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.

The woman who I saw walking up the road at 1pm on Sunday in leopard print pjs and a slightly mis-matching dressing gown. I used to see it frequently in a Tesco near where I worked at the time, when I would pop in at lunchtim - it was so rife at the time it made the papers and they had a no pj rule clearly marked outside.

"New" St. Mellons by any chance?

shrunkenhead · 28/04/2015 20:51

People who let their kids eat food in supermarkets before paying for it. Yes it's hard having a screaming baby/toddler but feed them BEFORE you go shopping.

butterflyballs · 28/04/2015 20:53

You really judge ALL of those?

Just glad my kids are in bed before 9am!!

Lambzig, that's horrible. Horrible old cow had no right. But at least you are feeding your child fruit and won't make it onto the very long list.

Derek, I was in greggs once and the woman serving told the next customer to come back when they were off the phone. I nearly cheered :o

People who judge proudly and think of a million things to put on these threads

puling up judgey pants

oh please it sounds so twatish

ScaryMaryHinge · 28/04/2015 20:58

People who listen to music via headphones when they're out with their children. Only ok if you've got a sleeping baby/toddler in a buggy.

shrunkenhead · 28/04/2015 20:58

Yes, Butterfly, I do....oops did I put 9am I meant 9pm! Surely it benefits everyone to have kids in bed at a reasonable hour otherwise there is no time goes adults to cook/clean etc and tired kids will be grumpy the next day.

bizmum1 · 28/04/2015 20:58

People who drop litter - disgusting

stircrazyinthecountry · 28/04/2015 20:59

My niece and nephews diets. Chocolate for breakfast, tea with three sugars (since 3 years old), cola, pizza etc etc. Not a vegetable in sight because "they don't like them".

Lambzig · 28/04/2015 21:01

Shrunken, of course I had fed him before, he had breakfast of scrambled eggs and tomatoes on wholemeal toast and wolfed the lot 20 minutes before. It makes no difference. It's either that or he screams the whole way round.

And before you tell me to shop online- I do, but we are trying to operate with a tighter budget, so Aldi or Lidl for the basics, DH is away and I have to go on one of my days I don't work.

All that judgement is bad for the soul people.

butterflyballs · 28/04/2015 21:01

I guess it depends on how old the kids are? And Really who cares? They aren't your kids and it doesn't affect you.

People who don't line up @ bus stops then crowd around the door on buses trying to get on, while people try to alight. The driver should be allowed to shut half the door while people are getting off.

shrunkenhead · 28/04/2015 21:02

Oh yes , headphones when you should be talking/interacting either your baby/toddler
Buggies facing the wrong way (ie not facing the parent )
People thrusting pushchairs into roads hoping the traffic will stop
Huge buggies on buses that don't fold up

Zebrasinpyjamas · 28/04/2015 21:02

People who sit in cars for ages with the engine running. I don't understand why they do it! I particularly hate it outside schools but see a lot of people on the school run doing it. Surely they don't want their children breathing in polluted air?

msgrinch · 28/04/2015 21:03

shrunken have this Wine you need it.

shrunkenhead · 28/04/2015 21:04

Stircrazy Tesco have delivery slots available for £1 hardly worth getting the car out, and you save by mot impulse buying.

notquiteruralbliss · 28/04/2015 21:04

What SunnyBaudelaire said.

shrunkenhead · 28/04/2015 21:05

Sorry not impulse buying.

butterflyballs · 28/04/2015 21:07

Don't get drawn in lambzig, your child is 2. I once saw a woman open a packet of fruit salad and stand and eat it with a spoon. In the fruit aisle. She had no trolley or basket. No idea if she paid for it. So odd!

And cheers for the wine, guys, my DD is fast asleep (obv) so I can enjoy itSmile

AndHarry · 28/04/2015 21:07

Peopke who sneer at others because of the way they dress, their job, where they live, perceived income, accent etc.

Reverse-snobbery. It's no better than the conventional type.

Dog poo leavers.

Internet bullies.

Serial feckless fathers.

msgrinch · 28/04/2015 21:08

You're welcome. I must say my size 12 behind looks cracking in leggings and a dress so I don't agree with you.

I'm pretty boring, I only judge major things such as smoking around children etc.

queeneileen · 28/04/2015 21:10

People who seem to thrive on personal drama and repeat said drama for 8hrs a day, 5 days a week.

Colleague: I am LOOKING AT YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU.

Pyjamaschocolateandwine · 28/04/2015 21:17

Used to be a judgy young parent back in the day.

Now lots older and far more empathetic and laid back.

I only judge real evil like child cruelty or animal cruelty.

The rest are different life style choices to mine.
