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?

When I see grown men with little fluffy lap type dogs, I can't help but thinking that he did not have a say in what dog they should have and that he probably didn't have any say in it what so ever

I'd rather do that than buy ridiculously overpriced clothes and have them just sitting in front of the TV night after night.

Yeah, me too. But that's a false dichotomy.

On the topic of Mrs Darcy I stand corrected!

"People who scrape money together for their children's private school fees but walk around looking like a sack of shit potatoes in crappy old clothes and never go anywhere on holiday because they can't afford it. They're like the modern day equivalent of Mrs Darcy, completely obsessed with their children's social mobility to the exclusion of their own quality of life."

Robotic but, presumably their private school education would mean that they would know it was actually Mrs Bennet who was obsessed with her daughters' social mobility...?

And, don't make the mistake of critically judging Mrs Bennet's obsessive efforts to get her DDs married off by 21st century standards.

You've just reminded me of my old neighbour, we used to walk our dogs together. He was a massive ex wrestler (big daddy/giant haystacks type size) with a teeny wee Yorkie dog and I was (at the time) a size 8 wee tiny thing with a malamute x we must have looked ridiculous!

People who bellow at each other across the road instead of just crossing over and having a conversation at a normal volume. People who inanely beep car horns to summon someone from their house- just give them a text or missed call??! Trail bikes and quad bikes with deafening engines. Grrrr.....

MikeUniformMike - something like this? :)

The perfect gift! Thanks IdoDaChaCha

You can't have it I'm afraid. It's hanging off my bathroom door

P.s. thanks for this thread OP it's made me laugh

I might make one.

Anyone who walks and texts and bumps in to people. Just look where you're going FFS.

I judge people who send their children to private school simply so they won't catch poor they can say they do. There are good reasons for choosing one school over another, but when you're rejecting excellent state schools in favour of failing private schools then I judge you hard.

You're right. I wish my parents had foregone all pleasures in life so I could have avoided humiliating myself on mumsnet.

Where can I buy a glittery toilet seat?

People with London accents and SE accents. Have just been working in London for a few days and I can't help but think they sound thick, espeically when they saw stuff like "we was..."

This is probably a chippy thing on my behalf thought as I don't feel the same about any other regional accent!

My judgy pants are the size of a hot air balloon.
Myself abuse - "Just give myself a call whenever yourself is ready"
Wedding invitations with doggerel verse asking for money instead of a present.
The Scouse Brow.
Glottal stops.
Being called "you guys" by waiting staff. What is wrong with "Ladies and gentlemen"?
"In terms of going forward" - good for several points in Bullshit Bingo though.

"Mrs Bennet who was obsessed with her daughters' social mobility...?"

I don't think she was. She had to get them married because they would inherit nothing and otherwise be a drain on the family. That Darcy was rich was the icing of the cake - Mr Collins would have done.

they would inherit nothing and otherwise be a drain on the family

They'd be potentially penniless (cf Sense & Sensibility) and starving on the street. She's also setting herself up somewhere to live once she's widowed.

"Instant coffee / just why?!?! "

Only way to make coffee using a kettle or a microwave or a saucepan as far as I know. You'd need a special machine for any other kind surely?

Family/boudoir/newborn photoshoots masquerading as actual portrait photography.

Another here who secretly desires a swirly, colourful, glittery toilet seat but who worries that I would suddenly be deemed a bit trashy. Things that bring on my Judgy moments include:

1/ Ear gage piercings. why?? I think they look revolting.

2/ Bought not brought or vice versa. Gives me the rage.

3/ big tattoos. (ok, I get it, I'm a snob)

4/ Men who don't trim their nasal hair

5/ Men who wear socks with sandals

I don't think she was Nor do I. I think Mrs Bennett was typical of the age for that type of family situation. It is a theme running through many of Jane Austen's works and reflective not only of Austen's own upbringing but those of many poor middle class families with daughters back then

Non instant coffee is easily made with a cafetiere (French press) or Aeropress.
