Patrons at bars/restaurants/whatever who are greeted with "Hi, how are you?" And then answer, "I need a table for two/bud light/whatever." That wasn't the question, diickhead. Someone took time to be personable to you. Return the favor. It doesn't take two seconds to say, "Great/terrible, whatever," and it won't hurt a bit, I promise.
OH! One more - since I don't want to work today. The jerks that stand REEEALLY close behind you in check-out lines. And then they have the nerve to get pissy if you ask them to step back and give you some personal space. And they are usually greasy, older men too. I need to learn to pass smelly gas on command so that I can let one fly on those jerks.
I judge the lady at work who thinks that emailing me and then coming over to my desk to repeat her email to my face is going to make me get her what she needs any faster. In fact, I'm going to drop you to the bottom of my priority queue. Thanks.
I judge people who pick their nose in the car (doubly so if you see them check out what they bring out on their finger). Your windows are see through, I can see you doing that.
... people who take children who are still in a stroller to a modern art museum.
... people who stop at the top/bottom of an escalator, just inside/outside a door, anywhere that creates congestion.
... people who feel the need to walk 3-4 people across on NY sidewalks and don't move over when someone walks towards them from the opposite direction.
I hate people who are too close in check out lines too! I've found that if you turn around quickly and exclaim that you forgot something, while at the same time "accidentally" ramming their cart into them, they back off. Then act horrified and tell them whatever you needed isn't that important after all and turn back around. Works every time.
I judge people who let their teen girls dress like hookers. 99% of the time you bought the freakin ho dress for her, so why are you complaining when she wears it out? Until she's 18, yes actually you CAN tell her what to wear. Stop bitching to me that you can't control what she's wearing. You can. You just won't because you don't want the argument. You FAIL as a parent, and your daughter looks like she'd give head for $5. Congrats!
Ditto what bec said, only for parents and older people.
No, you are NOT 18. No, you cannot dress like a hooker. You FAIL as a parent, and youre a mom/grandma who looks like she'd give head for 5 bucks. Congrats!
I'm actually getting a little nervous, as Manda turns 18 in 32 short days. There's SO much I've said, "I don't care what you think, you're not doing __________ until you are an adult and it's not my problem anymore!" in response. Jesus God, what have I done?
She just asked this morning if I'd buy her owl tattoo for her birthday. Kill me.
I also judge the random user name that just popped up on the right column. Fystybride or something. WTF? Fysty, as in "fisty"? Like you like to be fisted? If that was supposed to be "fiesty" bride, you're an idiot. But thanks for the laugh!

I judge pretty much anyone who thinks the rules don't apply to them. Like people who won't put their seats up for take-off and landing, or who drive with their cell phones, or who bring dogs to restaurants.
That said, I judge the guy on the plane in front of my on Sunday who put his seat back as soon as we took off and left it back for the whole, 4 hour flight. It was in the afternoon, I know you weren't sleeping. And since MY seat didn't recline, the back of his seat was about 8 inches from my face the whole time. Just because you CAN put your seat back doesn't mean you should.
My FI is one of those people who takes forever in security lines. I am NOT. When he needs to move his car for me in the morning, I'll tell him, "I'm leaving in 5 minutes!" And then, "I'm about to take off." And then, "I have my keys, I'm leaving now." And only THEN does he get his shoes and bathrobe on, and find his keys. I love him, but that's one thing about him that annoys me a LOT.

If it makes you feel any better, my parents said this to me numerous times, and to the best of my recollection, I did exactly NONE of these things once I turned 18.

haha my FI is <em>exactly</em> the same way. He won't get up and get ready to go until I'm standing there, purse in hand with my coat on, keys out, etc. Very frustrating.
Leave him once. That's all it will take. I cannot STAND to be late, and DH is awful about thinking he has one more minute to lie in bed, or look something up on the computer, or whatever. The day is going to come when he makes ME late, and I will leave him and go do whatever I'm ready to do. I'm hoping that will cure him of that stupid habit.
Future, I'd move his car FOR him if I could, but he drives a standard and I don't want to slam into other cars in our parking area. I don't think the neighbors would like that. It's not about leaving him, because he just has to let my car out of the parking space. He doesn't even shower until I leave for work, so he's sloooow.
Brie - who the hell does that?!
Bec - At our high school mother/daughter brunch we had a wek before graduation, the mom of our class president made a speech about how eventually you just have to let them go, tell them to take a cell phone in the car with them for emergencies, and hope they make it back before 4am. Huh?! That's the best you can hope for? (This was 10 years ago, but that was the gist of it.) I would not have had the balls to walk in at 4am after a night of drinking when living under my parents' roof, over 18 or not. Or else I would not have been driving or meeting friends anywhere for a very long time! I'm sure M will be fine!
Bec - just tell M when she turns 18 if she tries to pull any crap that "as long as she's under your roof she'll live by your rules". You'll get at least another few months out of the situation.

FI is exactly like this. I've left him. He hustled his belly now. Hustles.
FI always used to make me late too. We'd be heading out the door (after I already waited 10 minutes for him) and he'd go "Oh, wait, I need ____" and disappear. So I left him once. Made him drive his own car. Worked like a charm. He hasn't pulled that crap but a couple times since then (which is a vast improvement over every.single.time!)

This baffles me. Of course a person is going to recline their seat if they can. Why wouldn't they? It's more comfortable that way. All a person is responsible for doing is before they recline they give the little turn around and look back so the person knows its coming so they don't spill sodas or something. Thats it. Its ridiculous to expect someone to NOT recline just because you can't. Book one that reclines next time.
"Whatever East. You're just mad I RSVP'd "lame" to your pre-wedding sleepover."
I'm sure M is going to be fine. We openly judge the same things, and I really haven't had to argue too much, except a short jean skirt here or there, and a bathing suit coverup once at the beach. She really is a good kid, and she knows I'm not taking anyshit even after she's an adult if she's living in my house. I'm probably worrying too much. It was the tattoo talk we had today that got me worked up. She's been asking for that tattoo since she was 15. I thought she'd lose interest. Shows what I know.
She wants me to draw it, so maybe I can delay that for a few months?

Oh, that seat would not have been my choice. We booked with miles, so we got the most craptastic seats. Including on our red eye to the eat coast, which is always fun.
If he had asked if it was okay, I would have just asked him to wait a moment so I could get a book out of my carry-on. Even if he had glanced back and not just slammed his seat back, it would have gone a long way to making me less crabby. Plus, he was up out of his seat for half the flight. And NO ONE else in his row had their seat back.
I judge the renters in our building that do not take care of the facilities. I know you are "just" a renter, but, dude, don't break the bag stand in the gym, throw your cigarettes in the planter, or break the pool sticks.
Are you four?
On the subject of smokers though...I judge people that smoke in an area where I cannot escape the smoke (like right outside a restaurant where we are waiting for a table) and when you throw your butt on the ground. Yes, that IS littering, assclown.
I don't get married often, but when I do, I do it in Las Vegas.

I judge people who use the "early boarding" on planes because they are slower, (kids, handicap) and then insist on deplaning along with everyone else. You boarded early because you would take up extra time? Then sit down so that others can leave without you blocking them.
Liquids on planes? a set of measuring spoons and cups will cost you about 99 cents. Invest in them, okay?
Handicap parking? The inability to read the sign is NOT a handcap.
Dressing inappropriately for age? look in the mirror and try to guess what your friends think but don't say.

people who bring young children into upscale restaurants (free pass if your child ACTUALLY behaves)
people who give up a pet because of a new baby. the pet has seniority, fuucker. baby should go.
