Do give us a 'frinstance' 2shoe

3WiseMumsies · 18/10/2010 11:05

"Cos". Oh dear, how common.

Don't the snobs have as much right to post here as anyone else then?

See, I just take each thread as it comes and either read, post or hide as the mood takes me. I don't really notice the ratio of snobby posts to non-snobby posts.

If there are lots, you can share some examples, 2shoe.

like what missus?

One person's 'snobby' is another person's RL - just want to know what's winding you up?

Pushmeinthepool · 18/10/2010 11:08

I haven't noticed any snobbishness TBH.

dichotomy · 18/10/2010 11:08

are you being snobby about snobs? Grin

Tortington · 18/10/2010 11:08

a thinking that some days we just find our own level ...i just posted on a thread about a mad bitch who ruins xmas, and another about a drunkard husband.

all ver, jezza kyle

2shoeprintsintheblood · 18/10/2010 11:09

mumofthreesweeties · 18/10/2010 11:10

yabu, I am not a snob and even if I was so what? Are you a snob then OP since you registered on 'snobsnet'

PirateScaredyCat · 18/10/2010 11:11

i think we should just call it nobsnet and be done.

i for one am a nobber.

mumofthreesweeties · 18/10/2010 11:11

have you ever been on the relationships section or legal?

OooeeeoooeeeoooeeEthel · 18/10/2010 11:12

I am a nobber too.

OooeeeoooeeeoooeeEthel · 18/10/2010 11:13

Maybe I am a snobby nobber

PirateScaredyCat · 18/10/2010 11:17

oh i have been the nob of nobs lately. or is it knob?

ZombiePandaEatsEis · 18/10/2010 11:17

i think that there is quite an even mix of the 'snobs' and us normal folkSmile the same as there is ALOT of people who cant see a lighthearted thread for its funniness and go on about the serious aspects of EVERYTHING and equally there are a vast amount of wonderful, funny quirky MNers...thats what i love about MNSmile i get to mix with people from all walks of lifeSmile

madonnawhore · 18/10/2010 11:21

Lol, HellMouthCustardo, one of those threads you mention is mine and I agree it is all very Jezza Kyle. The thing is, if you met my family IRL you would think they were 'posh'.

Just goes to show, nobody's perfect so nobody has a right to judge.

DeadPoncy · 18/10/2010 11:29

"i get to mix with people from all walks of life"

I got the Hmm treatment when I said that on a thread the other day! Apparently, I sounded a bit Lady Muckety-Muck graciously consorting with the peasants.

Fear of snobbery is corrosive!

Theincrediblesulk1 · 18/10/2010 11:41

Don't know about snobs, but there are a large amount of whingers :)

Me normally being one of them.

discobeaver · 18/10/2010 11:41

Was it the thread about the woman who was pissed off her cleaner made herself a cup of tea?
That was the very first post I ever read on here, but subsequent ones have been more sane.

ZombiePandaEatsEis · 18/10/2010 11:43

its not snobby to acknowledge that everyone is different with different backgrounds and vastly differing home lives...i would seriously object to being called a snob...

Theincrediblesulk1 · 18/10/2010 11:45

My best friends nan used to say " I am not a snob, i am just better than every one else!"

Honest to god she actually meant it too

CupcakesHay · 18/10/2010 11:47

Personally, i just ignore posts I don't like. I just use mumsnet to find out info... although it is fun to have a nose into people's lives.

but i always find mumsnet seems to have huge cross section of people using it... or is that just my opinion?
