Are you snobby about anything?

Robsweezie

Have you any snobbish tendencies about any aspect of life and society? it could be anything from where you get your clothes, to where you go to college. I try and stay away from looking down my nose because of someones choices,personal tastes and ways of expressing themselves that I don't necessarily agree with, but sure **** it, we all judge don't we? human nature.

Personal hygiene. No excuse for being manky.

Absolutely not, One has a manservant for such mundane drivel as possessing snobbish tendencies.

If I go to someone's house and they give me cutlery or a glass that isn't spotless I'm not eating or drinking anything they give me


If someone's under the age of around 40/50 and overweight I can't respect them, however if someone is overweight loses that weight and turns their life around I won't respect anyone as much as I respect them for that.

I look down on idiots who have nothing better to do than waste time on the internet into the wee small hours. This leads to self-loathing and heavy drinking.

I crossed the street to avoid a beggar and then crossed back again, just to not walk past her.
Does that count.

That's not snobby that's just called being a prick.

Having standards, judging those who need to be judged, and being fussy are NOT forms of snobbiness.

Snobbiness is when you look down on someone because they have less than you. It has no rationale and is never acceptable.

I'm not sure if it could be described as snobbishness but I'm totally disinterested by anything to do with celebrity 'culture' and immediately switch off if people start talking about it.

I can't be arsed but surely it's time to post a definition.

Do you look down on men who drink mule piss lagers like Carlsberg or Heineken? A bit like how a neat whiskey drinker wouldn't view a vodka and red bull man in his league.

I consider certain jobs below me for my age and net worth, and background. Yet I see others my own age doing them. Does that count too ?

I don't have much respect for people who spend their lives on welfare and never bother looking for work or trying to develop a skill....

I agree, unless it's due to illness.

If someone can't tell the difference between 'there' and 'their', I will assume (usually quite rightly) that they are an idiot.

I look down on people that look down on others. Im better than that!

res ipsa

I can be empathetic & snobby in the same sentence. The beauty of the human brain. Competition & compassion has made us the dominant species.

Disrespecting people for their appearance is being a bit of a prick, presuming to judge a character by someones size is somewhat foolish. You don't know what's going on in someone's life just from looking at them, whether they're under huge psychological pressure and you've just caught them during a terrible year, have an injury or illness that prevents them exercising,have just had a baby or they're battling like hell against a thyroid condition. Proudly announcing you disregard all overweight people as unworthy of your basic respect reflects only on you there I'm afraid.

Or maybe had a predictive text malfunction?

I don't think that's a good test.

One from my family that I've been reminded of from another thread is that my mother would only let us address her as Mum. I noticed from an early age mixing in school that others said Mam or Mammy.

She also made sure we spoke properly and never used slang. I have one vivid childhood memory of walking with her through town and a schoolfriend shouted across the street Well DEFTLEFTHAND, I shouted back Well kid. She smacked me across the back of the head and said don't say well and don't speak in that accent.

The overwhelming majority of fatties have no excuse for being fat other than laziness and stuffing their pig faces.

Grammar, spelling, poor taste in music/tv/film. Anyone who wears a tracksuit outside of the gym ever. Irish people who can't pronounce the 'th' sound. Anyone who has ever used 'unreal' as an adjective or uses 'ye' as a primitive form of you plural.

I look down on people who ONLY dine-out at Chinese restaurants.
They know what they like and won't experiment.

I also look down on people who live in semi-detached houses

You can't say their idiots, just because there idiosyncratic in they're use of those words.

Most Irish people, except Northern Irish people, can't really pronounce the th. since that's true of dublins snobbier areas, i am always amused to find people upset about it on the Internet.

Far from decrying ye, everybody should use it.

I don't understand why anyone gets annoyed at people having trouble with the 'th' sound. It's just a feature of our accent. Most English people don't pronounce the letter 'r' very well but I bet they don't look down on each other for it.

Also, ye is a useful way to distinguish singular from plural. Something standard English is sorely lacking.

I informed her I wasn't a fan of peasant food and she'd have to try harder.

Does that make me a snob?

Yours maybe. I always pronounce it properly.

'Ye' sounds as bad as nails on a chalkboard to my ears.

Exactly. If we were to go through all the letters English people don't pronounce we'd be here all day.

Think you should be worrying more what your wife thinks of you after that, and less what internet folk with their black n white opinions think.

I am a Taxi snob.
If I am getting one from the Taxi rank, or hailing one down, I wont get in the 15 year old Carolla. I will only get in a 2013 or newer model.
It is the same price for the journey, so why bother getting in a clapped out banger when you can travel in a bit of comfort...especially if it is a long trip (airport to home for eg)?
