(lighthearted) petty things that make you judge a person

[witchycat2]

People who don't like any hot drinks. A hot drink for me is the ultimate comfort. Someone told me they don't like them because they don't want to have to wait for their drink to cool down if they let thirsty. Who drinks a hot drink due to thirst?!

People who say they don't like water. How? You need water to survive. Not liking water is like not liking oxygen. And when you're dehydrated there's nothing like water.

Personalised number plates. What a waste of money and why would you want to be recognisable when driving.

Ah ok. I was talking about GB, not knowing much about NI. Thanks for the education!

Too many to list, so basically just people peopling. I don't like that many people. 🙈

People who don't understand doormats are a thing and to wipe your feet/shoes on, so no need to take your shoes off, leave them on - I don't care to breathe your foot odour or have your sweaty bare feet on my carpet, even in socks, thank you very much!

People who say f*g for cigarette or smoke.

People who say 'lad' or 'lass' - thankfully not a thing in my country, post the 1920s, the terms are so prehistoric you'd be laughed at if you use them. I would be so embarrassed to even say them. Man, woman or guys are much better in this millennium.

On this site, people who reply to a thread about a crisis a person is posting about only to say the exact same fucking thing as 800 people before you, filling the thread up so the OP can't even return to the thread to update or reply as its maxed out at 1000, and full of 'thinking of you', 'best wishes', 'hope things go well xxx' etc. Just...stop! Leave room for the OP to reply, for fucks sake. She doesn't need to read 800 of the exact same thing. Have some common sense. If its up to say 800 and OP hasn't responded, leave it for her (or him) to come back.

Adding on to that, people who say "didn't want to read and run", seriously, no one gives a fuck. Ok? Seriously, no one truly gives a fuck. OP doesn't keep a running tally of who read and replied or who read but didn't reply. You're just after attention. And taking up a post space.

Grrr, I should stop, this is changing me from light-hearted to peed off.

People who are incapable of self-control when it comes to drinking and simply have to get paralytically drunk.

I'm thinking particularly at gigs and other events like horse racing. Don't get me wrong as I like to have a few pre-drinks to get me in the mood but there's people who are so off their faces that they won't even remember it and even worse then ruin it for other people by crashing into them constantly and shouting loudly. I've seen people who must've paid £100+ for tickets being carried out and missing the gig because they were so drunk. I do judge and just think is it so hard to just have a bit of self-control?

People who make and take all calls on speakerphone, hold their phone out in front of them and talk loudly to the person on the other end. What happened to just having the phone up to your ear and talking at a normal volume? A bloke in the gym was doing it today while on the treadmill. It gives me the rage.

people to stand at a counter in a caff/etc and have no idea what they want to order but they will gladly hold up the queue behind them while they ask a million questions and they could have thought about things before they hold up the queue and don't have a fast forward button

when people don't say /to/ so it's "i'm going tesco". makes me EURGH

People who use a large spoon to wind up their spaghetti 🍝

People who don’t like dogs
Who say/write ‘there is’ with a plural
Who start a post with ‘Myself and dh/whoever…’

Or who misuse ‘myself’ at all.

People calling their children baby when they are older than 5. Example in a shop. A mum shouts to their 7 year old, come on baby! Get a grip.
Or someone I know on fb. It’s my baby girls 21 birthday! No she’s a grown women

Do you mean “ad-vert-isss-ment” vs. “ad-vert-ize-ment”? This one has been bugging me for ages, and everyone I talk to about it insists I’m wrong, no matter their age!

(I am of the opinion that “ad-vert-isss-ment” is correct.)

People who frequent coffee shops. Who can be arsed?

So true

OK I don't know if I'm going to be accused of

(a) derailing this
(b) saying something I shouldn't or
(c) not being lighthearted

OR ALL 3,

but I'd say

People who don't use toilet paper.

I mean, don't they believe in being clean?

Sorry, I'll leave it there ...

One that springs to mind for me and it's just a small, very specific thing, is when people say 'going to get food/going out for food' etc when referring to going out for a meal. It just sounds like you're a farm animal at feeding time to me, I don't know why! Much prefer to say e.g. go out for lunch.

People who check their phone at the cinema or theater, I hate them instantly. Any form of littering. Not taking your glasses back to the bar although that one depends.

when people don't say /to/ so it's "i'm going tesco". makes me EURGH

A friend of mine says “I need to go toilet” 🤮🤮🤮 I want to tell her off like a naughty child.

Oh! And people that get a drink at a small bar, then stand in the way, or all around the corner of it, so you have to push past them.
It happened at a funeral I went to last week, the venue was huge, loads of comfy seating. It was a beautiful space. But the bar hoggers ground my gears, as that was the only route to the tea, coffee and food. I was sick of saying excuse me. And I'll bet others were too. Total lack of disregard for anyone else.
And these were older end people, not young ones. You know the ones who usually demand respect?! Pah!

Inwardly I take an immediate dislike to anyone I perceive as middle class/has a posh accent but I can warm to them over time. It's something very innate and an automatic response.

People who do not have gravy on their roast dinner.

Anyone who says Whatever

People who write could of or his instead of he is
Saying it is fine but for some reason writing it really annoys me.

Whatever

Umm - I put ketchup on pasta, my DH doesn’t like hot drinks and my DD is coveting a Stanley cup so we’re all guilty as charged! 😳

I’m not above a bit of judging of my own though - people who say they “could care less” aargh!!!!! And people who go on “holibobs” too 🙈

@Staywithmemyblood I've seen several Stanley cups in charity shops ( I gave the one I received to charity shop before Xmas unused hoping some would get it for Xmas) they are really cumbersome and annoying (imo)
