Are you a snob?

[MissAva]

I took it twice...my name added 18%???? Really it is not that bad....

 

[valeria101]

Big time!

... but you folks know it already, I hope.

 

[ladykemma]

I am an historical reenactor. I am also a garb snob, garb snark. i just don''t understand how people can be in the SCA for years and dress the way they do.

SCA - society for creative anachronism

 

[Madam Bijoux]

You name it, I''m a snob about it. But my top 3 are

Jewelry
Stores
Handbags

 

[Starset]

language and grammar

people using words like "irregardless," misspelling "too," or speaking double-negative phrases like "I didn't have nothing to do with it."

eta: 78%

 

[jcrow]

dang 74%

 

[Lorelei]

I scored a 78%...

 

[Angela1977]

Ditto the language and grammar. There''s just no excuse for not having a grasp of your primary language. Grrrr...

I guess I''m pretty snobby in general....70% on the test.

That sucks.

 

[littlelysser]

70% snob here.

Actually, Oprah did a pretty interesting bit on class in America a few days back...

Anyone see it?

I am definitely class conscious, although I try not to let it impact the people I befriend, etc.

 

[ephemery1]

Ooooh fun thread, Meep!! I''d say I''m a food snob too except there are times I''m just as happy with a cheeseburger from the local diner as I would be with a Capital Grille steak... well, ok, not many times.

Other than that, I''m a snob about psychology... it drives me crazy when people assume they are experts just because they''ve taken the classes or done some reading. I think I''ve come to the conclusion that good counseling is an artform more than a learn-able skill.

 

[Mara]

as long as it's a good cheeseburger, ephemery!!!

i also am a snob about using correct spelling and grammar. i don't always have it right (ALOT tee hee)...but continued bad grammar or misspellings drive me nutso. my mom is a teacher so i started learning that young!

 

[SarFarSuperstar]

Language definitely- I have a B.A. in English, I better know my ABCs. Books, too, I absolutely refuse to read something just because it made the bestseller list- the American public cannot be trusted to know a good book all the time.

I would be a food snob if I made more money, can''t wait until my lean years are over! Whole Foods here I come!

35% on the snob test. I''m clearly on the wrong website.

tawn

can you come over and clean my house? its a mess.

We recently went to visit a childhood friend of my husband''s...and their house is so nasty that we stayed in a hotel! I have gone over and helped friend''s clean up and get organized! It''s a sickness I tell ya!

My husband''s friends tease him and tell him that he lives with Martha Stewart...but younger and cuter!

ETA: 59% because I refused to acknowledge the existence of the Hilton sisters!

yes...how true!!

 

[Dancing Fire]

okay ladies....stop making fun of my bad grammer

english is my 2nd language. let see you guys learn chinese, so i can have a good laugh. hee,he.

 

[ChargerGrrl]

Food
Wine
Customer service

65%

 

[Kaleigh]

I want excellent service in Restaurants. It doesn''t have to be a fancy restaurant, just give me good service. And I want my food hot when I get it. Not luke warm or god forbid cold. Ughhh

 

[Scooba]

Shoes- which is stupid because they are so easy to ruin and mose designer shoes are SO uncomfortable
Clothes- not so much on what you paid for them but how you wear them, like do they fit, match, etc.
Vodka- I will not drink cheap vodka, and I don't mean to be a snob about it, i just think it's digusting and makes you sick with all the left over crap in it

 

[sk8rjen]

Grammar, mostly the double-negatives. Drives me nuts!

I''m a total snob about anything figure-skating related. I sounds more like Dick Button than Peggy Fleming when I watch (but I guess I''d better know what the heck I''m talking about since it''s how I make a living) oh, yah, did I mention I''m a snob about my job? You will not find a better coach anywhere (please pick up on sarcastic nature)

anything competitive whatsoever. I''m just a big fat snob about it all.

I scored a 41% btw

[Lora]

Language. Proper grammar is a must for me. Not that I don''t make errors, (you have to love spell check) but we had a member here recently that had the worst grammar I''ve ever read! She stopped posting after she was called on to post specs of her rings. From her very first post I didn''t believe a word she said, and it was because of her language. It got to where I couldn''t read her posts anymore because it was like nails on a chalkboard.

 

[Starset]

DF - I don''t think I''ve ever noticed you posting about a guy''s perposal story and axing about the karets of the engagment ring

 

[Rod]

Hello my name is Rod and I'm a Snob...................

I'm a food snob
I'm a fitness snob
I'm a watches snob
I'm a car snob
I'm a diamond snob
I'm a homeowner snob
I'm a furniture snob
I'm an accessories snob
I'm a shopping snob (can you say Nordstrom?
I'm a shoe's snob
I'm a vacation snob
I'm a book snob
I'm a magazine snob
I'm a clothes snob
I'm a people snob
I'm a car snob
I'm a loyal friend snob

But I'm not a snot (er snob) to impress other people. Honest. I have nice things to make me happy. Period. I don't really care what anyone thinks of what I have, but I feel that if I'm going to work hard (believe me I do) and earn a nice living (believe me I do), then I'm going to live to be a healthy old man, who drives a great car, lives in a terrific home, furnished with fantastic stuff, wear a well cut sparkly diamond, eat great food, travel to exciting places, have a small circle of caring friends and enjoy the fruits of my labor.

Wow......thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I feel ever so much better

ha,ha...you can''t fool me anymore b/c my english teacher Jenn taught me (A LOT) is two words.

 

[jaysonsmom]

I''m a food snob, but not in the way most people are. I refuse to buy generic labels of pasta, cereal etc. I just don''t feel like the quality is the same

I''m a linen snob. I have to have sheets with the highest thread-count possible

I''m a children snob. I think mine are the best, and no one else''s kids can top mine

like nails on a chalkboard.

Noticed. Agree. Silent head-screaming about that my own self.

 

[Small]

I''m particular about customer service, about my checking account balancing to the penny (that''s the accountant in me lol), clothes for my kids, and landscaping.

I scored 70% on that test too.

 

[KittenKat]

Also a diamond snob here...

Car snob (for myself only)
Horse snob
Shoe snob
Food snob
Cleanliness snob

I am also a TV snob. But, that's only due to my hubby being a TV writer. I've learned to spot flaws, writing errors etc in TV Shows. I told him, he's ruined me forever

I got a 61% on that snob test! Hah.

ETA:
<---- Kitty snob!! I mean, look at THAT face!!

 

[Lorelei]

I had a kitty just like him Kitten

I suppose I am a cat snob, being rather addicted to the Persian/ Himalayan breed

 

[snuga]

35% snob here!

 

[littlelysser]

Oh, and I am a total

Shoe snob - I love my prada shoes. Love ''em.

Bag snob - I am not proud of this fact. I knew I had reached a dangerous point when I began to think of myself as too "good" for Coach bags.

Book snob - Try to compensate for my unsnobbery re: television.

However, I am the anti:

tv snob - Reality TV, the crappier the better baby!

clothes snob - spending $$ on the shoes and the bags means clothes from gap, BR, whatever, look better!

food snob - I love great food...but I think it can be found at a deli or a diner just as easily as a 5 star place...

How are you an antisnob?

Aw, those baby-blues eye make me melt. He''s a ham! And he knows how cute he is...

He''s actually not a Persian/Himalayan - he''s a Ragdoll!
