[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I endured an afternoon with a few moms where one mom kept going on and on about how lucky and priviledged she was. I couldn't help but think how delusional they were. What's bothering me, though, is why does their delusion bug me so much? I shouldn't care, right? Would people like this bother you?[/quote]

They're being snobs because they think they're so much better than the people around them.  Being grateful is awesome, humble bragging about stuff is snotty.  It's probably hitting your snob buttons because you have a different perspective on what it takes to be rich. (By any chance are you more educated or wealthier or more sophisticated than they are? Do they fail to recognize how much better you are than them?)  This happens to me sometimes.  It's worth an eyeroll and a laugh, both at them and myself. People are funny and we get all bent out of shape about stuff.

OP again. I don't think I'm better than them, or anyone for that matter. I like to think that I'm pretty down to earth. I purposely didn't tell them anything about myself and let them run amok with their strange assumptions because I think it would have made the situation even more uncomfortable and awkward for me. What I don't understand is, if they watch television or go online, they have to know that they aren't at the top of any heap, so why the snob attitude? They don't live in the toniest part of town or their city. Maybe they don't live outside of their own little world?

I agree with everyone that this shouldn't bother me. No skin off my nose. Maybe it's like if you meet a woman who thinks all men are flirting with her because she's sooo pretty, but she really isn't and no one's interested. It's the self delusion part that irks me.[/quote]
