(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.

I was going to say the Irish say "mammy" not mummy😅 my Southampton husband refers to me as "mummy" or "mum" with the kids. I refer to myself as mammy or mam, I'm from the North East of England and my family were from Ireland 😁

"people who don't eat fruit or vegetables"

I couldn't think of one but this!! How do they not feel sluggish?

Oh dear, I dont like hot drinks (because they aren't thirst quenching) or water!
Why is this a bad thing?

And I almost never read books...

I love chocolate though! 😄

Well, you would insist on marrying this person ...

People who think anything old is boring, irrelevant, unhygienic or worthless, e.g. black and white films, old but serviceable furniture, secondhand books.
People who don't take any interest in history or current events.
People who never look at maps and have no idea where other countries/cities are, how big they are, and so on.
Conspiracy theorists.
People who are perfectly capable of walking but never do and don't get their children into the habit of walking either.
People who listen to audio on their phones or laptops in public places without headphones, or let their children do so.

This is cathartic!

Whether they use plastic water bottles.

Yes and women who wear trousers with JUICY across the arse. By wearing this they want people to look at their arse, and I get second hand embarrassment when it's anything butt.

All of the above and more.
Your dog might be friendly when it tries to slobber over me but I'm not, so take it away and fuck off.
I don't like your irritating kids so take them away and fuck off.
I love animals and will always help vulnerable people, disabled etc but the rest can fuck off😁
Just don't like people I guess, many of them annoy the fuck out of me just by breathing. I'd rather have animals any day [but not dogs].

Agree with hot drinks, i absolutely take my hat off to those have small children and work full time with no caffeine intake, whether it’s hot or cold.
maybe 🤔 I’m just jealous 🤣

Came here to write this ^

Nude coloured clothling especially skin tight leggings, not a good look on anyone, even if they are skinny.
Very tight clothing and obviously 5 sizes too small for the wearer.

I judge people by what they have for lunch at work. There was this one guy I worked with for a week who ate two microwave mini pizzas for lunch every day. By the end of the week I had to question it, and he told me he eats that for lunch every single work day, for years.

Adults who "don't eat greens"
Adults who don't drive (unless it's a medical reason)
People loud in public

Adults who are perfectly happy to live in a society where everything is organised around the car even though this makes life really difficult for those who can't drive or can't afford to run a car and is environmentally disastrous.

Anyone who refers to their husband as hubby or pet as fur baby.

Adult men who wear shorts all year round.

God I don't do cake OR chocolate really. I just don't have a sweet tooth at all! I'm clearly the scourge of Mumsnet! 😂

Why does that bother you? The smell?

Not driving is an odd one? Maybe they live in a city? Maybe they've never had the thousands it costs to learn and pass these days? Maybe they've never know they'll be awful in which case we should be glad they don't!

Totally agree about the hot drink thing, and the not eating fruit and vegetables one. There are so many varieties and tastes of fruit and veg that I struggle to comprehend how someone can claim to not like a single one.

People who 'don't drive' but then whinge about how difficult life is as they have 5 kids who need to get to 3 different schools so they all need to leave at 6am to catch their bazillion buses.

People in shops with slippers and/or pj's on.

People (perhaps specifically our neighbours) who haven't taken their children (all below the age of 10) outside at all in over a week. This is a regular thing and they'll mention it in conversation quite happily.

Women wearing leopardprint. Mean wearing chains. Unpopular opinion, I know!

It didn't bother me, smelt quite nice tbh, but I just judged it because it was so unhealthy and also just really really boring to eat the same lunch 5 days a week for years. I mean I eat pizza rolls for lunch (going to make some today to stick in the freezer in fact) but not every day, and I always have vegetables and fruit with my lunch - he just ate those two pizzas and nothing else, every single day.

1 and 3 of those are me!

People who don't like animals. I get not wanting them, but not liking them? Come on.

Also, people who say they despise and hate babies and children. Again, I fully appreciate not wanting them, but people who are outright hostile and believe children should be all but banned from public places are awful.

People who gatekeep hobbies.

People who will never ever eat anything naughty/processed. Just lighten up and enjoy yourself once in a while.

People who think going to the gym is a personality trait.

I have met a person who said they didn't like music and one who didn't like art.
Such sweeping statements and conversation killers.
