People who make a big deal about shoes off in their houses, as if they will all crumple and get ill if one shoe walks in their precious floors.

Floors to me are made to be walked on, and not to be a slave too.
In all my life only a few times as anyone walked mud in. Most people are sensible enough, including us to leave shoes by the door if they are muddy or it's been raining.
I feel for many it's a control issue rather than an actual clean things.

Also it's a bit of a placebo and often off set by other actions I feel are far more likely to cause illness.

I don't judge people for having shoes off upstairs even though we don't bother.

Aww thanks @Jaypreen but I am sat on the sofa. 😂

Scbchl · 16/01/2021 13:39

Smoking and swearing loudly in convo repeatedly in public places/restaurants especially when children are around.

Oh and people who don’t even know basic world geography

And British people who have no idea at all of British geography. Also, slightly niche, but it's astonishing how many people assume that the first letters of postcodes are allocated entirely at random, even though the vast majority of them 'just happen' to include the first letter of the biggest nearby city/town and often a second letter that also features early in the name.

@SnowflakeCulture

I've come across many uneducated people that can't read or write - all English natives. How these people can't read or write in their own mother tongue is amazing. They have really crap parents.

Or a learning disability.

And yhey all are from the same low social class and on benefits?! ... More like a class issue rather than a disability. And, shit parents.

Skipsurvey · 16/01/2021 13:41

oh checking in at the hospital on facebook

people who post pictures of bad parking on facebook

small minded people

Skipsurvey · 16/01/2021 13:41

there is a joker at my place of work who calls children with foreign surnames local lad which is offensive. It was funny at first but not now.

People who are is a constant cycle of breaking up with partners and getting back together (over and over). It's boring to hear the drama.

@Wearywithteens

Sparklingbrook - you really don’t silently despair of other people sometimes? (Other than the posters here) - what makes you so super humanly tolerant? Are you just dull and don’t have an opinion? Or is it because many of these ‘silent judgements’ apply to you?
Silently despairing/judging for me doesn’t include posting those judgements on here. I have loads of opinions.🤷‍♀️ Turns out reading other people’s is fascinating though. Plus I have nothing better to be doing currently.
Sparklingbrook · 16/01/2021 14:02

I have a huge bedroom tv if that helps. 😂

“Not breastfeeding and then seek sympathy when DC gets sick. Duh”

How spectacularly thick.

Indeed Erm what about folks who cannot breast feed through mastectomy or other illness

@WeBuiltThisBuffetOnSausageRoll

Not breastfeeding and then seek sympathy when DC gets sick. Duh

I think the same about people who put shoes on the table and then get surprised when a loved one suddenly drops dead; and those who refuse to eat their crusts and then complain about having straight hair.

It's all just good science!!

Emmmmm no!

There's concrete scientific evidence that babies who are breastfed have lower rates of ear infections, gastro infections, respiratory infections etc etc. It's a fact.

I don't judge people who choose not to breastfeed or can't, but don't deny scientific facts !!

TornadoOfSouls · 16/01/2021 14:20

Don't be too harsh over the mask thing. They were after all, intended for people in sterile environments: laboratories, operating theatres and such like. Even then they had to be changed quite often if you yawned, sneezed or even talked.

I’m not being harsh. It’s not hard to wear a mask properly.

justkeepswimming2020 · 16/01/2021 14:21

Tattoos

People who sell their old tat on facebook, just give it to a charity shop.

People with no aspiration
