Friends
You are a snob who snobs herself? You’d think that if you want to show people how they should be acting, then at least set an example. Unless you just like to sit back and complain about how everyone else is living so you can take an opportunity to talk about yourself…subtly.
“Look at me! I have a large TV, but it’s soooo humiliating to display it, yet I still do. Don’t you just haaaate it when people try to show off their wealth? I mean, it was a present for my husband, so it’s not the same thing.”
Looking over the comments on the Atheists are Snobs article is depressing to see just how many people actually seem to accept everything V says as fact. I guess V didn’t completely prove her friend wrong after all.
I find V amusing but I’m not one to rely on her for my opinions. Hell, I think some of her other (real) articles are bullshit. But as most people’s mother’s say, if everyone was the same the world would be a very boring place.
More on topic though, I’ve noticed lately just how much of a snob I am, which makes the timing of this article strange. I’ve thought it over some though, and come to the conclusion that it’s about 75% due to the fact that most of the people I know are flaming retards and 25% due to the fact that I’m full of myself.
As I grow older I’m noticing more and more just how stupid people really are, which I guess helps justify my snobbery. Anway, good article.
“Oh but it was all a joke a-hahahahaha. What, you don’t think it’s funny? I think I’m ever so witty.”
Where have I heard that before? Oh yeah. Cheap high school drama queens.
Man, my tendency to take the opinions of people on the internet on board as life advice has certainly taken quite a bashing! V sure showed us lame internet masses that’s she’s great.
Voting 1- ONE FOR NUMBER ONE, LETS HEAR IT WOO
Wow V, you sure are clever. No, really.
VA is not a snob, not really. She seems a little confused, with her laid back friends and the snooty friends and the big tv and monster trucks, etc. Yow, identity crisis anyone?
I find it interesting that she say she looks down on people who have above ground pools. As a real estate investor she must know that in most cases inground pools lower home values. Therefore, is it not more logical to be snobby toward those who choose to degrade their property’s market value?
I don’t think goofing on stupidity is snobbery, nor is mocking or shunning people who act like jerks. How PC is it to define being anti-snob as a form of snobbery- pleassse.
It is also interesting that she defends working class people but didn’t seem to mind the absolute stupidity of the comments made about the cannon girl by snob friends. If any brain cells fired off, anyone would realize how ridiculous it is to compare stunt work to unskilled minimum wage work. Cannon girl is no doubt getting paid very well to do something very few of us could.
I just think VA is too smart to be that kind of snobby-stupid, but kind of wants to be but not really.
kimO, how come inground pools lower the value of a home? that is interesting
Wow, V.
Your self-loathing is palpable. What do you think would happen if you stopped punishing yourself? Would you fall apart?
Maybe you would, for a time. But you’re a phoenix. You know this.
Just suck it up and stop being so arrogant. If you could just man the fuck up and ask for *help* you might actually find some peace for once.
Time to rewrite the narrative in your head. Because what you’re playing at now will most certainly destroy you :/
Wow, V.
Your self-loathing is palpable. What would happen if you stopped with crap? However terrifying it will be to change, to stop animating this sad, tough-chick puppet, the work would be *worth it*.
Because this holding pattern of self-flagellation you’re in only keeps alive that scared little girl that mommy kicked around, but you’re doing the kicking. You’ve split yourself in to. And you *know* it because you’re *smart*.
Get off your intellectual high-horse because it can’t do anything for you. If you could just trade in your arrogance and trust that someone out there is competent enough to hold a safe space for you to work through your shit, you might - just might! - find some peace before you shuffle off this mortal coil.
Because what you’re playing at now will most certainly destroy you :/
Her self proclaimed obsession with politeness makes me think Hannibal Lector is her role model.
You guys crack me up with your heated, longwinded opinion posts.
OMG V YOU ARE A SNOB, BUT YOU ARE NOT A SNOB, WOE IS INTERNET! (I’d type out 26 more paragraphs to make it really obvious I’m mocking you guys, but I’m pretty lazy.)
I have always thought V was hypocritical, but she is so entertaining. I think we all are hypocrites in one way or another. Everyone has their beliefs that clash with their stereotypes that clashes with their religious beliefs that is different from what they were told in 3rd grade. She is so appealing to us and we read her because on some level we all love and loathe her at the same fucking time.
God, this post just made me want to punch V in the face.
Actually, I took the last post as a nice discussion with other people. I read her post and thought “she does/is/claims/claimed to be all that, and came right here to see what was to be said. I find this site most enjoyable. I could care less what V’s opinions are of things. I agree with some things she says, and I strongly disagree with others.

^I’m glad she’s got a role model! ;)
Chelsey — This can’t be the first time. ;D
andyz: You’re right, we ARE all hypocrites at some point in our lives. It’s human nature. V’s pretty awesome for acknowledging her own.
So many people think they are above hypocrisy, and their ignorance on the matter just implies they have no self-insight.
I wouldn’t turn my back on you unless you stopped amusing me, and that last post was very amusing, thanks for the laugh.
I think it is time for you to engineer another e-spat.
Wha? V is just one big e-spat.
Whatever the fuck that is…
Is that some sort of human-polar bear chimera?
Oh, good grief. The readers should buck the fuck up, but this post is pretty ridiculous. I’m not liking the trend of V having to explain every post she puts up because people are getting offended. Guess what V, you offend people… and that’s part of the reason I read this blog in the first place. Stop being such a pansy and tell your story. People can take it or leave it; don’t keep ruining it with posts like these.
I still think VA mocked atheist WoW players!
A bit of a let-down to explain the joke afterwards… If most people don’t get self-sarcasm, it’s their loss.
What I wrote in the Snobby Atheism part about Karma might apply to something here, too. I never understood those who are rude or arrogant towards people who serve them in shops and places. I might be arrogant, but I am arrogant equally to all. But if I do get served, that person is worth to me much more than a guy with a 2000€ suit in front of me. Still I try to treat the guy in the suit in the same manner as the person who is kind enough to sell me beer.
Actually that guy is more likely to start some annoying shouting over nothing and bothering and delaying my calm beer-purchases on me way to home than the person behind the kassa. I never understood why people expect _better_ service if they shout? I used to work in a cafe, and if you would start being an arsehole, boy, it takes quite a long time to serve that cold coffee. Yes, I am too dumb to serve it to you hot. I don’t mind re-doing it 7 times. Do you mind waiting to get the coffee when your friends are already leaving? On the other hand, I would not get fired if I behave like an arsehole towards an arsehole. That’s Europe, baby.
When getting served, rule number one. If you forget everything else, the only rule you need to remember: Never ever ever ever f*ck with the person who serves your food/drink/anything that requires preparing or has to be fetched from the back room.
Besides, it is way too complicated to start any prejudices towards people who speak to you. Before you prove to me that you can discuss about world history, religions, philosophy, physics, chemistry I will treat you the same way as everyone else. Friendly, but I don’t expect much.
It’s easier than to start thinking “am I above or lower than this guy? Hm. My clothes are nicer, but he has A Brief History of Time in his hands. Oh, and he has a paintbrush sticking out his backbag, but I have a camera.” Too difficult. Treating everyone the same is the easiest way. Plus you get some interesting responses from time to time when you are the only smiley, happy and polite person the whole day. (Next time in any govermental office, go to the clerk and say “How are _you_ on this glorious day?!” You’ll be out in 10 minutes + the chit-chat time and the official will get you all the forms you need in no-time and gives you a little inside how to fill the form for better results.)
And treating everyone the same friendly way you hear much more interesting stories. I don’t like to give 50 cents to a beggar on the street. I don’t want to buy my place in Heaven for 50 cents. That’s arrogance. Besides, it’s difficult to see who sleeps on the streets and who sleeps in bed. In some areas begging is quite lucrative business. Rather, I buy you a pint and you tell me stories of your life. I’m sure your life has been much more interesting than someone’s who’s parents decided everything for him. That way you get something that is worth more than 50 cents and I become more rich than I already am. Win-win situation.
^Sami, you sound like a cool person, and I like your philosophy.
A friend of mine suggested once that it should be required of all people to have a job serving people. This friend believed that if all people could understand what it’s like, they might treat people that serve them better. (Serve as in restaurants, as well as *any* type of “Customer Service”) I viewed this as a bit flawed, since not all people are alike, and I doubt it would make a difference to most people in the slightest. Because people are jackasses.
Wall of Text hits you for 269875 (Crushing).
You die.
A Monster Truck Rally? Go ahead and get a mullet, while you’re at it.
Well I think people who think they are better than their food servers should just go ahead and be rude to them. Really, really rude and nasty, just do it. Because you are so above them they would not dare mishandle your food, master. That’s right. :)
Congratulations on being mentioned in the Wall Street Journal. Regrettably it was buried in a feature about Dooce, but on the bright side it was free exposure to a whole new class of elitist snobs.

You’re not a true snob V. You try too hard. True snobs (and people who have earned their right to be snobs) would never EVER allude to the fact that they are wealthy. It’s classless. Sorry. You wouldn’t survive 10 minutes at the country club, they’d eat you alive.
