To realise I've become a horrible snob.

[DangerousBeanz]

I've always been really down to earth. Working class roots, shop at Aldi, drive a Kia. I've never ever considered myself better than anyone else ever.

But today it happened. Went into Tesco to grab a loaf and saw my friend at the check out. She had 2 multi packs of pot noodle as part of her shopping.
I inwardly judged.
She's a lovely amazing person. But still this horrid inner snob judged.
I know iabu. I need a proper telling off. I'm a cow.

Nothing wrong with a pot noodle now and again, the beef and tomato one is my guilty pleasure when I'm home alone and truly can't be arsed cooking.

2 multi packs? maybe she was going camping?

snobby? You can't buy class though........

I buy them for my husband. I'd never eat one though. Perhaps she is the same?

I don't really understand why pot noodles made you feel superior. All sorts of people eat pot noodles-from what you've said of your back ground most of them will be posher than you 😭

Beef and tomato is proper working class. Chicken and mushroom is acceptable.

I buy them as Vegan junk food.

I really don't get this.

You can't "eat" class.

I feed my kids pot noodles. They love them

i sent ds1 out to the corner shop yesterday to buy us both one he had chicken and mushroom i had curry

Maybe she has a night out coming up and she's planning for the hangover

I inwardly judged

What did you judge though exactly? What was your thought process?

Was she buying the mutipack while gleefully shouting 'there kids - no cooking for me for the next week'?

Or just the very fact she'd bought them at all?

Chicken and mushroom is beyond skanky, it's all about the Bombay bad boy, sweet and sour is number two.

Hmmm beef pot noodle with a side helping of buttered white bread. Sends me back to my student days

Is this for real?

This place has really gone to the dogs.

What is this obsession with food being linked to class. It's an epidemic on here.

Maybe she is on medication or pregnant and she can't face other food. Maybe they're a treat for a teen or to take camping. I was on tablets for a while that made me really nauseous. If I hadn't drank full sugar coke and eaten McDonalds chips almost exclusively I would have fainted regularly.

I often buy them for DP. He is a builder and often has no way to make hot food in winter. A flask is all he needs for a pot noodle. Those porridge pots are good too.

Your unreasonability depends on whether they were Bombay Bad Boys or not.

My kids take them to school, so there😜

If I'm away from home I will have a can of lager and a curry PN rather than go out to eat. Apart from a cheap date, WTF does that make me? I have never considered it from this point of view before I always recycle the pot

No one is too posh for a pot noodle :D

Y'never know , they could be for a food bank or something? Would that make it less judgmental if they were buying them for charity ?

I went out with someone once who was an ex public schoolboy. His parents had an actual country estate. He bloody loved a pot noodle.

I buy 2 multi packs of bombay badboys a week....

It was a wtf are you doing feeding your kids that crap sort of judging.

She's not going camping.
4x chicken and mushroom
4x curry.

I said nothing to her. She's lovely.
