I suppose snobbery is the result of a person who is not yet fully educated on a topic, whatever that topic might be, it seems like a natural part of progression in anything. I think the problem is when someone dwells in that mindset for too long and doens't pick up on the signs of detest from others when they manifest their snobbish behaviours.Button down collarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714922182513339530.post-52885861227949400852021-07-29T15:17:01.266-04:002021-07-29T15:17:01.266-04:00Yes, it does because being a hypocrite is being a ...Yes, it does because being a hypocrite is being a slob, and there are many hypocrites amongst polite Society.

I'm driving a Subaru Outback bought before kids and before marriage when we were in grad school. Our fridge is a total eye sore and I'm looking to replace it even though it works just fine. Aesthetic standards coming into play, and the old, yellowing fridge is going to the garage for kitchen overflow.

As many have mentioned above, it’s all in the delivery. A “New Haven pizza snob,” for example, can only offer a taste. If it’s declined, so be it. Education can compensate. But not everyone is open to advanced learning. Even when it comes to apizza.
