Stuck Up Snobs...

I have always been my self a bit more polite sometimes when I am talking to the vicar but really and truthfully I cannot be anything but myself.There are plenty around where I live snobs that is ,they find out what you have got and where your husband works then decide if you are good enough to mix with.I don't bother with people like that it is their loss that are so choosey personally unless someone does something bad to me then I am at ease with anyone and enjoy a laugh,you are right these snobs miss out on so much but that is up to them.xxx

yes, i have known alot of snobs but u know what i decided? they put their drawers on just like i do everyday, one leg at the time. don't have time for people like that.

I have encountered some snobs but never got close to them because I really don't want any more negative energy in my life than I have to have. I feel sorry for those people because they are just showing how pathetic they are. Money changes people and many times it's not for the better. There's nothing wrong with money itself, it's just a tool. It's when people love the money that the trouble starts!

Hi twoey68, I know someone who is just the opposite, she turned into a snob, yes she was a single mum when I met her with two kids, I helped a a lot with her children and they even called me their second mum, my hubby and helped her a lot as well then she met this man, who became my hubby's best mate and the four of us were always together then four years later, they divorced and I stuck by her all through her heartbreak and then she met a good man, I am very pleased, he is such a careing loving man and took to her chaildren and treat them like his own and in turn they loved him back, it just perfect, they bought a big house and she turned into a snob couln't afford the big house downsized it and them bought another house and she still is a snob, her houseis like a show house that you feel uncomfortable jus sitting on her sofa and my house always has been the same but when she comes round to my house I'm saying to her, "sorry for the mess" what? I shouln't be saying that. Don't get me wrong, I love her to bits but she does go over the top. Tamara

I haven't had to deal with snobs since highschool, I don't really come across them much in my grown up life, because if they are snobby I won't bother with them. I try to keep people who piss me off from having any part in my real life at all.

I really dislike people that are snobby. No one person is better than the other. I like to treat everyone as equals or how i want to be treated. I dealt with alot of snobs in high school & they knew exactly how i felt. Sometimes some of my friends were that way & people actually thought i was stuck up until i talked to them. The people you run with give you a reputation. One that i didnt want. I am no longer friends with any of them.

I know exactly the kind of people you are talking about. When I was in high school I went to school with a girl that probably wore a size 0 jean and she thought she was all that because she was so thin. (I have been heavy most of my life until I had gastric bypass nearly three years ago.) Anyway because of that she treated me and others as though we didn't even exist. A few years after graduating from high school I was in a beauty school having my hair done. I noticed this one particular girl kept looking at me real strange. She finally came over and asked if I knew who she was. Of course I didn't recognize her. Well it was this girl only she was very heavy. She embarrassingly admitted she had put on some weight since getting married, having kids, etc. as we all do. I was nice to her but I also thought of how much she missed out on in high school by being mean to those of us that could have been very good friends to her, especially in a time such as this. You could tell she wasn't happy with the way she was looking or feeling. But now maybe she realized how it felt to be the person on the receiving end of hatefulness.

Think I got rid of snobs in my life along time ago I sure hope so. and I to read alot and my hubby said it was amazing how I remebered every thing I read even if I couldnt really remeber where I read it. lol DOnt think I am a snob just cause I remeber things that some cant.

I hold myself up to a high standard, but do not consider myself a snob. I will always eat at a table, not at a counter, but I figure that well you all have to make yourself better then you were, and there are some who have not reached that point. Then again I do not like the idea that we all have to go down to a lower level so that those who do not people better then themselves will feel better. Oh and money should not change anyone. I have never known a snob that got what she deserved and I would feel sorry if she did because that would mean that one should stay at the same class one was born into and that would be tragic. I would think the snob would be less snobbish and get to be more compassionate.

I tend to avoid snobs at all cost. But I have learned that most snobs are the way that they are because they do not feel good about themselves. A lot of times it can be traced back to their childhood. Or it could be something that happened while married or in a long-term relationship. I find that people like this have a hard time being honest with themselves so they don't get help. They feel that any way that they behave is justified because of what happened to them.

Yes I know of a couple of this type of person personally. One is my sister in law and two cousins are this way. The cousins have money and they will for sure let you know they do and they can do things that others can't. It is pretty sad when one of them says the first thing they notice about others is their clothes??? My sister in law, I never dreamed she would be that way. They used to never have things when their kids were young, then they started doing really well and she did turn into a snob in her own way. I also have a cousin who is very very well off, very well known to those who know car makers and he also used to race. He is the type who would go out of their way to take care of others needs before his own. He had to have a heart transplant years ago so now he uses his name and money to help children who need the same thing done and who can't afford it. Need more people like them. As for me, no I have never been called a snob.

I guess I could have been accused of being an intellectual snob a few times, ie a bit intolerant of what I perceive as stupid or ignorant. But as far as money or the latest fashion or whatever, definitely not. In general I could care less what anybody makes or what they wear as long as I like them. A snob brought back to earth? Well getting back to my first comment, I do have a friend over on Yuwie who has absolutely terrible grammar and spelling. But once I got to know her, I discovered that she's really a very smart woman. So clearly my criteria for determining intelligence was flawed...

I have never been thought of as a snob. I am not a snob. I have never known anyone who thinks they are better than me,that I am aware of.AS for snobs I don't think they are any better than I am.I am just as good as they are as far as I am concerned.

I am sure I have met a few sobs in my lifetime, but no one comes to mind right now.

Unfortunately I have had to deal with a few in my lifetime, and it is Sad. There are people that tend to think just because they have a better job, more $$, or even a better home, that they are better than others. I think most of them either forget where they came from, or never had to worry about things so they actually do not think about others. It is Sad, and hopefully they are not the ones who loose out in the end, or have things happen to them to wake them up when it is too late.

People used to I was a snob - which is so far from the truth it isn't funny. Just because I spoke nicely and read a lot they made out I thought I was something I didn't - I just did what came naturally. I do know some people who are like those you described and they make me laugh and feel sorry for them at the same time - as tough having more money makes someone a better person! xxx

There are a few that I could definitely able to do without.. I certainly like your discussion here even though I discover it a month late. I think that snobs or stuck-up are just forgetting the basic fundamental of life. I think they do know but failing to remember that when they die, it's not their wealth that they are going to bring. I don't know why some people just can't seem to kiss the ground that they walk on. There was this one that I know whom is high-maintenance and would only buy expensive and branded things. But suddenly due to an unfortunate circumstance, the person became in total debt all of a sudden and had to downgrade in terms of everything. But no one sort of blurted out to that person that it was just what he/she deserves. We were all pretty humble and quiet about it and not wanting to add 'salt to injury'. I think unless people curb off their mindset that they are better off than another, this stuck-up and snobbish trend will always be around. I am not perfect, but I ask those people that care for me to always keep a tab on me, lest I get too snobbish. Then they should pin-point me to get back on track.

Good discussion! I've known my share of snobs. I'm sure we all have. I hope I haven't been thought of as a snob but I guess it is possible. I don't think myself better than anyone else. I have had some friends who did and I didn't really mind so much. The thing that irritates me more is shady people. I can't stand people who are always trying to manipulate others and shield themselves from the truth.

When I was younger I was considered a snob. I moved to this new country when I married and it was not that I htought that I was better than anyone else - it was because I was shy anbd I was in a different culture and di not know the customs of this country. so I was always accused of being a snob but when people got to know me they chnaged their view. I cannot be bothered with genuine snobs. They are to be pitied.

I think everyone has known a snob or two.. I certainly have known them.. I think that they are fake people.. I personally could never be friends with snobs.. there behavior really bothers me.. WHat makes there life better than mine? I dont think I have ever been considered a snob before..
