I'm always convinced I'm being judged whenever I go to the supermarket (about once a month!) we go to the butcher for meat, have a veg box and live near a farm where we get eggs and milk so our trolley contains alcohol, yogurt, frozen chips and other products designed to make every passing nose turn up in disdain. I was once actually asked by someone on the checkout whether I knew I should be giving my child fruit and veg, I told her I didn't believe in it for the under 5s as I didn't fancy discussing my food choices in a stranger!

McFox - how fat is really fat? I am trying to determine whether or not I am causing people's panties to bunch.

People who drive while on talking on their phones Angry

People who let their children get (not just a bit) hugely overweight. The children can't buy their own food; YOU buy it, YOU cook it for them, YOU should be able to make sure they aren't eating so much they can't run about and get teased at school.

(And I stress again I am not talking about children who are "a bit chunky")

Whoever said adults who like Winnie the Pooh is bang out of order. The closing paragraphs of The House at Pooh Corner are amongst the most poignant in the English language.

On a serious note cruelty to animals and children. If we could eradicate that I'd get over all my petty irritations.

Sexism- particularly the low-grade, every day stuff which too many women from workers in the sex trade to ladettes to women who think it's all just a laugh collude in.(or do I mean collude with?)

TBH I'm so utterly convinced of my own innate superiority I don't get annoyed or irritated by much.It's more a sense of feeling sorry for people who aren't as wonderful, clever and stylish as me.

Oh dear, so so many of the above.

I wish I wasn't a judger. I don't believe it's ever our place to judge anyone else, especially if you don't know them. Yet I do it all the time. Luckily, because I know it's wrong, I only ever do it internally (or on MN Wink ) so everyone I know thinks I am completely non judgemental and non shockable! If only they knew!!

The worst thing about the following list is that I do/am some of them so I am even judging myself! Blush Plus I do far worse things!

So, here goes. I judge (more reasonable ones nearer the top of the list, totally unacceptable judging nearer the bottom):

people who drink and drive
people who smoke while pregnant
people who smoke around children
people who drive while on the phone
people who drive over the speed limit (less so on motorways)
people who tailgate
people who don't indicate
people who leave their young children home alone
people who leave their pre teenage children alone at night
people who (imo) do not supervise their children properly
people who don't take regular exercise (when they could)
people who feed their children lots of processed and/or unhealthy food
people who spread rumours and gossip about others
people who lie, steal, cheat and other general thought bad things
people who share their offensive views
people who swear at their children
people who swear in their children's hearing
people who allow their children to swear
people who don't engage with their children enough
people who don't make the most of their opportunities
people who always look on the negative side of everything
people who park in spaces they aren't entitled to
people who eat takeaways
people who eat in fast food restaurants
people who talk and laugh reeeally loudly in public
people who loud parent
people who boast
people who don't dress to flatter their figure
people who are dirty or smelly (or their clothes are)
people who buy their child every new gadget going

and the absolute worst of all (and one of my biggest secrets because I know how hideous it is, especially as a) I have anorexia and am underweight and b) know how many varied and uncontrollable factors there are around weight) ... scared to even admit it ...

very fat people Blush This includes my own mother and a few good friends. They must never know this about me.

I know, I know, the issue is all mine. I project my own horror and unacceptability of fat. But there it is. I do it. But I would never show it.
