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?

The Disney thing!!!!!!! I have an otherwise lovely colleague, bright, trendy, pretty cool etc who has a ridiculous love of everything Disney. He mentioned he was going to Paris for a few days, I assumed for a romantic break but, no, he and his girlfriend went to Disneyland Paris! Beyond comprehension.

You'd hate me - I have three silvery glittery loo seats. First one because I loved it, it was in the en suite so no other bugger saw it ... second and third ones because by Christ it was the ONLY one Homebase had to offer that didn't break within two months, so after several replacements in the other two loos I gave in and got them all the same.

People with eyelashes over their car headlights.

Annoys me more than it should but there you go!

I predict this thread will implode in 5, 4, 3,2.....
Many, many things give me a crippling wedgy. I'm trying hard to overcome it before I completely morph into my mother
but I'll go with this-buying a baby card for a new arrival, trying to find one that doesn't mention "little prince" "little man". Then I noticed baby shower cards and gender reveal cards. Fuck's sake! Why?

ingeniusnonsense · 15/07/2017 15:47

I do like a glitter shitter!Grin

I judge people who have no political opinion.

Boredboredboredboredbored · 15/07/2017 15:47

I was talking to a heavily pregnant woman the other day whilst she was chuffing away on a fag. It was her 8th baby. I really did judge I'm afraid, not for the number of babies but the smoking.

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 15:47

And my absolute favourite : Anyone who wears black and navy together. Just why? It was drilled into me and my 4 siblings from birth so perhaps it was inevitable I'd be judgey. Thing is, I know a few colleagues who own eg navy trousers and tops and black trousers and tops but sometimes mix them! Why would you do this??? My teeth go all that sensitive way, like when you scrape a knife across a plate and I can't look at the person, I need to turn away. Irrational but true.

Please could you overcome your aversion to glittery toilet seats for just long enough to find out where they got it from? Asking for a friend...

Toniandgit · 15/07/2017 15:49

I have a glittery toilet seat to go with my glittery bathroom walls Smile

SocksRock · 15/07/2017 15:51

I have met curtains at the front of my house because it's opposite a really busy bus stop and it's nets, or permanent darkness, or having everything watch me folding laundry while waiting for the bus

Toniandgit · 15/07/2017 15:51

Hyphenated first names

CremeFresh · 15/07/2017 15:51

I have glittery stuff all over my house , even the wallpaper in my lounge is glittery ! I can't believe I've missed out on a glitter loo seat .

Brittbugs80 · 15/07/2017 15:52

Oh, and people who refer to their daughters (particularly under 8's) as little Diva's.

And the attention seeking Fbook posts.

"I'm so fucking annoyed, absolutely raging, how dare he do that"

"Oh no, what's happened hun?"

Then there is either no reply or "I'll inbox you hun"

Tattoo's, yep, I know sorry. I just can't update my own judgy pants. I know tattoos are current, I know everyone has them ...but when I was younger we just didn't; well except for my more unsavoury friends who might have tattooed their own knuckles using ink and a pin, with the letters H.E.L.L.O or even F.U.C.K
I am still shocked, when on my young teaching staff, all professional, educated and committed, I catch a glimpse of a tattoo. Still, through my mind flits the thought 'how are you a primary school teacher'.

Yep about me not them, yep outdated and judgy (but really trying not to be).

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 15:56

love a bit of bling, not a problem here on the loo front, although i havent got one.
however, pierced baby ears gives me the rage! i just feel sorry for the child.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 15:58

Obese children- although know on MN this won't go down well.

In laws have a glittery toilet seat, think is ironic but not sure!

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 15:58

Oh and tweens in sexy type clothes with stuff like babe on

ShowMeWhatYouGot · 15/07/2017 15:58

Hate the " so upset, how can people do this!?" "So angry!" Attention seeking posts also!

Stupid kids names like La'Cie or Precious!

People who say they cannot afford a lot, but manage to get their nails and hair done every other week.

Car eyelashes.

People who park in the parent baby bays who don't have kids.

People who always ask where your things are from & then go out and buy the exact thing a lot.

People who treat their animals like actual babies.

I'm feeling very sassy today obviously! No chocolate and pmt!!!!!

Whatawaytomakealiving · 15/07/2017 15:59

wildbhoys me too! ....and black/brown....and cream/white.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:00

and parents who teach swear words to their children who teach them to mine.

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 16:00

Oh those cryptic attention seeking FB posts piss me right off! I have been known to write a snarky comment underneath, since it's so ridiculous! Either fucking day why you're pissed off or feck off whinging!

Those live, laugh, love things wind me up too.

Notreallyarsed · 15/07/2017 16:00

Laughed like a drain at glitter shitter though Grin

CremeEggThief · 15/07/2017 16:01

I judge people for using poor spelling, punctuation and grammar in writing. I also judge people for writing capital I and J without bars, which I know is wrong of me.

I really judge people who dry their hands on tea towels, or even worse, oven gloves. And people who don't wash their oven gloves at least every couple of weeks.

People who have untidy cutlery drawers, or don't care what colour their toilet roll is (only white is acceptable), are also on my list. Not having toilet roll at all is the worst thing I will judget one for.

ZaphodBeeblerox · 15/07/2017 16:02

Just as a random aside, in my religion we pierce baby's ears (both boys and girls), usually around their first birthday. A belief that said imperfection makes the baby unattractive to the devil who wants perfect babies :)

Also all girls wear earrings so makes sense to do it when they are young and won't know the pain I suppose? Anyway! Just an aside, carry on then!
