You should sit on a bench if you really must graze.

Regurgitating what they have read in the paper/watched on the news as their own knowledge

Carysmatthews · 15/01/2021 19:52

People with babies or little ones in a pram with no hat or gloves on, when the parent is wrapped up themselves in the cold weather.

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 15/01/2021 19:52

If someone's out for 2 or 3 hours they're not allowed to eat?

2 or 3 HOURS! No wonder we have such an obesity problem Grin
Yes, I judge!

Drive an SUV

I’m going to guess your “nailing” of this persona never includes “I’ll bet that’s and owner who did weeks of research and discovered this was the only type of car with a boot big enough to carry a wheelchair and a walking frame, with doors that open wide enough to help a child with a disability to get in by themselves.

Own a hot tub
And this will never include “I’m sure that person has an older child with a physical disability who really benefits from hydrotherapy”

Thinking 'gardening' is paving over the entire garden with slabs/astro turf
How dare people make their gardens more accessible for kids with physical disabilities.

What was that you said about judging people with no knowledge of the world @NobodyPuttsBabyinCorner?

People who don't even try to breastfeed who have no medical or emotional reason not to. If you can't, you find it difficult, you stop after the initial months - totally fair. But to not try even with colostrum and first few weeks? Hmm

People who have children they expect the taxpayer to pay for. Very different from people who find themselves in that position once kids are already here.

  1. Men in flip flops (should only be seen on the beach)
  2. Childless people who judge parents and say "I'd never do that/let my child do that" like they have any clue what they're talking about
  3. Part time dads who keep saying "my kids are my world" well duh every parent feels like that, why do you feel the need to keep saying it
  4. People who say they went to the "university of life" aka didn't make the grade
  5. People who get into their car in a busy car park and take forever to leave the space despite seeing people waiting for the space
  6. Men who want to split the bill on the first date. Just no.
  7. People whining on about having "anxiety" Most of them just need to get over themselves

Poor grammar

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 15/01/2021 19:56

I judge the most idiotic comments I read about a photo from the BBC illustrating home schooling.

Parents in uproar because the family on the photo was dressed, seated at a table, doing homework. If you have such low standards, I feel sorry for the kids. And judge the lazy parents.

People judging a child who may be having a meltdown in public or wearing headphones and watching a tablet in their pram without stopping to think that maybe that child has a disability that causes the meltdown or that means they struggle with strangers / loud noises / public places so ear defenders / tablet are to help them stay calm

Port1aCastis · 15/01/2021 19:56

Nobody gets to judge me about how I feed my children cos you ain't perfect luvvie

MilyMoo · 15/01/2021 19:57

Bottle feeding without ever even trying breastfeeding

Janegrey333 · 15/01/2021 19:58

@MarthasGinYard

'People with a tv in the bedroom.'

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

Argh. Cannot I see that!

Breastfeeding with sanctimony

MarthasGinYard · 15/01/2021 19:58

'Bottle feeding without ever even trying breastfeeding'

Oh the Stapo have arrived en masse Grin

Janegrey333 · 15/01/2021 19:58

Correction!

Cannot UNSEE that!

Toddlers in pushchairs or anywhere in public staring at an iPad or phone. 🙁

Port1aCastis · 15/01/2021 19:59

Has didn't take long Martha did it

SendHelp30 · 15/01/2021 19:59

@Whyisitsodifficult see previous post re disabled children

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 15/01/2021 20:00

The funniest thing on these threads is when a poster touched a nerve and someone gets really irate about it Grin

MarthasGinYard · 15/01/2021 20:00

Oh Port

Indeed not Grin
