Having a ton of children because "God gives them to you." I find these families selfish and ignorant.

If you commit crimes against children.... I will judge you.

If you commit crimes and use religion as an excuse... I will judge you.

Emotional abuse and bullying against their children.
If things get worse, I'd probably step in.

I did it once, in a subway station. The mother kept insulting her 8 y.o. girl for being "bad, ugly, and an idiot". I snapped at her: "Why are you doing this to your child?! You're setting her up for a life of mistreatment!"
Then, to the little girl: "You're smart and pretty, and you deserve to be treated right. Never forget that."
As I was leaving, I heard the girl's voice: "I'm smart and pretty! I'm smart and pretty!!"

I totally judge parents on their kids' behaviour! 9 times out of 10, if I think your kid has awful behaviour, your behaviour is awful as well. In the end, I don't blame the kids. But yeah, I do judge the parents.

Also, people who brag about not having read any books in their life. A lot of silent judging from me.

Their manners. They don't have to be refined and perfect, but the basics. Wipe your feet, don't burp/pass gas at the table, be polite and respectful, say please and thank you.. etc... I know when I'm at someone's house and they start burping loud at the table, I never wanna go back. I don't want to hear/see/smell/taste your nasty gastric issues. It's disgusting and I can't even pretend it isn't.

Chewing with their mouth open. Especially crunchy food. Also, not respecting personal space.

I know I shouldn't, but I secretly judge people on appearance.

For example, if a group of teenagers are wearing jogging outfits and baseball caps while they sit outside a fast food restaurant and smoke and litter and swear at passers-by (as seen in every British town and city), I find it very difficult not to think they're complete trash.

Or if people wear layers of make-up and designer clothes and pout their plastic lips for a camera while standing in places like ex-concentration camps, I can't help but consider what shallow, disrespectful, narcissists they are.

And if a loud-mouthed, brightly coloured bully changes his country's policies to disenfranchise the poor while he and his cronies get richer, again, I can't help wondering why that idiot is possibly allowed to continue unchecked with his power trip.

Loudly religious people or performative religious types.. They want to be seen as good people doing good things but they're really just judgy hypocrites. Some of them are using religion as a grift to extort money from other folks. MANY of them are edging up on being christo-fascists with dreams of remaking the USA in their image.

Their basic literacy: can't spell, can't construct grammatical sentences, can't punctuate, can't read beyond primary school level (if that), no critical literacy ( eg can understand use of figurative language and symbolism, ability to evaluate argument, can't distinguish between fact and opinion), can't construct basic written texts.

I judge parents who walk into classrooms and moan about how it's everyone else's fault their little darling has awful behavior. Only to hear them swearing, being obnoxious and letting their child get away with it all because they don't want to be mean by saying no, and putting in boundaries. It's called being a parent. You are your child's first teacher.

Carrying a Stanley cup, those stupid viral stuffed toys, or wearing anything plastered with designer logos. That kind of conspicuous consumption will make me judge you.

Grammar and spelling. Retired teacher here, and I own my snobbery. Also handwriting. I've come to respect people more if they have legible *and* intelligent-looking writing. I've lost respect for people whose handwriting looks childish.

That said, I used to judge people for talking country, but have grown out of that snobbishness. Dialects and idiomatic speech are unique, and spoken conversation is and should be far different from written text.

Super revealing clothing. I see so many (younger) people--predominantly girls and women--wearing practically non-existent clothing: Why bother getting dressed at all if your junk is still going to hang out? I fully believe people should wear what makes them feel good/comfortable, but you can't seriously tell me that short shorts that give severe camel-toe front wedgies is actually comfortable (not to mention pretty trashy looking. Not everyone wants to see your vúlva).

Taking children while they obviously can't handle them/don't have the money/lack of brain/all of the above.

Obviously everybody should be following a course about children before they have them. Because in the end, the children end up in the same situation.

Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and just generally bad writing. If I can do these things well, it’s not that hard.

When people talk about how they waste money, especially if they don't make a lot. Some of my friends brag about how wasteful they are, like laughing about impulse buys on Amazon, getting thousands of dollars worth of ink work, etc. They also want me to discuss my finances, but I just can't discuss it without my judgement coming through. And I can't even look them in the eye if they get a surprise expense like a sick pet and can't afford it.
