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?

People who are overly sincere about woo things like Sound Baths, and invite you and you go for fun and then they discuss it very seriously afterwards.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:46

People who have Doggy Play Dates, and Doggy Birthday Parties.

ConstanceCraving · 15/07/2017 16:47

Someone I know who is a teacher says "haitch for Henry" that's pretty worrying.

The run downs of someone's busy day on facebook make me laugh so much.
I really do not care and never comment either, but people do, because they havent run the country , walked the dogs, cleaned the house, been to work etc etc, but just sitting around ready to write ' well done hun' on facebook to their friends. grrr

rightknockered · 15/07/2017 16:48

People who sign off their emails and letters with Bsc, Mphil, etc etc.

Young men who wear shoes without socks! Yuk!
What about not young men, or women, or children? Are they exempt from judgement? Perhaps they're trying to save laundry, or the odd sock problem. Smile I regularly wear shoes without socks, including trainers. Judge away.

But I judge those who cross the road in silly places, with their children beside them, standing in the middle of the road, between the directions of fast moving traffic. Ditto those who drive wearing flip flops (dangerous!), and those who drop litter.

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:48

what is a sound bath?

rightknockered · 15/07/2017 16:49

People who post pics of their cakes/pudding on FB. I fucking hate cake

TheFirstMrsDV · 15/07/2017 16:49

I get that bad spelling and grammar is annoying but I really don't get the hatred directed at people who do it.
Why do you think their SPaG is so poor? Do you think the deliberately chose to forget all the great stuff they learned in school or perhaps they didn't get taught it properly in the first place?

My level of education is pretty low and there are massive gaps in my SPaG knowledge. I can use sentences and write quite well but without spell check I am lost and I only have very basic grammar skills.
I went to school back when this stuff was still being drummed into us at primary but I don't remember being taught what to do with a semi colon.

Its bit hypocritical getting annoyed at someone judging you for food issues because you can't help it whilst being judgy about something that is unlikely to be the fault of the person doing it.

BigFatGoalie · 15/07/2017 16:50

People who type "lol" or put "xx" on mumsnet.
People who #everything on Facebook. I have a (usually sane and lovely) friend who will post a photo of her DD with #mummysbest #happydays #adventuresofourprincess ##butterflychasing #loveyoutothemoonandback
You get the idea...

And of course all who "Hun"...

OhGood · 15/07/2017 16:50

The thing that winds me up the most is those awful naff awful ghastly people who desperately flag their middle-classness by being sniffy about wine, or overly fucking chi-chi about food, or say 'napkin' as they pass the Waitrose pack of paper serviettes like it matters.

Wankers all!

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 16:51

crossing roads in the wrong place makes my dh very angry indeed.
people not riding their bikes in a responsible way also sets him off.
i am a bit more tolerant of this.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:51

Yes, DH uses his Dr and makes me cringe. Not necessary.

veryveryquietly · 15/07/2017 16:53

Unicorn and/or mermaid themed crap.
Toenails that extend beyond the edge of the toe, no matter how perfectly filed or polished.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:53

Sound Bath- supposed meditative type treatment where you lie down on the floor and lady waves instruments and things making vibrating sounds. Such as chimes and gongs. Went on for 45 mins.

rightknockered · 15/07/2017 16:53

People who take selfies off themselves with their gobs wide open and tongue stuck out. Put it away!

alwaysprepare · 15/07/2017 16:55

People who keep their rubbish bags and bins, and recycling bins in the front garden when they all have big gardens at the back - why do you want that kind of welcome to your home? Those who also keep bedboards, old furniture, appliances etc. at the front.

Topless pot bellied man because it's so hot

Sandals and other open toed shoes on men - don't know what they should wear when it's really hot.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:55

People who have photos of themselves pouting - especially as their profile pics on things like Facebook. Also people who pout when passing a mirror and make a strange face- SIL and MIL both do this and can be quite disturbing.

ConstanceCraving · 15/07/2017 16:55

People who post photos of their bath full of bubbles and candles all around it. The same with people who post photos of any present they might receive. Fuck off we don't care.

rightknockered · 15/07/2017 16:56

Just realised I typed 'selfies of themselves'. 'Selfies' is still not part of my every day vernacular

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:56

People who put rubbish out too early and it spills everywhere or gulls get in, then you can see it all in detail. Then don;t clear it up.

theymademejoin · 15/07/2017 16:56

Dukes - definitely haitch in Ireland. I and my kids were taught the same.

Another one that bugs me is the way some English people put r's into words that don't have r's. E.g. Drawring. It's drawing.

And people who were sat or stood somewhere. They were sitting or standing. Maybe I should just extend that to bad grammar generally. Although people who use I incorrectly deserve a special mention. You can come to the party with Johnny and me, not with Johnny and I. Using "me" incorrectly doesn't bother me at all unless it's written down in a vaguely formal format so "me and Johnny are going to the party " doesn't bother me.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 16:57

Bloggers / Instagram people who make money from ads through their lifestyle pics.

Onhold · 15/07/2017 16:58

People who don't seem to understand what FB is for.
