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?

"paint your toenails and they look a million times better!"

That's subjective isn't it? My feet are horrible so on the whole I will look much worse if attention is drawn to my feet.
Also, I don't find red/green/blue toenails more attractive than natural ones.

That dreams sign posted by @custardy reminds me of my favourite tattoo. And although I don't judge people with tattoos (some bodyart is beautiful), I do judge tattooists who don't check their spelling and grammar before inking.

Tattoo artists always show the client the sketch before they start, though, don't they? So you'd have a chance to say "er, is it really spelt NO REGERTS?" or "it's there not their".

But yes, I can't be doing with badly spelt tattoos or signs.

Spotted a lovely one outside a small hardware shop this week, advertising: BBQ'S' (yes, two apostrophes, and triply wrong).

Surely, though, if I went to my local tattoo parlour and asked for "I'm awsome" to be inked on my back, THEY would say it's awesome ffs?

nina2b · 26/07/2017 10:20

Tattoos - I judge everyone with a tattoo because it is skin graffiti.

Decaffstilltastesweird · 26/07/2017 10:22

I prefer the term 'skin street art' if you don't mind Wink.

I love some tattoos and some street art. Some street art is mindless vandalism, some is art. Same goes for tattoos (to me).

PumpkinSpiceEverything · 26/07/2017 10:37

People with all white furniture.

I just cannot relate.

nina2b · 26/07/2017 10:41

People with sticks in oil.

Novinosincebambino · 26/07/2017 10:45

I have a mate who hates unpainted toenails. If we were clubbing and I hadn't painted mine I would hide them from her! She was that vocal about it and I couldn't be bothered with the debate.

Sunburned kids makes me so judgemental. There's no bloody excuse. You're supposed to protect them when they can't protect themselves.

Also people who post 20 billion pictures of their kids on social media. They must have been photographing them every second rather than actually enjoying time with them. See also people who post every waking second on social media.

One would hope so. But if a client comes in and says I WANT THIS and you say UM EXACTLY THIS? NOT and they say NO DEFINITELY THIS then what do you do?

CruCru · 26/07/2017 10:56

I know of tattoo artists who've refused to do a particular tattoo - either because it isn't their sort of thing or because they won't do a particular part of the body (say, the neck).

MrsHathaway · 26/07/2017 10:58

Yes, indeed. But they're choosing between doing tattoo they don't want to be associated with or turning client away, not between a shit tattoo and a good one. You can't tattoo something on to a client that they don't want, because that's surely assault at least.

Emmageddon · 26/07/2017 13:21

If I was a tattoo artist, and I'm not, and someone asked for something spelt wrong, to be permanently inked onto their body, I would refuse.

MrsHathaway · 26/07/2017 16:20

Eurgh, so would I! But I'm good at spelling. If you asked me to tattoo something in say Portuguese I'd have no idea how accurate it was. If the tattooist isn't a brilliant speller (and why should they be?) then would they notice?

MrsHathaway · 26/07/2017 16:21

Add a colon to that tatt and it's both accurate and philosophical Wink

Gingerandgivingzerofucks · 26/07/2017 19:11

People with strong religious views/lifestyles and who induct children into the religion. Also, religious door knockers. Fuck off.

Wall decals. Omfg.

Those who churn out 'cutesy' poodle cross puppies for money, fucking judge I will! Wankers. Same to those who have 'whoops' litters or endless foals. Just because your animal has a womb doesn't mean it has to be used. No animal needs to have offspring.

Of instead of have. I know this has been discussed, but I judge nonetheless. Also, 'discusting'. Autocorrect, anyone?

Owners who allow their untrained mutt to run up and bowl over my very ancient dog. I don't care if it's friendly, you're a shit owner.

People falling over drunk every weekend in town. Get a fucking grip!

Chavs who always have their sweatshirt hood up. You look dodgy as fuck and I will judge.

The use of 'lil' on social media. 'Love my lil man' style posts. Ugh.

Parents who post huge birthday wishes to their very small children on social media. It's clearly being done for attention, it has nothing to do with the child mentioned.

Trout pouts and terrifying HD eyebrows. Horrifying.

Thank you, OP, I needed a vent.

Scandie · 26/07/2017 20:18

People who say and write 'hun' all the fucking time. Hate 'hun'

What a total waste of a pound!

I've never painted my toenails and I never will, I'd rather buy a magazine with a spare pound than waste it on nail varnish

formerbabe · 26/07/2017 20:49

zukiecat

It's the best pound you can ever spend. The bottle will last a while and did I mention your toes will look a million times better?

Arealhumanbeing · 26/07/2017 21:02

People who 'go on the sunbed'. Hellooooo skin cancer?!

People who have a baby when they're not sure that they want to. Then are genuinely confused when they hate their new lives.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 26/07/2017 21:04

I am with you fformerbabe

I had a friend and she had really yellow horny nails and it irrationally annoyed me

At least file them and apply some base no

mermaidsandunicorns · 29/07/2017 22:14

Chester drawers
People that use milk tokens and then moan about how much their baccy is going to cost
Bad personal hygiene
People that pierce their babies ears
Rude people
Stupid people
People who do big food shops with their kids but it consists of £100 of junk food

wildbhoysmama and parasite

parasite you are being really horrible. Wild didn't say you looked shit, she expressed a thought about what gives her the judgy pants. She has lost her mum. I assume you still have yours else you would know the pain of that, and how remembering what gave her mum the pants made her smile. From what you have written you sound mean.

IDoDaChaCha · 30/07/2017 11:48

Men who use the phrase "the last big push" to describe finishing a task. Makes me think of labour and what the fuck do they know about doing that...
