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?

Anyone over the age of 21 referring to themselves as a girl. 'Girls night out!', what is that, Guides camping trip? Youth club?

Hashtags.

People who talk really loudly on public transport, there's usually a particular type that does this, usually boasting in a really posh voice and sound like they are off their faces on cocaine!

gallicos incontinentia buttocks had me spitting my wine out.
I judge
Wolf coats esp worn as a couple v popular a few years back. DH and I used to wolf howl out our car window of we saw a couple with them. Tack tacky tacky tack.
Male and female circumcision . Mutalation reguardless of religion.
People who say asd is not a problem it's the parents who can't control their kids (bumface mum at school gates im looking at you)
Uni students at festivals who are all dreadlocks and fairy wings, bongo druming and political untill they finish then it's prada and the 9 to 5. Some of us choose to live an alternative lifestyle and it doesn't stop after uni.
Men who cheat on their wives then say " but I'm only human" wanker Bil I'm looking at u.

Gumtree sellers who are "getting rid" of their small pets (I keep guinea-pigs) because the "kids lost interest/we're getting a puppy/ I don't have time"

People who take small babies inti the nail salon - I'm practically gagging and I sit by the door (my DD has her nails done not me).
"He's tired/hungry/teething" He's fucking choking

People who put the most precious thing in their lives ie their child in the front seat when they're little. When they have three seats in the back and statistics show its safer to sit at the back.
There used to be an age limit of 12. Why did this change?

Patients who try to con me . They make their own appointments by phone . They get a reminder text or call ^2 days before". Then, they don't turn up. I have to give them 10-15 minutes leeway. Then I phone them. And I have to send out a letter . And phone our booking office to let them know. This, as you can imagine takes time.
So the call is "Hello Mrs Smith, this is "70" from the XYZ Clinic. You had an appointment with us at 2pm"

"Oh, no its for tomorrow"

"It; was today at 2pm, I have all the details on my screen"

"No, its definately tomorrow, she told me and I wrote it down. Definately tomorrow"

"Have you got your card , can you just check thanks"...........

"Oh, I have it here. Monday 5th @2pm. ...............Oh that's today"

"Yes"

"Well can I come up now"

"No, I'm afraid you've missed it and I have another patient in 5 minutes"

"Can you rebook me. I need to be seen, I can come up tomorrow "

"I'm not allowed to, I will send you a letter and when you recieve it, phone the office"

Then it comes ................ Oh well actually I'm not very well ...cough

And, I'm thinking : well enough to argue with me .

If I'm feeling generous I say "Well its saved you a wasted journey tomorrow" rather than saying "No you've wasted a precious appointment , it'll be 6 weeks before you get seen"

Anyone who so much as entertains the idea of homeopathy.

MrsFring d'you believe in Accupuncture? Hypnosis?Reflexology?

All are viewed with sceptisism but like homeopathy have their place.
You cannot prove it doesn't work.
You cannot prove it does work unless you've tried it, but cannot say it doesn't.

I use homeopathic arnica. It works.
It works too on animals who cannot be bamboozled into believing.

Anyone who wears black and navy together. Just why?

Because I really like them together. The Japanese also don't seem to have a problem with it. Not hugely caring what your mammy would think, tbh.
I wear it very often.

Parasite, this is a lighthearted thread there's no need to be bloody horrible, particularly mentioning the reference to my late mother. I was reminiscing about how she drummed no black and navy into us and smiling at the memory.
I celebrate the fact that you really like them together, we're all different etc, but I also think that it looks shit.

Sorry, Plinky, got your name wrong.

People who have to know everything that is going on with everyone. Yes I mean you, loudmouthed leader of DD's class' mums' clique. (How did I do on my apostrophe placement there?)

I wear black and navy together all the time (well, the navy is denim usually, or the black is denim). Judge me all you like Wildbhoy , I'm judging people with glittery toilet seats so who am I to judge on what you are judging on

I really shoulda called this thread 'signs that people are not your people' , but I doubt I'd have got 400 replies!

The dark denim and black combo is quite different, think you're okay there, OP, so no judging .
This thread has been fab. Thanks. Hope your neighbours don't ignore you again ( how rude!) and you get to see that toilet seat in the flesh!

i will be getting new neighbours some time this year.
I will Obviously be looking at their furniture ( though they might now force my present NDN to buy a glittery looseat on their behalf and fit it , just to avoid this )

I will also judge if their removals van blocks my car in and if they put their bins out the night before

Being addressed as a group as "Guys"

I am 51. I am quite obviously female.
I am not a "Guy"

I'll settle for friendly conversation over the fence.

From next ackshully so it was a posh one
I judge: those fucking Snapchat dog filter pictures. Why oh why do people post them so often - you all look exactly the same and they aren't funny. Please stop.
What happened to just taking a picture of your lovely faces?

Also little video clips of people driving and filming on their phone, often of their incorrectly restrained small child next to them, or showing the radio or steering wheel

Oh and my mega judge - the school run mum who parks on the zig zags every single morning. We have some very disabled parents, parents with many children, parents of children with additional needs who all manage to not do it so you sweet pea, are a massive twat.

Hi - I haven't read the whole thread but my biggest Judgeypants moments usually involve people who don't clear up after themselves when it's made ridiculously easy to do so. For example in a fast food restaurant (or our canteen at work) a tray, bin etc is provided so to clear you mess probably takes less than 20 seconds, yet people leave their crap all over the table. This is just laziness and unfair for the next person who wants to sit at the table. I have pulled up someone I know for doing this in McDonalds and their answer was "the staff should do this, if I do it then they won't have a job". I was 😡

I miss my glittery toilet seat

I judge people on Facebook who are in a cycle of calling their partner names, moaning about arguments or behaviour and changing relationship status to and from "It's complicated", but as soon as Valentine's Day comes around are posting gushing declarations of love. Extra judgy points if those declarations are accompanied by photos of expensive gifts.

Wow! I have/do so many of the things on this thread, I wonder if people around me are actually judging me so!

Have a tattoo, in a foreign language (but one I am fluent in), a double-barrelled name, ear piercings since I was born, and frequently mispronounce words.

I did read once somewhere that mispronouncing words is a sign that someone learnt them by reading, which is very true for me. It was years and years before I ever actually heard someone say eunuch and learnt how it was pronounced but I'd come across the word in a translation of 1001 Arabian Nights as a middle-schooler.

Parasite, this is a lighthearted thread there's no need to be bloody horrible, particularly mentioning the reference to my late mother.

And there you go, calling me bloody horrible and telling me I look shit.

Right then.

MrsFring Yes!

Can I ask if anyone would judge a couple whose gate needed oiling but refused to oil it because they like knowing when their children get home at night (and in doing so annoy the whole road)?

I didn't say that you look shit, I said that I think it looks shit. The generic 'it' is the clue. I have an opinion, what MN is all about, you have one too and more power to you for having one different to mine, like I said I celebrate difference. The rub came when you twisted an innocent, light hearted reference to my lovely mum into a slight against you. , not nice.

Is your example rather heart felt NoLove? A bit (too) close to home?

Very much so Lass but I'm the one who's embarrassed when I get home because the bloody gate is so loud!
