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.

"People With Enormously Obese Pets": 35 Things People Can't Help But Judge Others For 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).

100% agree. In California, the penalty for hurting or even k'|ling an animal is a fine and up to 3 years in jail. My dog is basically my child, that's how much I love him. If he was m_rdered, I can't imagine the perpetrator being free after just 3 years.

I 100% disagree with the addition. Yes treating pers bad is not okay, but the addition is just overly judgemental and if too many people at shelters had this attitude, we would find even more pets in dumpsters and tied to trees and lampposts or otherwise just left behind. If you can't care for your pet as you should, bring it to the shelter and let that be a lesson not to get another one and you are still good. Better let someone have it who enjoys the pet. And stop judging people who can't care for their pet and do the right thing and give it away. Stop calling it 'don't bothering'. You can't know if they could have done it, and you are a bad person if you jump at people who are bringing their pet instead of just abandoning it at the street.

I'm thinking particularly about elderly people who can barely take care of themselves. Aging is a b***h and it can take some time to realise your abilities are declining and accepting that somebody else has to take care of your pet (and probably yourself)

Better than abusing, ignoring or just leaving a pet on the street. If you can't take care of it, it's the right thing to surrender the pet.

A person I know had been starving their dog, grossly underweight, impossibly matted hair, chained up 24/7 with a chain that couldn't be undone without a hacksaw. Unregistered. So hungry it was eating it's own fur. Would have been dead from malnutrition in less than a week. I took it away from its abuser to the emergency vet clinic. Fine. So why was everyone treating ME as the villain, for maliciously stealing this poor woman's pet. By everyone I mean the vet, the vet's receptionists, the council, the RSPCA, the lawyer, and the pound. Everyone sided with the abuser against me, and the abused dog was returned to its abuser two days later. Double standards.

One of my acquaintances keeps her two dogs and two cats in crates/cages all day long, only letting the dogs out to potty twice a day. I have called the authorities on them several times, but she simply doesn't let them into her home without a warrant. Our local authorities don't feel it's warrant worthy. She claims she "loves" them so much, but that is NOT love. That is vanity.

When I was a kid in the 70's I saw a man almost get beaten by an entire neighborhood of angry parents for yelling at his dog after it was hit by a car. He just kept screaming at the dog to get up. Thirty against one wouldn't have turned out to well, but neither did one angry wife with a broken broom stick handle. Sadly Big Bear the sheep dog didn't make it, but he passed quickly if that's any consolation.

The shelter I worked for *did* keep a database of people who surrendered animals. If you came back to adopt at any point in the future you'd be flagged and it was very unlikely your adoption would go forward.

This post is underrated. It should be at the top. And not only dogs, cats sometimes get surrendered as well. Even though they may not be as attached to their owners as dogs, they should still be treated with the same respect and care.

It's a myth that cats are not as attached. We've bred dogs for specific traits for thousands of years. While cats domesticated us not that long after dogs, cats have only been bred for specific traits for a couple of hundred years. Dogs have been bred to please us and to understand our language, both verbal and non-verbal. Cats have not. The fact that they are still as attached to us as they are is amazing.

    As a recent meme I saw here, a lot of nonvac folks say that being vaccinated can be a deadly problem... they point out that everyone who received the world's first successful vaccine (cowpox) in 1796 are dead and that's not good. And yes, I am making fun of those still saying vaccinations are terrible for everyone even with the availability of ample amounts of nondebatable honest research.

    I agree with this one, but with a serious caveat. If one doesn't vaccinate at all, total AH move. If one selectively vaccinates, the area goes gray. That said, most of the time when people talk about those who don't vaccinate, or anti-vaxxers, they are talking about the first crowd. Sometimes though, people don't differentiate and we all get thrown into the bunch together. We vaccinate, EXCEPT those which we cannot (and breaking up multi-shots). We do this for very specific medical reasons, but god forbid I ever mention one of my kids hasn't had a certain vaccine....good grief people go OFF. I've had to explain more times than I care to count. There are a lot of people like us who can't even mention not getting a certain vaccine, because the unholy rage shall be thrust upon them if they dare. So, please, make the distinction when discussing it, lol. We all aren't morons, I promise!!

    I had a habit of 'spoiling' our cat, who is now 5 years old, with cat treats and other bad cat treats that contain bad additives. Until my wife pointed out to me that I was not doing it to spoil the cat, but because I found satisfaction in giving it to her. Our cat was also getting too fat, but I didn't see that. I finally saw that myself, and now she only gets what she really needs, and nothing more. Her weight is also healthy now. I could kick myself.

Then i started her on dry, and she seems to go off of it in a few days. I know if i stop givibg her treats, she will est her food, but right now we are locjed into a battle if wills and she is winning.

    So, I would like to chime in on this and specify this should be aimed at people who actively cause their pets to be obese thinking it “cute”. My cat got fat fairly rapidly, on a vet-prescribed diet even, and we have had a lot of trouble getting his weight down. We even went so far as to change vets, and debated water therapy. We learned: our cat responds badly to even low carbs, you can’t trust the labels on pet food, and the cat has food fear issues. We’ve had to segregate his from our other cat, as part of his issues was sneaking in to the other room to inhale the other cat’s food, and run back to his own bowl. It took him less than 2 minutes to get across the house, eat at least 1/2 the other cat’s food, and run back to his own bowl. He gained 2lbs in 8 days due to food theft while we were on vacay. After years of fighting his weight, we do finally have him within 2-3lbs of his preferred, hopefully the rest in roughly a year. We never thought it cute. Our other cat is normal weight.

    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'm sorry about Fry. I also adopted a cat that was declawed by their previous owners. She's so sweet and lovable. She still tries to scratch things. Scratching up things is a big part of being a cat. She just wants destroy everything I own and she can't. It makes me so sad. That being said, I do love her soft beans!

    100% agree about butchering the ears and tail, but there are legitemate reasons to remove the dewclaw. I personally just trim my dogs dewclaws the same as with the other, but when the dewclaw cathes on something it can rip the entire toe out and cause awful infections. In my experience they are also prone to cracking when the dog runs around or moves in rocky or uneven ground. Removing ears and tails from a healthy dog however is just abuse, there are NO good reasons to put your poor dog through that.

    Thankfully many vets are beginning to refuse to do this. I do remember reading that this is illegal in many European countries. I remember hearing that some vets went to different state legislatures to try and make it illegal in various states. This was a while ago when I watched a documentary on Netflix about big circus cats that were declawed and were starving themselves because it was so painful to walk on their paws. A vet actually created a prosthetic for them that allowed them to walk and eat again. The name of the documentary was The Paw Project. https://pawproject.org

    Oh yes, this is cruel. Also people who clip their birds. If you don't want scratched furniture, don't get a cat, if you don't have enough room to allow your pet bird to fly, don't get a bird.

    I ended up getting a bird that was clipped, but I never clipped her after the pet shop sold her to me. I think with the exception of neutering, animals should be the way they are unless the vet recommends otherwise.

    I hadn't known that declawing a cat meant chopping off knuckles. My last cat was Miles, slightly over twenty years ago. I found out too late for him, but I've never declawed once since I learned what they actually do. Bouche and Audi accidentally scratch me, deliberately scratch every piece of furniture but their tree, and even occasionally accidentally scratch their tree. I wouldn't have it any other way.

    What reason would there be for this? If the dog is walked enough, they don't need a trim. We only had to cut one of our dog's nails, when she was old and couldn't walk far any more

    I think its even worse if the person is pretending to be supportive or interested but is really trying to undermine you. The type of Negative Nancy who gets jealous of other people's achievements. If you create something you're proud of, like artwork "I'm sure you'll get better with practice" Constant negativity is so exhausting to deal with. It might not be a picture/artwork/whatever to your personal taste, but its not difficult to say "You've put a lot of hard work into that" or "that shows a lot of skill/creativity" If you can't bring yourself to compliment the piece, you can compliment the effort it took to create it.

    I was raised to be that way. I was one of those horrible people because I was "trained" to do that. I've come to see the err of my ways and change my way of thinking and behaving. It's painful to look back and see the things I've done, the people that I've hurt, including my kids. It's said that hurt people hurt people and it's true. My father had a painful past and was taught not to feel and to take what he wanted, hurting my mother. My mother also had a painful childhood being a refugee, having to leave Poland during WW2. She has issues with self-esteem and tears down others so that she feels better about her life. that's where I learned to do the same. It has taken time,, reflection and being honest with myself.. i hated being belittled and finally realized why I did what i did. I have to catch myself when I start to go down that road. I'm almost 63 and still learning. Try and understand the person that's being cruel. It could just be a very hurt person that doesn't know better.

    Lol I was in Bass Pro with my family last weekend because my youngest just wanted to look at ATVs for the fun of it. We moved recently to a smaller city and the ATVs are a novelty to him. I've noticed a lot more standing in the way and less use of the rules of the road in this area. That day at Bass Pro was a banner of an example. 2 people who knew each other stopped in the aisle. Each was on the opposite side with their carts pointed towards the center, and the center was blocked by a display. It's a busy shopping day so the racks of clothing to the right and displays of yetis on the left are full of people so there's basically no way to go around. My family is standing there searching for a way but there's nothing so I just go "Excuse us" loud enough to be heard over their conversation. They both deada$s stare at me & huff. At that point I just squeezed myself in between the one closest to me and the display, pushing her cart away enough for my family to get through. Those ladies had some choice words as we walked away. Oh well

    or when they literally just scream and swear at their kids to "sit down and shut up" etc. It doesn't work, you're a terrible parent.

    Especially in restaurants. Just because parents don't want to be bothered with THEIR responsibility of looking after the children. BTW: WHY are small children in a restaurant at all ? It's not a kindergarten or playground. I didn't get taken to a restaurant by my parents until I was about 16, and it was a special privilege.

    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.

    equally bragging about reading specific kinds of books or putting people down for reading certain kinds of books. i adore childrens books. i spent years reading books from almost every genre (i only say this because someone online called me a childish idiot who obviously could only read kids books because i was stupid and incapable of understanding more mature books). but now i mainly read childrens books. the stories are incredible and i tend to find the stories more exciting and less pretictable than a lot of the other genre. but i also hate people who are like 'if you aren't reading all the classics then you aren't a real reader'

    Some jerk that lived up the street from me used to walk his dog down to my side yard several times a day and he never, ever cleaned up. I kept trying to catch him to ask him to clean up. One day I finally did and told him he either cleaned it up immediately or I was reporting him to the city and he would be fined. I also threatened to take all the dog poop and dump it outside his front door. He came back within 30 minutes with a bucket and a pooper scooper, cleaned everything up (I stood outside and watched him) and then never brought his dog back again. Some people are just horribly rude

    WonderWoman points out those true knuckleheads who take the time to pick up the poop but don't take the bag home to dispose of it properly. I lived in a small gated community, around 50 homes and upon seeing the same yellow poop bag in roughly the same spot daily (I picked up the left bags and disposed of them myself) decided to write on a large piece of cardboard with a bright red marker telling the neighbor who was doing this that surely they did have the strength to carry their full doggie bag home and put it in their garbage can. And I left my notice propped up using their yellow poop bag. Never saw any more of those yellow poop bags randomly left again in my small community, and the cardboatd sign was taken away as well.

    Don't know why we let it be legal for a stereo system to go over a certain volume people are hurting themselves. We don't let people drive without a seatbelt cause it MIGHT hurt them. Driving with you car over 80 decibels WILL make you go deaf over time and at 120 decibels you are actually doing immediate damage to your body. Turn that s**t the f**k down you can't hear any kind of music anyway it's just loud noise.

    If I die in a horse-riding accident it would be bloody unlucky (I don't do high-risk riding like cross-country or jumping) and I always wear a custom-fit body protector as well as my riding hat, so my ribcage/internal organs are protected as well as my head. Having said that, accidents do happen and it is a risk, always. In which case I'd be content with having died doing something I loved and that brought me so much joy.

    As for caving - it is like a kid's ball-pit for adults! Every cave is different. And most caves are different coming out, than they were in going in. A true caver will have the best equipment - shoes, lights, ropes, etc - to prevent accidents. They will have extra batteries, lights, food, water, a means to keep dry and warm, etc. You could tow a semi-truck with the rope, carabiners, etc that I use. And they will have other equally prepared cavers with them. I have been in caves that have rooms larger than the local shopping mall. I have been in caves with waterfalls and rivers running thru them. And when I come across a situation I'm not equipped for, either equipment or ability, I turn around. It isn't about "thrill-seeking". I have discovered a world around me I never knew. I have gently placed fallen bats back onto the wall, preventing their death from freezing. I have seen animals that are blind, translucent, that have adapted to cave life. And I made life-long friends

    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.

    I wouldn't say this is bad unless the outgoing person tries to change them. My kid has autism and without her outgoing adopter she'd be pretty much on her own at school. She's now valued in her small friend group for who she is but without the adopters' intervention she'd be left out.

    I had—-note the past tense—-a sister in law who was like that. No one else could be thinner, fatter, happier, sadder, in more pain or not in pain, richer, poorer, whatthefuckever than she was. Didn’t take long for our side of the family to just stop talking to her about anything important to us. She was a horrible miserable nasty b***h. She was also cheating on my brother with a neighbor she thought was wealthy. She tried to blame my brother for it, even though she was the one who had been making him miserable for years. Then she cleaned out the bank account—-not taking half, taking it all—-before my brother could get the account changed to his name, as well as maxing out all the joint credit cards. My brother divorced her, and her paramour’s wife divorced him. They then got married, but the joke was on her, and double. First, he wasn’t the wealthy one, his ex-wife was the one who was loaded. He had absolutely zip except his salary—-and he was a s****y lawyer making s****y money. Second, a week before their wedding, she had the gall to call my brother in tears to ask his advice, because she had just found out the guy she cheated on my brother with was cheating on HER just days before they were supposed to get married! My brother, who was finally no longer a blind fool where she was concerned, just told her she made her bed (pun intended) and had to lie in it. He told her it was no longer any concern of his, and that it was up to her to decide what to do. Then he said goodbye and hung up. The cheating b***h married her cheating a*****e lawyer. Just desserts to be cheated on and be cheated out of what she thought was a chance to “marry up” a b***h socially. I do love karma.

    Suffering from the same thing doesn't mean it's similar to both, BUT no one can judge that from the outside because no one knows how the other person felt in direct comparison. Pain isn't measurable. And just because something looks worse, that doesn't mean the other thing isn't bad too. So I fully agree with this.

But, we also wouldn't be mad if someone came over and asked us to quiet down if we were too loud. We certainly don't brag about being loud, we're very aware and try not to get carried away unless we're at home.

    I don't want to get into an argument about abortion, because I doubt that it would change anyone's mind, and I've gone back and forth on the issue myself in the last 40 years or so. However, after having met a number of women who've had one or more abortions, I am convinced that it harms everyone it touches. I will agree with you that people, especially politicians, who oppose it need to be more compassionate. I don't believe criminalizing it is the answer.

    I care about all lives, but with that said who am I to tell any woman that they have to have a child and not a choice. I want those who scream the most about killing babies know more about what children may have to go through after their births. I want our politicians to step up and help create a quality and functioning adoption system where children get into loving homes regardless of where or how they got here. I want any potential parent to be given proper education and choices way before bringing a potential unloved child into our world and not stopped from their ultimate doctor/patient decisions. I realize this article is more directed to parents trying to figure out their own family issues, but this is where our temporary holders of our state or federal offices (politicians and judges) need to see the true big picture. All parents and potential parents need a bit of understanding and love in this dark maze of concerns.

    Here in the UK, in towns and cities pedestrians generally have priority over vehicles. Drivers must give way to pedestrians waiting to use Zebra crossings, which are crossings not controlled by lights. If a driver is turning into a side turning they must wait for any pedestrians to cross the side turning and if a pedestrian is crossing the road and is not on a crossing, then drivers must give way to them if they have already stepped into the road, no swerving around them.

    Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, people hit while in the marked crosswalks has been increasing year after year. And unfortunately, a hugh percentage of these accidents have the driver driving away from the scene. Many of these crosswalk incidents are not with a single pedestrian but involve a mom with child/children being hit. Please keep your eyes open and prepare for any pedestrian in a crosswalk or an idiot simply cutting across the roadway without their looking. And if the worst were to happen, don't be a douche bag and leave the scene.

    Uhm no. it is your job as a pedestrian to cross when it's safe. I'm just supposed to slam on my brakes and cause an accident because you decided to just step into the road whenever you felt like it? No it doesn't work that way, it's called right of way, and whoever has it gets to LEGALLY go. Pedestrians don't get carte blanche to just walk whenever they feel like it.

    It says at crosswalks, designated crossing places for pedestrians. I'm not sure where you're from? But in most countries pedestrians LEGALLY have the right of way at crossings. And if you need to "slam on your brakes" it's you that's going too fast for the surroundings, not them.

    Also not washing long enough. One of the managers at my job is one of those always on the go, work is life people. I'm a bit socially awkward so when I'm in the bathroom and someone else enters I just stay in the stall until they leave so I don't have to interact with them. Anyway you work with a small group of people long enough and you know who is in the stall next to you by their shoes. So her shoes pass my stall, she does her business, and goes to wash her hands. Less than 5 seconds. I can hear the water turn on, the soap dispenser goes, a quick swish swish, and she's out the door. Sooooo gross. I'm glad I work in a different area and don't touch anything she touches!

    I haven't had a Joho show up on my porch for years. You can usually spot them at a distance by how they're dressed, and a bible and literature in their hand. When they used to show up I'd ask if they were jehovah's witnesses and when they said yes I'd tel them I had no interest in talking to them. I'm guessing it's a message they've shared and are still taking to heart.

    Several years ago some JWs were going through my neighborhood. Fortunately, I had some advance warning, so I scooped up my cat Ragamuffin and waited. When they came, I listened to their spiel, then said, "Thank you, but I am a practicing witch, and" - indicating Ragamuffin - "this is my familiar." They left skid marks.

    I have a specific t shirt of lesbian nuns I like to wear when the Jehova's witnesses come around. I'm always polite when I answer the door (if I bother) but realistically I want to scream at them for trying to shove their religion down my throat. If you believe in that and are happy, great. But don't force it on others. Or tell me I need to find faith just because my own faith is the wrong one in your eyes. Or use your faith for bigotry.

    As someone who works to end homelessness, I see this every day. People who have experienced a "housing deficit" in their lives and are now housed are super quick to judge the ones who are experiencing their own version. I cannot tell you how many people will sit there and say, "Well, I got out of my situation, why can't you?". Well, I'll tell you why. There's a HUGE lack of affordable housing opportunities and the cost of living goes up but the pay doesn't. The vast majority of the homeless in my area are senior citizens who are on SSI/SSDI and to rent a studio in my area is about 1200.00. Maybe I don't have a math degree but can someone tell me how an elderly person is going to end their homelessness on 914.00 a month to live on?

    It's okay to feel compassion and simultaneously realize a person is crossing your boundaries. People don't attract selfishness, selfish people are attracted to anyone that feeds thier need for attention. The difference is how long and how close we allow them to be in our lives. It is okay to recognize someone's mental health issue and act with compassion while seeing your own boundaries as non-negotiable and pulling back. Compassion doesn't require action, only understanding. Losing yourself to help someone creates 2 unstable people not one person with improved mental health and a happy partner or friend.

    All of us probably are. However, there are only so many causes one can support at once. One thing we can all do, though - depending on where one lives - is VOTE! But don't just vote for anybody - do your homework and learn about the candidates and the issues. Casting an uninformed ballot can be worse than not voting at all.

    That's also unnecessarily judgemental as a blanket statement since too often they can't do anything about it and need to vent to be able to endure it. People who constantly tell you you need to 'do something' are usually the people who have never been in your shoes and don't know how it feels.
