Are you a snob about anything?

[NuclearNed]

for me 2 things come to mind:

I'm a food snob. A foodie. I don't mind to pay top dollar for fancy food, and yes I can tell the difference. In a survival situation, I'd rather dig for worms than eat McDonalds.

When it comes to hiking & climbing, I'm better than you. When I see you winded on the trail, I might be compassionate on the outside but on the inside I'm mocking your lack of fitness. Did you actually buy that backpack at WalMart?

Hate me if you will.

coffee, beer and spirits would probably be what most say about me

I'm somewhat of a food snob. My wife and I eat out at a lot of nice places, although not as much since we had our kid. But on vacations our dinners are typically $100+ every night so we enjoy good meals.

That said, I still love me some Taco Bell and other garbage food, just because it tastes good and I'm in the mood for it sometimes. But that doesn't mean I'd say a 7-11 taquito is better than the lobster ravioli I had up in Cape Code a few weeks ago.

EDIT:

I guess I'm also somewhat of a hotel snob. When going on vacations I prefer to stay at nicer places even if they cost more money. I won't spend outrageous prices though, but I'd much rather spend $300/night on a nice place than $100 on a decent place. This place was like $100 or so more per night than other places and a lot was cause of the view from our balcony. Completely worth it to us.

Pretty much everything. I like the finer things in life.

I'm a snob about value. It's weird, but I will mock you relentlessly if you paid full price for something or bought something that claims to be better than it actually is.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Coffer snob, check

Food snob, not so much, gluten free tho....

Tech snob about somethings....more about functionality instead of aesthetics.

Edit, someone mentioned hotel snob, hell yea lol

 

[brianmanahan]

not really. i grew up in a family that lived off of about 30$k a year and i try to limit my expenses to 20-25$k a year. so while i do have a little room for fun stuff, there's not a lot of leeway there for extravagant spending. still, that is enough for one or two vacations a year and a little bit of electronics and games to play with.

but if i ever get a net worth of 2.5$M, i might go crazy and buy a 50$k piano.

So... um... you are more of a asshole then a snob... but whatever makes you feel better...

I maybe a snob about PCs and LTs, when people buy cheap crap and then complaint about it being slow and buggy and start blaming Windows... that's my snob maybe. I always insist on good hardware.

I'm an Expedia/Hotwire snob. I will never under any circumstanced book under 4.5* and prefer 5*. Locally or short trips ill don't care but if I'm somewhere for a week I want a real nice place to stay.

 

[clamum]

Nothing coming to mind right now. There's some things I like to enjoy the quality of over cheaper alternatives, but I don't think there's anything I could be considered a snob about. It kinda makes sense because I think snobs are usually annoying.

I was struggling to figure out what I'm snobbish against. Then while reading this thread, I realized I am snobbish against snobs who look down on people for living their life the way they want to.

I'm a coffee snob...and I blame it on when I stopped putting cream and sugar into it and drink it black. Now I can taste the real coffee and can't help it.

I used to be a hiking boot snob but they all crap now so I just try to buy what fits (which is somewhat difficult because they all crap now).

 

[repoman0]

Music. Modern music is crap compared to classical.

I still begrudgingly listen to some of it.

A worthwhile expense

How common.

 

[Harrod]

Clothing is about the only thing I am a snob about, and it's more of a don't buy me stuff that you think I would like to wear, because there is a good chance it will end up at goodwill.

EVGA. That's all I buy

Coffee. Grinding my own beans and making a fresh cup every single morning will do this to you.
