15 everyday things people are snobs about
You don’t have to go full Hyacinth Bucket to be a snob; you can, for example, be laid back and inclusive about everything, but silently – or not – look down upon your fellow humans for the quality of teabags they buy or how they take up a parking space at the supermarket.
Director, Duncan Jones, clearly recognises this simple fact, because he asked Twitter this question:
Name something you are a snob about.
I’ll go first. Bad quality toilet paper.— Duncan Jones (@ManMadeMoon) June 18, 2019
He definitely has a point about the toilet paper – go three-ply or go home. Here are some of our favourites from the many many replies sent to him by the budding Hyacinths of Twitter.

Mashed potatoes. If you say you're making the mashed potatoes then go to cupboard and pull out a box we are going to physically fight. https://t.co/aeuCehd7bG

The incorrect use of apostrophes in decades. e.g. 70’s, 80’s etc. There is absolutely NO situation in which It would be correct. 70s, 80s etc please.

Tea, has to be from back home in Blighty (or at least Tetley/PG Tips packed here).
As a Brit in the US, I can confirm that the tea here is shite. Liptons is an abomination.

Sharp cheddar cheese. All brands are not created equal, it can't be too tart but it can't be too milky tasting. Has to have a perfect blend and be cut not too thick and not too thin or else it is TRASH! https://t.co/l3EVenczIX
