What if it was an ironic toilet seat?

I can't say a glittery toilet seat would bother me. Not like, say, a UKIP poster in the window might Grin

Lexieblue · 15/07/2017 14:05

Net curtains. Anything lace intended for bathroom including those poncy toilet roll covers that look like a cross between a doily and a rara skirt. 80s brown beige soft furnishings.

On a more serious note, I do tend to judge people I meet on their teeth and it's really really wrong and I really really shouldnt. I got brought up on those red tablets where your teeth had to be medically sterile though so I'm going to blame nurture for that

Pierced baby ears Blush I get rage when I see it even though it's not actually my business. I make an immediate value judgement.

A Union Jack or England flag always makes me think the owner is probably a bald 40 year fat white man.

Gwenhwyfar · 15/07/2017 14:11

Lexiblue - if the state of someone's teeth tells you anything, it's how much money they have. Some people with seemingly perfect teeth will have been able to afford implants and other treatments.

ConstanceCraving · 15/07/2017 14:12

Tattooed eyebrows. Fucking hell such a bad look.

FretYeNotAllIsShiny · 15/07/2017 14:12

Some of these are rather rational squints at Nicolas

D&D, my dh loves an England flag, fits your stereotype perfectly, I try to overlook his foibles, after all, he hasn't said anything about all my skulls and gothicy crap...

Gosh, probably going to be flamed for this, but Rachel Riley's dresses on Countdown. I know, it's the wardrobe department and she's a gorgeous woman woman with a fabulous figure. Why must she be dressed like she's about to go out clubbing? I feel like Mary Whitehouse most days as I say 'she wouldn't get away with wearing that in an office!' (Judgy pants wedgy). As a balance, Nick Hewer has some questionable tie/shirt combos most days as well.

Ok, I'll go hide (from the Daily Mail) now Blush.

Lexieblue · 15/07/2017 14:15

I suppose that's true gwen although my family all working class and very particular about teeth. I don't mean arrangement of them i mean cleanliness/whiteness. I know it's bad to judge on something so superficial though and try really hard to not do it.

ZaraW · 15/07/2017 14:16

Astroturf is awful and tacky closely followed by a hot tub.

Novinosincebambino · 15/07/2017 14:16

Nicholasflamel we're in Spain right now and everyone keeps calling my dd a boy. I pointed out she's a girl and was informed that in Spain the pierce newborn girls ears so that's why they're confused. Wouldn't dream of piercing a baby's ears! Hmm

Gwenhwyfar · 15/07/2017 14:19

"'she wouldn't get away with wearing that in an office!'"

Vest tops, shorts and flip flop are allowed in my office.

DonaldStott · 15/07/2017 14:20

I, like a PP, judge people who get their young children's ears pierced.

It's horrid and tacky and self-indulgent.

Kids are already beautiful, they don't need holes poked in their flesh and decorating!!!

MamaHanji · 15/07/2017 14:22

I've always had really lovely teeth. Perfectly straight, no stains, lovely and white. And then during pregnancy I was so unwell that the minerals started leeching out of the teeth and now I have a permanent white bit that looks like plaque on the front top teeth 😞

On a less depressing note, I judge people with car stickers that say 'run by fairy dust' and pierced baby ears and children wearing shit plastic shoes.

DonaldStott · 15/07/2017 14:22

Vest tops, shorts and flip flop are allowed in my office.

Yes, but are arse skimming dresses barely containing your breasts allowed?

SheSaidHeSaid · 15/07/2017 14:23

Pierced baby ears

This.

You obviously don't think your baby us cute enough as it is so you've had to add jewlery to it to jazz it up WinkGrin

LeakyLittleBoat · 15/07/2017 14:26

Re 294942612

I read your post and thought 'troll' because I didn't believe that of all the things (which are legion) glitter can make more attractive, a toilet seat would be one of them.

Then I made a random leap of logic and tried typing 'shitty' to see if autocorrect would somehow make it into 'glittery' but it didn't.

So I googled 'glittery toilet seat' (hope no one ever has cause to search my browsing history) and found to my amazement that there really is such a thing. Actually many many such things with varying amounts of bedazzled-ness ranging from mere glitter to actual sparkly diamanté-osity! You can even get a glittery toilet roll holder! Is it wrong that I'm actually a bit taken by them?

NicolasFlamel · 15/07/2017 14:26

I saw a little girl last week, I would say around 18 months ish. She had two piercings in each ear, both hoops so bloody hazardous as well as grim
Confused I'm surprised anyone would agree to do double piercings on a baby and I don't know how the parents thought it looked nice!

EggysMom · 15/07/2017 14:27

Round here, people that leave their front door open, sunbathe on their frontstep (when they have a perfectly acceptable back garden), and then scream their offsprings' names at the top of their voices to call them back for dinner ... like a foghorn going off ...

LeakyLittleBoat · 15/07/2017 14:28

Not sure where the random number came from

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 15/07/2017 14:28

I judge car stickers. Especially those stupid sticker families. It's not your high school locker.

"Full Time Mummies"

"Gender Reveals"

Adults who are picky eaters for no other reason than they only like potatoes.

...I just sound like an asshole, but I can't help the hatred of it.

DragonsandDungeons · 15/07/2017 14:29

^ not all picky eaters are going to disclose their reasons, just something to think of

DonaldStott · 15/07/2017 14:30

People who use the words 'friendship group'

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 15/07/2017 14:31

Fair point, Dragons I genuinely don't know the reasons.

Like I said, it makes me sound like an asshole. I'd never say it in real life.

NoncommittalToSparkleMotion · 15/07/2017 14:32

And yes, friendship group. {Shudder}
