Anyone with fake grass.
People who buy pre cut firewood

TheSecretMrsFairbrother · 15/07/2017 15:08

People who put eyelashes on their cars. Why?

I keep threatening to do it to our car. DH says that he'll divorce me if I do. Seems fair.

ellenanora5 · 15/07/2017 15:08

People who use the word "cheeky" when referring to food, wine, champagne etc

"Oh we had a cheeky glass of fizz with out naughty nandos"

Grow the feck up

MikeUniformMike · 15/07/2017 15:10

Dragons, your mum loves going to the loo?

Names bring out the judgy pants don't they.

EvilGreedyWife · 15/07/2017 15:14

Facebook or even better, Linkedin occupation as 'Cook, cleaner, doctor, book keeper, taxi driver etc etc - I'm a mother!!'

um no, giving your kid Calpol is not quite the same as being a doctor.

Sleepthief84 · 15/07/2017 15:17

Y to babies with pierced ears. Yuck! Makes me pull up my judgy pants so hard I get a wedgie.

The 'Prosecco' and 'Gin' themed tat that's everywhere at the moment, aimed mostly at mums who clearly cannot possibly get through their day without them.

People who hashtag everything, and don't know how to use them. I have a FB friend who hashtags like this:
#proudest#mummy#in#the#world#little#johnny#is#mummys#bestest#prince

Mike she enjoys taking a shit I guess!

peachgreen · 15/07/2017 15:19

It doesn't make me judge the parent because I don't think it reflects on someone's parenting, but I definitely have an irrational hatred for babies with hair bands / tiny ridiculous top knots / stuck-on bows etc despite having barely any hair. It looks so daft! Saw one the other day that had all three and I was practically twitching!

afternoonnapper · 15/07/2017 15:21

I totally judge the people on their jewellery. I love classy elegant jewellery and hate yellow gold. I know I shouldn't but I do

peachgreen · 15/07/2017 15:21

I would 100% love a glittery loo seat though. Genuinely might get one for our downstairs loo now. Grin

Spelling mistakes in a Wedding Order of Service.....

I have waited a full YEAR for my ever so tasteful wooden seat to break so I can finally replace it with a glittery one.
Its silver.
It makes me smile every time I go to the loo.
Ner.

TheFirstMrsDV · 15/07/2017 15:27

elle that reminds me.
Women (its always women) who say 'ooooh shall I be naughty?' when you offer them a biscuit.

Its a fucking biscuit not a line of coke.

I feel justified in judging as women do it regardless of wealth, class and educational achievement.

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 15:27

Sweetie pink or blue leather/ pleather prams- complete with awful,shiny, lacey matching covers, often with embroidery. Also, those knitted hats where the pompom is bigger than the baby's head. Just grim and my judgey pants come out to play.
Babies in football regalia: Babygros, shoes etc is pure tack. Especially in my area where football affiliation is connected to religion. Some even go so far as to have a bright green/ blue pram etc. So sad.

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 15/07/2017 15:29

We used to have a glittery loo seat, bloody loved it too! Grin If it helps, it was in a white and wood bathroom with a cork floor, so deffo the star of the show.

I also hate headbands on babies. And topknots on women that make them look like pawns in a chess set.

Grown adults with a fairy/twinkly/unicorn obsession.

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 15:30

Yy peachgreen and elle/ firstmrs. Grrr....

Mothervulva · 15/07/2017 15:32

Kurst what's wrong with Pre cut firewood?

Men not wearing tops and being all sweaty all over the place.

TheFirstMrsDV · 15/07/2017 15:32

Plinky the rest of my bathroom is vair tasteful. All mat metro tiles and understated Edwardian shower fittings. I can't help myself, I need something shiny in my life.
I used to have a static caravan and I had pink glittery loo seats in that Grin

LesisMiserable · 15/07/2017 15:33

Botoxed upper lips

People who call themselves "full time mummy"

"besties"

Curtains that dont cover the windows

Giant butterflies on similiar on the outside of houses

Old people who tend to have throw cushions on the back shelf of their car (why???!) who drive at 58 mph in the middle lane of the motorway for the entire duration of their journey.

TheFirstMrsDV · 15/07/2017 15:34

Oh God yes...adults who are really, really into Disney.

I don't mean a bit of wistful nostalgia or a trip to a theme park.
I mean full on Princess fetish and Minnie Mouse sweatshirts

onalongsabbatical · 15/07/2017 15:34

Glittery toilet seats! Now I need to go and lie in a darkened room... YANBU, OP.

babsjonhson · 15/07/2017 15:35

Crocs
People who eat lots of ready meals
People who watch reality tv
Middle aged people who are single and live at home
People with really crusty feet wearing sandals

PlinkyTheFairyWitch · 15/07/2017 15:36

DO IT Mrs DV, you will not regret it!

You can go to Hobbycraft and get some papier maché letters to spell out S H I T, decoupage them in a lovely ditzy print if you so desire, and place them behind said glittery bog, just to class it up Wink

MikeUniformMike · 15/07/2017 15:38

Dragons- tee hee! If I described my bathroom it would out me. I think quirky. I have a smallish blackboard (I know), and I write things on it. For some reason it currently says SPEECH!. Why???
