What makes a Pakistani a wannabe SNOB???

There is a cheap product, there is a good quality product, and then there are expensive brands. One should go for good quality, I will buy one instead of 3 for that. But jumping into the whole battle arena of brands, thats crap. Unless perhaps one has SERIOUS money to piss around, in which case, they should keep their mouth shut at least.

Alot of the very high end designer brands speak for themselves (if u label is visible) so there is no need to say “Do u like my handbag, it’s GOOOCHEEE!”. I think if people feel the need to drop names and prices into the conversation to ensure that u know they have spent alot on the items, they r probably insecure.

@bebo

Who call their husbands hubby. Hate this word.

Now this is a totally new one. Never heard that being snobby, is this in Pakistan u mean?

LOL.. I like this thread.

I have an aunty.. she loves brand names (which isn’t bad in itself, even though I don’t like them myself) AND she looks down on people who buy non-branded stuff - that just ANNOYS me.. like wth, whats it to you if I choose not to wear brands ALSO, she never ever ever fails to mention the PRICE of anything she is talking about.. for example, her daughter has a baby and she says to my mom, “ohh we all went shopping before visiting the hospital.. not one of us spent less then £200 on the baby stuff” (and then goes into detail about each dress/pyjama bought.. costing a bomb each).. like wth lady, did we ask for your reciept?! One time that really annoyed me was when she said something like “OHHHH we spent all day painting our bench.. you know, some people don’t even have a chair in their garden.. we have a bench” I mean, mubaarak ho, you have a bench, ab chup kar ke bait jao uss par. And she refuses to speak in anything but english to her grandson, even though she can’t speak it.. but apparently, she wants him to learn nothing but english.. sad!

So yeah.. going on and onnnn about themselves/how rich they are/how much £ they spend etc etc.. and the worst thing, looking down on people who can’t or don’t want to do as much.. equals being a SNOB.

People like that annoy me. Again I think it’s down to insecurity. This aunty of yours needs to be thrown away in the rubbish bin - a designer one of course, that cost £500 - bcos she’s worth it. BTW - i have a neighbour like this, I wonder if she is the same woman?
