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?

Photos of 4 month old babies with chocolate pudding smeared round their mouth popping up on Facebook. I've had a lot of them recently.
Also very small babies all dressed up in a frilly dress, hair band, shoes etc for the daily photo. Mine has worn a couple of dresses but they're awkward to get on and off I feel bad for the poor things that are dressed up like little dolls.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 15/07/2017 16:59

Actually many many such things with varying amounts of bedazzled-ness ranging from mere glitter to actual sparkly diamanté-osity!

A very pleasingly constructed sentence.

Pedants.

Unkept toe nails
Swearing in front of children
Eating your shopping before paying for it.
Dropping t's and h's
Unnatural (orange) fake tan
Not keen on tattoos either but trying to be more accepting as so many people have them.

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 17:01

I was taught that you put yourself last in a conversation, so i would say dh, ds1 ds2 and I , but people tend to say ' me, ds,.. etc etc

I have a friend who uses the term 'one' - sounds odd, but it is correct.
(She is 'posh' though!) were and was also get mixed up - i want to correct people but i dont!
sound baths sound grim!

PurpleWithRed · 15/07/2017 17:02

Children sitting in supermarket trolleys. #passiveaggressivehashtags. Almost all leggings. Screechyness in public. Cryptic gloomy facebook messages like "where is the light at the end of my tunnel? " designed to evoke responses of "oh what's the matter hun?" "we're here for you hun". Any use of the word Hun. Eyelashes on cars. Pouting photos on social media.

OMG I need to go and lie down now...

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 17:02

Oh , and really blingy jewellery, rings on every single finger and toe rings just make me very uncomfortable! i only ever wear a watch ( i am odd i know) and some jewellery on people is really nice , but the big over the top del boy stuff isnt! Diamond rings etc do nothing for me.

CremeEggThief · 15/07/2017 17:03

Yes, Wanderings, it is only men I judge for it. It's just looks so wrong! I'm talking proper shoes, by the way, not sandals/ flip flops.

lynmilne65 · 15/07/2017 17:04

Decking 😡

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 17:05

Jewellery that says 'mum' or ' dad' - big craze early 90s.
no need really!!

PurpleWithRed · 15/07/2017 17:05

Almost all use of 'myself' instead of 'me'. Ditto 'within' where 'in' would be better.

My judgy pants are throttling me. I will never be able to have Relations with DH again.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 17:06

Used to work in Argos as a student selling such jewellery.

My mum trying to give the children coffee (at 4 years old)Hmm

JanetStWalker · 15/07/2017 17:06

The phrase, 'making memories' makes me want to punch myself in the throat.

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 17:07

Elizabeth Duke jewellery at Argos.
It was huge once i believe.
I have no idea why, but people loved it. ( is it still going>)

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 17:08

Baby clothes much more grown up than needed- like a denim jacket for a newborn. Also baby clothes with things like "Mummy's little Darling" or "I love my Daddy" on Hmm

EssieTregowan · 15/07/2017 17:09

Huns.

Houses with no books.

Keeping coffee in the jar it comes in, next to a box of Typhoo and a packet of sugar.

I'm a terrible judgerer. Although, recently, I was walking my dog and crossed paths with a huge tattooed guy with a Boxer cross on a metal chain. He even had a face full of tats. We stopped for a sniff and started chatting and he had the most cut glass accent I've heard in ages, and was terribly polite. It threw me Grin

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 17:09

Ah, yes I worked on "ED" the memories. The scrum of people at Christmas and carefully spelling out the names! Such joy Hmm.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 17:10

Sugars in coffee / tea. Especially large amounts, e.g. 3. Probabably as i did this once. Now, i judge it.

LovelyBath77 · 15/07/2017 17:12

People who are overly overbearing.

ConstanceCraving · 15/07/2017 17:12

Yes 3 sugars raises my eyebrow I have to say.

The80sweregreat · 15/07/2017 17:12

So, i have discovered, in the last half hour that i hate:
tattoos
big over the top jewellery, or too much in the way of rings
people who judge me on the amount of toilets i have.
family portraits that are 'quirky'
the hun, hashtag craze
stupid status's on facebook ( daily thing there) I also agree with all the posters and thats rare on MN's
people who use the word 'craze' a lot... oh, thats me outed then!

bingolittle · 15/07/2017 17:12

Y Y to signs saying "HOME," "LIVE," etc.

However, when you see "LIVE" made up of separate letters, you can always wait till the owner is out of the room and rearrange them. "EVIL" and "VILE" work equally well.

WindwardCircle · 15/07/2017 17:13

Tracksuits, or just tracksuit bottoms, worn as daly wear not for exercising or thrown on for gardening/dog walking type activities. Especially the skinny grey ones, or the skinny camo print ones, or the black crushed velvet ruffled monstrosity I saw a woman wearing today. I fear we're a whisker away from a shell suit come back.

lynmilne65 · 15/07/2017 17:14

*Middle aged single people who live at home ? wtf?

Milliemoo37 · 15/07/2017 17:15

People who use words such as 'meself' in place of myself and 'jollies' for holiday.
Babies with pierced ears.
People who spend way to much money on Scratchcards/lottery. (I work in retail and the same desperate faces come in every day)
People who don't use their initiative.
Kids photos on Facebook.
An album of say 50 photos on Facebook of a night out, all of the same selfie. Just at different angles.
Football club tattoos.
.... I have many more but I'm just getting myself angry. Obviously, I'm a lovely person.... Really. Grin
(I also judge myself a lot.)
