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

Tattoos - a way to feel creative and special for people with no imagination.

People who rev sports cars loudly on residential streets. Twats.

Northerners who lose their accents after university. Traitors.

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:03

I hate tattoos and am gutted that dh and ds1 both have one, but at least they can be hidden up and not that big.
i just associate them with the navy and old wrinkly men who had them done in the 1950s, totally irrational of course and each to their own. ( why do they do it to themselves?)
i agree that people who moan about a lack of cash, but have beauty treatments every week are a mystery.save the cash or do it all yourself!

Tattoos are great for people with poor memories who would otherwise forget their children or partner's name. Don't judge.

People who walk down the street, or sit on the train, holding their smartfone at arm's length and shouting into it.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 16:07

or, worse still, their name on Facebook being sarah fulltimeyummymummy smith.

Do people really do this??? Hmm

I love tasteful yellow gold jewellery as it suits me better and platinum goes dull very quickly.

Definitely judge newborn ear piercing!! I follow a Spanish lady on Instagram and nearly commented when she posted a pic of her not three week old DD with big gold studs! But then I thought what's the point of saying anything to someone for who it is so normalised

I judge people who have a tv in the kitchen, or have the tv on all the time (this is inherited judginess from my parents who banned tv when I was 10)

Onhold · 15/07/2017 16:07

Narrow minded people.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:08

Tattoos on people who have grown old and outgrown them. Saw one person who really had out-aged her "Angel' on the back the other day.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:09

People who are smug, worthy types but self congratulate themselves about it and judge others.

astrantiamajor · 15/07/2017 16:09

Big wooden letters that people hang on their wall or stand on a shelf. Even worse if they are lit. Worse still if they are lit by huge light bulbs.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:10

Dads with trousers which let their bum cracks show

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 16:10

Oh and chubby kids over 3yrs old in buggies. And no I'm not talking about those with special needs.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:10

Huge family 'portraits' done by a photographer in peoples houses (usually on the landing or stairs)

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:10

The stars ones make me feel queasy - names are just silly too.
Not sure why the tattoo craze started and has hung around really - plus dh said it hurt a lot too and his is on his upper arm where there is a bit of fat. the huge tattoos must draw lots of blood as well! I cannot get to grips with it at all - yet, its a very popular money spinner. i bet some people have it done, yet wont go to the dentist, which is way more important.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:11

Round Robin letters about the family's news or Christmas postcards made from photos of 'the Grant Family' for example. Cringe.

Onhold · 15/07/2017 16:11

People who use these kind of threads to be as unpleasant as the can be. I judge them.

dementedma · 15/07/2017 16:11

women who use the term mumpreneur or full time mummy
babies in headbands
people with those stupid thick black eyebrows

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:13

Lighten up, Onhold. I'm sure people judge me too, I don't care. tbh.

Kursk · 15/07/2017 16:16

Men in skinny jeans or with a bun

Flyinggeese · 15/07/2017 16:17

Tattoos with Latin phrases or with Chinese or other character lettering when the person with the tattoo does not speak or understand those languages.

Oh and those with spelling mistakes. Saw on someone's back last summer 'the skies the limit'. Not kidding.

wildbhoysmama · 15/07/2017 16:17

Yy whataway. These were all ground into me too!

VanellopeVonSchweetz99 · 15/07/2017 16:19

Gym guys who have been skipping leg day.
Pierced children under 13.
Astrology.

CremeEggThief · 15/07/2017 16:20

Young men who wear shoes without socks! Yuk!

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:20

Family portraits are okay if they are the traditional sort, they can look stunning. I wouldn't have any done that involve lying on the floor or sitting on space hoppers, or hanging around trees, but everyone is different and like to be quirkier than i am! Didnt get any done with ds2 as the price of it all went sky high by then.
Round robin letters are okay though. i dont send any myself, but its good to catch up that way. my dad had a canadian friend who would send a round robin and pictures of his entire family my mum and dad had never met!

Bluntness100 · 15/07/2017 16:20

I originally thought none, but in thinking deeper, I may be quite judgey Grin

Political party posters in your window. Only ok if you're a student.
Flags on display. I assume beer bellied wannabe football thug.
Tramp stamp tattooes. Sorry just no.
Women who let it all hang out in overly tight and revealing clothing as normal day wear. Ever heard of elegance?
Blokes with their tops off and out and about. Cover it up and show some class.
Blasting music from your car. I think twat.
Kids in matching clothing. Fairly creepy it has to be said.
Couples in matching clothing. Very creepy.
Parent and child in matching clothing. Over the top creepy.

Past that I'm quite tolerant really.....

Dukesofhazzard · 15/07/2017 16:21

People who post on Facebook the following:

Feeling blessed, making memories or the worst, RIP Granny Smith- you would have(of) been 115 today if you hadn't been taken, or post about how much they love their partner, children, families etc. when these people are not even on Facebook and are more than likely, sitting in the same room as them. TELL THEM.

AudTheDeepMinded · 15/07/2017 16:21

People who say haitch when they are spelling out a word with the letter 'H' in it. It's pronounced 'aitch' . You wouldn't spell out a word with 'F' in it by saying 'Feff' would you?!
