Am curious .. do have any unreasonable bias ? ? ? . .. I know that I do and I am not proud😂

I think that we all try to be reasonable and non judgemental. However, I do think we can be labelling and bias at times. I was just discussing in private,with dh , my own pet peeve. He was quite taken aback .. he never judges , is mostly fair . Its made me wonder if many of us have quiet little unreasonable ( and are aware of ) thoughts and judgements .. ?! Meant to be light hearted.😂

Good point. There are many things on here that I dont have a problem with ( i dont judge dirty houses for eg as I know quite a few rich horse people who just do not consider cleaning cool and see it as rather common ! ). Shows much of what our values are and why. So intresting.
Re food .. I had a friend who who would openly acknowlwdge she was fat. She could never eat a chocolate bar in public as she was aware of peoples potential bias against her and possible judgwment that she was fat because she ate chocolate. It really struck me that she has that pressure in her mind , wereas it never occured to me.

One of my strange ones is I can give more cudos to taller men than shorter men .I am aware of it. It is important to be aware as it can affect your responses sometimes albiet subtle. Eg in work related meetings .

Anyone who has an overly specific way they like their tea made, Just take what you’re given and stop being a demanding diva!

People who give their tiny children (I mean like 6 months old) iPhones to watch things on to keep them quiet
People who to choose to feed their kids crap (not kids who refuse other things)
People who smack their kids
People who swear profusely in front of their kids
People who vote for political parties who could not give a shit about humans or the planet and only want to make themselves and their friends richer (yes scomo I mean you)
People who complain about having no money but buy expensive unnecessary stuff like huge cars
People who watch reality TV
People who “have” to eat meat and think it’s funny that they can’t imagine eating vegetarian food
People who openly judge what I eat (I keep my judging to myself about them) because I don’t eat meat and make all sorts of assumptions about me and tell me how I “should” do vegetarianism.
People who drive those stupid loud cars
People who judge people for living in poverty, DV or with addiction issues. It just shows how stupid you are if you have no concept of how people end up there
Racists
That will do

People who are overconfident.

I used to judge people in their PJ's during the day. I work shifts now. Sometimes I'm in my PJ's during the day because I have been sleeping and I am now up but not yet dressed.

I judge:

Earrings on babies (though appreciate that in some cultures this is a very normal thing to do)

Babies/young children drinking juice out of baby bottles.

People who let children drink fizzy drinks such as coke.

People who have affairs unless there are exceptional circumstances such as domestic violence. Why not break up with the person they are cheating on first?

People who feed their children on a diet of pretty much just junk food.

People who smoke in public without keeping a very reasonable distance.

People who are on benefits yet keep having children.

Racists, sexists and homophobic - I can't abide them.

People who continuously break lockdown rules.

Come to think of it, I guess I'm quite judgemental.....

@Bumpsadaisie 😌

People who dress their small yappy dogs in clothes

Men who wear hats indoors, baseball hats back to front.
Girls with big black brows or big lips.
Cleavage on show, studs, tattoos etc. I presume they are thick.
Bad grammar and spelling.
Friends who are always going out, where are they going? Can they not just stay in and read a book.
People who don't open the curtains but turn the light on in every room.
People who pray and their wish happens. An acquaintance prayed for cashmere sweaters in the charity shop and god answered and she found 5.
Cat haters.

Agree with All of that!

Toddlers drinking fizzy drinks is abhorrent in my view, their parents must be scumbags and were dragged up.

Earrings on babies just looks rough to me.

Also people who order a coffee but it has to be a certain temp ,certain amount of foam ,stirred to the left only ,made with milk from a unicorn..
Then they turn round and smuggly look at others in que who have been waiting ages while they order their pouncy drink .
No one is impressed you moron

@Tabitha005

Sellers on eBay whose houses look dirty and unkempt in the photos - I judge them, big time. I also seethe with annoyance at lazy sellers on eBay who can't be arsed to properly photograph the thing they're attempting to flog, thus:

I mean, WTF is actually being offered here? Is the empty juice bottle included? Grrrr.....

& the toilet roll?! I wouldn't go near that 'sofa' urgh

@GoodbyePorpoiseSpit

I judge your/you’re used incorrectly. I know it makes me a dick. I get grammar wrong all the time which makes this a double dick move. I can’t help it - when I see it.... I think the person writing it is a fool and have to remind myself that WHAT people have to say is a billionty times more interesting and important than thei

That person could have used 'your/you're' correctly 99 times and you caught them on the 100th time, and that's when they got it wrong. It really is a mistake even those with a First in English can make.

Oh, I've thought of a couple more!

People who use "revert" when they mean "reply".

Drama llamas - especially at work.

Babies with pierced ears
Babies wearing trainers
(I’m judging the parents, not the babies, of course)
People with ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ or similar slogans on the walls of their homes.
People with Chihuahuas, pugs or French bulldogs.
People who have long, decorative finger nails

Any of these things make me instantly suspect that I won’t get on with the person. Happily, I am often proved wrong about that.

People who call their pets furbabies. But worse, much worse, are people who say things like my boy died, or my baby died and put it on facebook, especially on groups where you don't know the person, and it turns out they mean their cat. Awful.
Earrings on babies, even if it's cultural, it's still ugly and tacky and it should still be their choice later.
Smokers, and I judge young smokers much more than older ones.
People who kiss their kids on the lips. I think that is gross and weird.
People who break rules or who don't think that rules apply to them, for entirely selfish reasons.

People (DH) who start breaking BEFORE they indicate. The whole point of the indicators is to warn people you are about to perform a manoeuvre that will likely involve breaking.

People who can’t spell (especially their/they’re/there, tho, chester draws).

People who moan constantly about paying their bills yet drive round in a fancy car. Prioritise people! Especially when those bills are related to living creatures that rely on you (children/pets).

People who smoke. I know it’s really none of my business but it is just so disgusting ans so bloody expensive.

But I do swear quite a bit and I have a fairly messy house so I’m in no position to judge based on this thread

here are many things on here that I dont have a problem with ( i dont judge dirty houses for eg as I know quite a few rich horse people who just do not consider cleaning cool and see it as rather common ! )

So you don't judge people with dirty houses because a few rich people don't consider cleaning cool and therefore you don't either?

@TaraR2020

Languages evolve, there is no problem with saying revert instead of reply.

@Lesemeraudes you have never kissed your child on the Lips ?

People with the type of buggy with faux fur trim hood. I KNOW they're stupidly expensive but the fluff makes it look so cheap and nasty, and it's going to get filthy.

I also judge the activity parents who schedule in an activity, sometimes. TWO, for every night of the week. The kids must be knackered!

I also judge people who judge people that shop in charity shops. My mum being one of them! And yet she'll happily accept a bag of hand me downs from her friend for my kids (not that I'm complaining!), but why the distinction?! I've had some amazing charity shop buys!

AND (ha! I'm finding my flow now) I judge people with rooms where everything matches perfectly (yes you again mum 😂). She tried to do go a bit non matching once and bought 4 different design cushions from the same range, same colour, same size, that were just slightly varied in their style. And they matched the fucking rug!

Might be jumped on for mine 😂😂

I judge stay at home mums ( not babies but older kids ) I don’t mean to and it’s both those with working husbands and single mums. I don’t believe single mums on benefits are doing anything different to those with husbands that work. I just can’t phantom having kids at school etc and not wanting to contribute to life.

I'm with you OP, I judge people who eat on the street too. I remember we weren't allowed to be seen eating in our school uniform outside the school grounds (catholic school), we were told it was undignified and it's always stuck with me. Ridiculous, I know!

@mainsfed - sure, languages evolve, doesn't stop it being incorrect usage though.

I wondered how long it would take for this thread to veer off from the lighthearted tone - it's simply one of my bugbears, doesn't have to be anyone else's!

People who give their kids stupid names thinking they are original.
I know Katie Hopkins got slated for saying that but l thought she had a point.
