Once? You must never look at U.S. sushi menus. Outside of a few very high-end restaurants, that kind of roll is ubiquitous, along with others just as bad. Obviously, its presence on a menu signals that the restaurant is not 100% devoted to Japanese culture or to providing an authentic Japanese sushi experience.
Ok, I’ll admit to needing to hold back from judging people on their movie tastes. I need the script to make sense and not pander to emotions.
But I hope the grammar freaks can bend a little for different situations. I might be snobby about anyone expecting perfection in a fast response context such as CC. It’s different, of course, when a kid posts about desperation for a tippy top but can’t write properly. Other then that, we can give a little.
@hebegebe Are you my older son? He scoured the internet almost ten years ago for the Model M he’s got. I love the way it sounds!
Yes. Please send money. I now accept BitCoin.
I am a cookware and kitchen knife snob. I can’t believe how many people have super high end kitchens with professional level appliances, and yet cook with the equivalent of a tin cans and gas station giveaway knives. It’s gotten so bad that I’ve been known to bring my own knives when going to share vacation homes or visiting my siblings.
@twoinanddone Have you tried Italian tuna in glass jars? It’s a whole nother world and you won’t go back to canned again. This brand is delicious:

When we go to local seafood restaurants my husband has been known to bring his own stick of butter. He hates the oily stuff they claim is butter and is not. I have told him I’m quite certain he has eaten spit along with his real butter.
Add me to the knife brigade. I bring my own knives to vacation places when I can.
I have a friend who has top of the line cookware, loves to cook, bit of a snob about food in general and yet doesn’t own a knife that will cut anything. It drives me nuts!
Getting ready to go to work this morning, I noticed that 50% of my work wardrobe is Max Mara. I guess I am their clothes snob! 
I am a produce snob, particularly potatoes. I prefer excellent, fresh produce prepared well. Unfortunately, when others cook, it rarely meets my standards. Therefore I cook for myself!
I would love to be in @Lindagaf’s book club.

I am an anti Disney snob. I have been as a child and can not understand why anyone would go there rather than to a real place with a different culture or natural beauty. (Not a popular opinion, I know.)[\quote]
Count my family on your side. I remember when my oldest son came home from kindergarten wanting to know what Disney World was. I explained it to him as a “large playground with lots of fun rides, and characters from the Disney movies, and lots of people and fun” and his comment was “It sounds like a living hell.” We have never been.
@lookingforward I saw that!
@zoosermom feel free to steal my idea! Lol.
Ha! I am an anti-Disney snob too!
When D started second grade, and reported on how she spent her summer she said “We went to seven national parks and no theme parks”. That’s my girl.
@lololu-- " We have never been." (to Disney World)
How can you be a snob about something of which you have no experience?
@TatinG – “When D started second grade, and reported on how she spent her summer she said “We went to seven national parks and no theme parks”. That’s my girl.”
I think that is GREAT going to the national parks. But don’t be surprised when your kid takes a tour later of all the great theme parks too.
I don’t LOVE Disney, and have only been a couple of times. But I see some of the attraction, and have had some very good times there. It can be “all in” so all you are thinking about is having fun - no cooking, easy transportation, etc. I agree that this is one where if you’ve never been, you really are being a snob if you talk it down. (But I do agree that adults in Disney garb will be judged!)
I shouldn’t have gone back and scrolled through this thread. It’s somewhat humorous how snooty I actually am about a lot of things. Moreover, things that used to pass muster will now be viewed through a “snob” lens:).
I’m an anti-snob snob. If you look down on the people of Walmart, I’m gonna judge you.
Canned veggies, fast food, margarine, cheap beer, polyester, imitation leather–all OK with me.
Go ahead and use “me” as a subject.
But don’t use “I” as an object, because that’s what people who think they’re educated do.
And don’t give me any artificial sweeteners–
only real sugar or high-fructose corn syrup will do.
Ok, reading through all these pages, I realize I am a snob, an anti-kid snob. I can’t stand kids in restaurants, airplanes, or public places (basically anywhere I am) in general. If they are completely silent and still, well OK, but if they make a peep or move more than two feet away from a parent, I’m closing my eyes and going to my happy place. If I have the option, I will move or leave a place as soon as I spot a kid. Babies are worse.
As for grammar, I stopped looking at any of my previous posts long ago as I’ve made the most egregious errors and not all due to haste or autocorrect. So, everyone on CC gets a big grammar pass from me.
Fast food/chain restaurants.
Ice cream/dairy/butter.
DH and I are movie theater snobs. We only go to local theaters with comfortable seats where you can buy tickets ahead of time online and choose your seats. We always like to sit in the middle of the theater, not too far back. And we like a particular chain in our area that sells yummy caramel corn, in addition to the usual popcorn and candy. The cost of the tickets is higher than normal, but totally worth it to us.
