I've got new neighbours. I really doubt they are my kind of people. They've got a glittery toilet seat.

I'm pretty sure that's the exact face I pull.

People that write 'making memories' on their boring Facebook family photos or put up signs in their houses saying 'excuse the mess, my kids are making memories' No they're not. They are unruly disrespectful fuckers and you're lazy.

skulks off grumbling and judging irrationally under breath

MrsHathaway · 30/07/2017 21:31

Hashtags do work on Facebook and have for some time (possibly years). So I judge you Wink

People who go on "Roadtrips" 😡

gentlydoesit89 · 30/07/2017 23:14

Queue jumpers. I commute a lot so stand in a lot of bus queues and I get so wound up when people slip on the bus ahead of you in the queue as they sidle up from the opposite direction, or in some instances (and it's always pensioners) practically fucking cartwheel past you to get on first. It's irrational as the bus is never full, there's no risk of not being seated, but I was there first!!!
It's almost stamping my feet worthy Grin

MissSingerbrains · 30/07/2017 23:23

What's wrong with road trips? Confused Ok, people who drive 10 miles to visit a Primark in another town are obviously unreasonable to call it a road trip, but surely a drive across a continent can be referred to as one?

PeanutButterLips · 31/07/2017 00:55

Parents who give there young young children 'cola in a milk bottle' it sets my teeth on edge.

Parents who swear in front of their children as it's their everyday normal talk.

When people judge YOU on paying a certain amount for food or other things.
E.g I would go to McDonald's and pay £4 for a chicken nugget meal, then person with you says 'you could have bought 3000+ farm food nuggets for the same price'
So what I wanted the McDonald's I don't want to buy nuggets from a shop and cook them myself!!

I also judge people who don't work but buy luxury items for themselves, or can spend lavish amount of money at Christmas and birthdays, it annoys me because I pay tax so that person is spending my money on things I can't afford to buy my child.

Trustmeimadoggroomer17 · 31/07/2017 01:14

People that dress there two year olds in clothes for 16 year old ie.. Leather jackets, crop tops with the slogan "fierce", leather leggings and black heeled boots. Complete with pierced earings and a sassy walk.

I judge the parents so much I feel for the child

StrangeLookingParasite · 31/07/2017 02:19

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.

Well aren't you delightful.

I am in fact an orphan, though that is basically irrelevant.

You sound unpleasant and goady.

StayCloseToMe · 31/07/2017 02:57

Adults who post selfies on social media, with a ducky pout or whatever, or a pic of their outfit that they've taken in a mirror, all for the likes and "omg look how skinny you look!" comments.

Grown adults! It is so shamelessly vain it gives me rage. How are they not embarrassed?!

cambodianfoxhound · 31/07/2017 07:08

I have noticed recently a sudden outrage at babies having pierced ears. I can remember babies or young children with pierced ears in the early eighties and no-one really batted an eyelid. I had to wait until I was 12, but remember being quite jealous of friends who got them done as babies. Why the sudden strong views on this?

cambodianfoxhound · 31/07/2017 07:34

"Its ironic that so many posts complaining about the wilful ignorance of others are so wilfully ignorant themselves." - I agree with this. I often think we judge most in others what we subconciously fear and dislike about ourselves.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 31/07/2017 07:53

Yes Mrs and It often it's friends who DONT have twitter

Back atcha Grin

cambodianfoxhound · 31/07/2017 08:49

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

People who have frozen, poisoned faces"

The irony in this. When i imagine someone judging someone based on their size or weight, I can only imagine them having a frozen, poisonous face..

liverbird10 · 31/07/2017 08:54

People who judge me for having no interest in cooking/baking/spending half my time in the kitchen give me THE RAGE.

People who pronounce aitch as haitch will be up against the wall first in my dictatorship. :D

justilou1 · 31/07/2017 09:05

#blessed!
Those people can fuck right off. Nauseating!!!

Also grown men in their 30's and 40's on skateboards. HmmHmmHmm (or razor scooters - especially if they're in a suit. For some reason I just want to push them off.)

The guy I saw today who parked in a disabled space who had enough strength and energy to lift a bloody Segway out of his car and up the stairs to the shopping centre.

People who "prop" in disabled parks while they wait for someone in the shops. They are so selfish!!!

IDoDaChaCha · 31/07/2017 09:16

justilou1 misuse of disabled car parking is disgusting, really low. I also judge people who park in parent and child when they haven't got the child with them- selfish twats.

justilou1 · 31/07/2017 09:39

@IDoDaChaCha - having had newborn twins and an 18month old, a pram the size of a Hummer and absolutely no family help or time out, I am very judgypants about people who misuse parent parking too!!!

IDoDaChaCha · 31/07/2017 09:43

justilou1 also the parents who park in parent and child with their teenager. I mean, come on it doesn't take a genius to work out why those bays are extra wide and a leggy stroppy teenager doesn't require one Grin

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 31/07/2017 09:55

I used a parent and child space this weekend as there was no space whatsoever in Lidl and I got the rage

I shat myself that someone would come and verbally accost me and worked out how I could pretend I had kids but they had gone for a walk to another shop and I was picking them up later.....

Shoot me now !!! Blush

But disabled never ever ever
