I'm snobby about people who don't know the proper use of there, their, and they're. Also to, too, and two.

A typo is one thing, but if you really don't know the difference you need to figure that crap out.

i mean, there's a time and a place for people to use emaw or Emaw in their screen names. it usually revolves around a gpc message board. In those cases I don't care. However, if I'm at goEMAW or some other great place and i see someone use emaw or Emaw in their screen name, I'll speak up. You shouldn't be on those message boards with that crappy of a screen name. guess i'm just snobby that way.

Yeah, I chose that screenname like a zillion years ago. How does one change his screenname?

R RowdyBoyy D just came in and cleaned up in this thread this morning.  It's fun to watch a message boarder at the top of his game.

ok i'm pretty snobby about music. i tend to judge people that don't have a very broad range of taste like i do. so like people that listen to one genre only annoy me and i make fun of them.

also i have a really good ear, not perfect pitch, but the next best level right under that, so if someone's off key, in any context, i usually say something about it. like if a person changes key in the first five seconds of the national anthem (happens all the time), i will absolutely point it out to those around me.

i think i like to be snobby about these things because i generally hang out with people who know very little about music.

I'm snobby about amateur athletics. You won't ever find me at a middle school football game unless I have kids playing or something. It's terrible.

I'm kinda snobby about ppl who are extremely over weight and continue to eat a crap ton at restaurants. I guess it's cause I use to be over weight and did something about it. Just seems lazy and gross.

ok. well you know what? i'm snobby about people that are poor spellers . i guess it's cause I use to be a poor speller and did something about it. Just seems lazy and gross.

total population worldwide who doesn't have family playing in middle school football games (or participating in some other thing like cheerleading, band, etc.) that attends middle school football games: 0

emawblast do you want to be IRL best buds? (I will look past the fact that you have emaw in the screenname.)

I am totally snobby about who plays the quarterback position for the Kansas State University Wildcats football team.  I require a total badass with at least one dominating physical attribute (speed, power, agility, arm strength) and has a ton of self confidence.

I am kind of snobby about cars.  I usually pre-judge a person based on what they're driving.  If you drive a KIA, I probably wouldn't take a personal check from you.  If you drive too expensive of a car, I assume you have deep rooted insecurities.

I am definitely snobby/elitist at times, but that's just a byproduct of being from MHK. Guys. Can we call BSFS "Snob Hole"?

Crap, I feel judged. I don't drive a KIA (my god, who would?), but you'd still judge me hard, and not because the car is too expensive.

Love it. LOVE IT. Do you guys also bug out when people sing Happy Birthday without first establishing a pitch on which to start? A bunch of clowns at my work just try to start singing all at the same time and no one blows a pitch pipe or anything. I feel embarrassed for them because they just sorta swim around in this awful and ambiguous undefined tonal area for like two lines until they somehow sync up.

omg yep. i don't like to show off but it is in this situation that i establish myself as the clear vocal leader and really set the key on the first HA- of "HAPPY". people usually fall in line. but you're right the "1, 2, 3, go.." approach is excruciating.
