(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 actually do judge people that have little or no interest in politics because that actually affects peoples lives much more than say voting who won Big Brother yet people seem to give a shit about stupid things but not the important things
Also people that don’t watch the news don’t want to know about the news like they don’t want to expand their horizons. I don’t get that.

People who use 'woke' as a slur and if it is a bad thing.

Totally agree with you there

People who dress up a simple food dislike as an allergy.

No Sue, you it's not a case of 'I can't have wheat.....' or 'I'm allergic to chilli...'

You won't keel over in pain or die if you eat them, you just don't like them or maybe you feel a bit bloated. Wind yer neck in...

People you say pacificallly.

Massive false eyelashes that make you look like a fresian

Fair enough, then, if they're overjoyed to be returning after a long time or even arriving for the first time.

However, I still don't get why clapping. Cheering or whooping, maybe; but polite applause?!

People who use snowflake or Karen as insults.

As long as it is a place that allow dogs off lead they can be as long as they're under control.

No, I haven't. I'm very fortunate and I acknowledge that, and if you have experienced this, I'm very sorry. I still think it's odd to treat other species as if they're human, whether the humans involved can/can't/do/don't have human children of their own. This thread was about petty things other people do which we don't like or don't understand. That's one of mine.

People who use margarine instead of butter.

Also boomer and gammon. (Our MP would qualify as the latter, but I can think of much better epithets for them.)

When you said “loudly applauding” in your original post, I thought you meant wholeheartedly clapping. I’ve never witnessed a polite applause on a plane, that sounds like the pilot executed a mediocre landing!

People who throw away perfectly usable stuff - food, clothing, furniture, electronics ...

🤣🤣 brilliant

😂😂 please elaborate

LOL a guy in my old work place ate the same microwave meal for 2 months and didn't get bored of it one iota

Big thick eyebrows, badly applied make up, unsuitable clothing in the workplace. I instantly think the girls are thick as shite. Women my age who wear ..is the brand called Seasalt?.. the dresses look like hessian sacks, combined with birkenstock and they're probably vegetarian too and I just think, nope, not for me. Women who talk about food constantly. If you're hungry, eat something.

people who only eat processed foods and can't cook any sort of meal

also not eating fruit and veg weird, as is not drinking water

Being very loud in public and whilst on the phone

having literally no sense of geography

ha ha
because of his job, working with nerves, reconnecting them, very fine motor skills.
he was great,
dead now though sadly

Not lighthearted particularly, but I massively judge anyone who uses their kids as Internet fodder. Family vloggers/kids pages/kids on tiktok. Horrendous. Especially those who do the massive present "haul" videos where the kids are recorded for their reactions (prompted to act by parents). Thousands of pounds of (usually) tat and plastic, all for the views.

People who are so defensive of the rights of dogs but don't care that the meat they eat are from animals that are treated so poorly.

I just don't understand how they don't get bored eating the same food all the time. I went away for 6 weeks one summer, with the children, while my bloke stayed home. Came back and found the recycling full of microwave soup packaging - that's what he ate for dinner every single day while I was gone. Though at least he couldn't stand the sight of soup after that

No, I got a bit tied up in my descriptions there!

Not polite clapping as in at a genteel awards ceremony, but enthusiastic and sometimes accompanied by cheers too.

The cheers I get, as they signify happiness - glad to be there, glad to have landed safely, happy to be there to start your holiday; but not the clapping part, which usually indicates approval and congratulations of another person's actions, rather than general joy per se!!

It depends where you are. Both are right, but generally used in different locations.
So they’re wrong to correct you, but you’re also wrong to think aitch is the only correct pronunciation.

My same friend that says 'mummy ' has supper. I inwardly roll my eyes.

Oohh they are all me ???!! Suppose you don't like me oh well I don't care
