I like the people who buy a bunch of new mugs and then leave comments on threads acting like experts. Or when the amazing artists on here post their new work and then idiots who wouldn't know how to carve their name into a tree leave their little judgemental comments. Not really sure if that is them being "snobby" or just asses...i choose the latter.

As far as being a snob personally I notice I act this way when i go to place like antique fairs or the "boutique" section of thrift stores . At the last Alameda Fair I asked this vendor how much he wanted for this hula girl cocojoe and after he said $40 I started laughing so hard and wishing him good luck at trying to sell it.Felt bad for my friend who had to apologize for my behavior but I ended the interaction with "I am sure I will see that same item next month in your case. Have fun dragging it back and forth like a lost puppy"

Same thing happened when I was at a thrift last week and they told me they wanted $25 for a pair of tiki s&p shakers that I see on Ebay daily sell for $6 and under.

I guess that is being snobby...but I think it may also lean more to me calling people out on their overpricing b.s.
