I judge...

...people who decide that parking spaces are for chumps and park right in front of the store while they run in to get something.  Bonus points if their car is sitting there for more than 10 minutes.

You?

Re: I judge...

  • I judge people that wait ten minutes while blocking the entire lane for someone to unload a cart full of groceries just because they want a spot near the front.

    I judge FI (and anyone else) who watches the Jacksons' reality show on A&E.  It's shiit and should be taken off the air.  It's just terrible.

    ETA: I also judge Bravo for creating Chef Academy and Launch My Line.  Those shows are just dumb and not a lick interesting.

    P.S., I should also add my addiction to TV to Lynda's thread.
  • people who claim they are vegetarains, yet I witness them scarf down a plate of crab claws.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • I judge people who have parked in a small parking lot for months but as soon as the snow falls, they seem to forget how to park within their parking spot. I mean, you have an extra foot on each side of your car if you park properly.

  • ...people who freak out about being pulled over for airport security checks. I saw this twice. Some woman actually yelled, "Do I really look like an effing terrorist?" Guess what? The world is scary and a pain in the ass. Better safe than sorry.
  • People with "designer dogs" from puppy mills/backyard breeders with ridiculous made-up names like maltipoo and labradoodle.

    Online universities.

    The people who will flock to the gym for two weeks after the beginning of the new year and then quit.

  • I judge people who speed like dumbasses through parking lots (and those who attempt to pass on the left when I am turning left into a space. True story.) I judge people who take up more than 1 parking space.

  • My friend Steve for making this big FB post about how he's sick of looking at everyone's "horrendously ugly offspring." He also stated that he's exempt from this because his baby is cute. No Steve, YOU think your baby is cute. And now you and your ugly baby have pissed off a bunch of people.

  • I judge the lady and her family last night who brought their 4-5 year old daughter to the Lady Gaga concert. We had good seats, too, so she had to have paid over $100 for her daughter to be there. Idiot.
  • ...people who think the directions about turning off cellphones prior to takeoff don't apply to them. Ditto those who don't think they have to put their seats up.

    ...people who take their little fuckingdogs with them into stores, the library, out on errands with them. Seriously, if your dog cannot survive an hour at home without your presence, you need some serious help in the pet owner department.

    ...parents who don't teach their children to mute the goddamned video game during a flight. There's a volume button there for a reason, ass.

    I glare at them.  I have come so close to saying something, but then I remember that everyone knows everyone in my town (read:  everyone knows my boss) and I hesitantly bite my tongue.  I did blast my horn and fly by someone who not only did that, but opened her door into oncoming traffic and expected people to stop for her lazy ass.  Um, no.  I wish I had taken her door off, that would have been hilarious.

  • My daughter got tagged on the liquid restriction yesterday, Buddha. She had a bottle of Sprite in her booksack that her father had given her about a week before. She'd completely forgotten it was in there, and I didn't know about it. The security lady asked her, "Sweety, are you aware of the rules about liquids?" My daughter's eyes got really big and she said, "Oh! I forgot about the bottle of Sprite. I'm really sorry."

    Heels - last night I sat behind a parked car while my mom ran inside to pick up pizza.  In the time that I was sitting there, there was no sign of ownership.

    My dad used to be one of those entitled assholes, but has grown out of it.

  • the guest who does not want to put a llifejacket on their 3 year old, because he does not like it.  Really?  I bet he does not like the car seat either, but like that it's the LAW lady.  Besides they would be the first to sue if the kid did fall overboard.

    The guest who complained that the resort is not doing enough to get her bags from the airlines.  Yep, the airlines lost her luggage and it's our responsibility and she should get free stuff because of it.

    Don't get me started on the two 11 year olds comparing the Ritz to the Four Season and  then comparing Grand Caymen to Hawaii.

    In addition to this, I judge people who wait until they get to the very front of a busy security checkpoint line to start unbuckling their belt, taking off shoes, trying to find their ID and boarding pass, throwing liquids away, and grabbing bins (or worse, just start getting their kids' stuff situated/unloaded). By the time I am within reaching distance of the table with the bins, I've got shoes in hand, jacket off, ziploc of liquids pulled out, ID and boarding pass ready, and I have to stand there in my socks waiting for people to realize what's happening. I can't imagine this is everyone's first time flying.

    I did this when traveling from CT to LA. I had bought a bottle of soda in the CT airport and then when I got to LA, I had to go through security to get into the international airport. I totally forgot about the soda! The guy made me open my bag and scolded me for trying to "sneak" a bottle of soda by him. I was mortified!

    Oh do I ever judge these jerks!  I like to smirk at them as I walk past their cars - because I already parked in the back and they are still waiting.
  • And she didn't even complain that she had to throw it away. She did protest a bit when she found out my parents were going to get lunch on the plane, but we wouldn't. (My brother got all of us the tickets, but put my parents in First Class. They were so excited!)

  • I judge people who don't return the shopping carts to their proper place in the parking lot. I judge people who go through the "12 items or less" lane with 13+ items. I judge cashiers who wait until I have unloaded my items on the belt to tell me that they are closed and that I have to pack up my items and go to another lane. GRR!

  • People who stop smack in the middle of the grocery aisle with their shopping cart while they stare at the crackers, trying to decide which ones to buy. Ditto with parents who stop in the middle of the mall with their strollers and/or run over your ankles with them. Please don't inflict your children, or your indecisiveness about crackers on me.
  • They usually ARE the ones that need the extra walk Buddha.

    [QUOTE]<strong>The douche who took my parking space after I shoveled.</strong>

    OMG hershey, when I still lived at my parents' (long time ago) we had a major snowstorm and my dad & I took turns shoveling one of the cars out. Exhausting, hours long shovelling. I think we actually shovelled so he could get to my Grandpap's to take him some things. When he came back, someone had taken the spot. And it was SO OBVIOUS that we had shovelled ourselves out....I BEGGED my dad to let me shovel the guy back in, but he wouldn't let me. However, my dad did back our other car up almost to his bumper.  Behind the guy was a phone pole, which means when the guy DID leave, he had to back up an inch, up an inch, back an inch etc about a million times to be able to get out.

    I'm still mad he wouldn't let me shovel his tires in.

    I'm the same way. I also judge people who jam up the line trying to re-dress after their stuff comes out, and people who stand in the aisle of the plane trying to get themselves perfectly situated before letting anyone else past.

    I judge people who make ridiculous New Years Resolutions.  "Oh I'm going to lose 40 pounds and go to the gym four days a week and quit smoking and read three books a week and save at least one starving baby from Kenya a month"  Shut up.  No you're not.  If you had wanted to actually do any of those things, you probably would have started working towards them on one of the previous 365 days, sorry.
