Are you coming off as snobby to your neighbors and friends? Nobody wants to be perceived as someone who looks down on others. Here is some snobbery you may not realize comes off as condescending. 

The Effects of Charter School and Home School

Looking Down on Tourists Visiting the Beehive State 

If you live around any of the many National Parks in Utah, it can be easy to look down on the people visiting. This is ironic since the state benefits from these visitors' dollars spent while here.
