I like humor as well as anyone else and one incident might be laughable--in a shrugging you off sort of way. But, seriously, it has little to do with eggs.
She asked, she might just want to reconsider her approach. I'm sure she's a good person. Why hide it with a high and mighty, snobby attitude? And probably a contrived one at that.
Well I agree. But I just see it as prissy.

Oh like rudely putting "period" at the end of your statement?
I like to hear opinions. And since you don't know me you can't really say who I am. A lot of communication facilitators are lost in type. And as you said, its how you say it.

So op...you being too dead serious when you say these things? Making sour puss face? Cause those are the only two things I don't do. With the food is crap thing I make it a fact because well...I judge it by that and share those facts.
I don't share your shoe snobbery. I love great deals and find that brands are not always indicative of quality.
Nothing wrong with being a snob of any kind. The problem is when you try to depict yourself as such. It comes across as contrived, as if you're trying to impress someone with your wonderful taste. But the price is too high. Just enjoy your snobbery and let others enjoy theirs. I'm a coffee snob, but I don't put down others choices in coffee to build myself up. That's the difference. I'm sure it's probably an age related thing in this instance. Let's hope.
I'm disappointed in you as a fellow coffee snob. Jamaican blue or bust! LOL
Maybe as something social that would be a healthy way to engage in personal challenges with food snobbery would to go to like minds. Attend coffee and wine tastings. They love to hash it out about aspects of beverage and whats "the best". Getting out that aggressive side in the appropriate setting may tame it down for other settings.
Sunflower, the world doesn't give a rat's arse what you like. Seriously. If you can't say something nice, or you can't express your tastes in a way that is not snotty, condescending, insulting, hurtful, or offensive to others, shut up.
Oh, was that tactless of me? Tsk. I thought I was being straightforward and direct."
REP! REP! REP! REP! You deserve a gazillion for this post, Yzette!!!!!

No no no, there are far too many to choose just one; La Minita Terrazu... Sumatra... among others. It's brands I'm a snob over. Kaladi Bros. is the best I've ever had--so far.

True, but the difference is, they go there with that expectation or intention.
I'm I really conceited and if so is that a terrible trait to have?

I second everything you said. Sometimes a straightforward and direct comment to your friends make you look like a snot, spoiled brat, or worse...
I don't believe this for one second. In some cases, it's parental upbringing. In some cases, it's rebellion against their upbringing. Some people simply see no value in social graces as it's a complete waste of their time!

Can't blame parents for everything. At some point they break away and reinvent themselves. Buck the system.
