How can you tell if you're a snob?

So does Mrs W. Really posh people drink that tea that tastes like someone has put a burnt stick in some hot water.
I know what it’s called but can’t spell it because I’m not posh.

I have Earl Grey with milk.

Waits for stunned silence followed by wall of outrage

I remember being shocked when I added honey and milk to Earl Grey ~30 years ago, with the liquid turning grey!😱

No I mean Lapsangsooshong. Or whatever it’s really called.

I quite often drink lemon or mint tea, definitely don't put milk in either.

Lapsang souchong

I wasn’t a million miles from the correct spelling then, however it does really taste like a burnt stick.

It’s one of the gun powder teas though haven’t had it for a long time as been drinking green tea last 25 years

I realised my children were much posher than me many years back when daughter (then aged about 8) asked if they had balsamic vinegar to go with the salad garnish on her very ordinary pub meal. I’m pretty sure I never ate out as a child, never mind knew of any dressing other than salad cream.

Im a snob because I only commit white collar crime.

When people say things like that, I always have a mental image of someone in a shirt, with a prominent collar.

Blue collar too.

Harry Hill is getting really pissed off being picked out in identity parades

Lapsang souchong

Like someone poured hot water into an ashtray, then added a slice of lemon.
EVeryone else is horrified by the very idea, the gross smell, and especially the revolting flavour.

I rather like it.

Everybody who has a car worth less than yours is obviously a looser.

those with a car that costs more than yours is obviously an idiot for wasting so much on a depreciating asset.

works on watches, bicycles, dogs, wives, etcetera, etcetera etcetera…

Can they ever get tighter again, or do they just go looser and looser? 🤣

Having a car in the first place though; How utterly beastly!!

works on watches, bicycles,

Well, that's half this forum bummed then, isn't it? 🤣

Just get a rescue and have a grateful soul living with you instead.
That trumps all snobbery and the small Canine sleeping next to me currently will wholeheartedly agree! 😍

Furthermore:

wives, etcetera, etcetera etcetera…

Unlike dogs, I cannot really comment! 🤣
