Am I a snob?

[HEyHEY]

I was at the big motor sports event and there were all the typical white trash redneck types there, Mullets, bad teeth, ratty-unwashed clothing. I just couldn't be there, I was disgusted by the people around me.
I just look at them and think "Fuck, take a shower and clean yourself up!"
I don't know, am I a snob?

1. No your just not a

white trash redneck.

[HEyHEY]

3. But it's not just that I dislike them - I'm disgusted by them.

I worry someone else will see me with them, and think I'm one of them..

2. No....nothing wrong with being picky about people....

Its okay to realize you're above that shit; its not okay to let them know you feel that way. Nothing wrong with realizing who you are.

Go to a professional wrestling match sometime and try not to realize you're smarter than the mob.

on edit: letting them know how you feel frequently leads to ass-kickings!

4. No, you aren't a snob

I wouldn't let Michael (This is Stephanie) drive around NC last weekend because of the redneck traffic-

It's a ridiculous "sport."

On a side note; look at the crowd at the Belmont, and compare them with the crowd at the Kentucky Derby. You want snobby? Baby, you got it-

[HEyHEY]

6. What gets me is how they're so impressed by all the loud noises

And driving a truck through a puddle of mud ooooooooooo
:eyes:

8. What's even weirder is the number of them

that vote Republican.

5. My hair dresser has the same problem.

He freaks out when his women customers that insist on long hair with the "rosette" bangs tell him they are going to recommend him to all their friends. He'd rather not be remembered that way.

7. yes

a fucking snob!

[HEyHEY]

9. Oh, well, I can't help it

:shrug:

10. Poor Republicans?

Thats like hitting yourself with a hammer "couse it feels gud wen I stop!".

11. I struggle with this

Some of the people that I work with are like that. Well, they wear clean clothing because we have uniforms provided by a service. At first, coming out of college, I did have a problem with several of them. I've learned a lot of things from them and some of the others that work there too but are not "redneck". For example, one of the nicer older women acknowledged that she was not smart at all or even average at anything but always did the best she could and didn't worry about what other people thought. I guess what I learned is that everyone has worth and to beleive otherwise is more ignorant than the people you saw befoer you or that work with me. Going to the corporate interview made me realize that I am more comfortable with them with their crude straightforwardness than these nice polite, materalistic people with hidden agendas who aren't necessarily any more enlightened. It is alright to be uncomfortable with and disagree with some of their behaviors, but realize that they have worth too.
Note: For the purpose of simplicity I used "they". Every individual is unique. Not all rural working class people are "redneck" as HEyHEY decribed and neither are all the people who I work with.
