    I have a friend who is a HUGE snob. If anything isn't chic enough for her, it's instantly beneath her concern. This includes not only restaurants, fashion etc. but people. I've never seen anyone who equated strictly following social norms with morality in such a blatant way.

    I admit that I'm a snob too, but at least I don't see everyone and everything which doesn't share my supposedly high standards as unworthy of my valuable time.

    Any good way to de-snobify someone?

    get her really drunk, maybe even roofie her and get some very large man to penetrate her anally
    she will no longer be a snob
    if she is, do it again and take pictures
    if she is again still not de-snobbed than i'd say there is no hope for her


    or you could just..like..sit down and like..talk with her..or something...

    Perhaps go on a friends roadtrip together. Meet people living different lives than your own. Talk to them :)

    Ive always thought that being a snob had to be horribly exhausting...the constant worry about how you look and if your in the right place and what your friends might think of you.....I dont think theres a way to cure snobbery...I think its just a part of that persons personality.

    you miss out on a LOAD of cool shit being a snob. snobbery comes in all kinds of types, though. seems like everyone has something they consider beneath them. i don't have the time for that. i wanna see, i wanna do!

    Everyone's a snob about what their passionate about.

    But is she's too obsessed with trends, then shes going to miss out on a lot.

    I recommend having taking her to do something exhilarating, where she'll get nice and dirty. I can think of dozens of things. That'll knock the snob right out of a person.

    Snobs are people so insecure with their own lack of class that they compensate by looking down their noses at others.

    how very true. To think you are above a nother human being, is well, lack of intelligence and class

    my ex old lady bought a doney and burke purse one time for like 250 dollars and i was like"howd you get the money for that" and she was like "my paycheck". she spent her entire gas station paycheck on a purse.

    IT WAS UGLY AS FUCK TOO! it had a whole bunch of stupid ass "DB" ALL OVER IT AND IT just felt like some plastic purse.\\

    after i told her that she cried.

    wow. i thought paying $50 for a purse i'd been eyeing for months was bad. i still have it and i bought it almost 20 years ago. it's still really cool.

    errr my comment will make me look a bit dumb but, I will anyways. My purse was 100$, and the one before that was too. but I got it a year ago. And I do think it is a bit ridiculous. I am not ashamed to admit I do ridiculous things. I would pay 50 now, because I am a very very broke college student.

    ... But I do see how it is such a purely materialistic thing..I wouldnt cry over it.

    i love my purse. i drag it out every now and then. it's still really pretty and it still has hard corners, so i can bludgeon someone to death with it if i have to.

    Bring out the freak in her, then she won't know the difference between K-Mart and Ralph Lauren. Make love to her in the bathroom at a safeway. Then you each steal something you like.

    I have known some snobs in my time...it usually had to do with money. Pesonally, I come from dirt-poor roots, so it made me feel uncomfortable to be around any of them.


    Ask your friend if her trendy clothing loves her as much as she loves it..:D
