Pretent-ass-ness Phrases

I asked a fellow employee if they watched a TV show the prior night and they retorted with, "I don't own a television." There happen to be certain phrases which you can not say, without sounding like a pretentious poop. "I don't own a television," just happens to be high up on that list.
I tried to think of as many of these phrases that I could.... here is a list that would make even Veruca Salt cringe.
- The book was better.
- I drink my coffee black, because I actually like the taste of coffee.
- Is your produce locally grown?
- Your jewelry isn't made out of blood diamonds is it?
- Nothing I buy is tested on animals.
- I can't remember the last time I ate fast food
- You let your kids drink soda?
- I like camping because I like to get away from it all.
- My dog is a rescue
- How have you never heard of this band?
- I only buy things made in America
- I went to a film festival over the weekend
- I prefer privately owned establishments
- I don't own a cellphone
- I voted
- Sorry I am late. I ran into my yoga instructor
- I am not really into sports
- I'm not excited when I meet movie stars... they're just regular people.
Well, that's all I got for now, but I am sure there is a lot more to come. If you would like to be able to read more, or if you would like to suggest some, feel free to follow @Pretentassness Yes I did just create that twitter account. I'm coming for you @Humblebrag Wait a second, is my idea too similar to Humblebrag? AHH FUCK IT....
The end
