Most people I've met seem to be a snob about one thing or another, be it food, clothes, movies, beer, etc...

So what's the thing in your life that you care enough about to be considered a snob?

Most things, actually. Not clothes, but pretty much everything else. For me, part of the enjoyment in consuming is in figuring out what you like and dislike about something and finding other things you like better based on that. And though it's not always the case, I do often find the best products are not necessarily the most expensive, though they're usually not the cheapest either.

Social graces, I guess. Since I've moved to the Netherlands I often find myself judging people for "doing it wrong" since my way of living in society is obviously the right one :p

It's a little weird but chili peppers. I've grown dozens of varieties from the humble Jalapeno to the mighty ghost pepper, Carolina Reaper, and Trinidad Scorpion. So like when a menu at a restaurant says something comes with "hot peppers" it annoys the crap out of me. That's like saying the meal comes with "meat" no explanation of what kind just "meat."

I'm really not a snob towards anything in general,but for some reason I like to snub unattractive women. I get a kick out of seeing a chick pissed off because she made a pass or a obvious sign she likes me,and then ignore her or show her I'm not interested in a more disrespectful way. I know it's kind of childish of me in that manner,but it doesn't matter it puts a satisfying smile on my face. If she is attractive to me,I take it as a compliment. I know GS users will probably trash me for saying such things,but I guess I am strange in my weird and quirky way.

@brimmul777: I think you'll find that enjoying feeling superior to others isn't that strange of a trait and most people have it in one form or another...whether it's a shitty trait to have, however, is another discussion ;)

Music. Used to by a lot of CDs but I've gotten so picky it's rare now. Will almost never touch anything from the Top 40 charts. Just a bunch of fresh faces doing the same shit as the last guy. I don't put people down for liking it, but sometimes I really really want to.

I listen to a wide variety of stuff, but my favorite genre is progressive metal. Classical music is probably the only thing more pretentious than that.

I am a beer snob. Haven't had a Bud, Coors, Miller or any of that other crap in about 15 years. Only thing I can think of that I turn my nose up to.

@heathen75:Used to be bit of a beer snob myself, but the craft scene just got way too damn expensive. Now I'm more of a snob of coffee. Everyone likes what they like, but I'm not afraid to say no thanks to coffee I know is bad.

Beer and video games, mostly beer though. In most scenarios I'll turn down most domestic lagers. It just isn't worth drinking it in 9/10 situations for me.

I got a good laugh from that.

I'm a snob towards drug addicts. I think they're weak and are a burden to society.

If anything, probably cars. If it's not a performance vehicle of some type, I pretty much hate it. The worst of the worst to me are Honda's, especially Honda CRVs, probably because there are SO MANY around here and they are almost always driven 10-15 mph under the speed limit.

Timings of certain things, such as when dinner is, when I get up in the mornings etc, I don't mind if it alters because of holidays, trips, going-away or special occasions but in general, I like it a certain time.

Same for me. And smokers. Someone I know wants to have kids but spends every weekend getting high along with drinking themselves in to oblivion. Good luck with that.

I just can't comprehend how someone can be so stupid to even start in the first place, but apparently that's my problem lol

I'm trying to think of something with little success. I'm pretty laid back though.

Just about the only thing I can think of is my disdain for politics. I love it here (in the US). Too bad I have to share it with knuckleheads from the left and right.

I do this as well. Especially if I've seen them acting arrogant towards other people. Women often tend to like me, even though I'm a gay man. I get told I'm handsome... or maybe it's because I'm gay I don't show interest towards women is what attracts them to me. But whatever, women tend to flirt with me a lot and if they are nice I'll flirt back. But if I've seen them behave bitchy towards other people, I'm gonna be.... well.. not so nice lol.

And another thing is that some women think they can 'turn me straight' or something. It's pretty weird, like I'm some kind of hard to win trophy. They try how far they can go. Well honey, it's not going to happen and your boobs do nothing for me. And then you have those women who instantly want me to be their 'gay best friend' even though they don't even know me, like I'm some popular fashion accessory. In a situation like that I usually make it pretty clear... If I let you hang out with me, you are MY *** hag, MY handbag, MY pet. Know your place breeder. It usually does the trick and scares them away. XD

Other than that I'm pretty nice. If you treat me nicely I'll be nice to you. If you treat me like some object, na-ah. Ain't gonna happen.

Stuff like Tracey Emin compared to traditional art I consider garbage.

I agree nothing compares to buttercream icing. My only problem is if I want it, I have to make it myself. Cheers!

I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to junk food. It's not often I eat out so when I do I stay away from the cheap restaurants like Mcdonalds.

Food, social graces and people's living spaces.

If I walk into someone's home and it looks like a rats nest, I automatically assume they're filthy scumbags who like to sleep in their own shit.

Wait, McDonalds is eating out? To me there's a huge difference between "Let's go out for dinner" and "F it, I don't want to cook tonight"

Maybe 'eating out' wasn't the phrase to use but even when I'm getting a casual bite to eat, I'll usually go with the more 'high end' option instead of going for something like a Big Mac.

Yes! Definitely a snob about other people's houses. Not that mine's perfect, but I'm almost 30, my other almost 30 year old friends should't have a living room that stinks of university halls.

Rap. I can't stand simplistic auto-tuned mumble rap. Every time I heard that, I can smell my brain cells burning. I like good rap. Intellectual rap where you can actually understand the syllables.
