What brings out your inner-snob?

[jjwineaux]

We all know 'em, we all are annoyed by them: the know it alls, holyier-than-thous, the picky drinkers

But admit it, we have a little something that we refuse to settle for or will villify at the mere mention of....so what is yours?

 

[Hilbert]

people who refuse to try beers other than coors light, bud light, etc.

When I spend $13 on a bottle of Supplication and that biotch of a cashier takes my bottle, lays it on it's side and rolls it down to the bagger. Guess I'm not drinking that bottle today afterall. Snob? Maybe. But ignorance is no excuse.

What brings out my inner snob?
LOL it's when I see those fake cowboys trying to act like they ride bulls or whathave you.
when I was younger, I'd start a conversation (usually at a bar) and put them in their place and embarass them.. Been in a couple fights cause of it, but I haven't lost yet. LOL

People who b!tch about what the cashier does with their beer, not even thinking that a 10-20 minute car ride and carrying it into the house is going to shake the sh!t out of it much worse than she did.

30 minutes to an hour in the fridge or cellar and it will all settle back down anyway.

People, like my dad, who don't understand why the original Battlestar Galactica will always be superior to the new version, no matter how well it's done. Come on people, we're talking 1970's TV SciFi! Does it get any better?!!? :rockin:

In this case, you're dad's right. The new version, rocks! The old version was painful to watch then, and now. Especially the season where they found earth, and played little league.

As an American living in Belgium, it thoroughly pisses me off to see a fellow American drink a fine Belgian beer right from the bottle! My boss hosted a New Year's Reception this year and had Westvleteren 12 in his fridge (another thing that bothers me BTW!) and one of my collegues was drinking right out of the bottle! Like it was a Budweiser or something....

Well, SURE, if you're going to lump Galactica 1980 and that annoying Dr. Z in with the original series!!!

Although, it was nice to see Cousin Oliver getting work as he got older.

The hardest part was getting my head around the idea of Starbuck being a girl. But after awhile, I wanted to get my other head into Katee Sackhoff's panties.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I suspect that the new series is probably better written, has better acting and blows the special effects of the old series out of the water, but, I guess there's just a certain sentimental factor to the old series.

I feel the same way about the old Buck Rogers. I watch it now and think, "Man this is NOT how I remember this," but I still love watching it.

Frosted mugs. I just can't do it. Unless there is a wolf scene on said frosted mug. Then I am OK with it. Or deer. Or dragons. Really, if it has a ridiculous motif and is frosted I will accept it. But otherwise, frosted mugs are probably my biggest snob point.

Surprisingly a chain restaurant a few years ago had a local micro on tap so I ordered one up and it came in a frosted mug. I cupped my hands around the beer until we got our meal to try my best to bring the temperature down to a reasonable point.

...The waitress looked at me like I was on crack when I asked for the next pint to be in a "non-frosted" glass


I also try my best not to say anything when I ask what's on tap and the response is "Oh we've got everything!"...."really? I'll take a rochefort 10 please!"

Hopheads who think that because they drink IPAs that they actually know something about craft beer.

Hence the snobbery. Who said snobbery should be legitimate?

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Going into a house, any house, and seeing how badly Handy Hank Homeowner F*cked up his electrical trying to do it himself.

What? It's not wrong! It works, doesn't it???? Sigh...........

 

[elkdog]

Some fratty holding forth on how Guinness is really heavy, lagers are always light-colored, or how bitters are, you know, really bitter. I'm fine with people not knowing much about beer; it's the ones that pretend that they know a lot that get on my nerves.

 

[FromZwolle]

people who microwave any meat product. I'm not talking reheating a meal. I mean using the microwave to cook. "Oh, no thanks. I'm really not hungry right now. I just ate, like, 48 hours ago." if weber started a church, i would surely convert.

And Revvy, with all his useful advice and research data to back it all up. Why you gotta be so darn helpful. give some bad advice already. just once, just for fun.

Bad teeth.

Hey! not everyone can afford their deductible.

Anyone who uses Comic Sans.


Either that or Papyrus.

 

[Styles]

I know, it really is horrible, but I can't help it....

You're right on about cooking meat in a microwave too.

Another one is people (invariably men), when discussing beer saying "I'm actually a *insert mass produced insipid beer here* man myself", I swear there are guys here in NZ that have never drank anything other than Lion Red.

I feel your pain, and all my co-workers are the same way. As far as the teeth are concerned, i can look past crooked/chipped teeth, but the calcium decay is rough. Three foot buffer zone "bro"

Hehe, this reminds me of this video. That part where Greg pours the AB

 

[arturo7]

People thinking they are music aficionados who listen to nothing but commercial radio and purchase the crap that is purveyed there.

BMC, fast food, and pop music in it's varied forms; all one in the same.

I have the same issue with people and their infinite knowledge of wine. I studied my ass and my palate off to know what I know (which is not everything) and they want to talk about how great last night's glass of mer-lot was even though they prefer pin-not now-r. Classic.

Oh and people that hold the bowl of a wine glass instead of the stem....it's there for a reason - use it.

Waitresses who don't even know the names of all of the beers they sell, or don't even have a list wrote down so I can look at it. Is it so frakking hard?
