College freshmen in a psychology course.
I dated a girl last year who was involved with horses, specifically show jumping. I met the most pretentious self involved people I have ever met in my life at the horse shows I went to with her. I thought I was taking part in some sort of mockumentary.

Coffee snobs.
I live in a country that drinks mainly tea. So I needed to google how to make coffee, how much ground coffee to use in a French press per person, how do you use a moka pot etc.
You would not believe how snobby and pretentious the google results were. It was insane. The results were all "how to use a moka pot: Don't. But if you're a sadist or fucking pleb that loves the bitter taste of shit burnt coffee I guess here's how... Take the finest fairtrade Ecuadorian beans handpicked by virgins on the 3rd Saturday of May, grind them in your 18th Century ebony grinder, if you don't use within 15 minutes throw them out and start again...."
It's a group you probably haven't heard of...

Because, you know, there is positively nothing pretentious to be found among tea drinkers, no, nothing at all like tea ceremonies ritualized to the hilt, and not a regular hilt either, nothing at all so ritualized to the hilt of a katana sword, that's how not ritualized tea is. <-- lie. reverse psychology, right there, that's sarcasm.
Then on the other side of two oceans, the water temperature for tea must be boiled till it whistles just so and poured into another pre-heated pot for actual serving, then steeped in individual cups without tea bags from tea leaves chosen just so from bushes grown just so with branches trimmed just so, and then only the newest freshest baby leaves will do that are fermented just so until blackened just so, and served in and with special implements for the specific purpose of showing off tea, cups, saucers, special spoons, with sugar pressed into cubes and cream from cows fed on only green pastures and available only certain times of year.
No, tea is that crap you dip in prepackaged tiny bags with strings from faucet water turned onto hot as it will go and that's it. Simplest of all things, most untarnished with presumption of all the refreshing beverages, that tea.
Make the coffee STRONG so it does the job.
Yes, that job.
Everything else coffee related is superfluous.
East coast WASP's I find to be the most pretentious.
Lefties.

Pretentiousness is the delusion that you know something important that others should appreciate, so it's actually a demonstration of ignorance about something that is important. It makes you look dumb.
Professors.
Anyone we know?

It is a vestigial attitude from old Blighty, not fully examined in "A Fish Called Wanda."
Chip, you're gonna burn in a special hell for that tea sacrilege. The special hell with waitresses who stand and gossip with other wait staff while the tea steeps for too long.
