You Know You're a Pretentious Snob If...

<p>I personally like pretentious people and feel one needs to be somewhat of a pretentious snob to set high goals. Anyways, I’ll start:</p>

<p>You know you’re a pretentious snob if…</p>

<li>You call something “trite”</li>
</ol>

<p>Who’s got #2?</p>

2

<p>2) You have a fake laugh</p>

3

<ol>
<li>For you, the HS grading system goes as follows:
A+ excellent
A good
A- average
<B fail</li>
</ol>

4

<ol>
<li>You’re always on CC posting about your less-than-amazing 2400 SAT score.</li>
</ol>

5

<ol>
<li> If you think you’re simply “better” than most people.</li>
</ol>

6

<ol>
<li>If you dominate the discussion (in any social setting) with details about yourself.</li>
</ol>

<p>I’m pretty much guilty of all charges.</p>

7

<p>^ Uhh…</p>

8

<p>8.) If your under 5’5"</p>

9

<p>^^^LOL. That is hilarious.</p>

<p>9) You secretly judge people who want to go into blue-collar or similar work, even if they will make more as an electrician than you will sitting at a desk in a cubicle.</p>

10

<p>10) You post on College Confidential</p>

11

<p>11) if you think you deserve an undeserved favor.</p>

12

<p>12) You don’t comment on my photos on facebook when I ask you to, or don’t visit my blog. :D</p>

13

<p>13) you think you’re smart by CC standards.</p>

14

<p>“If your under 5’5"”</p>

<p>I don’t get it… :/</p>

15

<p>^I’m guilty of that one too. Short people have to impress others with their attitudes, since the size obviously won’t do the trick.</p>

16

<p>Okay, I get it now.</p>

<p>I thought he may have been suggesting that Asians are pretentious. Ha ha.</p>

17

<p>

</p>

<p>Agreed x 10. I think that fulfills the definition of the term.</p>

18

<p>^I mention that because I used to feel that way in Middle School for some reason, and then I got over it. For real. We had yard work done (taking out a tree), and the person went to Harvard and runs a cookie business on the side. I felt like a jerk after I found that out.</p>

19

<p>My 9th grade history teacher was a Harvard grad. When I found out, I asked him why he was teaching at a crappy public…lol
I don’t feel that way anymore, though. I definitely respect professionals of all fields, no matter where they went to college.</p>

<p>14) You type in “if your under 5’5"” and don’t bother to fix your typo because you’re too good for editing :]</p>
