“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).
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.
Load More Replies...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)
Load More Replies...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.
Ugh, I'm so sorry. You must have been both heartbroken and enraged. I hope you didn't get into an assload of trouble for doing the right thing.
Load More Replies...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.
More places need to pick that up. I think the main reason they don't is because some shelters are so packed that they're desperate to get animals into homes
Load More Replies...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.

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.
Selfish and uncivilized people exist. Others have no obligation, technically, to clean up after them (literally), but we all live on the same beautiful planet and there should be solutions to everything. And fast.

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 ☹️
Add to that the fact the most of their children—-the ones who manage to survive their childhoods with their deranged parents—-absolutely run to a clinic to get fully vaccinated the millisecond they turn 18 and their parents can no longer do anything about it.

Load More Replies...I vaccinated for Covid - not so much for me - but for those who can't - same reason I wear a mask.
When the vaccine came out, my grandparents refused to get it and so I couldn’t see them except from far away with masks. They literally picked being antivax over seeing their grandchild and I don’t know how I feel about that
Hmm. This bridge over the shark-infested strait is only 99.7% safe. So they say, "Naah, I think I'll swim!"
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.
Wait until they hear about the fatal toxicity of dihydrogen monoxide!
Load More Replies...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 don't know if that counts, I definitely make a difference between medical reasons and stupid a*s ignorance. Stay safe.
Load More Replies...And then send them out socializing with other kids, even when they r sick
First people need to get educated about communicable disease. Take a look at babies, children and adults with Smallpox before there was a vaccine. Don’t play Russian Roulette with your health.
Mistreating folks in the customer service industry.

I wouldn't spend five minutes with someone who mistreats waitstaff or customer service representatives.
People with enormously obese pets that can barely walk. It’s not cute, they are not a “chonker,” you just kind of suck.
But when a cat starts losing weight, it's usually a symptom of a very advanced disease with a terminal outcome.
Load More Replies...Yep, same shït different pile here. Obesity is not a simple problem though, and some people/animals truly can’t help it in the short-term. Adults have a lot of responsibility to their kids/pets
Load More Replies...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.
I started giving my cat treats when i first got her. I tried every kind of cat food, she wasnt eating. Turns out she doesnt like canned food. 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. TLDR: how do you ignore their pathetic, manipulative cries for treats ?
Load More Replies...I know you mean people who actively allow and even encourage their pets to be fat, but on the flip side, people who adopt fat pets and work with them to become happy and healthy are wonderful
I adopted a very obese dachshund-german shepherd mix years ago, I used to be super morbidly obese myself at this point, I was always scared people would think it was me who had overfed the dog so much. We both lost weight.
That’s so cute having a little buddy to both reach a goal with 😝
Load More Replies...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.
Sounds a lot like my cat. Solution ended up being an automatic feeder for him and a cat flap with a lock for my other cat so she could have food out 24/7.
Load More Replies...Yeah, and the whole "their so cute, I just can't resist!" doesn't really fly. That's what hugs and scritches r for!
But this doesn't apply when people have obese children and anyone who is concerned is fat shaming....🤷🏾♀️
My grandson is overweight and his older sister is underweight. They eat the same things. So maybe metabolism is a cause?? All these judgemental b@st@rds need to learn about biology, metabolism, etc., the ignorance is astounding in this thread.

When they shove their religion in other peoples’ faces
When POLITICIANS shove their religion onto the populace. Religion and politics should never be mixed.
Having religion is like having a penis. It's fine to have one, it's fine to be proud of it, but don't wave it about in public and definitely don't try shoving down children's throats!
They’re usually the ones insisting that “gay people are shoving their lifestyles down our throats!!” Like are gay people going door-to-door or something?! Nah smdh the modern world is exhausting

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'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!
Load More Replies...…and people who cut off ears, tails, and dew claws of their dogs. Definitely going to hell.
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.
Load More Replies...When they do this it actually cuts off the human equivalent of the first nuckle. Don’t do this to your cat!
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
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...Yeah, we declawed one due to seizures. He was a danger to himself, and anyone trying to help him.
Load More Replies...That Is illegal here, as well as cutting ears, tails or any other s**t.
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.
My niece recently told me about someone that declawed their pit bull. I didn’t even think that was a thing. Just have their nails cared for, it’s not that difficult.
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 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.
Jealousy is THE most destructive emotion. Somehow, bringing others down from their happy time gives the jealous ones a lift because they can't compete in a happy way.
Misery loves company, nd when it can’t find any, it does its damnedest to try a create some by making others—-who aren’t miserable SOBs—-feel bad about themselves.
Load More Replies...That's really sad, Lakota. I hope you can leave the negative voices behind, but I understand they seep into your brain.
Load More Replies...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 know someone like that. An accomplished artist who always told me what i was doing wrong, but not constructively. Think: the colors in that painting are all wrong, instead of explaining how colors relate to each other and how to properly co ordinate or contrast.
Load More Replies...I had this when I was a skimpy (bikini barmaid) and I was going to transition to mermaiding etc, the amount of hate and mean comments was insane. But when I retired from thag, and transitioned, I had full paid mermaid work within 3 months of starting out, so always follow your dream and fùçk the haters.
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.
These people have a low self esteem and feel like they get validation from humiliating others. I pity them.
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.

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.
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!
No it's not OK even for kids. Get them headphones and respect other people.
It's not "one thing for kids" - there are headphones. Fúcking educate your kids to be civilized and thoughtful about their surroundings, or they'll grow up to be ássholes who "own the world". Sparing kids from EVERYTHING is the wrong approach and exactly what brought us here.
no, its not "one thing for kids" its lazy parenting and said parents should be doing better to keep their kids entertained and engaged.
I love Vietnam SO, SO, SO much but the average citizen there doesn't know that headphones exist. 😖
I hate me the Businessman TM who is selling millions to China and wants everyone around to know.
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!
Rows of people occupying the whole width. It's okay folks. Keep chatting while you block the entire sidewalk.
I've been noticing an increase in people just stopping and talking in front of entrances ans exits. Like tf is wrong with you? Move!
Two people on opposite sides of the supermarket aisle (don’t even know each other, they’ve just stopped their trolleys/carts across from each other) and they’re oblivious to anyone else who might want to get through them. I know I can ask them to let me through but I shouldn’t have to.
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
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
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.
the amount of people who think that no discipline is fine is actually crazy.
Sometimes u have to ignore them to a point. But ones that allow them to just keep going and going and going ARE an issue! But people that instantly try and bribe their kids into behaving is more annoying to me
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.
What’s even worse than when parents ignore it is when they have a look on their face like, “Isn’t my kid cute.”
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.
I love reading 😁 but I would never ever shame someone over it it doesn't do anything just turns theme off reading 😕
Sometimes when you're really stupid you don't know you're stupid, so sometimes you tell people about your stupidity.
I don't think I've ever encountered this. What a weird thing to brag about
if people are bragging about NOT reading books, then they're simply bragging about being an absolute idiot.
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'
I tried reading a bunch of "classics" and only about half held any value. I won't try reading them all for bragging rights: I want my brain to be useful, not stuffed. The Bible is very worthwhile.

Not cleaning up after their dog. Just get a doggy bag ppl

Load More Replies...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
It's not hard to carry doggy bags, I always have some attached to each leash and an extra roll in the car.
Same. I have two dogs. I have poop bag holders attached to each harness. I have rolls of poop bags in my purse. I have a roll I transfer from pocket to pocket in whatever pants/shorts I'm wearing that day XD
Load More Replies...AND those that do have the bag, clean it up, but just LEAVE the bag there!!
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.

If it were a sport, I'd be a champion! I could never pick up after a dog, as it makes me physically sick, that's why I don't get a dog.
God, if you refuse to bag it and take it with you at least just leave it natural. Animals will eventually eat it, but plastic is forever.
there's someone with a massive dog (not sure who it is, but i know the dog is massive because the poops are massive) who never picks up after their dog! it's so gross. dont get a dog if you aren't willing to pick up after it.
People pressuring other people to do something after the other people have already said no

I’m also LITERALLY not allowed to date because I’m not in yr 9 yet. I also get teased about him by everyone even my best friends so it has caused some arguments
My general routine is to ask if someone wants to do something. If they say no, I say "ok, but if you change your mind the offer stands." Then leave it at that.
omg a girl i know is like this. it gets on my last nerve. she’ll push me to do something even though i said no, then make me feel bad bc i said no. i would never push her to do something she doesn’t want.
Especially at this time of year. I do not celebrate annual events. Don't tell me I have to go to a party.
I have done this many times without realising until after the fact, I am going to try not to do this anymore :)
Omg this! My friend was having a party, and the drive was pretty far from me, so I didn't want to have more than 1 or 2 drinks for the whole night (like an 8 hour span). There was a girl there who kept trying to pressure me into taking shots and eating edibles. I politely said no 5 times before I finally told her to "f off and leave me alone"
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.
Or, people that modify their motorcycles so they are super loud. You are all going to be deaf.
Also, people who play their blooming car stereos so loud you can hear them in the next county over. Let's hear it for noise ordnances! (No pun intended)
I have noticed your expensive loud car, the entire street has noticed your expensive loud car, and nobody thinks you're cool. We all think you're a jerk. Especially when you circle the block repeatedly.
I once saw a guy circle the block 15 times like that. It was extra weird because this was the university in the evening in summer on Tuesday and it was a ghost town. So there weren't many people he could "impress". I was hanging out with a friend outside.

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.
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.
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.
I don't think horse riding falls into this category though. I think more of people who are climbing everest and stuff
Load More Replies...Don't feel bad for these people. They died doing what they loved, they took the risk they knew the consequences. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Don't feel bad for them they died happy.
I don’t feel bad for them. I am angry at them. I’m angry at their selfishness with not consideration for the impact their actions have on other people. Their families, the emergency services that rescue them/recover their bodies, the traumatised innocent bystanders, the MONEY spent on rescue and recovery.
Load More Replies...I don't feel the need to grow some sympathy. They 'play-the-game' knowing the risk and accepting the risk. So they accepted the chance of failure. Don't come crying if you lost.
I feel the same way about people who denied that Covid is real and refused to get vaccinated. And then showed up at the hospital begging for help because they couldn't breathe. Sorry, you gave up that privilege when you said Covid was only a cold. Go take some cold meds and eat some soup - doctors clearly have no idea what they're talking about!

Many of my patients with addiction use bc they're bored. They need the dopamine hit. When this happens we screen for medical causes like ADHD. But we also try to find others ways to get dopamine. I'd rather have them sky diving than using.
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
I consider these deaths to be poetic. They died doing what they loved. We should all be so lucky!
Yeah, so tell that to my family and friends who keep trying to do interventions on me. I'm doing what I love.

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.
Lets define smoking... tobacco? weed? because some of you who b***h about smoking tobacco are avid pot users

When someone outgoing “adopts” a shy person. “I'm gonna make you more talkative!!” Stfu, and mind your own business, you weirdo.
I had a friend like this. She was an extrovert and I'm an introvert. She used to get mad at me when I didn't want to go out and on more than one occasion called me anti-social. Fun times.
Hold on... Not an absolute . Sometimes a shy person needs a extrovert "wingperson" to socially survive. I have seen many couples happy like this
If the shy person is the one to solicit assistance from their more extroverted friend. But when someone just takes it upon themselves to constantly try to thrust you outside of your comfort zone, then yes, it is an absolute.
Load More Replies...As an adopted introvert, this can sometimes work out! I was practically mute when i first started high school, but with help from my friends, I can talk to people without anyone else around and hold a conversation pretty well if I do say so myself.
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.
ive been friends with this person for a few years and they barely talk at all. recently they've been saying hi to me a little more and i can hear them instead of only seeing them mouth the words and its nice
I have a very outgoing friend, and we joke about it sometimes, but she doesn't tease me. The way I view it, it's a joke. But when people start taking it seriously, or in a rude, non joking way, that's where I draw the line. They turned something fun into a form of bullying. I can't stand it.
I like being friends with an extrovert, it’s nice to be able to have someone who understands and will talk to me, but doesn’t require me to talk back.

Just because you have suffered more (this might be 100% true) than someone, it does not invalidate how they’re suffering too.
Same with tiredness. If somebody claims to be tired and a (new) parents chimes in " You don´t even know what real tiredness is 🤓" Just STFU. Nobody asked to make this into a competition.

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.
Could this be : too long...too personal...slight relationship to the topic?
Load More Replies...This one is tough. I have a tendency to share my own stories, not to try and compete or to tell you I have had it worse, but to show you that I understand. That I'm not just giving you empty words, I really do know how you feel and I want to support you as best I can.
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.
Being extremely loud in public place or restaurants and bragging
The one time I visited France, I really liked the restaurants because they were so quiet, people being polite and just conversing quietly among themselves.
People who don't tip and try to say they r "standing up for the servers". Nope! U being cheap. If u TRULY wanted to send a message to the restaurant owners, u would stop going. All u r doing by not tipping, is screwing the servers
My family is big and we can get loud but when we're out in public we do really try to be within a reasonable volume. 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.
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.
A few of my former co-workers were "fix-it" children. Their parents thought a baby would bring them closer together, but the opposite happened. Some of them grew up in blended households - if memory serves, in one case their step-siblings were fix-it babies, too.
Load More Replies...Or .... Having a group of old white men called politicians that tell you you have to have a child when you don't want to. Christian right conservative motto.." save the fetus, forget the child"...
People who have 9 kids and are struggling to even feed them and keep having more because they are "God's Gifts" (especially if they have access to contraconception). No, God does not want you to have kids and end up have them asking for money in the streets. For God's sake, we are almost 8 billion people in the world, just take a break.
What kind of God would send more babies to a household that already has more mouths to feed than it can reasonably care for, while denying babies to couples who really want kids and would make splendid parents?
Load More Replies...Or having multiple kids when they are not looking after the ones they have already.
Yes!! This! And like those who can barely afford/ or aren’t properly parenting the kids they have, and then they get pregnant… again. Bonus points if they don’t have custody of current children, so they just make more.
Yep know a few, they're after the extra benefit cheques. One is awesome at baby making, just not the whole look after, support, teaching discipline. Baby #4 due soon. She post constantly about it all.
It's messed up how you can choose not to raise kids because you consider yourself to poor to do it properly but then the government takes one third of your pay and gives it to welfare moms.
Load More Replies...Mostly agree but there's a lot of indoctrination from a young age, and often there's outright pressure when they're older, so for a lot of people they're not really deciding to have kids even when they they have them on purpose.
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.
Drivers who don't stop at crosswalks for pedestrians.
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.
Load More Replies...Pedestrians who think they can just step into a crosswalk and not wait for a gap. The crosswalk is NOT a shield.
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.
I always double-check before crossing the street even if I have the Walk signal.
This! There's no thrill like being in a crosswalk, and the driver is yakking away on their phone. Or, my favorite (?!) one: the first driver stops, but the driver behind them whips around and tries to pass.
ok...not EVERY crosswalk on earth give you the right of way. Really sick of this. Also, 99% of the time, it would be faster for me to drive by than suddenly stopping and waiting. Plus! What on earth makes you so important that you have to stop an entire line of cars and people just so you can hippity hop across the street? Find a stop sign. (of couse this is all assuming the person crossing is able-bodied)
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.

you know that education and position in the company have nothing to do with basic principals of hygiene.... across my office there is a huge law firm... enough said...
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 understand the point but I never make a habit of listening at the bathroom door while someone else is in there.
Covid will be with us always in part because 60% of people don't wash their hands.
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
Used to get religious solicitors leaving flyers on my door all the time, so I made a sign that said, "Jesus doesn't live here, please don't leave his mail." Never got another one!
Mormons, JWs, SDAs , etc. Nobody wants some religious person ringing your doorbell on Sunday morning to tell you about Jeebus
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 don't think that's usually a planned sequence of events. Stiff happens.

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?
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.

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.
Hostility, or the threat thereof, is an undisciplined person's control move. "I can act like a spoiled loser and get my way." Stand up to it; they usually back down. If not, call the cops.
Some people are morons and only know aggression to get what they want. Others have anger management issues and need to be educated. Attending Buddhist meditation sessions and teachings is an excellent way of becoming enlightened.

People who complain about a situation and do nothing about it.
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.
