Am I a snob?

First a confession, I am a shopaholic.  I have to visit shops every day.

Yesterday, I visited three budget shops.

  1. Aldi, I found the people there to be crude, vulgar, common people with no manners.
  2. Fulton's, the shoppers and their clothes smell, don't these people bathe ? Or do laundry?
  3. Poundstrecher, the faint smell of old vomit made me feel sick.

I prefer Waitrose and M & S.

  • Perceived snobbism tends to originate from ones own lack of self worth or inner sense of inferiority. Or at least some strands of it seem to.

    For example, an Aspie may spend a disproportionate amount of time displaying their knowledge of their special interest to decoy from their areas of personal challenge and therefore mask vulnerabilities and either self imposed theories of low self worth or the lack of worth projected onto them by others, or society. 

  • Back to discussing snobbery.  I like to be different and I find it difficult to understand why people try to be the same as others.

    For example I bought myself a yellow suitcase.

    The reasons were not snobbery but practical.  When I went on package holidays, half the people had black suitcases , so I wanted mine to be unique so I could identify it quickly when it was mixed in with others.

    But when I was walking down the street with it I was followed by a gang of youths shouting insults at me and taking the piss out of the colour.  I consider these people to be uncouth and common.

  • Hi Robert where I live on a busy estate I was continually targeted by teenagers and their parents as we were seen by them as “ the posh lot”  having been born on a typical council estate and proud to be considered working class I was indeed a square peg living in a round hole .

    The right word to describe them is tricky, because most had never worked and those that had barely ever did, the odd cash job, which supplements the ciggie sand lager, 

    they knew the state system and did very well from it. Lots of kids to get ever more family credit, free nappies and milk formula, even had food deliveries by Tesco and Asda.

    one police officer said I was the nieghbours entertainment,,, and I should have proved myself when I first moved there, basically beat  someone up to warn them off, so because I worked and had no credit, kept my kids clean, had a big car which I owned( cheap old second hand Volvo estate) I was a snob, 

    I refused to sink to their level of existence, looked after my young children in that they had lots of toys to play with instead of walking barefooted throwing stones, smashing bottles, destroying bushes and snapping trees, not climbing them, oh no break them, destroy, 

    can I say how clean and well ordered your window sill is, and your suitcase is absolutely fantastic, easy to find as you said, practical, robust, and clean, 

    Some people have no pride or sense of right or wrong, no idea of cost, they rely totally in credit.

     We are the right one, they are dysfunctional,,,

    Be proud  Robert for who you are and having pride in who you are and your high moral code. 

    They react out of jealousy,,, 

    take care and your never alone with us as your family. X()x
