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?

I judge parents who don't bother seeing their kids very often.

It's usually dads but sometimes it's mum's too yes I'm talking about you DSD's mum

Dozyoldtwonk · 15/07/2017 22:30

Oh, and definitely pierced ears on children, smoking when pregnant, and smoking when pushing a pram/pushchair/with young DC walking down the street. Just looks proper grim.

YY also to the sanitise everything brigade (is it really necessary).

I also judge no toilet paper, available hand towel and a dirty toilet - I've had all three recently Hmm

I, of course, am a perfect parent Smile

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

We are all full time mum's. Regardless of if we work or not.

I automatically assume anyone who joins any kind of MLM scheme has an IQ of a potato. Sorry Blush

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 22:32

People that don't understand apostrophes! Jeez

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 22:33

I mean people who obviously Grin

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 22:35

You aren't five. Who says "I'm a .... mummy" to other adults? In a serious way I mean.

We have a few at work who
Moan about their Long work trips , then come back and go in a self discovery retreat / without their kids !

Navy and black clash because they're too similar. However, if the navy is very dark and can pass for black I think you can get away with it.

supermoon100 · 15/07/2017 22:38

'Child on board' stickers

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 22:38

Yy to Apostrophes, Grumpy, it's not that hard! Soooo infuriating, particularly when it's on a sign/ shop front/ school/ nursery situation. Grrrrr...

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 22:40

Never, ever, ever, ever, Gwen! My wee mammy would turn in her grave.

Decaffstilltastesweird · 15/07/2017 22:40

I don't know if I judge these people. In fact, in some ways I admire them. But, I usually know I am unlikely to end up being close friends with someone (man or woman) if they are very 'done' in terms of their appearance men; lots of fake tan and make up. Clothes, nails and hair all very 'done'.

YTho · 15/07/2017 22:41

I judge people's food choices.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 15/07/2017 22:43

Oh and all of My neighbours who don't recycle
Small houses and yet they overfill their black bin every week

Cunts ☠️

And people that don't recycle their food even though we get food bins

All cunts

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 15/07/2017 22:45

I don't get the navy/black thing. Navy is just a tint, blue mixed with black. You may as well not wear black with dark red, dark green, dark purple or anything except saturated hues and pastels.

I wear it now and again an give nary a shit Grin

WanderingTrolley1 · 15/07/2017 22:48

Tattoos
Fake tan
Pregnant women who smoke
Tracksuit/trainers outside the gym
Pierced ears on children

Decaffstilltastesweird · 15/07/2017 22:52

Sorry for the random "men" in my post^^ Confused.

MyPatronusIsAUnicorn · 15/07/2017 22:59

Some of these are fully justified, some are irrational, some are downright nasty and some are just plain ridiculous. Why on earth would anyone judge anyone else for drinking instant coffee ffs, or where they keep their coffee? Why does anyone have the headspace to even think about this shit.

GallicosCats · 15/07/2017 23:02

Bloody stupid sleb names like Sir or Saint or North or Klaxon or Lavatoria or Incontinentia Buttocks.

Tattoos and ear stretchers.

'Food' that is plate paint instead of nutrition or sustenance, e.g. those little smears of coulis or 'foam'.

Am sure there's more but I'm starting to nod off.

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 23:04

Pinky, I love that you give nary a shit. That negates my judging. Wink
To pps who have said it's stylish these days, designers do it etc, that's all very well, but it's ingrained in me, I can't help my judgey pants coming out on show.

Bluntness100 · 15/07/2017 23:07

Well i can't believe I made it to page 17 and not guilty of anything apart from being judgey,,,Hmm

I'd add another one, women who blame their poor behaviour on being hormonal or having PMT. give it up, we are all women, you're giving us all a bad name by insinuating you can't help it. Grow up and own the fact you're behaving badly because you chose to. Stop trying to pretend it is not your fault. It is. Own it.

DragonsandDungeons · 15/07/2017 23:09

Bluntness that's not true. Just because it doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't affect others. I get horrid mood swings when I'm due on and pregnant.

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 15/07/2017 23:10

Judge away, wildbhoys, judge away! Halo

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 15/07/2017 23:11

Hang on, plastic grass is better and safer for children? No it fucking is not! Grass, green living natural, lovely smelling, fantastic for the planet and real honest to goodness dirty dirt, full of earthworms can only be great for every living thing. Do you mean your kids might get dirty, or come across bugs and beasties? How did children survive all this time without plastic grass? ffs.
