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?

I want to play....

I judge people with joint Facebook accounts and profiles that have "property of... " written in their bio. The only thing that it tells me is that your balls are in your girlfriends bag.

Like everyone else said, parents who get their babies ears pierced. I come from a culture where baby girls have their ears pierced on their first birthday and mum is already talking about getting my daughter her first pair of earrings made. I told her that's very generous but she won't be wearing them for quiet awhile. Just as I refused to get my sons circumcised. I don't believe in cutting off bits of them or piercing their flesh for an outdated tradition.

Parents who don't discipline their kids. No excuses for bad manners.

People who are involved with the Orange Order.

People who smoke near me.

Women who describe themselves on social media in relation to their status as mothers. E.g. #chefmum #fulltimemum #fitnessmum #mumswhonetwork FFS!

Smug married people do my head in, also those couples who are practically joined at the hip and say things like "DH and I come as a unit"

People who act like getting married is an achievement or something to be "proud" of rather than just something anyone can do.

People who say things like "if it's meant to be it'll be" or "it'll all work out in the end" whenever someone says things like that to me I just think they are really stupid and coast through life with someone else having to do everything for them. I can only assume that's the only way they could get to adulthood without realising that you actually have to work for things to get the desired result!

I'll probably get a bit of shit for this but... women who say things like "it's a man thing" or women who say they won't do DIY because "it's a mans job" a penis does little to help when you're grouting Janet! Just learn how to do it yourself!

People who judge other parents decisions just to make themselves feel good. There's more to bringing up a well grounded, non self entitled individual than glaring at a baby with pierced ears when the child would not care.
I had pierced ears as a new born I love my mum to bits as she made sure we got our priorities right not worrying about getting my views on ear piercing when I was older.

@WarwickDavisAsPlates "a penis does little to help when you're grouting Janet! Just learn how to do it yourself!"

Thank you for making me laugh tonight I needed it! Brilliant

My most irrational one: women who change their name to their husbands surname when they get married.

I'd never say anything to their faces but internally I judge.

Yes, but some do care, which is why I believe that it should be a child's choice. My mum had my ears pierced as a baby too and I love her to pieces, she is an amazing mum, but I haven't worn earrings since I was old enough to form an opinion on them. I do not like piercings or earrings and that should have been my choice. I am covered in ink and I am sure plenty of people judge me on that, but, and this is the important part I don't care because that was my choice and I don't regret it, whereas I would never have chosen to get my ears pierced. So yes I do judge and no it's not to make myself feel better.

That's funny Warwick because I secretly judge those who don't

Love this thread, I just be permanent judgy pants wearer, everything PPs have said I judge and find annoying!!

Also people who say 'my boy' when talking about their grown up partner.

Biggest one is adults who wear animal or Disney clothes and bags. Like a big mickey mouse back pack or jumper - shudder.

Defence of fake grass coming up...we have fake grass because our garden is north facing, on clay and was a complete bog for nine months of the year, and regularly flooded. Also DS2 has a disability and we had the grass done to try and get him walking on a dry, flat surface that he could access throughout the year.

But we did get naice stuff, not the greengrocer's box innards If we hadn't had such shitty conditions we wouldn't have done it, but it has done its job - DS2 can now walk!

I am judgy about so many things I feel ashamed

Many are happy their parents got it done. I hate pain,couldn't have put myself through getting ears pierced. I'm glad my parents did it when I couldn't remember.
If I didn't like it, I could have just let it close up. In the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal until everyone with first world only problems who have nothing else to whinge about complain.

Well now that's a grouting image that I can't get out of my head (not in a good way) Warwick !

This. 👏🏼

It's funny how people like to judge others but don't like to be judged themselves.

According to this thread there is plenty I am judged for, non of which bother me. People are taking things way to personally.

There's judging and then there's angrily spewing hate over another parents decisions for their child.
We may not like what other people do but sad to judge other people over something and make them feel so bad for something that has no consequence to many children.
The vehemence thrown by those who think it's wrong is so disproportionate it makes it seem like you are angry others have the guts to do what you cannot do.

some days it feels like an ongoing battle to not be a judgy bitch, other days I'm a complete dream

constance me too. I don't really care why some women don't take their DH's name. But I do care that these women always see fit to bend my ear and drone on about exactly why they haven't taken his name.

Shut up. Go away. No one cares.

Lots of people on FB post a picture and write the caption 'This one ❤️ ' or 'these two ❤️ ' I find this strangely annoying. Not sure why. Where does it come from, as it seems more and more common?

mandatemandy not sure your judgement of Orange Order nutjobs is irrational - I mean, seriously, bigoted boneheads still wanting to keep a 17th century battle alight! Judgement of them is totally rational.

Maqueen it seems we have had the same experiences but the opposite way round.

I've found those who change their name to be the ones who go on about it "only 276 days 28 mins until I'm Mrs Whatever" repeat every fucking week/ day until the inevitable "so happy to finally be Mrs Whatever ❤️💍👰🏼🥂🍾" FB status.

Also, I know this is me projecting but still, it just always feels sad to me that they are so ready to wrap themselves up in someone else's identity like they are now just "wife of MR Whatever" instead of Jane Doe, her own person.

Judgy pants on for -
Pierced baby's ears - why?
Hair bands on bald babies (the boiled eggs look)
Track suits on people who clearly have never been near the track
Smokers congregating round entrances to buildings (especially hospitals)
Guys without tops on walking along the road - ugh, put it away
Men in sandles and socks
Ears with gigantic holes in the lobe
People who eat with their mouths open (puke)
People texting and not looking where they are going
People who like Jeremy Kyle
........and people who judge 😂😂😂

Major judginess points;
Private number plates....
The pretentiousness that is creating a double barrelled surname for yourself when you get married...
IKEA furniture
Bellowing at your offspring in public places

Taking on your husbands name doesn't mean you lose your identity. It's just a name. And as for "only 276 days 28 mins until I'm Mrs Whatever" repeat every fucking week/ day until the inevitable "so happy to finally be Mrs Whatever ❤️💍👰🏼🥂🍾" FB status." we must have very different friends because I've never seen that on my FB

I agree with most of this thread!
My absolute pet hates- overly sentimental Facebook statuses (if you love him walk to the kitchen and tell him).
Besties (when you're older than 14)
People who say 'myself' when it's unnecessary 'well for myself' for eg
Hate to admit this one, but tattoos (I know I need to overcome this one)
Girls dressed in pink frilly unpractical dresses in a playground/sports field rendering them unable to join in properly (quite specific that one)

This is more Room 101 than Judgy McJudgerson material but... people who drive at the same speed no matter the speed limit - e.g. 60km in an 80km zone and still doing 60 when they hit the 50 zone.
