Feeling in need of a good discussion thread, so...what are you snobby about?

AmnesiaCustard, 25 June, 2012 at 10:40 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 142

I know, it might get people's backs up so lets all be adult about it, but...

I am snobby about...

Toddlers running round with dummies in their mouths

Council estates - don't think I could ever live on one

Naff boy bands (eg Wanted, JLS) That's not proper music!

Sweetie buffets at weddings. I'm not six years old.

    I'm snobby about:

    - Plates not being wash properly
    - parent's who can't control their children in public areas
    - ETA - Buses (thanks Kharv, completely forgot about my horrendous journey on one the other day)

    I also agree with AC on the Toddlers and Boy Bands, and PP with leggings! They are just footless tights and should be worn under a skirt or shorts. Not on their own.

    I totally agree with the leggings as trousers and boy bands, can I add Justin Bieber?

    I'm snobby about:

    -Bread (can't stand the white plastic stuff)

    -Really obvious fake tan

    -People who give their kids ridiculous names (don't want to be specific in case I offend, but hopefully I'm safe mentioning- 'Bubbles' ? Why?)

    I may have to come back to this later, I'm sure there's loads more ?

    - Babies with earrings

    - People fighting to get free things and just the general attitude "free stuff" and a scrum insues. ie at my work I brought in baking I heard one remark "free cake" as they dived in where I'd put it down, ripping of foil while I went to the car to get other stuff. To me that is a really scummy attitute. It's not "free" cake, I have spent money and time making that for you as gesture. I certainly won't be bothering again!

    - Cheap make up. I understand that not everyone can afford the high end stuff, and I don't think badly of people who use it. But I'm a snob for the good stuff, that's my personal choice!

    I'm often told by my friends I'm a snob, so I'm sure there are many more I can't think of!

    I'd never get a council house - not enough points, and happily I own my own house (outright) so here's hoping things never get that bad!! *sigh* It's actually because I don't like the style of building.

    Vick to be honest I wasn't going to post because it's hard to not offend anyone. My parents were brought up on a council estate so when I seen that I was a bit like oh really... anyway I dont judge anyone, my best friend loves her pints, I just mean that I wouldn't choose to drink out of a pint personally.

    Coffee - I can only drink real coffee, not instant. When I go round to somebody's house, even though I'd far prefer a coffee, I always ask for tea because I don't know whether they'll give me instant coffee!

    I am also snobby about council estates despite spending my childhood on one; from the age of 4 until 23. My dad still lives in the same council house I grew up in.

    I admit to being a snob, but I also wear leggings (under long tops and dresses though, not as trousers!) and also drink pints! I know this may be seen as not lady like but I don't care.

    Also falling on hard times doesn't automatically mean you'd be able to live on a Council estate - the houses are in such high demand and the system of allocation can be a minefield and very unfair. You can be on the list for years and get nowhere, even if you do require one. A person (such as AC) falling on 'hard times' would have very little chance of getting a council house.

    I'm the opposite of this. I can only drink instant. I'll happily drink starbucks/costa etc but homemade coffee from a cafetiere (sp?) always tastes too strong to me.

    Reading through these i've seen some more things to add to what i'm snobbish about!

    ATB - I'm a snob for make up too.
    Knees - I can't drink the real coffee. My little brother bought me a cafetiere and some real coffee for christmas. i don't know if i'm maybe just not making it right or what, but it never tastes nice. Smells amazing though! For me, i have to have branded coffee. I can't drink cheap coffee like the store braned stuff. It tastes vile!

    People dropping litter - the man in the car infront of me this morning dropped a used tissue out of his window. How DISGUSTING, people who spit, people who swear loudly infront of children, cheap loo paper - it has to be Andrex quilted for me!! people who live off the state with no intention of working EVER. I could go on!!!!!!!!!

    Loo roll - I can't BEAR the cheap stuff. I have a friend who buys it from the 99p store and it just falls apart. I'd rather spend £9 on 12 rolls of Andrex or whatever and have it last ages, than spend 99p on 4 rolls and have them disappear between your fingers!

    Eggs - always buy proper free range, cannot stand the thought of caged.

    I don't think I'm especially snobby about much. OH was horrified at the weekend when one of his ushers declared he would never ever buy supermarket value stuff!

    Leggings as trousers (when you don't have the figure for it - or as I saw at the weekend, when they are see through and more like tights!!) I love leggings but always make sure my bum is covered!

    Fake uggs especially when people walk on the sides of them.

    Underwear.

    Underwear is exactly what it says on the tin, underwear not sticking out of your trousers or visible bra's on show. Coloured bra white top,. Bra band and straps sticking out the back of a dress, get the right bra for the right item of clothing.

    I am snobby about:

    People who claim benefits - not people who are actually entitled to them, for example someone who has been made redundant and claims job seekers is entirely within their rights, but someone who never has any intention of working and claims all the benefits under the sun.

    Buses - I don't mind the principle of travelling by bus, but the buses near me are infested with chavs.

    Chavs. This includes families with loads of kids who are running amok through the supermarket while the parents scream at them.

    Women who smoke when pregnant/smoke over a baby in a buggy.

    People who don't speak properly - for example, "I didn't do nuffin!"

    Makeup/skincare products, mainly because I have sensitive skin.

    I am a snob, it would seem.

    Cheap looking housing (not limited to council!)... hi-rise flats, pre-fabs, uncharacteristic boxes... They can be amazing on the inside but I just don't like how they look on the outside.

    My mum is worse... she is a total snob... on my hen, we all stayed in the Travelodge, she stayed round the corner in the Hilton!

    She is also a brand snob...

    My extended family always tell me and my sister we are snobs (Not in a nasty way), but I think that is because we have more expensive tastes than them and are happy to spend our money on more expensive things which they think are a waste of money. Don't get me wrong, I shop on the high street as much as anyone, but rightly or wrongly I would never shop in some of the places that my dad's sisters do, and I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for, so clothes bought in places like Store21 are generally never going to last as long as something bought in somewhere like John Lewis.

    I am a snob about:

    Babies drinking tea out of bottles and those stripy plastic buggies

    Fake Uggs that have collapsed at the side

    Bad Fake tan

    Cheap gold jewellery (like rings that say MUM on them)

    Cheap shoes and handbags

    Buses

    People who have never worked but have no medical reason not to, never have any intention of working, yet pop out children for fun, get a massive house paid for by the government and earn more money in benefits than I do working full time and contributing to society !

    Spitting

    As others have said I am sure there is more !!

    I think the worst snob i have ever met is my MIL. It is hillarious at the extent of her snobbery and just makes her look foolish rather than knowledgeable. Her wine snobbery (as we all know ?) is rediculous as she is not an expert in anyway. Together with the coffee issues she has and the quality of eiderdown im flabbergasted ?

    My mum just likes certain things, won't have coffee at mine as it isn't filter (has been known to bring some in her handbag). Will rather buy something from John Lewis than anywhere else...

    pretty much all of these, littering being my main one, there is NO NEED!

    One to add is girls with really bad extensions that you can see a mile off, especially when their real hair is really short and their rat tail comes down to their bum. yuk.

    I am partial to a pair of leggins but only thick ones and with long tops. My lady garden is never on show.

    Pretty much everything mentioned, apart from council estates and pint glasses.

    I grew up on council estates, and had to live on one until I could aford to privately rent. Shoddy to look at, but stopped me being homeless, so can't be snobby about it.

    I drink my wine out of pint glasses, saves me having to keep re-filling a wine glass. ?

    I'm also snobby about bad tattoos. If you're having a part of your body inked, at least do some research into your artist, and save yourself from having a cr@ppy tattoo that looks like a 5 yr old has done it with their felt tip pens.
