Let’s be honest—most of us secretly judge people for little things, even if we know we probably shouldn’t. Maybe it’s how someone talks, dresses, or acts in public. These small things might not matter much, but they still catch our attention.
We asked the Bored Panda community to share the things they quietly judge others for. The answers are funny, honest, and super relatable. Scroll down to see if any of them match your own!

Having a ton of children because "God gives them to you." I find these families selfish and ignorant.
Oh, you'll absolutely LOVE the novel 10:59 by N. R. Baker. It's a thriller, but it contains facts that are scarier than any fiction. Exponential growth is going to wipe our species out sooner than anything else, and why? Ignorance. In the 1960s Martin Luther King Jr warned of the dangers, and at that point the Earth's human population was HALF what it is now. It's simply unsustainable, yet we go on breeding like the world will expand along with us.
And they all exist and live off federal,state and the kindness their townspeople to the tune of a lot of income without working a day in their lives. Hits a sore spot for me, yes I'm a BOOMER!
I mean... spiderman could have. You just have to watch that umbilical cord, they'll swing between skyscrapers on that little thing.

I'd buy the God excuse only if He's been having threesomes with you.
God didnt gave them, you simply couldn't kept your legs closed. The same with all those poor families,with 8 (or more) children, you mostly see begging on the streets
No need to “keep your legs closed.” Birth control exists.

If you commit crimes against children.... I will judge you.
If you commit crimes and use religion as an excuse... I will judge you.
Well, there are certainly a lot of people who will claim the devil made them do it, and their god will forgive them. Even if they don't follow any of the "rules" their gods have set down for them.
And if you commit crimes against children using religion as an excuse, everybody will judge you.
People who voted for Trump.
I know. Everyday I tell myself not everybody in that group can have an IQ of 9. Every single day.
No it had nothing to do with the IQ, it has to do with the intent. They are happy to make other people feel bad so they feel superior. Happy to make other countries poorer so they feel richer. Happy to destroy the lives of immigrants so that they feel like a superior race. Clever people can be a******s too.

It’s not as if I’ve gotta whole helluva lotta sentient decades left, and these people effing ‘em up for me is more than I can take sometimes. Grrr. 🤬🤬🤬 Same goes for Andrew Tate supporters, and some days, even more so, like when he’s spewing all the women-hatred.

Some of them, I feel sorry for. Being brainwashed by Faux News propaganda machine, they don't actually have any idea what's going on in the world. Judging the people who feed those lies to the people extra hard instead
People that allowed a brain dead man to remain president for four years and almost voted for an alcoholic for the next liberal president.

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!!"
THANK YOU!!!!! Please keep it up. We all have to speak up against s***s. Looking the other way is how we got HERE.
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.
A large part of celebrity culture seems to be idolising complete morons, so yeah, I think some people are proud to be dumb, only they won't see it like that, they'll see it like "not wasting my life being a swot".
Load More Replies...To add on a bit to the second one: I silently judge people who can’t spell because it tells me they don’t read. If I hear people mispronouncing words, it tells me they read but have never heard the word spoken out loud, so they get props, but the other way around? I’m silently judging you, and pretty harshly, too.
The spelling one isn't fair. A lot of people are dyslexic. I'm an English teacher with a masters degree and I can't spell because of dyslexia. Every word I know how to spell I have memorized. I work around it by not hand-writing anything with my students. I have my laptop connected to the smart board so I can spell check as I go.
Load More Replies...I'm going to say this despite being one of those parents with a very well-behaved kid. Kids' behavior is not always the parents' fault. I got lucky; being well-behaved is just an innate characteristic for my son. On the rare occasion when he's very naughty, I don't even know what to do. When it comes to parenting, I feel like that meme of the golden retriever in chemistry goggles: "I have no idea what I'm doing." I did, however, catch on very quickly how to handle it when he throws a fit, which is fortunate, because EVERY child throws fits once in a while. It's what they do when they're overtired.
Agreed, my kid is incredibly polite and well behaved. Even at 17. But it's her nature, we've barely had to discipline her, rarely had to punish her. Other people's kids are varied, within the same family. There's a lot to do with personality.
Load More Replies...This one is a slippery slope for me. My Son has autism, so, judging me by the way he acts...Is that fair?
I am talking about otherwise neurotypical kids who never learns boundaries or to be respectful of other people and things like that.
Load More Replies...I will never judge a parent for trying to be a parent and struggling when their kid is having a bad time. I will judge A LOT when I see/hear a kid screaming like a banshee, hitting their parents, throwing stuff, and just being super disruptive while the parents just walk on like nothing is happening. I call BS whenever parents claim that was the only time their kid did that because their kid didn't get the "attention they wanted".
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.
A major bugbear is talking with a mouth full of food. Hollywood seems to think this is ultra cool, since it's now pretty much standard in every film or TV series. Disgusting.
If it's not intentional, I can look past it. It is a natural body function that can't always be held in, nor is it healthy to do so. But if people are very obviously, purposely burping and farting then it's when I stop eating for the rest of the meal and go to the bathroom. Just for wanting to be the better example.
Chewing with their mouth open. Especially crunchy food. Also, not respecting personal space.
This is why I don’t get all the tiktok videos of people eating. They take huge bites and then chew loudly and sloppily while sauce is smeared all over their lips and it makes me want to gag - like wipe your mouth, ugh. I love food videos and the algorithm hasn’t yet picked up that I only want to see the food, not a close up of some lady’s inflated lips smacking and chewing and covered in sauce. 😂 🤢
I think, these videos are following a certain trend, there's a name for it, but I forgot what it is.
Load More Replies...Crunchy foods, even chewed with their mouths closed, gets under my skin. I have to join in. I can tolerate it if I'm doing the crunching to drown out the other person's crunching.
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.
Group 1: If you litter, you are trash. I don't care what you're wearing. If you swear at passers-by, you are worse than trash. Again, I do not care what you're wearing. Group 2: If you're thirst-trapping at a h*******t museum/ex concentration camp, you are a narcissistic piece of p*o. Group 3: The people in a democracy get the government they deserve.
Correction to #3: Only half the people in this country got the government they deserve; the other half (me included) most definitely do not deserve the s**t show we're currently living in.
Load More Replies...All these scenarios the people are trash...has nothing to do with their appearance.
This is normal. Most of us automatically make inferences based upon a rapid visual examination before anything has been said. Expression and eyes? Tattoos or piercings? Style of dress? Quality of dress (hand downs vs shop bought vs tailored)? Shiny shoes? Sensible or impractical? Hair style/colour/decorations? These all play into our subconscious evaluation of people.
This happens so frequently we have "clothes maketh the man" but since it's not hard to "dress to impress" while others dress down, we shouldn't "judge a book by its cover". Etc.
Load More Replies...For the last one, as an American I can't understand it either. It's disgusting.
It sounds more like their behaviors are what you are judging them on.
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.
I honestly don't think there are many practicing Christians out there. What there is is a lot of hateful bigots who (mis)use religion to give their bigotry 'legitimacy'. They don't care what Jesus told them to do, they will cherry pick the parts of the Bible that suit them.

I unhappiest people I ever met carried a bible 24/7. I guess they didn't like being surrounded by all us heathens.
People who don't pick up their dog poop. ERRRR!!
100% agree with this. I just want to add one thing: Parks that require you to pick up your dog's p*o, but then allow people with horses. Those horses leave mega dumps all over the place, and nobody has to clean them. Why do this rich jerks get to leave their massive horse turds along the trail, but my dog's dookie is offensive. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to pick up after my dog, and I do it, even when there's horse dung around. I just don't get how that unfairness makes any sense.
there is a huge difference between dog poop and horse poop. Horse diets are primarily vegetation and do not have nearly as much bacteria, parasites, etc. that a carnivorous dog diet can contain. I'm not saying it has 0 environmental impact, but it's pretty minor... and could you imagine the poop bags required to carry that around in? That would ironically cause much more of an environmental impact than the poop itself
Load More Replies...It's so bad in my area that when my daughters were learning to speak I honestly thought that their first words would be "mind that dog p*o" because i felt like that was all I ever said to them when we were going for a walk. If I ruled the world, I would make anybody caught not picking up their dog p*o spend a whole week cleaning up dog p*o in public places at their own expense.
Make it legal to grab 'em by the back of the head and smoosh their face into it. I guarantee they'll clean up after themselves from that point onwards.
Load More Replies...Absolutely. 99% of dog owners can and will do it. Why do YOU think you are the exception?
The problem is that that 1% is the one people notice and they usally blame the 99%!
Load More Replies...I've seen bags of p*o where someone picks it up but then leaves it behind because they want to look like they tried without finding a trash can. Unfortunately not all bags stay as sealed as one would hope...
I sure got a lesson on that just the other day at Target. I ran in to get my cat some food, but I had my puppy with me. I walked him around before we went in but I thought, just a quick in and back out... so I didn't bring in his little pup pouch of all things puppy needs. And of course, he pooped in the big aisle on the way to the kitty food aisle. I nearly died of ultimate supremo humiliation but I still cleaned it up even though I had to go find cleaning stuff. He's still my little Boo though. LOL
They let animals into a store with human food? Ugh! I think the only place that still happens over here is Paris, but then the locals will tell you that Paris is "special". 😂

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.
As a former grammar & spelling N**i, I've learned not to judge that type of thing, unless it is their job to do that sort of thing. I've known very intelligent people who could read well & figure how to fix complicated mechanical & electrical problems that they have never experienced before, but their spelling was atrocious. Now I judge the people who judge them, including myself. I'd rather have the person who can fix things or create things than someone who has the intelligence of my computer spell checker & auto reader & can be replaced by a computer. Authors are notoriously bad about spelling & grammar. Great grammar & spelling will get you a job as an admin to make corrections for people who make a lot more money than they do.
There are also so many "dialects" of English that would have been acceptable had a few thousand people from small villages in North England spoken like that. But if a few million people from Chicago speak in a particular way, they are doing it wrong. No, language is defined by usage. If we speak wrongly for long enough, we define a new grammar.
Load More Replies...Maybe they live in a country where the educational system is designed to disadvantage poor and minority children.
Spelling errors. I don't care how intelligent someone is, I immediately devalue their opinion and no longer trust what they say. I know how easy it is to hit the wrong letter, have your mind let you type the wrong form of a word (there/their), etc. I do it myself, but to not read over and correct it? To be fair, I sometimes even miss it on review occasionally. If I see it later I am absolutely mortified and correct it immediately, so I do judge myself as well.
It’s often difficult when you are dyslexic to get spelling correct on some words. No matter how often I try to do it.
Load More Replies...And punctuation. Paragraphs, commas, apostrophes and periods were invented for a reason.
I literally honestly ultimately truly seriously undeniably CANNOT F*****G TAKE IT ANYMORE WITH THE ADVERBS!!!! Especially "literally". Every. Other. F@cking. WORD! And I KNOW they LITERALLY dont even know WTF it means. STOP FFS!!!
In a way we are correcting the language. There are so many errors in the English language that are remnants from older languages and mistranslations, or misspellings. Text speak goes straight from pronunciation to spelling. "Tho" is more accurate than "though". Thru, more accurate than through. English could really do with a reset. The difficult thing is that English has so many sounds that we simply don;t have enough letters, and some that are obsolete. C has no purpose.

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.
So much this. I work in kindergarten and I see that too much. SET YOUR KID BOUNDARIES. Yes, its hard to see them cry, yet boundaries are orientation too bc the child cant know how the world is working. With no boundaries you just make stuff harder für your kid bc kindergarten and school will set them aswell. Of course there should also be room for freedom and compromises. But keep in mind that raising a kid will also be hard work. You dont want that? Well then maybe dont have a kid.
It is, in another post that covers the issue more broadly than just classroom behavior (for the parent and the child).

I know it's wrong and bad of me, but I just can't help silently judging Disney Adults.
I used to be a Disney fan, but never really got big into it. Everything at the Disney store is just too expensive. But I loved the vibe and still love the classic movies. Over the recent years, after learning how horrible the animators have been treated, and how greedy the corporation is, the zeal for Disney has been fading in me. Once I heard most, of the animators had been fired, I don't have the excitement for new Disney movies I used to have. This makes me very sad. It's all about Dreamworks, now.
I'm a Marvel comics superfan. Have been since 1992. I can't help that Disney bought my favorite superheroes.
Yes. At a certain point, it's time to put away childish things, as the Bible says, and read a real book or watch a serious movie. Kidults annoy me. But furries are far, far worse than Disney Adults. If you think that a character on "Duck Tales" is the very embodiment of your soul, I have zero time for 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.
Being both a software quality engineer and an editor (so I’m a double anаl-retentive аsshole), I usta practically pitch fits about bad grammar, but at some point, I became able to differentiate between bad grammar and someone whose first language isn’t English. At that point, I was able to relax about the latter group and not only cut ‘em some slack but also cheer ‘em on in my head because they’re learning something crazy-hard and doing a damned fine job of it!

I like to think of my grammar and spelling as being reasonably good, though admittedly my grammar knowledge is not what it could be. My handwriting however is utterly appalling and always has been, cursive especially. Most people, myself included very rarely need to write anything by hand these days, everything is typed into a computer of one sort or another. Judging people by their handwriting will and is becoming increasingly redundant.

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).
So you "fully believe people should wear what makes them feel good/comfortable" as long as it makes you feel good and comfortable as well?
Call me old-fashioned, but I come from a time when fishnets and a clear vinyl miniskirt were not uncommon clubwear, so what they're describing is really pretty tame. People can wear what they want.
I just hate it when people dress really provacitively and then pretend to be bothered with all the attention.
Wow no need for the bashing of women's bodies in the last sentences. The gross term "camel-toe" is already used enough to make the women who have them feel self conscious about our own bodies and make us feel like we should be ashamed to have the so called "camel-toe". Women who have them can't help it. Also.... why are you looking down there?
These types of people are the reason I got in trouble for wearing a thick sleeveless shirt with a cardigan I briefly hung off my arms because I was getting hot at work. I guess my "junk" was my shoulders exposed. *gasp*
My issue with this is that adults should wear whatever the hell they choose. If they want to wear a 2 inch "skirt" with a tube top - have at 'er. It's your body and your life. With girls - it's just a flat out no. I wish our society was able to not view little girls (under 18) as sexual fodder, but that's just not the world we live in. Having young girls wear revealing clothing makes them easy targets for predators and creeps. Sad, but true.
I hereby grant the OP the privilege of just walking on and tending to their own business.
Taking children while they obviously can't handle them/don't have the money/lack of brain/all of the above.

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.
Heard this the other day. Got a female dog, didn't get her spayed. Their unfixed male dog got the female pregnant. They are complaining about how much its going to cost to have her spayed and get rid of unwanted puppies. Gee, which came first?
I used to work with a lady who would spend money just for the sake of spending. She would buy anything and everything she saw just so she could say she'd got it. She'd buy food items eat a couple of mouthfuls anx then throw the rest away. She bought clothes that she'd wear once and then throw away (yes, she actuallythrew them in the bin rather than wear them again or give them away). She spent thousands on surgery and procedures. Then she'd complain that she was in debt.
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.
"I should of..." I literally looked into a grammar book to check if I had learned "I should have..." wrong in school (English is my third language), like , maybe there IS a "should of"? Spoiler: there isn't. It's just the invented/misheard version of "should have".
I want to scream when a British person is talking and says something in the past tense, starting with, "So I'm sat..." No! It's "I sat," or "I was sitting." I understand though that this is becoming common usage in Britain. It still drives me round the bend.
"This floor needs mopped" drives me up the wall. A floor needs to be mopped or a floor needs mopping.
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've seen over the years that most substance abuse is a substitute for absent mental health care. If smoking is how you get through the day, perhaps consider that you have an anxiety problem and that other types of medication might help you more.
Yes, substance abuse is often a means of self-medication, but you're taking this waaaay too broadly. Plenty of people abuse alcohol or smoke despite having mental health care. Despite socialized medicine, Europe smokes and drinks more heavily than America. (Britain being a significant exception as far as smoking.)

I think people on welfare are allowed to decide for themselves what they spend their money on.
I hate this constant trope people always refer to whenever social assistance is brought up. Not everyone on it has addictions. Some people are on it for legitimate reasons, do everything right, and still struggle to keep themselves and their dependents healthy and well with what they get. For example. My daughter is on long term disability. If you, as a working person, have healthcare insurance, ask yourself how many visits to the dentist and what the costs would you be allotted. People are supposed to go to the dentist twice a year. My daughter gets one a year for basic care. This will not cover things like root canals, wisdom teeth removal, and other expensive procedures. She needed her grandparents help for that. She gets barely enough to help cover rent with just a couple hundred for the month for food and other needs. Okay? I have, however, met welfare abusers who did a lot of tricks to attain whatever they wanted, including putting themselves in debt and hiding from debts.
This is so true. When I was in Egypt, desperately poor families with dirty, barefoot children begging while father smoked like a chimney, "People justified it, " But tobacco is cheap here." Whatever it costs if they didn't smoke they would have just that much more to spend on their children.
Worked with a woman who would collect all refundable cans and bottles from everyone at work, so she could buy milk for her baby. But she went to the Starbucks across the street twice a day for a tall something or other, depending on the weather. That's a least 2 gallons of milk worth a day.
Maybe she was collecting tin for her Starbucks so she can use her wages for her baby's formula.
Load More Replies...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.
But it's ok for a rich person to use their Trump tax cut 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.
Junk food may be much cheaper than quality food... and if you're working two jobs or raising kids by yourself, the fact that it's faster is also a factor that can't be avoided.
Exactly. Have they seen the price of fruit? Plus, kids shouldn't have to go without having treats.

Don't want to quibble, but one could argue that chips could fit the definition of "a bag of potatoes".
I do not know about know but pretty sure mostly still applies. When I was on WIC Women, Infant and Children which supplemented food it could only be used on approved food, like vegetables, fruit, milk, powder formula and such. Computer controlled now of days so pretty hard to get around. This is in USA so hope this was in the past and is controlled in SNAP now.
It's what they know, probably how they were raised. The need for food education is huge.
I've been trying to eat healthier, myself, on my meager wages. I managed to do this for a while, but I have to say it was still expensive, and I still need supplements on top of that. If my income was reduced to half that, I would be only able to afford pasta and other c**p, like Mr. Noodles.
Load More Replies...I'll judge greedy CEOs who pay their staff so low they're forced to use government aid. This is what I like to refer to as "indirect corporate welfare", because the corporations can very well pay their employees high above minimum wage, but refuse to because they would rather reap the profits for themselves and toe the lines of what they can just legally get away with without a care in the world how their employees are faring.
Most prepared food is more expensive than raw ingredients, healthy or not. This doesn't apply to everyone on SNAP, certainly, but if everybody made great decisions every time they had the chance, there would be no need for a SNAP program.
Teeth! The first thing I look at when I go on a dating site.
I used to have a MAJOR hang up about that. I had very nice naturally straight teeth. But at 37 I had a child and he took all the nutrients from me and my teeth just started to fracture all the time. Also missing 2 side front teeth from being punched in the mouth while having a lip ring in. I'm poor and american so won't be seeing new teeth any time soon.
I didn't realize that for years I was extremely anemic & ended up losing 4 teeth before I found out. Perfectly good teeth just fell out. Luckily, they were in the back.

Meh. If I’m going on an 11pm snack run to 7-11, I’m not getting dressed up for that. No one will die by seeing my cartoon-mooses-playing-hockey pj pants.

I miss the days when people used to get a little dressed up for travel......
Yeah, if I'm running to the store really quick for anything or sick and need to go somewhere...I'm looking for comfort, not to impress anyone.
When we were young and our family went to the drive-in (Yes, I'm that old), our parents had us go dressed in our pajamas so that they could carry us directly to bed when we got home without waking us to change.
What? Why? Everyone should be allowed to purchase something comfortable and movable to exercise in, regardless of size. Why should only fit people be allowed? What a weird thing to say, give your head a shake.

Facial piercings. You might look good in spite of them, but never because of them.
Naw, I've seen many facial piercings that looked good and were classy. I say it is a very acceptable area of self expression and I support the freedom, even in the workplace!
Thank you! I have a small jewel in the side of my nose. I think it looks classy and clean. I don’t care if anyone disagrees 😊
Load More Replies...Piercings, just like any other adornment, are an extension of your personal style. Much like makeup, you can use them to balance out your face, or draw attention to/away from other features. I knew someone when I was in school that had two unusual facial features: one was a notable gap in one eyebrow which she offset with a barbell, and the other was a scar from cleft-palate surgery when she was a baby, which she made disappear behind a septum piercing. Both looked just great on her.
Lol, this is a really old school take. Tell me you're a boomer without telling me you're a boomer.
Depends on the person. Some people look so interesting and beautiful with a few face piercings. That one girl on the over of Godsmack's early album, stunning.
Will we EVER learn to stop judging people based 95% on what they look like???
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.
We really shouldn't do that. Its impossible to know what someone's shopping patterns are. I'm often the guy pushing the cart full of junk food, because the store that sells cheap junk food and canned goods is separate from the store where I get my fresh meat and vegetables.
We call the shopping cart a "people pusher" for those people that daydream in the aisles. I don't notice other groceries unless they have a large amount of one item. Those people are unhappy because they have to choose between food or gas
The ones with large amounts of one thing, I just think they own a convenience store they're stocking up. Or have a big pantry.
Load More Replies...It kinda depends tho. Normally Im buying rasperries and blueberries every week plus whatever ingredients I need for mealpreps which I do on Sundays. Sometimes more fresh ingredi3nts, sometimes less, sometimes (rarely) none at all when I have stuff at home (beside said berries which are a must in my shopping cart) Fresh food can be more or less, I also buy crisps, iced tea and bifis every week. So I guess on some weeks my shopping cart is pretty easy to judge.
Maybe they're planning a party? Sometimes my shopping stuff is a lot of junk. Sometimes it looks like I'm a health nut.
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!
Some things are about morals. I’m not going to agree to disagree when the subject is something that I find morally reprehensible. Oh you think it’s ok to as less than because of their race and I don’t. Cool, let’s just agree to disagree and move on from here.
Good point. I hate when certain red-hat folks try to claim they’re being victimized just for having a “different opinion” when that opinion is actually racist and incredibly uneducated.
Load More Replies...Sexism, racism, and homophobia are wrong, because they attack a person for something they didn’t choose, that they have no control over. Ugly political opinions are a CHOICE. You could change them if you wanted to. So yes, I judge people whose “opinions” are that it’s OK to harm other people. Looking at you, MAGAts.
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.
People who think work is below them are more likely to have been given a trust fund than welfare.
According to Social Assistance, being a single parent is no excuse. They will tell single parents they have to be actively finding childcare, any sort of childcare, and actively looking for work. They will give them a spread sheet they have to fill out every week showing where they applied, how they applied, the time and when. The places they applied to may be contacted by the agency to verify an application was given. (Not sure they still do that in this day and age. But I'm sure other, technical, forms of proof is demanded.) The ages of the children must be under 6 and not going to school full time. Some mothers do have to make a decision to have an another child if she's struggling to find affordable childcare and a job before her kid turns 6, because once they do then welfare is threatened to be cut-off. That is one reason why you see mothers on welfare with multiple kids. Childcare, in Canada, is expensive and there can be long, years long, waiting lists.
If work is "below" you, then money is too. Eff off, you broke losers
My SIL grew up on welfare, and is the laziest, most entitled selfish parasite on this earth. She wont even humble her useless a*s enough to ASK for help - she also expects YOU to offer her help. Her whole family is trash. Her brother is in prison for killing a little old lady for m**h money

This person is a kid and they don't think other kids should be so focused on s3x and dating.

I was a late bloomer, and I mean, real, real late. Not everyone needs to lose their virginity at the first opportunity, but knowing how to relate to other people sexually is a genuine skill, and not one that people are born with. When the OP finally ends on a date with somebody at the age of twenty-eight, or whatever, it's unlikely to be a comfortable or fun experience.
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.
There is one accent while on the phone I cannot decipher. I try and try and finally have to ask to be passed to someone else. I hate it, but I have stuff I need to get done.
Do you ever feel super embarrassed when that happens? 😅 for some reason not being able to understand people with a heavy accent is so embarrassing for me and I don’t know why haha
Load More Replies...There are many accents that are difficult to endure. Those various, really slow Southern U.S drawls are up there, for sure. However, as far as U.S accents go, they can't hold a candle to the sound of someone from Long Island. Good lord that is an awful sound.
I'm from down sowf and I have no idea what you're saying most of the time.

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.)
I have zero tattoos, I'm a needle-phobe. I couldn't care less if someone has visible or a lot of tattoos. I will wonder about the folks' maturity who have facial tattoos, that never seems like a wise choice. But otherwise, why would I care? Your tattoos won't stop you from any service I need. The X-ray Tech has no problems taking an X-ray if they have tattoos, same as a baker, a therapist or a bank employee can function perfectly even if they have 'graffiti' on them. Someone is a bit of a tightarse.
Me, too! Unfortunately I went through chemo and they didn't put in a port. A new needle and a new vein every time. I don't even have pierced ears.

Depends! If you’re really diligent, there’s ways around it :) I remember a camping trip where I needed to wear shoes without socks for a while (long story) - I washed my feet before putting them into the shoes, used hand sanitizer on my toes first and shook some foot powder inside the shoes, and took them off to air out any chance I got. After a week they didn’t smell at all :) it would be a lot of work to keep up with on the daily though
