@Whatisapension many suit jackets are sold with a white thread keeping the vent at the back shut. This is solely to prevent creasing whilst the jackets are in store and the customer should just snip them when they buy the jacket, otherwise they are walking around with an un vented jacket that rides up when they sit down...

People who put ‘F’ on a Facebook post.

@ThatDamnKrampus

Using a keyworker place when one is a stay at home parent (one of the parents at school is doing this with her young children). I am judging big style (my husband is a keyworker and I am not sending the youngest in even though it would help as I am caring for a disabled adult child), it is beyond selfish.

(No doubt I will get judged for judging but beyond caring).

Sorry but I disagree. There is a policy in place where keywords kids are open and you have the choice and deciding not to send. The same where I have the option to send my kids in but I CHOOSE not to. I'm not doing it to not be "selfish" I'm doing it because I would rather my children be with me. You don't know the personal circumstances, for all you know they could have an EHCP or vulnerable and its better for the child to be in school.

YOU made the decision to keep your kid at home so it doesn't mean everyone else has to do the same

High heels
Swearing at kids
Small babies, ie under 6 months, in full-time daycare
Mobiles at table

Instagram/ snapchat filters.

People not wearing masks

Haggertyjane · 15/01/2021 17:24

Mums walking along with their face in the phone while their baby looks around being ignored. . (Rear facing buggy obviously)

Parents swearing at their kids, or worse still hitting them.

Being morbidly obese

Spitting and littering

Onedropbeat · 15/01/2021 17:25

Wearing jogging bottoms other than for exercise purposes

Double judgment if said jogging bottoms have writing across the butt cheeks

People smoking - anyone.
It’s antisocial, stinks and it’s just gross

Jaypreen · 15/01/2021 17:25

Parents that constantly give their children snacks.

FlatterNow · 15/01/2021 17:25

@Lludmilla - I am intrigued by the inclusion of snack-a-jacks on your list!

I think that people who judge a lot are often insecure about themselves and need to find enough people to look down on so they can feel superior Grin

CoronaIsWatching · 15/01/2021 17:26

Loads of things;

  • Constantly professing their love of their DP on social media including posting constant pictures of them together = insecurity in the relationship
  • "It's just me and my kids" type posts on FB
  • Grey decor in their homes = tacky and mindlessly following trends
  • Wearing masks on their chin/under their nose = thick
  • Slow walkers or when they walk 4 abreast in a group taking up the pavement = inconsiderate
Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 15/01/2021 17:26

I do judge parents abusing the "key worker" school places when they are either at home, or have a partner working from home. I am not very silent about it though!

If you didn't need the space last March, you are likely a CF. So yes, I do judge.

Parents were sick with worry putting their kids at school at the beginning of the last lockdown, there were a lot less abuse!

I8toys · 15/01/2021 17:27

Many different dads to many children

NoProblem123 · 15/01/2021 17:27

Sitting on their phones while at a table eating in company, times 100 if they have children with them.

Onedropbeat · 15/01/2021 17:28

@NobodyPuttsBabyinCorner
Your list is pretty concise to me 👌🏻

LaTomatina · 15/01/2021 17:28

Oh and people who give their small children phones, tablets, play stations etc and then complain about how hard it is to limit screen time.

By writing that, aren't you making a judgement ?

Yes I’ve seen your opinion on this on countless threads. Lots of people are still worried sick but don’t have a choice, I didn’t send mine in March as I didn’t have to but now I have a different job.
HouseofBrieandBanter · 15/01/2021 17:29

@Iknowwhatudidlastsummer I get to feel superior to all the judgypants WineGrin

puffinkoala · 15/01/2021 17:29

Being noisy in the quiet carriage of a train (or generally)

Having kids over 40, it's ok now but won't be when you're 60 and they are teens. Same goes for giving a child a baby name. Yes they're a baby now but one day they'll be 30 - remember you are naming a future adult

Smoking

Having garden bonfires

Being late

Parking on pavements

Driving SUVs

WiseOwlRelaxing · 15/01/2021 17:30

For lacking self awareness. Eg, you defend a small boundary and they feel embarrassed but then quickly project that back on to you with anger and the silent treatment.

Insecure people who try to exclude somebody else from a group to increase their sense of belonging.

Hypicrites who post about the wrongs of society while being a bitch/bully to those in their own life.

Kissing up to those who validate them. Kicking down on those who are no use to them.

Nah just intolerant of people who make my life more difficult or unpleasant (though I accept some of my list doesn't affect me like when people have their kids or what they call them)

OBVIOUSLY if you are now a critical worker, or back from maternity leave, or a teacher who didn't need to be at school then because next to no parents abused the system back them.. obviously there are exceptions.

But mainly, my point is still valid.
