People who expect the government to feed their DC through the school holidays but spend their benefits on alcohol, fags, iPhone contract, lip fillers, acrylic nails.

I have no issue whatsoever with children genuinely in need accessing FSM but, unfortunately, the above quota give everyone a bad name

Babies/toddlers with pierced ears Hmm

Women who walk out of a toilet (workplace or public) and make no attempt to wash their hands. Or if they do wash their hands, turn the tap on for four seconds, then the drier for four seconds then go out the door.

It happens a lot and I have no idea why they think that's ok. YUK!!

This is a very shallow one:

People with hair bleached to an unnatural shade of yellow, fake tan, lots of make up and high definition brows. Why spend all that time and money to look like a photographic negative of yourself?

Most of these people would look great without all that. I’d love to give them a makeunder.

Entitlement, and refusing to take responsibility for themselves.

IceDiscoSkater · 16/01/2021 12:07

Kids using dummies well past the age they should , sucking on them while just walking out and about with parents when they are clearly 3 plus.

People that sit about in jammies all day , to me it’s lazy.
Unless you are actually ill , then just get dressed.

So basically what we’re all doing here (me included) is being judgmental of each other for what are deemed our failures to make what we perceive as the correct decision or choice in life. But we choose not to vocalise our judgment because that would be socially unacceptable ie public shaming. Maybe some people’s choices aren’t for the best but if we’re all doing the same things life would not be so diverse.

Guineapigbridge · 16/01/2021 12:09

Those rear-facing pushchairs. Yes all your child wants to do is gaze on your mummy-madonna-halo face and no, he simply can't possibly be faced outward, toward the cruel harsh world Hmm

Jaypreen · 16/01/2021 12:09

Every post that contains the words 'as we all know' ..

Makes almost no sense

@SciFiScream

Not agreeing with me about everything
I was joking - there's very little I judge people for actually.

Even something like smoking around children - it's wrong yes, but I don't know enough about that person to be able to judge them. Smoking is an addiction. Those of us who have never started don't really know how hard it is to stop.

There's a Vulcan philosophy called IDIC - infinite diversity in infinite combinations. I love this and try to remember it.

Spidey66 · 16/01/2021 12:17

@lagerandblack

smoking while pregnant/pushing a pram.
I came on to say this as well. And I smoke (though not a mother).

@themaskedsinger

Oh and people who don’t even know basic world geography
It is shocking
Jaypreen · 16/01/2021 12:18

Thank you Sethy38. I thought it was just me. Maybe it just needs a few commas?

Skipsurvey · 16/01/2021 12:19

people who think they re sensible about covid, when they are clearly not

did you read the post earlier against the forward-facing pushchairs? Grin

My pushchairs let us put the carrycot and seat either way. Highly recommended!

Skipsurvey · 16/01/2021 12:20

people who are fussy eaters.

woodhill · 16/01/2021 12:20

@Marlena1

Using too much plastic, and wipes for everything. Wet a cloth, much kinder to the planet.
And too much bleach

No I think fundamentally it’s nonsense!

I silently judge people who have kids with more than one partner and also have a partner with the same, then they have kids together, and then post on here with lots of drama (although to be fair, I usually judge the men more harshly than the women) - and despite having several DC and DSC, still prioritise their ‘DP’ over any of the poor children.

Anyone who voted for Brexit. They might be a lovely person, and we might get on really well, but I still judge. I hope this will fade with time.

People who like Boris Johnson, and people who think the anti-Semitism problem in the Labour Party has been exaggerated.

Also, off the top of my head: litter droppers, street spitters, engine idlers, aggressive drivers, drivers who drive everywhere at 50 no matter what the speed limit, people who eat battery chicken, people who listen to music on the bus without headphones, and people who get rid of perfectly good wooden front doors and replace them with uPVC.

People who complain about their child being badly behaved but swing between screaming at them giving into them and spoiling them.

People who treat their dogs like babies giving the dog all sorts of issues then complain their dog is badly behaved

PuppyMonkey · 16/01/2021 12:31

Eating gravy.

RoseFence · 16/01/2021 12:31

People who say "living my best life" naff, naff, naff.

AWryGiraffe · 16/01/2021 12:32

People who refer to someone having children as 'breeding'.

My child hated the pram until I turned her to face the world.

Janegrey333 · 16/01/2021 12:34

People who don’t wear masks - older people, especially, since surely they are at greater risk.

People who wear masks wrongly.

People who come too close in an enclosed place or anywhere, actually.

People who day trip in our conservation village - who have no right to be here. I can hear them now as they pass by outside.

Judgemental people who think they do everything properly but will break rules, quite happily, to see a grandchild, for instance, because well, they only stayed for a while and sometimes you just have to do what feels right for you. Of course they are usually me me me, needy types anyway. The hypocrisy is sickening.
