People who post black and white or heavily filtered selfies on Facebook along with some vomit-inducing caption (copied and pasted) talking about ‘women lifting each other up’ and ‘polishing our crowns’ or some such guff, and then tagging more of their mates to do the same. Especially when they’re 40+.

Strapless wedding dress. (Looks like you're wearing a bath towel when you sit behind a table.) Biting nails in public. Holding knife like a pencil. Your when it should be you're. (Tip-if you're trying to say you are, its you're. The apostrophe indicates the missing letter.) Brought when it should be bought. (They mean completely different things.) Tattoos, smug slim women, lip fillers.

'Women wearing/ posting about their breast milk jewellery.'

Quite

Please verse yourself with diamonds and carat knowledge

People with a tv in the bedroom.

@NobodyPuttsBabyinCorner

Everything

I can usually nail someone's persona and interests by way they present themselves. It makes everything impossible to avoid judging!

But if you want specifics, people who:

Drive an SUV
Own a hot tub
Think they've 'visited' a country despite never leaving an all-inclusive resort
Gin drinkers
Display even the tiniest interest in reality tv
People with zero knowledge of the world, history, science etc
Brexit voters
Conservatives
Posting endless updates on Fb of all the 'must be seen' places they've been
Thinking 'gardening' is paving over the entire garden with slabs/astro turf
Mongrel (sorry 'pedigree') owners of cockapoos, labradoodles etc
Anyone with a Live Laugh Love type motif in their home
Like football

Basically.... feckless, uneducated, closed minded, narcissistic show offs

Gin drinkers?!!!!

I’m with you on lots of your list, though you missed out people who hold their cutlery like a pen and litter droppers.

But gin drinkers, that hurts.

MarthasGinYard · 15/01/2021 19:17

'People with a tv in the bedroom.'

Particularly if it rises out of some hideous faux leather/crushed grey velvet sleigh bed.

alecguinnessgenuineclass · 15/01/2021 19:17

Spitting on the street. It happens all the time where I live (south london) and I find it so revolting. Especially during a pandemic!!

AmoElCafe · 15/01/2021 19:18

parents should have saved enough money to ensure one of them could look after the baby for the first few months. I do judge anyone who can't even spend 6 months with a baby. Children do need to learn independence, but so young?

A 10 month old is a baby though isn’t it? Or a 12 month old?
None of mine have been to nursery for various reasons, just started pre school at 3 (which I’ve also been judged for 🙄) but I cannot understand judging people for using childcare to allow them to keep a roof over their child’s head.

@Georgyporky
People with dogs using foodbanks.
They could buy food for the family if they didn't buy dog food.
Or, kill 2 birds with one stone......

I always give dog food to the food bank. I had this ethical debate with my then 9 year old. People can fall on hard times. They already have a dog, what are you expecting them to do with this family member?
She was 9. Now she knows.

Fembot123 · 15/01/2021 19:20

Adults who actually enjoy holiday camp entertainment.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 15/01/2021 19:22

Yes, people who are always late are really annoying

Even more so when it's an appointment , they know how long it takes to get from Their House to Place of Appointment and it's an ongoing regular thing .
They make the next person wait so then they are held up .
(Yes I know people have health problems but then so do all the others )

Somethingkindaoooo · 15/01/2021 19:22

People who can't take a crooked shit without putting it on Facebook

NewYearsEveWedding · 15/01/2021 19:23

@Sarcobaleno Grin

maddiemookins16mum · 15/01/2021 19:23

People who whinge (on here) that their 3 year olds wake 3 times a night for a feed and won’t go back to sleep unless nursed.

Yes, 3 year olds. Rod, back etc.

StormBaby · 15/01/2021 19:24

People who constantly wear pyjamas, or even worse a skanky dirty dressing gown every single day.
Gamblers
Smokers
People who have never had a job for any length of time and just keep churning out poor unfortunate babies instead.
Parents that let their children live in filth with no clean clothes or bedding yet can afford to smoke/gamble.
People that do all the above but have an unshakeable belief that they are good parents(top tip; you’re not)

ShellieEllie · 15/01/2021 19:24

People that call their child my best friend

snappyoldfartpants · 15/01/2021 19:24

Being male

Giving children iPads in restaurants and pushchairs

Wearing clothes that are too tight or small

People who drive Nissan micras (always old always slow) 🙄

People who drive smart cars

And people who own mongrels and call them "insert stupid name poo"

MyGazeboisLeaking · 15/01/2021 19:24

@lissie123

Parents putting red bull in their kids school packed lunches.

Surely not true?

Doobydoo · 15/01/2021 19:26

All of yous
Ta muchly
At the end of the day
Everything happens for a reason
People who profess outrage at work with colleagues about things that are wrong and do feck all about it so they get promoted

Gwenhwyfar · 15/01/2021 19:26

@AlexisCarringtonColbyDexter

Smoking when pregnant Smoking around little kids Swearing in front of little kids babies with pierced ears Horrid bleached hair thats so damaged its like candy floss (just cut it off!) chipped nail polish Clothing thats clearly two sizes too small (just buy a bigger size!) men who are balding that grow a rats tail to compensate men with huge beer bellies adults who are obsessed with disney chewing with an open mouth people with BO/bad breath/smelly hair (its not difficult to wash or brush your teeth) people who spit, pick their nose, scratch their balls in public
I think I agree with all of these even though I think I eat with an open mouth myself!
Concernedmother67 · 15/01/2021 19:27

Dirty nails

Doobydoo · 15/01/2021 19:27

People that call their child/Grandchild..Princess
People saying 'aw bless' or 'hun'

Iminaglasscaseofemotion · 15/01/2021 19:27

Letting children run wild I'm restaurants and cafes.
I'm not talking about children playing up that happens. I mean the people that allow their children to get up and wander around other peoples tables, get under the feet of waiters and waitresses and just generally being really annoying.
If anything was to happen to their child, like something hot being dropped on them, they would go mad, but they would only have themselves to blame.

Lelophants · 15/01/2021 19:29

People deciding to have a child 6 months after having a an abortion as a form of contraception. I am pro choice but this is too much.

LemonadeSunshine · 15/01/2021 19:29

@ChocOrange1

People who put their children in nursery full time from a very young age Sad
Hahahahahahahahaha. Not the main earner in your house then, and having to make the difficult decision to go back to work FT to SUPPORT YOUR FAMILY? Not everyone has the choice sweetie.
