Anyone else ever realise they're a snob???

curlzy

Ok,

So I was just in the Square in Tallaght. I was on a packed escalater and just ahead of me was a group of young fellas pushing and shoving, I was thinking "****ing skanger scumbags, messing on an escalator". It was only when we got to the top of the escalator that I realised what had happened; an elderly man's shopping bag had broken and he fell backwards, the young fellas caught him and held him up and when they got to the top, they retreived his hat, took all their own shopping outta their bags and put his in the bag, gave him the shopping and asked him if he wanted to go to McDonalds for a cup of sugary tea as he looked a bit shaken. I felt like a real snob for thinking they were scum just for wearing baseball caps and tracksuits when, in fact, they in all likelihood saved his life (he was very elderly and didn't look like a fall would have turned out well for him). So just wondering if any of you have seen things that made you realise you're a bit of a snob?

I understand that the mandatory punishment for that kind of assault is the amputation of both arms.

Your purple prose tweets posts are hardly the work of a wordsmith, despite the obvious effort for them to appear so.

Is that because you usually find them lying in the gutter vomiting their intestines into the drain?

Calibos

Had my Telescope in the front yard looking at the planet Saturn with the hall door open behind me. Two skanger heads appear over the gate asking what I am doing. I tell them and they say, "giz a look will ye". In my head I am thinking, "Ah bollix, WTF am I going to do now, these knacks are going to at best wreck my expensive telescope and at worst beat the ****e out of me and burgle the house. I made up some BS about closing the halldoor so that the dogs wouldn't come out and go for them not telling them that the three dogs were west highland terriors and a shihtsu and not Staffies or Rotties

Now these lads weren't some young lads in tracksuits that I mistook for skangers, they were proper skangers but they had a look, asked me loads of questions about the planets and stars and how the telescope worked and told me "tha was fookin deadly". Even offered me some gange as a thankyou when they were leaving.

I felt like a proper snobish bollix after they left.

I believe you made this story up to make a threadworthy point.

I think I might be a snob.
I imagine the Mods here have no life. That they are like the little fart of a security guard in Boots. You know, the one who hassles people just because hes in a position where he can. But really he is a pathetic little idiot, with nothing better to occupy him.

Wait, I know several of the mods from boards in person. One of them isnt like that.
OR maybe im just a mod snob. Thats it.

TeddyTedson

Where can i meet the mods?
Do they ever have meet and greets?

I am a snob but I wish this could change.

Be careful. They are everywhere. They may be sitting beside you at work
I work with one of them. They dont even know that we all read what they are wasting their time on all day when they should be working
Ive met a few at boards beers.
I even ended up sitting beside one in stephens green on a bench. We could tell they were a mod because they were talking about it to their friend.
Scary.

I'm a bit of a reverse snob sometimes. If I see some white, middle-class guy in an Abercrombie t-shirt I often think "wanker" before getting to know him.

I don't see this as being necessarily snobby, you were prejudging then and I think prejuding is a totally normal & sensible think to do though some people treat "prejudiced" like a dirty word.

In many instances I am prejudiced myself and consider it perfectly normal and sensible way to be. I offered help to several old men & old women during the snow who appearred to be having trouble crossing over piles of snow near the road, I am not ashamed for my presumptions that they may have needed help when some politely declined.

If I saw a 3 "gentlemen" in top hats & tails with monocles and one took a dump on the side of the road I would not go off ashamed thinking I am an "anti-snob" or something.
