The long term unemployed who are now pretty much unemployable and don’t give a shit about ever working. I know two who somehow haven’t worked for 11 and 16 years and proudly claim to manage perfectly well without working.

@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

The person that thinks like this calls people closed minded. Funny.

People who give their young dc a Greg's sausage roll for lunch while pushing them around the shops in their pushchairs.
People who give their young dc lucozade ( my dc used to live spending time with my Mum as she always bought it for them)
People who unfortunately need benefits yet can afford twice weekly takeaways and designer coats for their dc.
People who wear or own items that have slogans like 'gin o'clock' or mention prosecco.

[quote Skullcup]@ChocOrange1 what should I do with my kids to rest of the time while I'm working full time as the main wage earner to support my family? Take them to work with me?

I judge middle class SAHMs sponging off their high earning DHs whilst also judging parents who have no choice other than to work full time.[/quote]
Skullcap, I understand what you are saying, but its hardly fair to say SAHMs are sponging off their other halves. They have come to an agreement and that is how they want to live and how they want to bring their children up. I was a SAHM when my child was very young, and it was right that my child's dad provided for us at that time.

Far to many to mention on here.

GintyMcGinty · 15/01/2021 16:54

Lol I am 'guilty' of more than one thing on this thread. Ha, ha.

Mostly I judge people who judge other people for making different life choices.

My exception is people who eat tomato flavour crisps on public transport - that just should not be allowed.

NoSleepInTheHeat · 15/01/2021 16:54

People watching videos with sound on in public places.
People talking on their mobile in speaker mode (especially in the bus!).
Toddlers in buggies with a tray of junk food or a tablet.
People not washing their hands after going to the loo.
People in parked cars with the engine on.

MsTSwift · 15/01/2021 16:55

Sitting in a stationary parked car with the engine running, No excuse.

rorjee · 15/01/2021 16:55

@Skullcup I work part time I earn more than DH , maybe I'm selfish because I choose to work part time because I want to still spend as many days with DS as possible . DH works 5 days for what I earn In 2 days .

LST · 15/01/2021 16:56

Arseholes who judge people for pathetic little reasons like most on here. I judge you all greatly

LizFlowers · 15/01/2021 16:56

@lagerandblack

smoking while pregnant/pushing a pram.
Some years ago, within two days, I twice saw a young woman smoking whilst out with their young children; in the normal run of things I wouldn't have noticed but both these women were in wheelchairs, having had legs amputated.

I felt that was a message to me; I gave up smoking then and have never regretted it.

Yes, I did make a judgement at those times but it was tempered with some compassion.

Smaller things - people who do loud, uncovered yawns; those who laugh inanely at nothing, ie after nearly every sentence; BO.

Robbybobtail · 15/01/2021 16:56

Botox, fake eyebrows, teeth veneers, contouring etc.
A materialistic mentality, especially when you can’t afford it I,e. Designer clothes, expensive car, latest gadgets etc all bought on credit when you live in a very WC area/house etc. Just buying for buyings sake.
People who are genuinely interested in the lives of celebrities and want to discuss the ins and outs of their latest marriage/baby/procedure
People who only have one child for reasons such as thinking it’s bad for the environment to have more
People who believe everything the government says and think having a walk outdoors with your friend or buying a takeout coffee is contributing to the rise in COVID cases.
People who know you but don’t acknowledge you when out and about or on the school run - I hate rudeness

AiryFairyMum · 15/01/2021 16:56

People who buy new matching decorations for their (artificial) tree every year and talk about 'themes'.

AiryFairyMum · 15/01/2021 16:57

Chair covers at weddings.

FionatheCat · 15/01/2021 16:57

@ChocOrange1

People who put their children in nursery full time from a very young age Sad
What if they have to work ?????? That’s really unfair to judge someone for that
Sparklingbrook · 15/01/2021 16:57

People who start loads of threads but never return to them.

Capetownmothercity · 15/01/2021 16:57

Spitting
But i dont stay silent
I tell them how disgusting they are

AmoElCafe · 15/01/2021 16:57

[quote rorjee]@AmoElCafe I still think a baby full time nursery at 3 months is too much [/quote]
I wasn’t referring to that. You said ‘I put mine in for 2 days at 18 months and that was enough’. I was merely pointing out that 2 days in nursery isn’t ‘enough’ if you have to work for more than 2 week days, is it?

AiryFairyMum · 15/01/2021 16:58

Furnishing/fittings all bought from one shop. Like they've picked up the catalogue and transported it to their house.

maddiemookins16mum · 15/01/2021 16:58

Wains in nappies past 3. There is no need unless SN. I bet a lot are just not trained because it’s easier to have them in cheap supermarket pull ups. Oh and dummies for any wain much past 18 months.

Haffiana · 15/01/2021 16:58

Brexit voters complaining about Boris Johnson
Brexit voters complaining about 'unfair' preferential treatment of London/South

stuckhereontheinside · 15/01/2021 16:58

Personalised car number plates.

Police officers who 'flex' covid-19 guidance regarding driving for county walks while their colleagues intimate, harass and fine the general public for this.

AmoElCafe · 15/01/2021 16:58

Fab. Great that your set up allows you to work for 2 days. That doesn’t mean everyone can.

MsTSwift · 15/01/2021 16:58

So peculiar that anyone cares about others childcare arrangements or whether they own a hot tub!

Robbybobtail · 15/01/2021 16:59

Oh and people who let their dc’s watch a phone/tablet whilst in a restaurant, usually at a high volume so everyone else can hear “baby shark” or whatever playing on a loop. I don’t judge this silently though, I politely ask them to turn it down.
