  1. People who apply nail polish on top of chipped polish are generally false/pretentious
  1. People who go out of their way to keep their downstairs neat but couldn't care about upstairs, are the "keeping up appearances" types

I know I might be wrong, but I don't care and if you don't care join in with your opinions

Thank you!

I judge people who don't remove the price labels from the undersides of their shoes, and I assume they are the same people who don't flush their poo.

I judge Yoo'Nique spellings of names too.

Last night I was wrapping up presents for some friend's children who (all three of them) have Yoonique spellings of traditional names (think 'Rozee', 'Daizey' type of nonsense). As if I don't have enough to do at the moment in addition to having to find out how their names are bloody spelled! But you just know if you don't spell the children's names 'correctly' on the present tags, their parents will log it in their minds as an insult.

My judgements.

  1.  Anyone who cares that much about someone else’s nail polish routine has both too much time on their hands.
    
  2.  Anyone who wants to police the tidiness levels of someone else’s home (unless it’s actively a health hazard/hoarding space etc), especially the parts they can’t even see, definitely has too much time on their hands.
    

I recommend getting a hobby and fussing less about whether someone is maintaining some kind of perfect suburban desperate housewives style existence.

(disclaimer – I don’t wear nail polish and the whole of my house is currently actually rather clean and tidy)

40+ women who wear Stan smiths, skinny jeans and All Saints leather jackets, probably don't change their sheets often enough.

FloralBarbourCoat · 21/12/2016 13:21

Tbh OP- id just call those people lazy/cant be arsed/better things to do with their life- like me Xmas Grin

CaraAspen · 21/12/2016 13:30

People who use the word "tribe" when they are not referencing actual tribes.

HerBluebiro · 21/12/2016 13:37

Bit redundant that cara. You had already judged me for language choice right on page 1.

I am referencing a tribe. A group of people with shared language, culture and dress that live in the same region.

You may have your own words. We have already established we are not the same.

misshelena · 21/12/2016 13:39

OP- I think the ppl who do the polish over chipped nails and the downstairs/upstairs thing are just lazy.

Also, I judge:

  • antivax crazies, climate change deniers, conspiracy theorists, holocaust deniers
  • "orthodox" of any kind
  • ppl who are too PC to admit that Islam is not good to women, or that some ppl have higher IQ or are better looking, or that being overweight is not healthy nor beautiful, etc.
CaraAspen · 21/12/2016 13:40

Tribe is so try-hard.

headinhands · 21/12/2016 13:42

People over 25 that wear Superdry. Trying hard to be fashionable and current.

CaraAspen · 21/12/2016 13:43

"...climate change deniers, conspiracy theorists, holocaust deniers

  • "orthodox" of any kind
  • ppl who are too PC to admit that Islam is not good to women, or that some ppl have higher IQ or are better looking, or that being overweight is not healthy nor beautiful, etc."

Good list. I concur.

headinhands · 21/12/2016 13:43

People who go on about not watching soaps/any popular to show. 'Look at me I'm so above you all'

CaraAspen · 21/12/2016 13:44

"headinhands

People over 25 that wear Superdry. Trying hard to be fashionable and current."

Oh God, yes!!

headinhands · 21/12/2016 13:48

Men in white linen pants with cream trilby hats and sunglasses at night

So the man from Delmonte has to change before a night out? Grin

Andyouarebecause · 21/12/2016 14:01

Anyone who looks down on modern houses, pop culture, social media and internet thinks they are cultured and I judge them

MeetMeAtMidnight · 21/12/2016 14:01

Tribe is so try hard and 'so try hard' isn't? Actual LOL - yeah I know a gazillion mners are now judging me for that but I honestly did.

The irony in some of this is delicious. I just get a mental image of those who are so sniffy about what they perceive as naff, chavvy, common, dated, tasteless, feverishly, constantly and assiduously checking themselves, their homes, their children and their language to make sure no element of 'non-u' sullies their pristine lifestyle. They are carefully tailored models of impeccable style and classic, understated elegance as dictated by Nancy Mitford, Vogue, The Lady and Ideal Home. Must be exhausting.

headinhands · 21/12/2016 14:10

People who call things chavy. Someone once told be they thought a mutual friend's new house was chavy because it had a double garage.

MeetMeAtMidnight · 21/12/2016 14:18

Shit, then what are they thinking about my triple-garage?

schmack · 21/12/2016 14:19

Mine are:

Personalised plates - naff and considerably richer than yow types who aren't.
People who judge people who don't have books on display downstairs - faux intellectual snobbery.
People with dogs who don't look after them properly and let them bark for hours.
People who park over drives.
People who brag and showoff about their kids.
People begging for frer items on Facebook with fake sob stories. Go to the shops like everyone else!
People who talk about events that happened in the past in the present tense (particularly newsreaders)
People who consistently ignore the rules of grammar.

Don't get the nail polish thing though.

CaraAspen · 21/12/2016 14:21

No garage at all where I live! The property is over 300 years old, and obviously listed, so modern monstrosities are not allowed!

CaraAspen · 21/12/2016 14:22

@MeetMeAtMidnight!

MagicMary1 · 21/12/2016 14:22

Thank you could not have put it better myself.

Posters who say, "I've just told my DH and he says.." (because a man's
view is all that's required 🙄 )

MeetMeAtMidnight · 21/12/2016 14:31

@Cara I really really hope you typed that channelling Meryl Street in "The Devil Wears Prada" with a little, sneery curl of the lip, a slight flaring of the nostrils and an almost imperceptible roll of the eyes.

RentANDBills · 21/12/2016 14:38

CaraAspen Are you actually real??
