(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.

It doesn't actually matter and it's entirely their choice... but people who have huge inflatable dinosaurs or Homer Simpsons outside their houses as Christmas decorations.

So many different actual acknowledged symbols of Christmas to choose from - both religious and secular - and you go for something weirdly random like that?!

People with second homes. I think it's weird that anyone would feel comfortable with this, given that there aren't enough houses for the people we have. Especially annoying in touristy areas where people who want actual homes can't buy one due to the inflated prices.

People with really long fake nails. There, I’ve said it!

Man bags 😬
People calling me 'hun', especially blokes.
Bad manners
Range Rover drivers (I'm talking school run ones to be precise)

Any nails - real or fake - that are so long that you've voluntarily incapacitated yourself.

Maybe it's just me, but if I see somebody with several-inch-long nails, I just wonder how on earth they manage to wipe their bottom - or do they just not bother and itch and rustle all the time as they walk?!

Me too - what do you do when you get up in the morning? 😂

I'm going to have to tell my fur children about you 😂

It’s so gross and unhygienic. I just don’t understand how it is considered attractive in any way.

People who don't let others off of a tube train before pushing themselves on, drives me absolutely insane!

Plastic surgery where everyone just ends up looking the same and it's always a worse version of their natural face, just round plump cheeks, smooth foreheads and massive lips. MAFS, I'm looking at you! It looks hideous.

When people have to shit all over things other people say they like. "Oh I hate Taylor/Beyonce/Beatles/Billie Eilish, they're shit/talentless/part of the Illuminati/boring etc..." you can not like something without having to bring others down for what they do like. We all have different tastes and that's ok!

Overly milky coffee.
Food described as spicy that is in no way spicy.
Stringy mango.
Food snobs.

People who dislike cats and dogs. I find it’s either attention seeking or coming from a dark place.

Those who take offence to people treating their pets as children. The pets are family and need looking after, it’s perfectly understandable to refer to the pet’s owners as parents. People might have other sensitive reasons for treating their pets like children too.

Those who don’t let their dogs socialise or stop for a sniff on walks.

Those who stand up as soon as the plane lands, regardless of which row they’re on.

I don’t like cats because they shit on my lawn and I have to go and remove it all before I let my children go out and play on our own garden in the morning. Nothing deeper than that.

Lip fillers
Face fillers
People who ask you to take your shoes off when you enter their house
Personalised registrations
People who say they are animal lovers whilst eating a bacon sandwich, going to watch horse racing etc

I find it discombobulating when people don't want hot drinks, but I'm getting used to it (married to a cold drinks master for 20 years now)

Those who stand up as soon as the plane lands, regardless of which row they’re on.

Also, those who loudly applaud the pilot for doing a basic part of his/her job when the plane touches down.

Do they run behind the bin lorry and enthusiastically clap the bin men for doing their job in managing to take their full bin and then put it back empty?!

People who get up constantly during a film at the cinema or the theatre. Go the toilet, get your snacks and then sit down and watch it. Then repeat all of the above when it’s over! I never remember it being so bad when I was a child, nobody seems to be able to sit still for longer than ten minutes now. Oh also, those who use their phones when it’s dark in the cinema or theatre, so distracting. Put it away!

I don’t like dogs because they smell funny and jump on me. I don’t want hairs all over me, thank you very much! I can enjoy them from a distance. I also don’t mind very well behaved (or old and tired) dogs, but these are few and far between.

Maybe that comes from a ‘dark place’. I’ll revel in my darkness, in that case!

Cats I don’t mind (as long as their hairs don’t get all over me). They seem to mutually agree that we should leave each other alone.

I do love the group on "Sorted" Food but they say "Spag Bol" and "Creme Patt"

What is wring with saying the whole name it's just another couple of syllables

People who won't drink water
People who don't like cheese
People who don't like animals
People who drink a lot of alcohol
Who who don't like reading

How do you gatekeep a hobby? What does this mean?

Your hot drinks point is quite odd.

Oh another one: using "I" all the time when it should be "me" because they think it sounds posher. Eg "This chocolate is for John and I."

The reason it bothers me is because I think they judge me for getting it "wrong" whenbi say "me". Ha ha

Likewise, the inappropriate use of "myself" and "yourself". Immediately think someone is a drongo if they say it when it's not reflexive.

Exactly this

I don't like chocolate. I don't have a sweet tooth and don't like the texture. I don't like ice cream either.

Give me salty olives or anchovies or oysters or blue cheese any day!"

People who judge others for their spelling, grammar and colloquialisms.
As if everyone has had the same access to and experience of education or support with education at home.
Also expecting everybody to speak perfect standard English rather than the language they grew up with and used in their communities ( especially when IN their communities).
The amount of outsiders that move in to the newly gentrified areas in London and look horrified at being called ‘darling’ or ‘love’ or hearing anybody talk in a cockney or London accent or use London colloquialism is hilarious.

May I have surely 🫣
