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?

And I would never say hun or get fake grass!

ZaraW · 15/07/2017 19:04

I've never read the Metro but if it's the same misogynist, right wing, anti immigrant "journalism" that the DM publishes then I would be very judgy too....

antwaki · 15/07/2017 19:11

People who eat with their mouth open. Especially cereal. Makes me feel murderous - even if related.

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 15/07/2017 19:13

BishopBrennansArse I'm currently watching the first series of Versailles and constantly judging Louis XIV. Mainly for thinking looking vacantly into the distance constitutes a deep character Grin

Ginlinessisnexttogodliness · 15/07/2017 19:15

The way people dress babies: tiny baby girls with earrings, ridiculous Minnie Mouse bows, leopard print tat. Baby boys with waistcoats and flat caps and designer trainers.

Those fake plastic box hanging balls outside front doors.

Baby / Little Princess / Daddy's Dude car stickers

LOVE, HOME and Calm Down and ....... insert mawkish shite as appropriate.

Use of hideous term "Hun"

I feel awful but these things simply make my skin crawl.

BishopBrennansArse · 15/07/2017 19:16

That's George Blagden's acting 😂
Mind you, Alexander Vlahos....

Athenajm80 · 15/07/2017 19:20

People who ride their bikes on the pavement, especially if they're also wearing a bike helmet.

DragonsandDungeons · 15/07/2017 19:22

That's because there are hardly any cycle tracks

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 15/07/2017 19:23

Alexander Vlahos - he's on the list just under Monsieur Fabian the Amazing Detective and Wetworks Wonder Marchal! Wink

BishopBrennansArse · 15/07/2017 19:24

@PlinkyTheFairyWitch GrinGrinGrin
That's a good list

Wishfulmakeupping · 15/07/2017 19:25

Hot tubs! Moved to a very naice development and half the houses have got them urggh!
Denim on young babies
Baby girls with those huge headband flower things
Babies with pierced ears :(
The term 'full time mum'
Dad's 'babysitting'
No no no

user1498726699 · 15/07/2017 19:26

School mums with neck tattoos. Totally irrational as small ankle or arm tattoos don't bother me at all.

Parents who let their small DC zoom ahead on their scooters next to busy roads. Makes me shudder and I want to shake them!

Arborea · 15/07/2017 19:32

This is totally irrelevant, but I get my judgy pants out when people point the blades of knives the wrong way when setting the table. I have no idea why it bothers me so much, but it does!

CoffeeMilkNoSugar · 15/07/2017 19:34

People who give their children stupid 'cree8tiv' first names.

People who use the word 'hun'.

UKIP voters.

People who pierce their baby's ears.

People who don't read any books, ever.

People with no interests other than football, lager and daytime TV.

People who judge full-time mothers for being full-time mothers.

People who wear Instagram makeup on a day to day basis.

People who use those stupid Snapchat filters - do you honestly want to look like a dog?

People who boast about drinking any type of alcohol regularly and think it's anything to be proud of/funny/glamorous.

People who imitate an educated accent.

LikeAFish · 15/07/2017 19:35

Anyone that uses the word 'boob' as a verb.

I'm just boobing the baby.
I've boobed her all day.

Hmm
BuzzKillington · 15/07/2017 19:35

I totally judge people that hold a knife like a pen.

And have bad grammar.

Or those that say 'somethink'.

SabineUndine · 15/07/2017 19:37

Large expanses of things that aren't growing, in gardens. Decking, concrete, paving except in narrow paths, pebbles, plastic grass. It's a GARDEN. It's for things that GROW.

ManyManyShoes · 15/07/2017 19:40

People who say 'choccy'
People who use 'of' instead of 'have'.
Yes, tattoos. Some of my good friends have a lot of tats but if I don't know the person I do judge Blush
Platinum blonde hair with bad fake tan.
Pandora bracelet, hate those things!
Picky eaters. I mean those who eat only chips and nuggets type and pick out everything else, not those who refuse to eat say, sushi.
My biggest pet hate is those damn grey jogging pants that everybody seems to wear in the estate! Make anybody looks extra smelly.

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 15/07/2017 19:42

@BishopBrennansArse I like to think so! Grin

Honestly, the best thing about this serious is John Crace's episode guide with gems such as this:

Back indoors, Louis looks into the middle-distance enigmatically, while Cassel – whose chateau was burned down at the end of the last episode – is given a palace broom cupboard to live in. I hope it’s got washing facilities; his hair is beginning to look increasingly manky. If I didn’t know better, I’d take this as a sign he was up to no bon.

(Sorry to derail!)

user1498726699 · 15/07/2017 19:45

Filthy pushchair seats covered in stains and with the black/brown film on them. I want to say 'how can you let your kid sit in that'. Not that I always used to scrub mine at the slightest spill of juice.

People with toddlers screaming to get out of their buggies/supermarket trollies while they're gassing away/on their phones. Just engage with the poor kid FFS!

People who don't bathe/shower their DCs everyday or change their bedding regularly as 'kids don't smell'.

People who don't put the divider down after they've loaded their shopping on the checkout belt.

On a roll nowGrin.

Pinky333777 · 15/07/2017 19:47

These threads!!

They don't really. I've actually found it amusing to read through during my bus journey.

I just wanted to join in GrinGrinGrin

DragonsandDungeons · 15/07/2017 19:48

User you sound like an arsehole

LikeAFish · 15/07/2017 19:49

Really bad tattoos. At least save up and get it done by someone who can actually draw rather than the local down the road who doodles like an 8 year old.

user1498726699 · 15/07/2017 19:51

Maybe you could quantify that statement Dragons.
