“I Will Judge You”: 37 Things Our Community Admits They Silently Judge Others For

I know it's already been said before, but grammar and speech. I know in today's communication abbreviations are somewhat needed due to limited space. My nit is that my brother will make-up ones I have no idea of knowing, and his spelling is horrendous. When conversing personally, I absolutely hate when not using the correct tense or phrase. A coworker habitually says " I seen", instead of " I saw". It drives me nuts when people sound unintelligent.

People who claim to need welfare and get government-funded housing and various financial benefits, etc., and claim they can barely exist on it, yet still manage to buy alcohol and cigarettes.

I judge myself for judging people based on their clothing, even though I'm often right. For example, I saw a woman who was clearly dressed in a way that she wasn't from the city. White trash. She stopped to fix her hair and tug her too-tight top down in front of a shop window. It was a funeral home window with tombstones and urns on display. Tasteless. When I got within passing distance, under her white, see-through, too-tight skirt she was wearing a black thong. Still makes me shiver. It's nice to be wrong, by the way. I had to sit next to teenage boys on the bus and they looked like typical troubled teenagers. They talked the whole way about how they were worried about their obviously depressed friend and were planning a game and pizza night together to cheer him up. Oh my heart, how touching it was. I know that judging others is part of risk assessment when moving around in public places, but sometimes I'm unnecessarily mean inside my head.

Using SNAP to buy nothing but junk food, especially when they have kids. Pop, chips, donuts, etc.., but no fruit or vegetables, not even a bag of potatoes.

Teeth! The first thing I look at when I go on a dating site.

Wearing gym clothes when clearly not going to the gym

Facial piercings. You might look good in spite of them, but never because of them.

I am really bad at shopping cart judging. Like, if someone's cart is full of soda, junk food, ultra-processed food, etc. I am standing there thinking my god, treat your body better and buy real food. That junk is poison. And the people buying stuff like that always look so unhappy, too.

Not being able to agree to disagree. Look, the world would be a boring place if we all thought alike. It's absolutely ok to disagree about something with a friend, CO worker or family member. It's not ok to be demeaning or treat someone who doesn't see it your way with respect.

I'm a firm believer in socks. When talking about a potentially volatile subject, speak about it with all the emotion you would put into buying a new pack of socks. By keeping the emotion in check, it's easier not to want to argue your position or feel you have to defend it.

Bonus points if you're able to see the other guys point of view, and slaps on the back if you're able to admit that or perhaps learn something new!

I try my very best not to be judgy, but one thing I don't think I'll ever be able to not judge is if they're on welfare just because they can't be assed to get a job or 'work is below them.'

Not talking about people who have disabilities and so can't work, or single parents that don't have the time to get a job. I mean the ones who turn down jobs so they can smoke weed all day or talk about how smart they are but somehow "can't" get a job. I had a 'friend' that was like the latter, and she was also very much "work is below me." Yeah, because Jobseeker is something to which one should aspire.

I know I shouldn’t, but when people my age or younger talk about dating and s*x. Like they’re minors. I have no right to judge them for living their life and I know that studies aren’t everything, but a lot of the people near me wish to crack one of the toughest exams in my country yet they spend all their time going after others. I hate my way of thinking honestly.

There are some accents that are like scratching a chalkboard for me. I will get uncomfortable enough to leave if I can. I will not say which accents they are, because this is my hangup and I know it's dumb.

Tattoos. My personal belief is that graffiti does not even belong on abandoned buildings, much less human beings. (FYI - mama brought me up right and I would never comment, sneer or otherwise reflect my opinion when I see people with tattoos, but it's a good thing no one can read my thoughts.)

Footwear.
Men wearing shoes without socks, Crocs on the street. Worst offense is drivers in flip flops or open toe sandals.
Trousers too short to reach shoes or even ankles - obviously no socks.
Those are my judgments on mankind.

Loving the movie 28 Days Later.

Seriously. My spouse and I use this as a test to see if people are pretentious. It's usually spot on. Normally, we are not very judgmental, but if you love this movie, we will judge you. Ridiculous but true.

If you post a workout video on YouTube, & you are even a tiny bit overweight, I will not do your workout because it obviously doesn't work. Sorry. I am awful.
