I've got new neighbours. I really doubt they are my kind of people. They've got a glittery toilet seat.

What makes you hoik up your Irrational Judgy Pants?

People who think older women aren't on MN and that they haven't got a clue anyway 😊

CheshireChat · 15/07/2017 17:33

People who keep the TV on all day, everyday for their kids.

Completely U as I live on a main road, but people talking under my window.

EssieTregowan · 15/07/2017 17:34

Grin I have a coffee machine but I actually prefer my Douwe Egberts. Sixteen cups a day.

emilybrontescorset · 15/07/2017 17:36

I judge parents who pierce young children's ears.
I judge people who constantly tell everyone how much they love their husband/wife on Facebook, especially those who know their oh has cheated.
I judge those who do everything for their oh and great them like a baby.
I judge those with vastly unkempt gardens and people who remove all the grass and replace it with pebbles, then allow weeds to grow through the pebbles.
I judge people who park on their lawn when they have a perfectly good drive.
I judge parents who dress their dc In clothes with slogans declaring how much they love their daddy or mummy.

In Spain, baby girls ears are pierced in hospItal. I was totally shocked when my friend told me this. Her daughter's ears were pierced in hospital & she's fairly conservative. Grim indeed.

Flopjustwantscoffee · 15/07/2017 17:38

I have my tea etc decanted into jars that say tea, coffee, sugar etc but my understanding is (I have been helpfully informed) that this is a lower middle class thing. Upper middle class = tea/sugar in its original container. Although actually the main reason
I decant sugar and food stuff is because we have a big ant problem... if I saw someone with sugar in its original box I would probably think"they don't have an ant problem" rather than judge.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 15/07/2017 17:38

TheGrumpySquirrel

Oh and I judge people who drink instant

I don't, but I am prepared to judge anyone who decants it into a special container marked "coffee". I'm 58 and I didn't even know this was a thing.

Flopjustwantscoffee · 15/07/2017 17:39

Oh, to the list I would add people who rearrange other people's cupboards and who make helpful comments about where on the class scale ones containers for tea puts one

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 17:39

We have a coffee machine but I prefer instant (yes I know I'm a philistine but I don't care), Douwe Egberts is lovely! DP likes coffee machine coffee.

BouncyHedgehog · 15/07/2017 17:39

People who think there's a right and wrong way to enjoy food (e.g. chefs who refuse to do well done steak)

Onhold · 15/07/2017 17:40

Why would you judge someone for drinking instant coffee?

emilybrontescorset · 15/07/2017 17:44

I also judge those who wear football tops/shorts anywhere other than at a match.

strawberrysalsa · 15/07/2017 17:45

Mine is people who refuse to enunciate...I have been on training courses where the trainers managed to whole day without ever approaching the letter 't'...I live in Leeds which partially explains I suppose. But it made me cringe every time and I ended the day with a headache because I found it all so stressful.

Which shows how pathetically judgy I am.

I can also add babies with pierced ears to my list and mothers who totally ignore their children as they are glued to their phones.

Mmzz · 15/07/2017 17:45

I judge people who wear pyjamas on the school run, whether they get out of the car or not, whether they have a good reason for needing to go back to bed or not.
Basically, if their house burned down last night and they only escaped wearing their pyjamas, then fair enough but anyone else get dressed!

Girty999 · 15/07/2017 17:47

I'm incredibly jiffy but usually only in my head or to my man, I hate #soblessed #makingmemories and mums who can't wait for school holidays because they love spending all that time with their perfect children, people who use washable sanitary towels washable baby wipes freak me out, people who sit outside the front of their houses and or take sink get chairs outside to sit on, people who spit, pta mums the cliquey bitches, school discos, people bragging about how clever their children are on Facebook all the time, people who go for days out without arguing, people who think the world owes them, mums in the playground who look like they are off to a wedding, who has time to get that ready in a morning? ... I have more but would probably offend people so I can't lol x

Supersoaryflappypigeon · 15/07/2017 17:48

DDog, DCat, DNephew, DNiece etc.

Just type cat ffsAngry

Littlewhistle · 15/07/2017 17:50

Personalised numberplates - especially ones that people think spell their name which they don't and look really naff

SabineUndine · 15/07/2017 17:52

People whose user name defines them in terms of other people. 'Someone'sMum' for example.

And I know this is terribly wrong of me and evil but people who hold their cutlery the wrong way.

JCo24 · 15/07/2017 17:52

Our old Indian neighbours voted BNP two elections ago. We were less judgemental and more confused though...

JCo24 · 15/07/2017 17:53

Should clarify though, we knew this because they had the signs and posters everywhere. 😬

DragonsandDungeons · 15/07/2017 17:56

JC what the hell? We're an Indian/white family and either of us would get shot if we did that! 😂

lynmilne65 · 15/07/2017 17:57

Those who can't post without the f and c word
it ruins the post and makes them look illiterate 🤐

Mmzz · 15/07/2017 17:57

UKIP voters who voted remain (4 in every hundred, apparently).

CostaCoffeeRoyalty · 15/07/2017 17:58

When parents dress their children so they match (whether it's twins or not)... it's not cute in the slightest, it's just weird.

Sushi123 · 15/07/2017 18:01

People who drink energy drinks
Fat families
Certain names e.g. Courtney, Xavier
People who shout/swear at their kids
I judge a lot of people's trolleys in the supermarket - fizzy drinks, multipacks of crisps, sugary cereals and pot noodles among the biggest offenders
