I used to be a lot snarkier. Working in the hospitals in Texas toned it down a lot for me. The Texas population didn’t have the same sense of sarcasm I had grown up around, so I had to adjust accordingly.
I feel like I should rephrase. I have a lot of snark in me, but I typically don't express it until someone really get to know me and I know they can handle it. I tend to give most people I don't know well the benefit of the doubt. I'm actually a pretty nice person...I think. I just love Lucille Bluth and had to gif her!
I second you. I'm in HR so I have to turn on the charm and be nice, even when the requests are crazy and repetitive. But I also get called with grown men yelling BULLSHIT at me for needing to have their picture taken, so at times I have to tell them verbally how wrong they are lol. I work in manufacturing industry. It's interesting.
ETA- But also changed my pic after I made this comment under cover now.
My day job includes kissing asses all day and doing shit people should be able to do on their own. I don’t do it unless I’m getting paid. I wasn’t the snarkiest on my last bmb but they were my people.
I truly am a very nice person and my number one goal as a teacher is teaching my students kindness above all else. But I just can’t hold back the snark some days. I was so excruciatingly shy in my youth that I often was just trampled all over so somewhere in my early 20s I grew a backbone and started sticking up for myself and learned that from time to time you just have to unleash the bitch! I also don’t like fake and I don’t like to sift through bullshit so if I sniff some I’m probably going to call you on it.
In real life, my level of snark is directly connected to my level of exhaustion. The more exhausted I am, the more snark that comes out. On these boards, I hold back the snark, but that could change.

Re: GTKY: How snarky are you?
I was much less snarky before I had my kid I think or at least I hid it better.
They don't call me a bog monster for nothin'.
In actuality, I try to be kind, I just get tired of dancing around for ninnies.

Externally I'm too much of a people pleaser/confrontation avoider. Unfortunately.
