Are you stuck up?

[Disgustipated]

I think I posed this question in another forum many years ago, I don't think I have done so here. I feel ashamed for being stuck up, and I don't know why I am this way, but I am. I realized this at Walmart yesterday. I absolutely hate walmart, their customers, and their clerks. It's so trashy. I have been avoiding shopping there for 13 years now, but I was there with my mother getting a gift for my brother. I would never shop there for myself. The point is I was really annoyed being around these people. I know I shouldn't be, but I was.

The thing is I grew up poor white trash. So you'd think I would feel comfortable in that element, but I'm not. I've sought all my life to make money to get away from that life. Now I'm away from it, I don't want to go back to it. The typical response on their end would be: "you think you're better than us?". I don't think I"m better than them, I certainly am not. I just think I have nothing in common with them, and I'm uncomfortable around them.

So anyways, this a-hole cuts in front of me in line at the Walmart, and I really lost my patience at that. I have vowed to never go inside a Walmart for any reason ever again. Not to mention the clerk was fat, lazy, rude, and didn't help me find a gift card. I never go in there, so I wasn't sure where to look, and what they look like.

I'm a stuck up bastard, and while I'm not proud of it, I accept that's how I am.

Not at all I'd like to think . And I'm possibly a little proud that it's not part of my character .

I too refuse to ever shop at a WalMart, although I wouldn't call myself "white trash". I actually grew up in a fairly stable and well-off (but not rich) family.

But yeah, I'd say I'm probably stuck-up.

Not wanting to go into Wal-Mart doesn't make you a stuck-up snob. Hating Wal-Mart is not about snobbery. There are plenty of non-snobbish reasons to hate shopping at Wal-Mart, and in many cases opposing Wal-Mart is a mark of anti-snobbery since you are choosing to not give any money to the corporate snobs who own Wal-Mart.

Me personally? I'm not a snob, just better than you are.

I avoid the local Walmart because it's often flooded with tourists, especially this time of year, and it's actually really awkward for me to get to.

I would say that I am pretty damn chill in real life.

Yes, I am. I think that I'm better than the entire human race. I feel snobbish towards every group of people you can imagine. I *hate* human society. I can't tell you how much I hate humanity. I hate it.

Also, I'm snobbish to the animal kingdom too. I revile dogs the most, and I hate all the other animals except felis silvestris catus. I demand feline domination!

If mythological entities exist, I sure as hell feel snobbish to them too. I feel I'm better than them too. Knowing them, they're snobbish too. Personally, I think they're simply space aliens (of the non-blue variety) posing as deities. God himself included. Considering there's probably many different species of aliens out there, I can't be snobbish to all of them, because they might actually be really nice people who I'd love to interact with.

Of course, when I am out in the world, I'm nice to people, and act humbly, but I secretly revile them all.

But, there IS a group of people that I'm actually behaving snobbish to the most IRL, and they are those with mental disabilities. I hate them with every inch of my being. I'm not snobbish, however, to those with physical disabilities.

I'd hate to be labelled as snobbish, but I'll admit to being elitist.

 

[Cutlass]

I hate everyone. Easier that way.

 

[sophie]

I'm pretty snobbish; especially when it comes to music.

I'm pretty stuck up. I'll walk through a Wal-Mart and I'll be thinking: "Wow, their life must suck". I'm in a family of two parents who are still together who are well off and we live in a middle class neighborhood.

This is what it means to be stuck-up - when someone thinks they are better than others when they have done nothing themselves to earn their privileged position. What you receive through good luck and no effort of your own does not make you a better person than anyone else.

Those who have ability and make an effort are not stuck-up - they have every right to consider themselves better than others, because they are.

He called himself stuck up, and you responded by calling him stuck up.

What annoys me is when people who are obviously inferior think they're better than they are.

Normally, I'm chill, but UVA has made me hate people a lot more.

Uhm.. that's the thread topic. Try to keep up.

 

[Joecoolyo]

I'm snobbish when it's funny.

Otherwise naw.

Yeah, man. It's like, when will these plebs realize how puny and insignificant they are?

It was redundant.

In real life, I'm a pretty humble person. The more I read these forums though, the more stuck up I feel.
