to ask: what makes you want to hoist up your judgey pants?

For me, it's the ignorance on vaccinations and the belief that measles is just a regular childhood disease. Makes me want to beat people with a large stick.

Haha, thanks Worra, I used literally didn't I? I've just re-read what I wrote and I'm gnashing teeth at it. NOT literally.

I was just mad at that stupid 'judge the Mum (for fuck all) but not the Dad that I lost my command of the English language! And the wrong use of literally bugs me.

I'll pm you my address for the laxatives

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 30/04/2015 00:40

I do a few of the things on this thread cola and call of duty anyone?
I'm a live and let live type but I hate snobbery. People who talk down to or patronise others get my pants a hoiking.

DressedUpJustLikeEdie · 30/04/2015 03:48

I judge the people with large blackheads as well. I just don't know how they can stand to see them in the mirror every day and not feeling a burning urge to get them out. And the really big ones are pretty easy to get out without too much fuss or pain or disfigurement if you prep the area properly first. If you suffer from very congested skin get a deep clarifying facial from someone that knows what they are doing once every three months or so, or just invest in a small facial sauna which is cheap as chips and ease them out yourself.

People who drop litter, and people who are sitting at picnic tables/ park bench/ cinema seats and leave all their rubbish strategically jammed into gaps in the table/ chair, when there is a bin a few feet away.

People who make completely stupid threats to their children eg. If you don't let your sister have a shot on your bike, I'll call the Easter Bunny, Santa and the Police, who will come and take all your toys and put you in jail . Even more so when they interrupt me telling DS off for something and "helpfully" threaten him with similar if he isn't listening to me.

CheerfulYank · 30/04/2015 05:14

I want to get at some enormous blackheads now!

Someone I went to school with made no bones about the fact that she lied to her doctor about symptoms she was having in her pregnancy so she could be induced three weeks early and go out with her friends on New Year's Eve.

I don't know why the doctor didn't realize she was faking!

CheerfulYank · 30/04/2015 05:15

Ugh yes RedButton. My SIL used to threaten her DC with the doctor. "If you don't wear your coat, you'll get sick and have to go to the doctor for a shot!"

HoundoftheBaskervilles · 30/04/2015 05:22

I'm smoking a fag RIGHT NOW and I may have just dropped a Rizla On The Fucking floor.

I'm withering under you judgement.

Ouch.

Floppityflop · 30/04/2015 06:16

I am judging people who judge blackheads! Not so easy to remove except by squeezing (not such a good idea if you have hundreds).

RedButtonhole · 30/04/2015 07:28

Yip, never understand people who threaten and scare their children with the very people who are there to help!

Hound I stopped smoking a few months ago, I am not judging you, I'm jealous

fakenamefornow · 30/04/2015 07:59

I'll say it again because it's my ultimate judge. Parents (usually dads) who wash their hands of their children and/or pay little or no maintenance.

Oh and babies/toddlers with ear rings, did they want that done? Did they consent? No, didn't think so.

SunnyBaudelaire · 30/04/2015 08:32

" Parents (usually dads) who wash their hands of their children and/or pay little or no maintenance."

These fuckers deserve it esp the ones who then blame it all on their evil exwife who has usually 'prevented him from seeing the children'.

RingforJeeves · 30/04/2015 08:46

Parents giving young children energy drinks. Those things have a hell of an effect on me and I'm a rather large adult who's built up a caffeine tolerance over the years. I saw a child who couldn't have been older than 3 being given an extra large one in a sippy cup today.

People who let their kids run wild in public places and don't even attempt to monitor them. Again, today in my local Tesco I saw two boys aged maybe 5-6 running around pushing people's trolleys into the displays, screeching and screaming and stopping every few minutes to brawl with each other. No parent in sight. That isn't 'letting children be children', that's letting little brats get away with murder.

Mmmmmmm!!!!!!!
Id LOVE that! I cannot understand why you wouldn't just spend lovely evenings popping them out! I can't wait for my kids to be spitty teenagers! I plan to secretly baste them in their sleep.
How big is your biggest one?

I over use the word literally all the time.

I literally do send myself into a rage when I find myself saying it!

Sansarya · 30/04/2015 10:38

Men who don't help with childcare. I see it all time - on MN threads, in real life, and the worst thing is that some women seem to think that that's the norm, that men are somehow incapable of being responsible for their children. I don't know how they put up with such useless feckers!

Livjames1 · 30/04/2015 14:07

"Single" mums who arrange for their boyfriend/husband/partner etc to move out and go live round the corner at his parents house in order to claim more in tax credits/housing benefit/IS etc. Especially the ones who think they're super clever and say as long as they're not legally living at the same house that they can get away with it. I mean sod the fact that they still act like a couple ie seeing each other daily, going on holiday together, doing each other's diy etc. I know three people who are currently doing this and are quite blatently defrauding the system and they just don't give a damn, it really pisses me off!

DoraGora · 30/04/2015 14:16

Shop them, then, James. Smacks more than a little bit of Daily Mail style benefit bashing hysteria, to me. But, if they're genuine people and up to some kind of fiddle, then hand them in.

CupidStuntSurvivor · 30/04/2015 14:31

Floppity - they are actually fairly easy to remove...and I definitely judge people who have hundreds! I'm prone to blackheads but there's never a visible one on my face. They take seconds to get rid of normally!

geekymommy · 30/04/2015 14:49

People who chain their dogs in their yards all day (and in some cases, all night). You have a dog... why, again?

I'd bet that most child abusers are parents. Non-parents aren't in contact with children as much as parents are. They have less opportunity to abuse children. They also have someone to give the kid back to when they get to the end of their rope, at least in theory.

People who crudely paint their house number on their wheely bin instead of paying 50p for number stickers.

But the bins are outside in wet weather, and that can make stickers come off. It's much less likely to make paint come off.

angelos02 · 30/04/2015 15:16

People that say 'obviously' about things that aren't obvious at all.
