“People With Enormously Obese Pets”: 35 Things People Can’t Help But Judge Others For
We often form opinions about others based on the words they say, the actions they take, even the clothes that they wear, and since it's impossible to see the world through their eyes, we have to be extra careful with our perceptions.
At least, that's the theory, which in practice can be really hard. So when Reddit user DolphinsR4evr made a post on the platform, asking everyone "What is something you have a hard time not judging people about?", many had something to share.
From littering to neglecting pets, here are the submissions that received the most attention.

Poor treatment of pets.
u/FirehawkLS1 added:
I see that often (I volunteer at our local shelter) and it really makes me angry seeing the people come in and just surrender the dog because they couldn't be bothered to put in the time and dedication. Dogs aren't a damn appliance. They are a living breathing being with feelings. There honestly should be a database that those people get added to that prevents them from ever having a dog in the future if that's the reason why they are surrendering a dog (or any other animal). And I get that there are legimate reasons for surrendering an animal (owner dies and surviving family cannot properly care for it, loss of housing and job, etc).
Leaving trash in nature or anywhere really. I don't get it.
I always pick up garbage while I'm out. I was raised to leave the area looking better then when I arrived. I've taught my son this as well.
People who decline vaccinations for their children.
They just "know better" with zero real education on anything remotely related to science behind vaccinations.
And 99.9% of the time, they are vaccinated themselves... Poor kids that do not get the same chances because of their stupid parents. And worst, the collateral damage suffered by the ones thar can't be vaccinated, the loss in herd immunity can't be compensated with anything ☹️
People with enormously obese pets that can barely walk. It’s not cute, they are not a “chonker,” you just kind of suck.
When they shove their religion in other peoples’ faces
When POLITICIANS shove their religion onto the populace. Religion and politics should never be mixed.
People who “declaw” their cats
I got a cat from a shelter and they didn't tell me he was declawed. Thankfully I already intended to keep him indoors. My Fry was the sweetest boy and I miss his soft beans.
I hate people who feel the need to constantly bring others down and make them feel bad about things they enjoy. It's so sad to watch someone's enthusiasm about their hobby deflate because another person decided to be a d**k about it.
I love when folks get excited about the things they like. Like hell yes let's be enthusiastic about this thing together! And if I don't know about it, I sit and listen and learn in that moment and it's great. People just throw experience and knowledge at you, and it's awesome.
People who don't use their turn signals.
So annoying. It's there to let other people know what you are planning on doing, reducing accidents. And it's very bad this time of year too.
Anyone who participates in that awful tradition of slamming someone’s face into their birthday cake.
Someone’s lost an eye over it once. The baker used dowels to stabilize the cake, and when the persons face was smashed into the cake, the dowel went into their eye. No joke.
Load More Replies...That's stupid and to some extent narcissistic. My mother used to push my head into the dessert after she said it smelled funny and then laughed really hard. Innocent in her eyes perhaps, but I find it bullying.
There is nothing innocent in doing so, and it is certainly bullying.
Load More Replies...And somebody would no longer be your friend
Load More Replies...I will repeat this here - Husband and I did the wedding cake feeding, then ( unplanned) we each put a small dab of icing on each others nose as a sign of our joy and playfulness. Still total respect for each other.Marriage lasted over 40 yrs
Load More Replies...Agreed. If someone did this in my country the reaction would be very serious.
Load More Replies...What? I thought this b******t only happened at weddings. Now it’s spilled over to birthdays? If anyone tried to pull that one me at my birthday party, they would immediately leave my house—carried out feet first and in a body bag on a gurney. No jury would convict me, either.
Only Birthday cake prank I found acceptable was the candles that would not go out. Yes there was a bit more wax to pick off - but to me that is an innocent prank.
Never heard of this. Why would you do that? Then no one gets cake and that is a crime.
The root of the problem is people calling it a “tradition” when it’s a fad?
There was a women (don't know where from) who got a BB-8 cake for her b/day, family member or friend smashed he face into it and there was a wooden rod to support shape and it went into her eye. I'm sure she would of lost that eye.
To be honest I think I would just be amused if someone did this to me. However I don't eat cake so I have no stake in it being ruined 🤷♂️
You wouldn't be amused if it was done with a cake containing something hard enough to ruin an eye or break a tooth.
Load More Replies...Here's a simple solution: when some ogre slams the birthday person's face into their cake, take them outside and slam their face into a steaming pile of dog kaka, in front of the whole neighborhood. The kids will get a kick out of it.
I kind of like the idea, but these days it is not easy to find dog kaka to use, cannot you make do with some mud?
Load More Replies...You do that to me, and you WILL eat the rest of that cake in one bite.
Anyone tries that nonsense with me, they get their teeth knocked down their throat.
As long as all parties agree to this I'm fine with it, but I would be LIVID if someone did this to me. I do not like it, I do not want it. We didn't even do this at our wedding because I think it's such a stupid tradition.
Thank god I haven't seen anyone do this irl. Some cakes, especially tiered ones, have straws/sticks in them to secure the layers, and it would HURT to have one shoved in your face (understatement).
This one makes me irrationally angry. It's just the naked, rude aggression these people have to do it, like they're so desperate to slam the birthday person's face into the cake. It's like when you see people in mob mentality situations. It bothers me less on paper, but see all the videos or people lunging like animals pisses me off.
People who use their phones on full volume in public. It’s one thing for kids, but I keep seeing adults doing it. I just cannot imagine being that self centered. I’m seeing it way too often.
When parents let their kids play some annoying game at full volume, I want to bash my head against a wall until I go night night. Talk to you kid, engage with them to keep them busy. If you are going to use the electronic babysitter, get them headphones!
People with no sense of self awareness, so they stop in the middle of walkways/entrances/crosswalks for no reason.
I can't stand all the people milling around in stores like Costco, blocking the aisles, and why - for the LOVE OF GOD can people not stay right. Keep right. Just like driving, baby. Sheesh!
When their kids are acting up and they’re ignoring it and/or doing nothing to try to stop it
I work in a restaurant and just today I had to dodge 4 kids doing somersaults on the floor while carrying very heavy trays of food. This isn't a one time thing. Not only is it disrespectful, it's dangerous. I have like 200lbs above your kid, without carrying heavy trays. If I trip and fall on your kid, they could get hurt. I really don't want that on my conscience
Bragging about not reading books. Please stay away from me.
Bragging about *reading* books, too. I don't mean people who read something they enjoyed and want to share it with the world. I mean people who make reading their whole personality, talk only about how they're better than others because they read a lot and shame people who don't have time or prefer other hobbies. Or say that it's not a *real* book because it's fanfiction or from the mainstream. Unfortunately I've tons of book-snobs around me - for a few years they legit caused me to dislike reading. Fortunately, it passed.
Not cleaning up after their dog. Just get a doggy bag ppl
I can't believe all the morons that bag it up and then walk away from the bag. smh
People pressuring other people to do something after the other people have already said no
People with loud cars or people that drive like they own the road
If you want to play stupid racing cars. .. go to a track … buy a computer game…. Play with a scalextric.
I find it hard to muster up sympathy for people who die doing exciting but dangerous activities. Free climbing? Scaling a building to dangle your feet for Instagram? Free diving? Cave diving? Motorcycle tricks on the highway?
I’m sorry to the family for the loss, but like… they died voluntarily doing something completely unnecessary and super risky.
Often they need to be rescued which puts these emergency services in danger and costs a lot of money.
People smoking around their kids.
As a smoker, I know it's disgusting. I never smoke indoors and always try to avoid people. If I'm smoking in public, I find a spot far out of the way if people approach I hold my cigarette over my head and try to move further away. I'm especially always watching for kids, they don't need the smoke, neither do any other people. I never, ever smoked around children and indoor smoking is even more disgusting and I don't do that either. I know my habit is gross, it's my choice (hubby and I are trying to quit, it's not easy but it's a goal) but no one else should have to put up with my smoking. I also don't leave the butts lying around, they are field stripped and properly disposed of.
being proud of being awful and absolute a**holes to their children
When someone outgoing “adopts” a shy person. “I'm gonna make you more talkative!!” Stfu, and mind your own business, you weirdo.
people who do the whole 'competitive misery' thing. or similarly, people like the woman I work with constantly feel the need to act like my pain (and anyone else who mentions being in pain) couldn't possibly be as bad as hers and it's just very s***ty
Just because you have suffered more (this might be 100% true) than someone, it does not invalidate how they’re suffering too.
Being extremely loud in public place or restaurants and bragging
People who DECIDE to have kids when they aren't in a position to raise them
OR,
having kids with someone you knew damn well wasn't fitted to be a parent but that's convenient because you want kids and then complain how bad parents they are.
Drivers who don't stop at crosswalks for pedestrians.
Whether they wash their hands after a bathroom break. Game changer
When people knock or doors and try to preach or give you a word about their religion. Especially if you’re clearly trying to leave
A parent leaving and ignoring one family to get a new SO and raise that person's children.
My parents split up when I was young, I ended up with my mum and my dad went and made a new family, fair play to him as mum was a psycho junkie b*tch queen, now I am grown up and understand I have a lot of respect for my dad for getting out of a toxic relationship even though I miss him and haven't seen him in decades, hope he's happy
People who’ve been in a difficult situation, got themselves out of it (usually with some sort of luck or help) then look down on people currently in that same situation because they themselves were able to get themselves out therefore so should others.
Constant aggression at the slightest thing. Could be a mental health issue, but lashing out isn't the answer. I just wish the mental health system wasn't completely useless now.
So true. Like " Oh, don´t get mad at him. He has (whatever mental thing) going on." - " Oh, right, right. So I just gonna stand here let him hit me with the broom, understood."
People who complain about a situation and do nothing about it.
Overly "performative" people. Not just bragging, but... I know a guy for whom the act of reading is something you have to do in Starbucks in the hope someone will comment on the book he's reading, not actually about the act of reading.
That's just weird, but hey....you do you, I'll do me and that's just fine. I'm sure I do things other people find weird. It makes us all unique and honestly, I like that.
Torturers. I don't know anybody who likes torturers. Paedophiles, either.
for the second one, not always. they CAN try to get help . however, if they are a child r@pist, then they are evil
Load More Replies...People who can't put half an effort to capitalize when typing, especially their names. How lazy can you be to not be able to move a finger for half a moment. And don't get me started on punctuations!
Oh, totally. I Do. Not. Understand. Them. I especially find them so weird in this world where we are getting so much more woke and resist acting to traditional gender roles and stereotypes, yet there is this weird subset of people insisting on having a whole party based on “Guns or Glitter?Touch Downs or Tutus?”. It’s so icky to me!
Load More Replies...I have my own petty one: People who knock on the door even though there clearly is a doorbell. I can't hear your subltle knocking with TV on, not to mention when I'm somewhere deeper in the house, vacuuming or wearing headphones. What are you thinking??
I honestly think sometimes they don’t want you to answer. They are assigned to knock on so many doors and may have gps trackers monitored by their boss, but sometimes they just want to go home.
Load More Replies...Why does the question say "what is something you have A HARD TIME no judging"? I don't have a hard time at all 🤣. I full on judge with no remorse, as l'm sure someone will judge me. I'll rarely say something because it's probably not harmful, but l'm not gonna police my own beliefs.
Hmm? 🤔 But that's exactly what it means? "I could shut up and not judge but I have a hard time doing so." - Anyway they changed it to " can't help but judge", lol

The litter one is starting to bug me, You are part of the human race, just you existing causes there to be litter about the planet. The building you live and work in that's litter on nature, the road you drive on is garbage, the exhaust your car spews forth is garbage, you breathe out CO2 directly poisoning our atmosphere. To be a humans is to participate in a culture of taking over nature, get the f**k over yourself. I try not to litter, but what we have already done to the planet is not going to be made ANY F*****G WORSE because you threw plastic on top of concrete. Concrete is the litter.
