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 don't know where I have been but I have literally never heard this thing that so many of you are referring to where people say myself meaning me or I?

You are so lucky. I've heard it called the Estate Agents' Reflexive.

"Please sign the paperwork and return it to myself at our head office."

Butthewasstillhungry, here are examples:
"Myself and DH are going to ..."
"It happened to myself when ..."

I can see why you hate it- it's really weird!

I also don't like
"Me and DH are going..."
"It happened to DH and I..."

"the Estate Agents' Reflexive."

Ha. I usually get it from solicitors.

I've worked with plenty of 'myself' people, they're usually not very articulate and are desperate to impress.

That's how I would judge them too.

Have to add: female friends who get competitive and try to one-up whatever youve told them. Thankfully I now only know one woman like this but every time I tell her some bit of good news in my life she seems to choke on congratulations before immediately trying to outdo my news or make a catty comment. So irritating. I'm a bit blokey - if you don't like me just tell me straight don't pretend you do then act like a biatch

A bit blokey? Are they all the same, then?

People who are obese. I judge them but some will jump that, I know

People who have frozen, poisoned faces

People who have big, flashy, jangling bags like Michael Kors' ones

People who hold a knife like a pencil

Women who don't paint their toenails. I don't understand it.

Oh and people who are purposely obtuse (nina2b) when they know exactly what you meant

"Women who don't paint their toenails. I don't understand it."

I have disgusting toenails. On the rare occasions when they come out (over 25 degrees), I want to draw as little attention to them as possible.
I only paint my (hand) nails with clear gloss as well, I don't really see how an unnatural colour would make them look better.

I don't know where I have been but I have literally never heard this thing that so many of you are referring to where people say myself meaning me or I?

Myself has a few legitimate uses. For example the songs All by myself or Me , myself and I or asking a child perhaps "did your mum help with that?" and getting the answer " no I did it myself" or in irritation, say " don't bother helping, I'll do it myself"

I'm sure there is a rule of grammar which explains it but basically "myself" should be restricted to usage where emphasis on the self of the speaker is needed as in these examples.

People who think LMAO is a witty and original commen. It isn't - although it is indicative of a lack of imagination and vocsbulary.

I judge:

Parents who pierce their babies ears. There is really just no need

Anyone over about 15 using those stupid snapchat filers on their photos. In particular, my sons 55yo granny.

Re the Facebook posts for deceased relatives, my mum died 24 years ago, and i really don't want want people to forget she ever existed. So on her anniversary I post a photo and maybe mention one or two of the few memories I have of her. I used post a photo for my dad too, but i I haven't the last few years as I was only doing it because I did it for my mum and felt I should, not because I missed him or had fond memories of my childhood with him.

Having said that, I find it a little odd when people post photos of their loved ones headstone after each visit, so perhaps I'm a hypocrite.

Women who don't paint their toenails - really? There's nothing wrong with my toenails but I do t often paint them. I think my Unpainted toenails are fairly unremarkable.

Because it takes less than a minute to paint your toenails and they look a million times better!

I don't own nail varnish.... haven't for atleast 15yrs.

People with overly expensive cars. Especially noisy ones, flashy souped up ones (a clio with a spoiler... Really???!!) and 4x4s when you're not a farmer. Wtf is the point?!

It's as cheap as chips...you can buy a cheapo nail varnish for about a pound.

For the sake of a quid and less than a minute of your life, your toenails could look a million times better.

Why wouldn't you just do it?!

former I live in the middle of knowhere and very rarely go in to a shop thay sells nail varnish. Even if I did it'd be the last thing on my mind to buy in there as i'd have gone in for a particular reason.

Plus then there's the appliying, leaving on and it just chipping off, realising you don't have remover so just letting it chip or grow off, which surely looks worse than leaving them alone in the first place?

Have you seen my toenails? Seriously? They're vertical, about 3mm long and a complete nightmare to paint with anything other than an eyeliner brush. Less than a minute, my arse. It's far cheaper and easier to keep the buggers covered up.
