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....

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

Why bother..???

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."

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

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

[short-circuit]

You should have started a stomach fight with her

[Usarka]

You should have ate her baby.

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....

[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

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!".

Did she not politely ask you when you expected yours ?
