(lighthearted) petty things that make you judge a person

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.

Judgey people
I have some relatives who enjoy nitpicking acquaintances and anyone they see on tv / out: ‘why are they wearing/doing that’ etc?
Everyone has their reasons and if it’s not harming anyone/you…. It’s just an ego boost

Agreed. Judgey people never believe I don't judge. I don't have space in my head to make a judgement on how other people do things. I get as far as "that would/wouldn't work for me" and move on.

Also People that don't keep their dog on a lead in public!

BoredZelda · 29/12/2024 11:51

People who think my dog is a St Bernard, he's not he's a Bernese and then proceed to ask me where his barrel is.

I absolutely adore Bernese dogs. ❤️ Too big for little me though!

People who say " I seen" or " I done".
Personalised plates
Limp handshakes

Oh God, yes x 1000 on “seen” and “done”! Can I add people who say “them” when they mean “those” and “was” when they mean “were”?!

So what you don’t like is dogs jumping on you? Why would that mean you dislike all dogs?

I don’t like kids putting sticky/messy hands on me but would never say I don’t like kids.

Edited

They also smell funny.

People who don’t like eating/forget to eat
People who can happily live in a mess

The insistence that the lack of a specific verb in the English language that means to be allowed to must be ameliorated exclusively by the use of a verb that indicates a potential or possibility rather than by the use of a verb that indicates the speaker's ability.

merryhouse · 29/12/2024 12:07

Thinking someone is simultaneously weird, pretentious and babyish simply because of what they call their parents

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g I guess you have never had multiple miscarriages.

People who don't like chocolate ... I can accept most things but find that pretty incomprehensible!

I don’t like chocolate -judge away! 😂😂

PrincessHoneysuckle · 29/12/2024 12:13

People who say pacific when they mean specific.

Bewareofthisonetoo · 29/12/2024 12:15

‘Those’ eyebrows, nails and lips.

JoannaGroats · 29/12/2024 12:15

People who say “off of”. I’ve heard intelligent people use this and I instantly mentally subtract ten points from their IQ.

People who try to convince me that it’s not that I don’t like coffee - it’s that I haven’t had proper coffee, which is nothing like instant and is utterly delicious. Er, no - I don’t like coffee full stop. The best coffee in the world is still coffee! It’s like saying, “You’re not really straight - you’ve just only ever been propositioned by women who look like Ann Widdecombe. Wait until you sleep with J-Lo; then you’ll be a lesbian…”

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

Why would it be ok to walk dirt off the pavement into someone's home?

MrsHemswoth · 29/12/2024 12:17

People who wear Dry Robes nowhere near the sea!

People who don't like chips!

Also agree with choc, hot drinks, lip filler, cheek filler!

Tesla drivers

Totally agreed on this. Dirt / dog poo who knows what. Why people don’t seem to mind this in their home, is perplexing.

It is Tesla the car or is it Elon?

People say they'd never buy a Dyson. But is it Dyson the machine or James Dyson the inventor ?

Hospital patients going out for a fag. I was admitted last year, a women in the next bed, coughed and coughed throughout her stay, in between going out for a fag 8/10 times a day. Bloody annoying

coldcallerbaiter · 29/12/2024 12:27

A woman at my child’s school dropped a bit of litter once. I hate ppl that do this, so I lightheartedly said I saw you drop litter, and she denied it. Plus she would save numerous seats at school plays for family that showed up often late. I disliked her, maybe it is petty but if ppl do trash things then I consider them as such.

Generally, calling police and ambulances due to non-urgent or MH issues or self inflicted nonsense.

Dog poo and letting dogs jump up on others.

Men who leer at young women or try and talk to them when they ought to have looked in the mirror and understood that they haven’t got a cats chance.

The hot drinks is a big one for me too.

I like a coffee for breakfast and possibly a hot chocolate sometimes for supper, but I cannot stand drinking hot drinks during the day because I find it doesn’t quench my thirst

They are just dirty people or were brought up that way and do not know differently.

People with no curiosity about the world. They go on holiday somewhere unusual, like Kenya for example, but couldn't find it on a map and wouldn't be arsed checking.
I find this incomprehensible because I'm obsessed with maps!
People who moan about any weather that isn't hot and sunny. People who say " urgh just got to get through January".
People who don't recognise seasons and think there's just cold ( Winter) and hot (Summer) and don't notice Spring occurring in Feb because they never go outside and look (too cold!).
People who drive everywhere.
People who say " Perfect!" all the time ( there's a few of these at my work). It's annoyingly perky. As well as inaccurate!
People who can't spell lose.
You didn't loose your phone. You are not going to loose your job. It's LOSE. Argh.
I don't give a shit about people with lip fillers etc though and don't care what they name their kids.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 29/12/2024 12:37

People who say they "Hate"
Hate is a strong word .
"I hate Christmas "
"I hate meat"

People who start every sentence with "So"
"So , my reasoning is ..."
"So what we plan to do is"

People who address a mixed sex group as "Guys"
I am not a guy . I have never been a guy . I will never be a guy .
