Hotels.
-
@IRunForFun: twins! I can't think of anything, either.
-
Also - vanilla ice cream and iced tea. If it's not Bluebell Homemade Vanilla, then I want a different flavor and I only drink fresh brewed tea. None of that stuff from a mix.
-
I'm a bit of a snob about travel. I just don't understand people who have no desire to learn about the world outside of their own little town/neighborhood/city.
-
@locavore_mama: i love pulling this one out of my butt when people say nyc water is gross. We won best tasting water and they even bottled it as a publicity stunt:

-
Oh, and "ethnic" food. I'm secretly a snob about people who are afraid of whole categories of ethnic foods.
-
Bagels! (I'm from NY as well!)
-
Food. Baby toys. Baby safety gear.
No shame!
-
@locavore_mama: ha -interesting!
-
@Freckles: You would cringe at the wine we have, I buy based on how pretty the label is!
I really can't think of anything. I definitely have things I prefer over others but I don't know its to the point of snobbery.
ETA: Thought of something...I hate unnecessarily unhealthy food. There is no need to use a pound of butter, mayo, oil on something that tastes amazing on its own. I love many unhealthy foods but why do you need to put a scoop of butter on my steamed veggies?
-
BEEEEEEER!
-
Wine, food, travel...
I also really, really love my neighbourhood and wouldn't think of living elsewhere in our city. DH and I complain when we have to drive to the suburbia for gatherings!
-
Grammar, literature, some pop culture stuff.
-
Skincare and cosmetics--I'm a beauty products wh0re.
-
@DigAPony: I know so little about pop culture! I guess the only thing I'm a snob about is coffee, and I can't say it's based on deep knowledge about beans and the roasting process. I just know I like the stuff that costs more money!
-
Water, purses, coffee, cars, brand name food, hotels, restaurants.... I should probably stop right there!
-
@DigAPony: same as all of yours, plus food and beer!
I'm also really snotty about baby names that I think are trashy, but I never share my opinion. Instead, I silently judge.
-
I am a snob about a lot of things. One that no one else has mentioned is flight connections. I hate them! I try to fly direct as much as possible.
-
Coffee and beer.
-
Maybe a couple of things? We don't eat processed food really, and I hate fried food but I can't think of much else. I guess I'm kind of a toy snob with DS - I hate plastic toys. I try to buy him only wooden ones. I also won't buy drugstore foundation or concealer.
-
Too many things, unfortunately.
-
Not a lot, but...
-where I live (I have been super fortunate that our jobs have allowed us pretty much free reign on location)
-clothes (I don't buy designer but I don't buy anything cheap that will look awful/fall apart after a wash)
-make-up (don't really know why...the more expensive stuff just seems nicer)
-hotels (If I can't afford somewhere nice, I won't go) -
This probably sounds snobby but I can't think of much! I mean, I prefer nice handbags and clothes...but I can't afford them half the time so oh well!
I guess I am snobby when it comes to phones (I've had iphones for the last 6 years) and donuts (I prefer Krispy Kreme)?
-
I would rather call it "brand loyalty", we are very loyal to the brands we like in lots of things.
-
Pens! I carry nice gel pens everywhere and buy my own pens for work. I do a fair amount of writing and hate using the standard cheap ballpoint pens that my company provides.
-
Grammar and punctuation.
And travel, probably.
-
I forgot about makeup! I'm a huge makeup snob.
-
@ElbieKay: I don't think that's snobby! Who likes to take more time to get where you're going and lug stuff around airports? And lots of times direct is even cheaper!
-
@Mrs. Taco: Hahaha, i used to do that too. How else are you going to choose a wine?
Honestly, my snobbery really only comes out when people talk as if they know shit, when they don't.
-
Shoes.
I refuse to wear shoes from Target or Payless or similar stores, and same goes for my girls.
I think high quality shoes are incredibly important!
Oh, also makeup and hair product. Since I have a stylist in the family, we're all about the Kerastase and Oribe hair products!
-
Toilet paper, I will only buy Charmin ultra soft. That's it though, I'm way too poor to be picky about much.
-
Hair products. I'd say makeup but there are some seriously amazing drug store finds that are totally comparable to department store things, but I tend to buy more from high end for makeup also. But hair products - like I won't even buy the expensive shampoo/conditioner of the same brand from CVS/Walgreens etc, i will only buy them at licensed beauty stores and salons (because they manufacture them differently). That's it i think, i'm a stickler for certain brands for food but i wouldn't put myself in the snob category.
-
@Freckles: DH and I regularly kill ourselves laughing at a particular family member who claims to be a big wine-o and who brought "the good stuff" one night and it was a bottle of Woodbridge.
-
I'm worst about beer and yarn, but I'm also picky about the quality of my food (especially meat), wine, bed sheets, and pretty much anything that comes into contact with DD.
-
@Tidybee: lol, no comment.
-
@locavore_mama: You crazy! haha Like @fancyfunction: said NYC has some of the best water in the country. When I go out of the city sometimes there's such a big difference in taste, yuck!
I am a snob about:
bagels
pizza
macaroni and cheese (will NOT eat it out of a box)
the use of a serial comma (it's a must)
two spaces after a sentence (don't do it!)I'm pretty low-key about most things, though.
-
@mrsjazz: OMG, the serial comma!
The organization I worked for (just recently quit) told me I had to stop using it. I really tried to fight them on it but they said since I was ghost writing for the executive director, it was her call.
Drives me nuts!
I also hate the over-use of the word 'that.'
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: Huge fan of Oribe over here! I freaked out when I saw my husband use my gel serum in his hair! i was like i buy the cheap stuff for you!!!
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: My ED doesn't like the serial comma and uses two spaces after a period and I change it every single time. She doesn't even notice.
-
Oh, I thought of one! I am a snob about the notepads I use at work - HAVE to be graph paper! Must be years of forced use for Engineering, but writing on lined paper drives me crazy now.
@Rocker2014: My eyes are totally tired from being at a computer all day, but I read that as 'penis' and died laughing. Then I realized it was just 'pens' and decided I need to go home. That is something to be snobby about though!!
