Wealth doesn't always equal snob. I know loads of very weathy people that are the salt of the earth.

Wealth also doesn't neccessarily equal class.... 'nuff said

Oh, by the way...I found this great tool...it's called a Garden Groom Pro Electric hedge Trimmer. It's the coolest thing. Has a vacuum attached to the trimmer and it also mulches the clippings for you! A gardeners must have. Feel better now : )

back to real snobs, real rich people don't do yard work and have no need to be interested in the latest gadgets

I am relocating back to NJ from Texas and one of my worries is dealing with snobs again after being with extremely friendly people in the south.

I am going to make it a point to call the snobs on their game and tell them right out loud to "get over them selves".

Snobs are people who like to point out other people's observations about snobs and then reply w/ a snobbish statement in order for them to get a feeling of superiority when all that comes across is stupidity and mediocrity, and oh yeah, they like to say they are power players too.

You are ALL beneath me!!!!! Well, at the baseball game anyway, I always get the cheap seats.

For one, if you let ANYONE get to you, you have self esteem issues imo. Who cares what other people think. Who cares what you drive or what "I" drive or wear or buy. If someone I dont know gives me an attitude or is rude or just treats me bad in general I dont give a F***. Thats their problem that they have their heads stuck up their A**. If I have no choice but to deal with someone like that (ie. a customer, or sales person, or simply that i just need something from them specifically) then i still conduct myslef as I normally would. Only if they get personal or try to attack me in some fashion do I ever even bother getting annoyed.

Brush it all off and move on with your life.

On my 15th birthday my Dad got me a few gifts and yes, an application to the local pizza joint where I worked until I was 18.

Here in unnecessarily snobby Hoboken, I see the spoiled brats in the BMW's and they don't have respect for themselves, let alone anyone else. How can you go through life thinking you are the best thing on Earth? Did Mommy and Daddy tell you there is nobody better and the world will stop if you aren't around?

I have more respect for the blue collar worker slugging it out daily to make a living than Blake and Trevor working on Wall Street acting like the world owes them a big thank you for allowing them their next breath. The latter is a useless bunch that ruins towns like Hoboken, Montclair, and Downtown JC.

You dont know what one of those kids are trust fund babies. Some come from very middle class families and worked hard in school to get high paying careers. Some do come from aloof parents with enough money to use as toilet paper. Some are New Jersey Guidos who lease BMWs to drive down to Bar A with. Lets not get started on that again though.

Blue Collar work is not for everyone and quite frankly will not lead you to a lavish lifestyle. And I dont want to hear about being happy without making alot of money. Because when the educated Wall St worker takes a 2 week vacation in Tahiti (no pun) the blue collar guy can only afford Wildwood not that thats so terrible but comparitively speaking.
