Worst kind of snobbery

[Fatt Max]

If there is something I hate, its snobbery. and boy have I just had a taste of it...

Sorry guys n gals, gotta have a rant about this one cos I’m still fuming.

Just back from New World in Botany, needed some coke to go with the JD for later so thought I would bike up there cos its not too bad a day.

Grab the coke and head for the ’12 items or less’ queue, stopping to let a 30 something pregnant lady go in front of me. She had a basket, I only have coke.

Anyway, she tosses the lid then me a ‘Down the nose’ look and doesn’t acknowledge my small act of chivalry (whatever) and then calls her mate over with a loud “coo eee, I’m over here Lucinda".

Her mate pushes past me and they start talking. Note that this is only an approximate gist of the conversation but the words in capitals are exactly what was said.

‘So when are you due?”

“Oh, about 3 weeks. PATRICE, MY BIRTHING CONSULTANT” says it’s all looking good”

“Are you having bubs in Auckland Hospital?”

“OH FOR GOODNESS SAKE NO. PATRICE, MY BIRTHING CONSULTANT has booked me into the (poncy sounding name) ECO BIRTHING RETREAT IN PARNELL.”

A bit more convo, then she says it….

“….and there is no way I would ever consider giving birth ay Auckland Hospital, I MEAN, THE NURSES THERE HANDLE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHILDREN AND THERE IS NO WAY I WILL ALLOW MYSELF TO BE VIOLATED LIKE THAT.”

Faaccccckkkk, can you believe this woman would say that….my boy was born in Auckland under very difficult circumstances and the doctors, nurses, midwives etc were just brilliant. And to think this over privileged yuppie has that kind of attitude towards people, it don’t give the kid much of a chance.

I’m still fuming and had to get this off my chest, sorry guys n gals, but people like that are out there....:mad:

[dipshit]

I feel kind of sorry for the idiot that works a 9-to-5 to support the bitch.

Why bother..???

:doh: well you are shopping in Botany. You dont have that problem shopping at pac & save Glen Innes:bleh:. You do see a few shopper try to do runners without paying:niceone:
my wife has had that snobby reaction in clothes shops. Her having black hair.
they dont talk to her and when someone blond walks in they are all over them.
OHHHHHHHHH Misty Blue is on the radio.... I LOVE THIS SONG.

[eliot-ness]

You should have butted into the conversation and said,"Hey, I know that place. It's a vet's clinic. That's where I took the dog to have her pups.":devil2:

Brilliant, pure and simple.....a great retort, wish I's though of it mate....:Punk:

[Gremlin]

Just wait until there are complications, she'll be rushed to auck hospital in a panic... the poor staff won't realise what kind of snob she is tho :mellow:

Imagine the upbringing the poor child is going to have... :blink:

[short-circuit]

You should have started a stomach fight with her

[Usarka]

You should have ate her baby.

[Fatt Max]

Imagine the upbringing the poor child is going to have... :blink:

My point exactly mate. Most probaly brought up to behave like the little tossers you see in Newmaket, pushing their way through people and generally being abusive.

Unfortunately, snobbery is handed down, it's a real shame....:angry2:

[short-circuit]

You should have ate her baby.

Actually yeah - you should have eaten her baby...after you had pulverised her in a stomach fight

[AlBundy]

You'sa gort it all rrong...

He'sa Fatt Max, nort Fat Bustard...

why....would that make up for you having a small dick..........so someone on a motorbike offends a motorist they can feel justified kicking the next bike they see

[RantyDave]

THE NURSES THERE HANDLE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHILDREN AND THERE IS NO WAY I WILL ALLOW MYSELF TO BE VIOLATED LIKE THAT.
So, presumably she thought she might catch being poor from the vaginal secretions of poor women ... indeed, all different kinds of women ... and that the transmission vector will be the nurses themselves? Wow.

Still, what with her up the duff, rich husband will be screwing the au pair in the passenger seat of his porsche before you can say "Jeremy! Really!".

[davereid]

Did she not politely ask you when you expected yours ? :2thumbsup

[wbks]

Kick the bitch in the guts and save nz from another generation of the snobbery being passed down......


....
......

[MisterD]

I don't have a problem with that at all, my first one made his entrance at National Womens' and the next one will too in April. The last thing I want is having to encounter braying moneyed twats like that in the hospital...

Reverse snobbery - the best kind of snobbery. :niceone:

[tri boy]

Meh. Probably was the sth Akld garbo collector that got her knocked up anyway.
Snobs like a bit of rough.:devil2:
Wait till the consultant presents the fruit of Rangi's loins.:first:

[Duke girl]

She sounds so far up herself, God help the poor kid once its born. It takes all sorts to make this world but its up to us as individuals to not lower ourselves down to their levels. Dont ever let someone like her stop you from ever being conciderate towards others as there are plenty of polite and well mannered people out there that would have said thank you for doing what you did and I know I would have.

[Slyer]

Don't you usually let people go before you if they have much less items than you?

[Big Dave]

Did she not politely ask you when you expected yours ? :2thumbsup


And for goodness sake - NEVER pull his finger.

[Eng_dave]

I feel kind of sorry for the idiot that works a 9-to-5 to support the bitch.

Why bother..???

I don't he only works nine to five so he don't have to see the Tampon (stuck up cunt).

:eek5:

[scracha]

Snobbery? Surely you just. I keep getting reminded how there's no class system out here?

[klingon]

Just wait until there are complications, she'll be rushed to auck hospital in a panic...

That's exactly right. I knew a woman who was booked into that place in Parnell to have her baby, but it got complicated so she was immediately transferred to Auckland. Like most private hospitals the Parnell place only handles easy, uncomplicated stuff and the moment it gets tricky they send them to the public hospital anyway.

But to tell the truth, if I could afford to go to the Parnell place (sorry can't remember its name), I would do it. Nice private room, hubby gets to stay too if he wants, excellent food. Actually I might just book in there for my next holiday! :2thumbsup

[Number One]

Ahh snobbery. Exists every where in all forms.

I remember taking a phone call from a bank client who was demanding that the pimple faced teller boy should be put out the back where no one would have to look at him. Now that was an interesting conversation. Probably just as well I rang her back on the 'untapped' phone

[jrandom]

I truly, truly hope that that woman has complications and has to be unceremoniously rushed from her poncy-arse faux hotel room to a proper hospital.

If I was not the loving, zen sort of chap that I am, I might also hope that the impact of the complications was worsened due to the time it took to get her there, leaving her with a disabled child and a lifelong reminder of the price of her snobbery.

But I am pretty loving and zen, and I wouldn't wish such evil on the kid.

Still.

A tastier serving of schadenfreude would be hard to imagine.

I should admit that I did in fact consider Birthcare in Parnell for both of my kids, but we ended up having them at Waitakere Hospital, and I couldn't have wished for better service.

[pixc]

Pfft, when I was in labour, I didnt give a flying fuck about nothing, I just wanted to GET IT OUT! Other then that, my main issue was making sure my partner knew that HE DID THIS TO ME!!!!

Stuck-up tart. I hope its a 12 pound monster! mahahaaaaa

[speights_bud]

falcon punch!

[wbks]

LMFAO thats awesome

[imne1]

like someone else said, you should have gone ahead cos you only had one item.
I always let ppl through who have just the box of beers or whatever, it gives me time to unload all the crap from my basket/trolley etc.
Max you should move to Welly, ppl here are anywhere near so snobby (and I live in Thorndon where the city snoots are) ...hmmm except towards Aucklanders .. ok no just stay there.

[Fatt Max]

Did she not politely ask you when you expected yours ? :2thumbsup

LMFAO, brilliant...great start to the day...:lol:

[Blossom]

The best thing I can say about this lady is thank goodness she will not be sharing a room with any other mothers in Auckland hospital.
They will not have to put up with her crying about her boobs hurting and why hasn't that awful nurse come and bandaged them up so someone else can bottle feed her baby, which she wont pick up yet cause her tummy's still sore and the baby is all gross and covered in muck still. Then when its 3 in the morning and someone else's baby crys miss uptight wont be there ringing the nurse demanding loudly that they keep their baby quiet. Neither will she have loud rude guests who disturb other familys, and generally be a pain in the nurses arse... good riddince to the cow,
oh and I hope she has the baby on christmas day. :bleh:

[jonbuoy]

Theres nothing more tragic than desperate housewife wannabes.

[ynot slow]

As a farmer I once worked for said,well after 150 cows have calved what's one more.

[fire eyes]

by the 30th hour of labour she wont give a shit if santa delivers the bub hahahaha :lol: (I know what 30 hours of labour feels like, the exorcist becomes a close likeness lol)

pay no mind to that bullshit Maxx, in the free world people can still choose to live by thier own core values regardless of how shallow they may be, such is life!

That, sir, would be barking up the wrong fence. It would be a lot more proper to kick the greenest and eco-friendliest hybrid in the parking lot because tree-hugging is all the rage among the hypocrites this season.

On the side note, those mad chicks are obsessed with all things natural/organic. She will not look pretty after 24 hours of purely natural eco-friendly labour w/o epidural.

[Big Dave]

Now that I think of it max - I have been in a similar situation - different circumstance and some time ago - but same wimmens.

I just naturally joined in the conversation - as Groucho.

'I don't blame you - our gynecologists rooms were so small - even the mice were hunchbacks - you had to go outside to change your mind - he put the key in the waiting room door and broke the window.'

Silence ensued.
