A thread in the House forum made me think of this topic ("What things make you cringe")
Well, I'm a person of modest means, but that doesn't stop me from being an insufferable snob about some things! I'll make a wee list:
1. Glasses frames
2. Figure skates
3. Scarves
4. Vintage small kitchen appliances
5. To a lesser degree, footwear (get those hideous white trainers out of my line of vision!)
You? Don't be afraid of snobbing it up here...that's what this thread is for!
(And righteous naysayers, keep your sanctimony to yourselves. The rest of us will have fun.)
Most Americans' perception of the state of California, its variety of weather, geography, etc.
It's not what you see on TV. I wish people were less stupid about it, but they are self-righteous about their ill-informed poor educational knowledge of things like this.
Margarine and balloon bread. That's all we ever got when I was a kid. Never again!
Spaghetti sauce. Gotta be homemade.
Chocolate. Hershey's tastes like baby vomit to me.
Home decor. I like it simple and can't stand "wall art," anything country, knick knacks, ruffled curtains, too many patterns, Thomas Kincade, fancy chandeliers or Disney anything.
Suburbia. Grew up there. Never going back.
Tattoos. Sorry, but yuck.
Fast food places and chain restaurants. Only if I'm traveling and that's all there is. Otherwise, no.
I generally agree with Temeku about California haters. There are 49 other states. Go live in one you like and be happy.

I gotta go with chocolate. Cheap chocolate is just yucky except for reese's PB cups.
Coffee.. You won't see me buying Folger's or Maxwell House
Socks and Underwear... Jockeys panties tend to be on the pricey side but they last longer than the cheaper brands. I like the thick socks. Soft and comfty
Certain foods: Spicier cuisine needs to be just that - spicy!
Fried chicken: You simply cannot find GOOD fried chicken here anywhere!
Grooming: To me a woman looks undressed without at least some minimal makeup.
HOA's. I know - I'm a snob against the snobs.
Cocktails served in restaurants and bars that are too "watered down": People pay way too much money to be cheated out of what they pay for. Quit scrimping!
Jeans with holes in them: Do you really want to look poor? What do holes have in common with comfort? (And, yes, I felt this way back in the 60's, too.)
Dogs in certain places: To me they're like kids - they don't belong in some places!
"Nautralists" who smell bad: Yes, I know of a couple who do.
Chocolate. Hershey's tastes like baby vomit to me.
One of my favorite chocolates is right there where you are - Ghirardelli. I miss the standard chocolate bars they used to have, though. Now it's just squares or the squares in BIG bars.

Ghirardelli, love it! What a coincidence you should say that, Bluesmama. I just finished eating a Ghirardelli Square, dark chocolate filled with white mint.
