, for the cleaning stuff and clean it!

marvelousmadmadammim · 26/12/2020 13:19

People smoking around babies and children. It's so selfish and vulgar

You're welcome to come and visit my house whenever you'd like Grin

Not sure if this is snobby or something else but I can’t stand TVs on walls. And amusement arcades. And that horrible geometric frog tape style of decorating.

Shower gel
Candles
Toilet roll
Mayonnaise
Jewellery - very few but quality (don't think crazy diamond style, but well made)
Make-up - I only own foundation, powder, concealer, mascara, eyebrow powder & two eyeshadow palettes + about 10 lipsticks/lipglosses, I only use the same over and over and replace it as one finishes

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 26/12/2020 13:54

Designer clothes, shoes & bags with obvious labels or logos. Costing ££££.
I immediately assume that people who buy/covet them are thick as pig shit & have no taste.

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 26/12/2020 13:55

Inverted snobbery.

Can’t use any other granules than Bisto

Make your own. I cant use any granules.

19crimes · 26/12/2020 13:55

Holidays, olive oil, meat, cheese, mayonnaise and baked beans.

But then I'm also not at all snobby about things that a lot of people have definite preferences for, such as wine, coffee and chocolate.

Recently, DP has revealed himself to be a total postcode snob, which goes against his very relaxed nature. We live very close to a national park and houses are becoming increasingly expensive in the town in which we currently live, but we are looking to move. He refuses to entertain the idea of a number of towns/villages no more than 10-15 minutes away, where you can buy a 4 bed detached for up to £80,000 less, and I know it's because they're in a different postcode. Winds me right up!

Agreed. People who can’t think for themselves what to like so they buy what they’re told is worth the most.
BarryWhiteIsMyBrother · 26/12/2020 14:02

Also: tattoos and brand knock offs. By all means buy a specific style/shape of bag e.g. the Louis Vuitton speedy, but not a copy one with a lookalike pattern and/or fake logos.

This thread is so vulgar! Just awful. Have a word with yourselves, I’m embarrassed for you

They probably don't. It's just what they can afford.
formerbabe · 26/12/2020 14:19

Oh and I can understand people having a preference for certain things but don't say, oh I couldn't possibly sleep on a polyester sheet or wear a non cashmere jumper...I can guarantee that if you lost everything tomorrow or were homeless or living in a refugee camp, you'd be able to.

KarlKennedysDurianFruit · 26/12/2020 14:25

Honestly a lot of things:
Things my gran would call fur coat and no knickers, eg leasing a fancy pants car rather than having a cheap run around, when you're up to your eyes in credit card debt and then putting your children in the cheapest possible car seats you can find and forward facing as early as possible because you think it's cool.
Really awful children's names, especially made up/misspelled.
Not making things from scratch (you'll never find a jar of cooking sauce in my house).
Children's toys and clothing, I don't want my child plastered in brand names or with plasticised cartoon characters all over them like a walking billboard.
Good manners at the table, I don't want to see what you're chewing, it's not ok to just start wolfing down before everyone else is seated and ready to eat, similarly it's not ok to finish and just leave the table if others are still eating.
People who don't teach their children to say please and thank you.
Not having any books in the house.
Designer dogs.
Tattooed make up, lip filler, eyelashes so long you can barely lift them.
Young children with electronic devices.
Probably lots of other things too.
(I live in Essex)

I actually think this thread is vile particularly the comment about the bedsheets wondering why people think a ten quid set from the supermarket is good quality.

News flash....I and lots of others buy thing's all the time that we know aren't the best quality, but we buy them because it's what we can afford. I'm sure people buying bedsheets for a tenner think it's preferable to sleeping on a bare mattress.

My main snobbery lies with how people hold their cutlery and pronounce the letter H.
