those claiming to be always right are usually hiding the fact that they're always wrong

[Al Waysrite]

Wow, look at the responses.
I gather from this that there is not a single snob in all of Folsom (maybe one but he's got a great sense of humor about it). Therefore this must be the best place in the entire world to live and anyone who feels otherwise, well they're just insignificant little nobodies who don't warrant our very valuable time or concern.

Have a nice day while gardening, cleaning the house and shopping at WalMart.

Do you only go to the movie theatre in EDH instead of the one in Folsom?

These "movie theatres" of which you speak, I assume they're like my private screening room, but open to the public? That sounds like socialism to me, but there may be money in it. I will consider your words.

Hahahaha

I only attend live theatre...and only in the Queen's English. Film is for the masses.

[Jolene]

All of you who say that you don't shop for clothes based on the label are LYING. How else do you tell what size it is?

Also, I was going to admit to being a snob for absolutely no "earned" reason, but based on Al's survey, I guess I'm not as snobby as I thought.

Do you drink wine when others are drinking beer?
I don't drink at all. Quit three months before I got pregnant.

Do you have a gardener or housecleaner?
No, but we do have a pool guy. How's that rank?

Do you shop for clothes based on the label?
Yes, how else will I know if they fit? Name brand, however? No.

Would you refuse outright to buy anything from a thrift store or garage sale?
Nope! Drop in to the thrift store now and then, drive slowly by garage sales and frequently check out the Free section of Craigslist as well.

Do you complain about the other customers at Wal-Mart?
I hate Wal*mart with a white hot passion, so I don't know much about their customers.

Do you watch foreign films?
Amelie (French) is one of my favourite movies.

Do you belong to a private club that has a membership committee?
Nope.

Do you only go to the movie theatre in EDH instead of the one in Folsom?
Nope.

Do you regularly buy things from Whole Foods or David Berkeley's?
TJ's, for me.

Naw...there's some snobs around...they are just afraid to answer the survey honestly. Either that or they are to busy at the country club or in their own private screening rooms or waiting for their BMW's to be detailed, and they have not had the opportunity to peruse the survey. I am okay with that....

Folsom Non-Snobs, Unite!!!

Do you drink wine when others are drinking beer?
Yes. I also drink scotch when others drink beer. I'll drink beer when others drink beer. Hell, I'll drink Jack with a beer back while others drink beer.

Do you have a gardener or housecleaner?
Gardener since the baby came, I hate gardening. I hate housecleaning too, but my MIL's been around

Do you shop for clothes based on the label?
No. I don't even look at the sizes. I run through Ross and grab things that look like they might fit. One trip through the dressing room and I'm out with whatever fit. I hate shopping.

Would you refuse outright to buy anything from a thrift store or garage sale?
Not usually, but I find garage sales products are worse than direct-sales through Craigslist. Better deals at garage sales, but harder to find.

Do you complain about the other customers at Wal-Mart?
Yes. I hate Wal-Mart customers. They block the isles and stink up the place. Same goes for Macy's, but I shop at Wallyworld weekly, and maybe Macy's anually.

Do you watch foreign films?
Yeah, much better than hollywood snobby garbage. Good stories and they don't talk dumb to you and flash Will Smith at you when the plot vaporizes.

Do you belong to a private club that has a membership committee?
Uhm, HOA, but other than that no. I hate working out and stuff.

Do you only go to the movie theatre in EDH instead of the one in Folsom?
Yeah, but how's that snobbery? My back hurts at the Folsom one. EDH's chairs are so much more comfortable. Though, my wife loves the Folsom one because EDH doesn't have kettle-corn and she's a fiend for that stuff!

Do you regularly buy things from Whole Foods or David Berkeley's?
No, because they're too far away. I like TJ's though. Good wine

[mylo]

That's 5 for me. Is that enough for snob classification?

I bet you drive a bmw too

[cw68]

How about these questions that nobody needs to answer on here. Just answer them in your head.

Do you lease a luxury car because you couldn't afford the payments had you purchased it? (Doesn't apply to those leasing for tax/business reasons.)

Do you only associated with people who belong to your club/church/live in your upscale neighborhood?

Do you use or believe in the the phrase "Other side of Oak Avenue?"

Have you ever said to your spouse, "Well, I just have to get XYZ because XYZ has it too."

Do you keep up with the Joneses? "Mr. X just got a 50" flat screen, must be time to upgrade myself."

Do regularly talk or speculate about how much money people make? (Including yourself.) Do you introduce people with their profession attached to their name?

Do you look up to those with high-paying white collared job and look down upon those with lower-paying blue collar jobs?

Does the sight of a pick-up truck in your neighborhood make you bristle?

Would you rather have a BMW parked in your neighbor's driveway than a pick-up truck, assuming they are similar condition and age?

Do you pity people who live in apartments?

Do you think you're "better" than people who live in Rancho/Sacramento/Antelope?

Do you not shop at Winco because of the customers?

[brown]

Maybe this ought to be a different topic but I've given this some thought and come up with a series of questions that may help to determine our own level of snobbishness here in Folsom (this is by no means exhaustive).

Do you drink wine when others are drinking beer?

Only if it comes in a box

Do you have a gardener or housecleaner?

Me, and also me

Do you shop for clothes based on the label?

Nope

Would you refuse outright to buy anything from a thrift store or garage sale?

No way...some of our best stuff is from garage sales!

Do you complain about the other customers at Wal-Mart?

Only one time, when one guy was yelling at his toddler to 'hurry the f*** up'

Do you watch foreign films?

No, but I like gladiator movies, does that count?

Do you belong to a private club that has a membership committee?

Never

Do you only go to the movie theatre in EDH instead of the one in Folsom?

Only because the seats at the Folsom theatre suck

Do you regularly buy things from Whole Foods or David Berkeley's?

Nope, more like Winco

[mylo]

I bet you drive a bmw too

Ha! I do! It's got 250k miles on it, is dented, and barely runs... I also drive a Volvo

Both are paid for entirely, so that's gotta cut my snobscore

[Chad Vander Veen]

These are good, CW

Do you lease a luxury car because you couldn't afford the payments had you purchased it? (Doesn't apply to those leasing for tax/business reasons.)

No


Do you only associated with people who belong to your club/church/live in your upscale neighborhood?

No

Do you use or believe in the the phrase "Other side of Oak Avenue?"

I live on the other side

Have you ever said to your spouse, "Well, I just have to get XYZ because XYZ has it too."

no, but I've though it

Do you keep up with the Joneses? "Mr. X just got a 50" flat screen, must be time to upgrade myself."

same as previous answer

Do regularly talk or speculate about how much money people make? (Including yourself.)


no, I just assume it's more than me

Do you introduce people with their profession attached to their name?

no


Do you look up to those with high-paying white collared job and look down upon those with lower-paying blue collar jobs?

sometimes, but sometimes blue collar jobs seem awesome

Does the sight of a pick-up truck in your neighborhood make you bristle?

no

Would you rather have a BMW parked in your neighbor's driveway than a pick-up truck, assuming they are similar condition and age?

no, a neighbor with a truck is infinitely more useful than a neighbor with a BMW

Do you pity people who live in apartments?

sometimes

Do you think you're "better" than people who live in Rancho/Sacramento/Antelope?

probably some of them

Do you not shop at Winco because of the customers?

no, usually cuz they don't take credit cards

[banana]

oh no a volvo!? thats even worse. I bet you live in one of those giant ritzy houses in ARC too
