There are all kinds of people in the world who can get under our skin. Slow walkers, for example. Folks who don’t understand the concept of wearing headphones on public transport. Travelers who clap when the plane lands. The list goes on.
But as annoyed as we get, we don’t always show it. Most of the time, we bite our tongue and keep the judgment to ourselves—at least in person.
On TikTok, though, one woman invited people to confess the things they silently judge others for but would never admit out loud. Here are some of the best replies.

People that have no situational awareness- stopping in the middle of an aisle, blocking other people’s paths, etc
People who think their kid’s destructive/ violent behavior towards small animals is cute.
When people are rude at restaurants to the server
I work in service. Have done for 30 years. I love it and see it is as a vocation. But the moment a customer makes me feel like I'm below them and a servant, I switch off. I serve to host you. I serve to enhance your experience. I don't serve bc you think you're above me. I treat every guest as if they are welcome in my home and I am the host. If you try and pull some wanky hierarchy over me, I'm done.
Not saying please or thank you 😩 ugh this one bothers me bad
Kindness, empathy and respect are free people! One of the last things left on this planet that we are in control off and costs us nothing. Be kind. Be curious. Be gracious and humble. All freeeeeeeeee
People who own a dog but have zero understanding of a dog's behavior, needs, and problems.
Please don't hate, but I believe anyone who has a small child should not have a pit bull. That breed alone cause over 60% of dog related fatalities. No one seems to know what makes them suddenly 'turn.'
People who post ALL they business on social media, I mean literally everything.
I'm not on SM other than BP and Reddit. I got off everything mainly for this reason.
People who blame everyone but themselves for their problems
It's annoying but they become a victim for a reason. None usually good
Parents that make instagram pages for their toddlers.
During COVID I watched a man pull down his mask to sneeze. He did not cover his mouth.
People that cant be ALONE. Finding peace within yourself is a powerful thing.
People who show up late to literally everything. So done with it.
I wait 15 minutes and no more, with mobile phones and texting there is no excuse now.
Normal people who have unnecessarily elaborate weddings and make it their whole life - probably going into debt for it. Bonus points if they have a content creator for the day and like 800 followers.
people leaving shopping carts in random parking areas instead of putting them back where they go outside.
Which countries make you pay a "deposit" - just some change - for a trolly, and get their change back once you return the trolly? America needs this BAD.
People chewing with their mouth open
People who walk side by side on a sidewalk and will not move for other people
People who have no comprehension of personal space in public.
people sitting next to or near me when there were plenty of untaken seats that were a nice distance away from mine
I swear to god man, if I am sitting alone then maybe don’t choose to sit right next to me if there are a thousand other seats. I am alone for a reason
People who don’t hold the door for others and those who don’t say thank you when someone holds the door for them
Ooh this annoys me. My child held the door for a family, about 7 people walked through and not one of them said thank you. Then as the last person walked through the door, he grabbed the door as if to hold it for us and deliberately let go of the door so it slammed in our faces. They smirked and congratulated themselves afterwards. These people were aged between 20 and 70 years old
Parents who let screens raise their children
I'm glad the OP put the blame on the parents and not the kids. It's always the parents who don't even like their kids and can't be bothered to raise them and then solve it by keeping the child tablet-a******d all the time.
People who pull out their phone for every concert/wedding/event they go to, instead of actually experiencing something through their own eyes.
I never even touch my phone at concerts because I know that if I want to look there will be dozens of videos on You Tube within minutes.
People who only talk about themselves and their problems but when you start talking about yours they immediately loose interest
Ppl who drive slow in the fast lane & WILL not move over - even if multiple cars have passed them
There is no "fast lane", it's a "passing lane". You cruise on the right, approach the car in front of you, look over your shoulder for cars on the left coming up, and if there are none you use the turn signal and pull over. Then you pass the car and *go back to the right*. You don't have to squeeze yourself into every cranny big enough for your car, but the left lane is NOT for you to make miles on. Also: the right lane is NOT a passing lane. Actively passing on the right is actually illegal where I live.
People who say money doesn’t buy happiness
Apparently Elon Musk just made a tweet whining that money doesn't buy happiness. I am at a loss for words. "In a post on X, Musk wrote: “Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ really knew what they were talking about.”" Edit: I forgot to add "Fuck that guy."
Blaming everything bad or negative about themselves on their zodiac sign.
People who post EVERYTHING on social media to prove how “happy” they are
Ppl who rush to get into the elevator without letting the other ppl out
People who stay in relationships or marriages for their kids
It’s much more damaging to the kids having to live in a family where the parents actively hate each other and project onto the kids or gossip about the other parent to the kids
People who aren’t figure-outers. Stop asking me questions you can Google.
I'm Gen X. Stop asking questions you haven't referenced via an encyclopaedia and a thesaurus. Critically think and question every side before coming to a conclusion
people who don’t know how to stay single.
Something I was guilty of for too long. I'm better now, but then no-one's interested any more so it's quite easy.
people who speak loudly when receiving calls especially in public
I sometimes forget I talk more loudly when I can't hear. Yeah, I should use an earbud.
When they don't know the difference between your, you're, their there and they're
It's frustrating, but when you make an identity out of nitpicking other people for it, you become just as tiresome.
Not saying please or thank you for anything.
Includes one's spouse (sorry, Hun)….there’s no excuse for not saying thank you.
Parents who tolerates their second child’s bad behavior while on the other hand, the oldest gets beaten up or disciplined in a hard or bad way just because of the tone of your voice.
I remind my parents all the time when my brother acts out that I was beaten for far less. It’s not fair that he gets a pass when he behaves violently at home while I got beaten at that age for getting beaten at school or not remembering my times tables
People who publicly degrade their spouse in a joking manner. Don’t care if it’s a joke. I know that’s a real convo happening behind closed doors.
Agreed, there's a difference between degredation and banter
Moms who don’t wipe their kids noses when they are dripping snot.
People who post any AI-generated photos
People who take a newborn to Disneyland or tbh anywhere too public
Probably not a reason to go to Disneyland, however the shopping won't do itself and if you stay at home alone with a newborn the whole time you would probably get crazy.
Going to Florida, Texas, or South Carolina with their limited vaccinations and measles outbreaks is pretty bad for all children at this point, not to mention newborns.
"anywhere too public"?! So the new parents have to be chained to the kitchen sink with the baby? I believe that babies are part of our society, just as older people, and teenagers. Each age category has its own challenges and requirements for understanding and leniency. I would no sooner say that menopausal women or teenagers should be locked away than say that babies shouldn't be out in public spaces!
It's got nothing to do with that. A newborn baby is vulnerable to illnesses as they haven't developed an immune system and haven't been vaccinated. Given the number of insane anti vaxxers roaming the streets, I personally wouldn't want to risk a newborn catching something horrible.
Load More Replies...It's movie theaters for me. Or concerts! I went to a concert where a woman had her two week old baby. I knew this because she was very proud that her baby's' first concert was at two weeks old. No ear protection (if they even make anything for kids that young?). Babies can be in public, like don't lock up the parents, but think about the kids well being. :(
Oddly enough, our library is often a baby's first "public place" they go to. I saw a four-day-old baby girl yesterday. Slept through everything, of course. Lol
Because babysitters are expensive and babies literally need to be with their parents. They are not little dolls or accessories. Just tiny humans and they are allowed to be where the parents go. Perhaps the parents are taking their older kids to Disneyland and they just managed to be able to find the time and means to go.
Parents who allow their child to disrespect them & or curse at them.
That's going to depend. Some families believe that when their child tells them they are gay or anything the parents are not, that this is "disrespecting" them. Also some parents say mean and cruel things to their children, so this doesn't get a pass. I also dislike it if the parent has a mouth like a trucker and then gets angry if they hear their child use a swearword. This is going to depend totally on context.
Hot take, but people who are religious
Being religious in itself is fine, many people just use it to be cruel though
People who bring their children to adult hangouts where alcohol is present, while also making their baby the centerpiece of their entire identity.
"Where alcohol is present": that's a tall order. Any restaurant I know serves beer and wine, and a couple of parents meeting up with friends and associated kids will generally consume it. Not everyone, and not by litres, but unless the "adult hangout" is in a bróthel this one is way over the top. I do agree about the centerpiece baby part.
People who stand still in the middle of isles or walkways
Y'all are gonna hate me... people who go out in pajamas
I personally would never but honestly I don't have it in me to care- it doesn't hurt anyone
For the love of god please just bring SOMETHING, when invited to a party or dinner! Can just be flowers from your garden, a wine to be shared or a small gesture of gratitude towards the hosts
When parents give their kids unlimited screen time
When I was a kid, the screen was a tv screen. Parents then worried about the harmful effects of too much time watching a screen. And they were right.
people who literally hate their spouse yet won't leave them
Constantly negative people. When they don’t have one nice thing to say. Puts u in a mood too
"Nothing helps a bad mood quite like spreading it around". Calvin, of Calvin and Hobbes.
people who are loud, always involved in drama, shout, curse
People who don’t want their child on social media, but still post them with a giant heart covering the face
Or like Meghan, leave my kids out of social, the public pic you took I am going to sue, but here are my personally prepared photos of them only I can post no reposts all
people who will not watch a movie or show just because its not in English and they don't want to read subtitles
I accidentally put French subtitles on Blazing Saddles. Don't really read French, but the vulgarity in elegant looking language was hysterically funny.
Couples obsessed with Harley Quinn and the Joker
Grown adults, obsessed with Harry Potter, announcing "I'm a Slytherin / Grokburger / Humperdink"
people who set up the camera and pretend to wake up or to do stuff
Lol, will never forget the guy who commented "who took that pic - bed bugs?"
Old people who judge younger people for doing things differently
Parasocial relationships are being too normalized on social media
Poor people having 8 kids.
Again, as above, some low income earners can handle this beautifully, and others not at all. For poorer people their family and extended family is their community and everyone helps out. In others, it's a disaster and can be due to no information on safe s*x, coercive control and violence.
Picky eaters like the type that won’t even try something / say they don’t like it even though they’ve never had it
I'm not generally a picky eater, but have some texture issues, so people who insist that raw fish or courgette is not slimy, or that calamari or octopus are edible, really annoy me. They may be edible to you, but no, not for me, and no, I'm not going to try it just to prove that I don't like it.
people with too much urgency like calm down the world is still spinning
Ironically, a little punctuation in that outburst would really slow it down a bit ;-)
People who’ve NEVER been single???do y’all love urself or is it because you’re afraid of being alone….
People who complain about their spouse . I DON'T GET IT
people who complain all the time about everything..
People who uses their own photo for their phone wallpaper
I use a galaxy as my desktop and tablet wallpapers and a photo of Uranus taken by JWST as my phone wallpaper. I don’t think I or any of my personal relations are interesting to use as a phone wallpaper
People with like 3 different baby dads...
people that sit together in silence on their phones and call it hanging out
I specifically hate this when these people think you’re being weird when you try to have a conversation with them and get upset when you expect more than one word answers
People who use the word “hubby”
"Hubs" and "Wifey" drive me mad. I have to clench my teeth even if I just read them LOL.
kids not dressing like kids.
People that cross the street with no urgency.
Here in India we don’t have this problem. This is because you’re not safe even on sidewalks so you have to be in a hurry if you wish to stay alive
Shoes in the house. I’ll say it out loud idc but when people who wear shoes they’ve worn out in public places and then go straight through the whole house with them on. Nahr mate
I have foot trouble that requires me to wear proper shoes at all times. I also have cats that urp on the floor sometimes. I'll take my shoes off at your house, but please have loaner slippers?
People that post about their depression a lot
Having Snapchat after a certain age.
If I wanted Snapchat I would have it - I don't give a flying ferret if you think I'm too old.
Laying on your bed with the clothes you've been out with
People bringing kids into this world intentionally right now
If they want them, have the smarts to be able to raise them, and can support them, who TF is anyone to say that they shouldn't "right now". MYOFB, do what you can do to bring about the change you want to see and don't judge other people for their choices simply because it's not what you would do.
People who wear loungewear every time they leave the house
Slow walkers when they are perfectly capable of walking at a decent pace
People who don’t shave their armpits
How about letting the armpits' owner decide on grooming procedures?
having children on purpose without a ring.
Now I am silently judging this person for being a religious asshole.
People that let their pets sleep in the bed with them
Where else are they going to sleep? Why bother having pets you aren't going to treat them like family?
I feel like people just need to chill out, most of these are harmless. Trust me, in my experience, your life will be a lot better if you work out why you're judging someone and to work out if its something actually worth judging. I barely judge anyone anymore and I'm far happier
I could add people who always try to come up with a counter-argument, even on topics that don't really need one. Also, people who scream you are being dismissive or are "persecuting" them just because you disagree with them on something or refuse to grant some ridiculous request (one of these happened very recently).
I judge people all the time - for my own entertainment as long as whatever it is does not directly affect anyone else. Many things are a matter of personal choice but behaviours of both adults and children in public spaces are different (to my mind) and worthy of jugement.
With all of the junk one sees on tiktok you would think the contributors would be a tad more open minded. Holy cow!
I expected them to be small-minded and judgmental. I was not disappointed.
Load More Replies...As a smoker of 35 years, I give them a free pass. But OMG how much did I reek back then?!?!
