Toddlers eating greggs?
Fat people eating macdonalds?
P&C parking?
Fat people eating?
Disabled loos?
Fat people?

My own personal judgement is reserved for those people who hold their knife like a pen.

Cosikitty, I think it's ok for people not to judge. New experiences such as miscarriage and redundancy certainly taught me that you can never really know what someone feels like until you are in their position, so you shouldn't really judge them. None of us really knows what it is like to be in another person's shoes.

I think this is true. Sometimes certain experiences remind you not to judge so much. I've had a few of those.

I know some of this thread is light hearted but some of it isn't, it is just an excuse to be mean.

Anyway, I specifically said I do judge people on their judgements so I am not whiter than white myself, I quite often find myself thinking 'ignorant' or 'stupid' about other people's judgements and thus the judgement cycle is complete.

And, Honeydragon and others those dogs in those ears ... Grin my cat would chew my arm off if I tried to put ears on her.

Eating a pie with a spoon sounds awfully posh.
It's like eating a Rustlers burger accompanied with a vintage bottle of wine.

Infidelity. I've seen too many people (usually women, often with kids) being cheated on, lied to and then dragged through a horrible divorce just because their selfish arse of a partner decided they wanted something different.

Don't make the vows unless you mean them and plan to stick to them.

I judge those who judge women for not breastfeeding. I find those women to be some of the nastiest bitches I've ever met.

I judge those who judge fat people. If being thin was so easy then everyone would be. You have no idea why I'm fat so fuck off.

I judge everyone because they are not currently slurping my grandma's amazing chicken soup. Easter Grin

People who smoke in a car with children, in a room with children, over a pram with their kid in it. Basically smoking in front or around kids full stop. And I'm an on-off light smoker. I know it's a rubbish habit and I keep trying to quit forever, but I am fanatical about not doing it around other non-smokers and especially children. And I really don't mind if people judge me for smoking either - it's a shitty habit and they're right to do a cat's bum mouth should they see me. I promise to try harder.

Other than that, walk a hundred miles in another man's shoes etc. Although along with some other posters here, I's judge anyone who knowingly had an affair with a married family person, especially if there are kids involved. I have seen first hand the untold misery that shit causes kids and the injured parties. No shag is worth that ever, and if you can't keep your pants/skirt on then you're not a decent person and someone should call you on that.

Ev1lEdna · 15/04/2014 14:37

candycoated that is not judging, that is boasting and I judge you. Hmpf amazing soup. Easter Sad

Women who change their names when they get married.
Religious people.
People who don't drink tea or coffee.
People who only drink instant coffee.

This is so cathartic.

I need this explaining ephemera. Easter Confused

ephemeralfairy · 15/04/2014 15:30

I just remembered one of my most ridiculous ones:

People who but cards that state the occasion they are marking/celebrating: ie birthday cards that say 'Happy Birthday' or Mother's Day cards that say 'Happy Mothers' Day'. I think it shows a lack of imagination.

I am judgy about the sheer self-centred insolent inconsideration for others that some people demonstrate, this includes: litter, dogshit, smoking (the main ones) but also bloody bad manners like not holding doors open, playing music so loud that even with earphones others can hear it, simple courtesies like please and thank you, leaving crap around the place thinking some magic fairy will clear it up.....am Angry about these things at the moment as I have teenagers grrrrr but it's not just teenagers.

EvansOvalPiesYumYum · 15/04/2014 15:32

Have to admit I'm a bit Confused about the Help for Heroes hoodies comment

This started out as a light-hearted thread, and I joined in, in a light-hearted way. But some comments are starting to annoy me a bit.

It would appear so usual. I have no idea why though....

Sparklingbrook · 15/04/2014 15:33

I agree Evans, there are things that you are judgy about and then there's complete madness......

Vegetarians who don't like vegetables or pulses, or most other common vegetarian food, so seem to exist on things like chips and cheese sandwiches so are impossible to cater for or find a suitable restaurant for when eating out.

Adults who are fussy about food and eat a limited diet without good reason (allergies).

People who say they 'cannot afford vegetables' but seem to have plenty of money for fizzy pop, takeways and expensive mobile phones.

People that only eat shitty food.

People who drive very short distances (less than a mile) and are generally very inactive and then complain that they 'cannot lose weight' or don't know why they keep putting weight on.

People who drop litter, especially if it is from their cars.

People who sit in car parks with the engine running.

I'm not sure if I would judge the people eating pies with a teaspoon mentioned upthread. On the rare occasion I try to eat a pie or pasty outside the comfort of my own home (eg in the car or street) I seem to end up dropping half of it on my front, so they appear to have come up with a solution to avoid such a problem.

Can only thin people 'Help the Heros'?

Yes Usual, actually only thin people can support charity.
