I am a snob about:
Nice greeting cards..hate cheap ones
Serving good beer at parties....you won't find a keg of Milwaukee's Best anywhere near my bash
Nice wrapping paper..when I met my husband he wrapped my gift in the comic section of the paper....
Birthday cakes..I can't stand the 8x8 cakes in tin foil pans store bought
Serving open condiments at parties....Been to people's homes where they bring out salad dressing with a half teaspoon in the bottle.... or cheap no name freezer burned ice cream .I buy new stuff..
Cheap chintszy Bath Wash...
Cheap candles....
Gotta watch a movie from start to finish..not an hr into it....

Come to my party, but don't bring anything. I have a menu planned. It will be fantastic!
Wine in a plastic cup! Forget it! I insist on a beautiful crystal clear wine glass.
Surprise company just rang the doorbell! That's o.k. I can serve mini sandwiches and fruit tarts in a snap. I plan ahead, bake, cook, freeze, and thaw. You won't get potato chips and a coke here, but you will be served like kings and queens.
The 1/2 bath, on the first level, must always be spotless and ready for company's use. There will always be high-end foaming hand soap, throw away finger towels (not paper towels), fresh flowers in a tall, corner vase, and plug in scents according to the time of year (cinnamon, balsam, lavender).
Going out to dine in a nice restaurant: Sit me far away from children, or I'll leave. I've gone that route with 3 of my own. No apology.

I was always told by my grandmother that a clean kitchen and spotless bathroom is the "Visitenkarte" ...business card of a Hausfrau and I live by that statement
Bad coffee...take it off the check, please.
Bad food at a restaurant, I'm spending
good money, come on...."So sorry, I can't eat this...you try it. See what I mean...
it's not your fault", to the waitress...
I just can't eat or pay for unedible things...but, I'm never mad...it's just food.
Chocolate - hate the cheap stuff
Ditto for ice cream
Toilet roll - has got to be soft, not the cheapo rough stuff
