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.😂

Fair enough, makes me a hypocrite too because I can't stand them either but I still stand by my dislike for revert instead of reply! Grin[/quote]
I'm right there with you. The have completely different meanings!

@HahaAreyouSerious You make very good points, I agree with you, this thread is evidence but there are many genuinely lovely posters who are supporting regardless of background or SPAG.

It's actually crass how giddy and proud the OP got the more she let rip. Grin

Who'd be bothered. It doesn't bother me what anyone does unless they're mistreating someone. I don't think anyone is better or worse than me.
When they start paying my bill's they'll get my attention.
I know some mc judgemental posters will be flabbergasted at a wc person with little education having a cheek to believe she is no better or worse than anyone Shock

@Tiddleypoms

I judge earings on babies . I Try hard not to . I FAIL.
I openly judge this, I have no problem admitting it. Even when people say it’s for cultural reasons. There is no reason to stick holes and needles in a baby’s body unless it’s for medical reasons.

i keep my curtains closed i prefer it

AliceMcK · 14/05/2021 00:50

When people say “Well”. Thats well good, that’s well awesome. Drives me mad.

When people shout at their DCs in public, which makes me a complete hypocrite as I do it to mine but I can’t stand seeing others do it.

Pregnant women smoking

Anyone smoking

Anyone on benefits who has children. Someone who ends up on benefits after having children, I’m fine with. But I openly judge those who just reproduce when they are not contributing to society.

People who don’t open windows

People who cheat.

People who knowingly have affaires with someone already in a relationship.

People who don’t pick their dog shit up. Even worse, people who lets their dogs and cats lick their faces 🤢

@majesticallyawkward

I'm super judgey, so many things irritate me it drives my dh crazy! People who say hollibobs, famalam, fillum and the like People who use your/you're, they're/there/their, seen/seeing, been/being incorrectly Anyone out in public in PJs Anyone using or saying 'making memories' or any other twee bullshit Gin/wine lover accessories 'Eee I'm mad me' will automatically make me assume you are lacking in any personality An adult who can't make a phone call Using speakerphone instead of just holding the phone to your ear or using headphones when in public Reality TV, anyone who has been on it or watches it (with the exception of the great American bbq showdown, nailed it and the GB sewing bee) Kids named utterly shit names like Nahveah MLM involvement in anyway Parent who dress their dc in overly frilly/spanish clothes, more points deducted for frilly pram liners with the name embroidered
Love this!!

@HelenHywater

I don't think disliking bad grammar is unreasonable actually.

or disliking people eating in public.

I am a bit biased against very short petite women. That's unreasonable. (but explainable as I'm tall and not petite and feel hulking and like a giantess next to them, so is perhaps down to my own ishoos after all)

And toddlers on scooters careering down the street with their smiling smug parents looking proudly on.

You judge short people and kids on scooters?? What in the world Hmm

@SRS29

Tattoos....chav, and pegs left on washing lines...again chav overt prejudice I know....
Wow never knew leaving pegs on the line made one a 'chav'. Must remember that one.
ViciousJackdaw · 14/05/2021 01:08

Wow never knew leaving pegs on the line made one a 'chav'

Neither did I. I leave my pegs out on the line on purpose, so the spiders have something to rub their willies on.

miltonj · 14/05/2021 01:13

@Joonio

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.
People who go out? Shock This thread is spectacular!
miltonj · 14/05/2021 01:18

@ViciousJackdaw my favourite urban legend!

I don't even have a washing line so god knows what that makes me...

marton4710 · 14/05/2021 01:54

I hate to hear it when cooks on tv refer to “add a BIT of water”. Should be drop or spot or specific amount. But then I guess I’m just a grumpy old gran 😝

spittycup · 14/05/2021 02:23

@UhtredRagnarson

people who dont open their curtains. Or half open them at strange angles

Yes!! Hate this. And people who don’t open windows. Yuck.

yes,
I moved out of home because my M refused to open Windows or curtains. It was always musty and mouldy with moths. I am obsessed with centralisation and light now.

1forAll74 · 14/05/2021 03:07

I am very tolerant with most people now I am an oldie. but it gets on my nerves in the village here, when young women get out their cars, to take a child,or children to the local school near me,,when they just live up the road from. the village school.,I know most of these women, are not going on anywhere,as I can see them driving home,and into their drive ways afterwards..I don't know why it bothers me really, as I couldn't care less if their children refuse to walk, and are unfit and overweight..

Furrybutts · 14/05/2021 03:23

Just out of interest, what are people's issues with curtains being closed?
Does this include blinds?

I open my curtains every morning, and open my windows right through the house, but as soon as I arrive home from work, usually around 2 or 3pm, I close the curtains.
If I'm home in the day I will always have the curtains closed, or the blinds down because that's my preference.

Didn't realise it wasn't acceptable Confused

Nancydrawn · 14/05/2021 03:33

People who say "text" in the past tense instead of "texted."

"I text him yesterday" or "I text her before I got home" sets my teeth so far on edge.

(fully recognize the brackets should have a semi-colon between the clauses)

BumCat · 14/05/2021 03:57

Adults who won’t try different food and say they dislike most things because they’re “fussy”. Seems to be more and more common.

BumCat · 14/05/2021 04:02

@1forAll74 and that! I know many people who won’t walk a short journey. Their perception of how long it takes to get to places on foot is totally over exaggerated because they never walk anywhere. I walk everywhere I can, my toddler hates getting in the pushchair so I think it’s rubbing off.

Im biased about the usage of apostrophe's.

EachandEveryone · 14/05/2021 04:16

Newborn baby fathers who tell me their child’s name is their own name whilst the poor woman is next to them in their wheel chair looking shellshocked from giving birth. It pisses me off no end. And don’t get me started on the “we’re breastfeeding” “we didn’t find the labour too bad” or god when they get in there and start squeezing the mothers breast and teasing the nipple it makes me boak

Rowofducks · 14/05/2021 06:16

People who hang their dog poo in bags on trees/fences. It’s just so lazy if you don’t want to deal with the poo don’t have a dog.

Chihuahuas because I was attacked by a bunch of the mini bastards when I was little and no one cared because they are so cute and can’t really hurt you.

I tend to mainly judge people I perceive as better than me. I have very little self esteem so tend to feel everyone is judging me for being overweight, not wearing makeup, being a single mum of 3 ect. So when I meet people I judge them for judging me even though they probably couldn’t give a shit about me.

Dalamalama · 14/05/2021 06:31

People who use of instead of have.

People who hairbrush their 20 selfies they put on Facebook everyday so they look nothing like themselves.

People with no manners.

Boy/girl racers.

People when call themselves and work colleagues 'legends and heros' yes I know a group who do this. No you numpties you go to work in an an office all day, you are neither of the above.

Butchyrestingface · 14/05/2021 06:36

People who hairbrush their 20 selfies

Trying to imagine this one. 😀
