snob litmus test

[PepperElf]

Just thinking about one of my former coworkers and a conversation that took place while at work.



C-Snob: I'm not a snob! Am I a snob?
Me: C-Snob, so how many times did you pay people to clean your barracks room for you again?
C-Snob: How many different people, or how many times I had someone do it?
Coworker: The fact you have to ASK that pretty much answers the question.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I think you mean "slob". ;-)

Reminds me of basic training and tech school. Some of us were better at ironing uniforms, sewing hems, others at shining boots, so we'd either trade or pay someone to do it for us. I did uniforms for X number of booth shinings. Some people just had that special touch.

Well... no, C-Snob wasn't unkept, he was just lazy and wanted to get others to do his work for him.
and he liked bragging about what he had

I'd gladly do mending work for the whole barracks if they'd take care of my ironing and boot-shining. I hote both those chores with a passion (can do them, just hate them), but sewing is quite soothing.
