Irrational Judgy Pants thread.

[FretYeNotAllIsShiny]

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?

Maybe I can post where I like.

People aren't allowed to have a moan about in laws or have any type of opinion with you. You're on it immediately. You must be fun at parties!

People that sell their pets on Facebook.

Mine is cyclists who think they are immune to standard road safety rules and give you, the car driver, a hard time when it is their fuckwittery that put them in danger!

When somebody uses i.e. instead of e.g.

And now I don't know how to punctuate the end of the above sentence, so would be laughed out of Pedants' Corner. Do you put another full stop after using one for an abbreviation?

There should be a different type of punctuation to signify abbreviations.

Things that irrationally annoy me:
Hipsters
Incorrect use of pluralisation
Ridiculous pouts
Silly fb posts declaring undying love... for the person sat next to you on the sofa ffs!!!
Pretentious people
Entitled people
Rude or unkind people

People who use learn and teach the wrong way round e.g. I'll learn you how to do that.
People who use itch and scratch the wrong way round e.g. I need to itch my foot.
Definitely babies with pierced ears
Parents who don't parent, by which I mean stare at their phone while their toddler screams for attention or trashes the shop etc

Are you stalking me? You weirdo.

Inertia, nope, one full stop is always enough

(probably pissing off people who judge pedants)

Lots of mine already mentioned.

"Princess/baby on board" stickers on Car. So what?

AstroTurf gardens - naff

Hot tubs.

Bins in front garden.

Flags in cars when World Cup on

Topless men in hot weather - yak

Thin leggings

Inertia - one rarely punctuates common abbreviations nowadays so you can just put eg or ie on their own.

I think it's more annoying when brands have irregular capitalisation or punctuation for example eBay or Yahoo! because it's difficult to know how to treat them at the beginning or end of sentences and every possibility looks wrong.

Disney children's books. CRAP literature.

@BishopBrennansArse

Yeah, probably. I wouldn't judge you too harshly on that one

Ok, here is the disclaimer. I'm premenstrual, normal transmission will be redumed in a week or so.

Things I judge

Giving children " labels " instead of names , could be the Tallulah and Chardonnay variety, of the Oak and Bhodi hippy variety. I'm a fully paid up tree hugger, and my kids have names they could take to a job interview.

Instant coffee. I think it denotes total lack of taste. But that could just be disappointment.

Flashy cars. Makes me think they might as well hang a huge sign saying Tosser, or I'm In Debt.

People who wear socks and sandals. Why just why on earth would you do that!

Lesis what's wrong with people calling themselves full time mummy's when it's the truth?

Kurst what's wrong about Astro turf? It's cleaner and safer for kids

Parents who shower their DCs with everything they WANT e.g. fancy clothes, latest gadgets, stays in posh hotels. But can't be arsed to give their DCs what they NEED e.g. a calm and stable home life, clean uniform, turning up for sports day.

My SIL spends her life thinking she's the most special fucking snowflake in the snow storm. She runs up huge CC bills treating her DCs to stuff they don't actually need what 10 year old needs a spa day and a night in a boutique hotel ffs but it's me who shows up for DN's sports day because SIL needs to chillax at home. And it was me who took her uniform shopping the day before term started because SIL hadn't bothered.

SIL has issues around alcohol. And that is a tragedy.

But I will judge her and her bloody selfish self centered attitude to the day I die.

Plinky that sounds like it should be the punchline to a joke.

MrsHathaway I know what you mean - I often find that I have to rearrange sentences to avoid such issues.

"It's cleaner and safer for kids"

But long term, more plastic pollution for this world.

And we need dirt! And we need bees, including those that live in lawns. And worms etc.

I do judge the sanitise every thing brigade. We are too clean. And too plastic.

The sanitise everything lot are annoying. I got dirty looks of one mother because I didn't wipe my son's hands before and after he touched some toys, whereas she was attacking hers with water wipes...

Crocs, just wrong on every level...

Dungeons I'm still waiting for you to explain your personal attack on me although gathering from your last post, I can assume I touched a nerve.

I feel terrible even writing this as I'm sure they have their place, but I hate seeing young children on reigns of any sort - remind me of dogs on a lead. Just wrong.

What's wrong with a glittery toilet seat

I loved mine

Mine is women who commute in really uncomfortable high heels (or men just don't see many) they tooter along and it's dangerous and it's looks so silly
Like Miss Piggy

"women who commute in really uncomfortable high heels "

Women at the end of a night out carrying their shoes and walking in their tights along streets full of broken glass.
