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?

Women/girls who have those big bloody drawn on eyebrows.
Women/girls who go to the supermarket with their curlers in.
Crocs
Anyone who says their child is a Angel.
Mums and dads who leave their children to go on a two week holiday to benidorm.

Emoji merchandise.

Double barrelled names where only the first name has a capital letter. It looks so messy and inconsistent I hate it.

Crap tattoos. And I love tattoos. I just can't help judging someone who's gone and got such poor work done when it's going to be on then forever. It's not hard to do some research and usually the price doesn't really differ much!

People who are so obsessed with the new Primark Beauty and the Beast Chip and Mrs Potts collection and when they manage to get them, post on Instagram captioned 'life complete 😭🙏💖'

Huns

Giant eyebrows

Pregnancy photoshoots where the pregnant ladies tummy is hanging out and everyone is kissing it (eg other children and husband).

Gender reveals

People on Facebook that write big posts on Mother's Day/birthdays etc about how much they love each other and how amazing each other is. Can you not just say this stuff to each other's face?

People who are unable to see (even when told) that not everyone has the cosy life they have.

My plastic grass is great for my child.

Bloody hell strange why do you care so much what people you don't know think about two colours you might wear together sometimes?

I judge people who don't look after their pets.
Do not get a dog unless you can exercisere it.
It isn't rocket science.
I also judge those who have immaculate clinical show type homes. Everything is bland and impersonal and so so clean. Maybe I'm just in awe of them.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 16/07/2017 08:47

People who drink prosecco but call it 'fizz' or worse, drink sparkling rose and call it 'pink fizz'.

People who pronounce 'choreetho' with an authentic Spanish accent, but oddly don't pronounce all foreign words (eg cars) with their relative accent. As if somehow a dry old paprika sausage from Aldi is the pinnacle of class and sophistication. Looking at you dsis you pretentious old nigella Lawson wannabe.

Lallypopstick · 16/07/2017 08:50

People who claim to have synaesthesia. I don't doubt it's a real thing, but I'm sure it's not that prevalent.

Countdowntofour · 16/07/2017 08:53

People who eat noisily and you can hear the saliva moving around their mouths.

When people complain their parents won't babysit this weekend, and how it's really unfair, but their parents have actually had their kids every other weekend since they were born. This winds me up as my parents have had my eldest once in her almost ten years of living, and the others never. I'm bitter 😁

Brown76 · 16/07/2017 08:54

The wearing of inappropriate clothing such as open-toed sandals/shorts/slip-on shoes or other summery wear in winter or big winter coats in 30 degree heat makes me stare in shock and think...why, how? So irrational as I suppose everyone experiences it differently, but it always brings out my snap judgement.

thenewaveragebear1983 · 16/07/2017 08:56

Oh, and people who write birthday messages to their babies and children on Facebook
'This little guy turns one today. Horace, mummy and daddy love you so much, you're the funniest guy we know and make us laugh every day'

Really? You love your child? No!

And first birthday parties for anyone except immediate family. Our children aren't friends, they just drool on the same wooden blocks a few times a month for an hour. Neither of them knows or cares that the other one is one. It's basically 'present day'- and is insanely grabby. Read Also for baby showers, 'naming days' etc. Christenings I will just about tolerate, provided that the parents and godparents are actually Christians and actually do intend to raise their children as Christians which is actually what a christening is all about and nothing to do with naming a baby. But I still think big christening parties where loads of people are invited are not for the child's benefit one bit and purely about getting presents.

Can you tell I've been to a few of these wretched expensive events?

GingerPCatt · 16/07/2017 08:59

People who get really judgey over other people's judgeyness.
Everyone judges. It's human nature. Just don't be horrible to people based on their clothes choices or loo seat.

MaudesMum · 16/07/2017 09:03

Fat people letting it all hang out in vests, leggings or shorts - I'm fat and I tend to hide the most visible manifestations of being so.
Leggings being worn as trousers by anyone over 10 - fine under skirts, big shirts or dresses
Very visible tattoos and piercings - limiting employment prospects somewhat
Anyone who uses a mobile phone when drivin

MrsGusset · 16/07/2017 09:05

People who are too tired to return their supermarket trolley to the bay – especially if it's blocking the only remaining parking space.

MAMILS

Holding a knife like a pen.

Performance parenting.

ConstanceCraving · 16/07/2017 09:07

What's MAMILS?!

Takenforanob · 16/07/2017 09:13
  • Caravans and big garden trampolines. Eyesores for neighbours.
  • Tattoos.
  • Nike style eyebrows.
  • Hun.
  • Craze over Prosecco, gin, unicorns and flamingos.
  • Trout pouts on FB.
  • Going to church for a few weeks in order to get your kid into local church school. Then never going again.
  • Daily Mail readers.
  • E-cigarettes in places where actual smoking is prohibited.
  • Flip flops in winter.

On other side of coin I own crocs and a Pandora bracelet and my car has a sign in the back for kids!!

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 16/07/2017 09:35

My plastic grass is great for my child. how? I'm genuinely interested.
But it's shite for the planet. And your little patch of it. You are depriving a tiny Eco system of life.

Decaffstilltastesweird · 16/07/2017 09:35

A friend of mine used to say that if she ever found out someone she knew liked Mrs Brown's Boys, she knew she couldn't be friends with them.

I feel a bit the same about Gavin and Stacy; not that I couldn't be friends with anyone who vaguely liked it, but the people who went on about it as if it was a work of genius and started saying "what's occurring" all the time. They made me put on my irrational judgey pants.

Anyone who says Coldplay are their favourite band too.

Brown76 · 16/07/2017 09:35

And another thing...people who stand downstairs on double decker buses when the bus is busy, there are seats upstairs and they are young/able bodied and could easily manage the stairs. It makes it much harder for people with pushchairs, luggage and disabilities to use the bus.

Ekphrasis · 16/07/2017 09:37
