Me, a SNOB..
A man told me off for being a snob today. Hmm.. there's always a first!
Was at NETTO, the kind of supermarket that sells no frills stuff. If a bag of cooking onions in Safeway,say can costs you from 89 to 119pence, in NETTO it will only cost you just a fraction of the price at about 39p. So, low income students and people like me, would be satisfied to do shopping in joints like these. The odd trips to Safeway, would just be dedicated to 'special occasions' shopping.
Anyway, I was just about to put in a one pound coin into the slot of one of trolleys at Netto, when I saw two cans of beer lying in it. Eeeeeeee..no way am I going to remove those cans.. I did what anybody would do ( i guess),- take another trolley from another aisle. There were two men, standing just beside the trolley with the empty cans. He saw my second take and he thought that I didn't know how to pull the trolley out. I simply said that I'm just goin to take another trolley because there are beer cans in the first trolley. And the man just told me.. 'You're a snob'! ..Eehhh...maner ada!!! ...I retaliated and said 'No, I'm not!! Then, he immediately said...'No, you are alrite'. As I pulled the new trolley out, I stopped and told him, 'I'm not a snob, I'm just being lazy'. I think he kinda feel guilty that he uttered some kind words after that.
All in all, even if he was just teasing me, maybe he did mean what he said..to some extend. Ok la, maybe I was being a snob, am a snob, but then again isn't everyone? We are all snobs at one point or another, we just don't realize it- it's just part of human nature. What differentiates one snob to another degree of snobbiness.
