[QUOTE]In Response to Re: I judge... : This. I also Judge people who wear very little clothing, and get angry when they are gawked at by men. I'm not saying it's ok to objectify women, but come on, when you got dressed to go to the mall did you decide " oh I'll wear the lowest cut shirt and shortest skirt I own, and no one is gonna look at me" No, you said "dang I look good" so don't get mad when someone pays attention to what you have put onto display.

I guess I agree, but I REALLY judge guys who can't control themselves when a woman dressed in revealing clothes walks by. I mean, is it really totally involuntary when you whistle or catcall? You can't just quickly admire her and move on; you have to make it really obvious?

I've felt similarly, Beach - I hadn't thought of things being gifts though. Or like, owning your car before you went on food stamps and stuff. I still judge it, but now I think more about it before I jump to conclusions.

[QUOTE]<strong>How on earth can you tell that the jewelry is expensive</strong>? I mean, unless I'm checking the karat stamp on the inside of something and looking at the diamonds through a lupe, I dont know if something is real or fake at a distant glance. And I've worked as a jeweler for a living.

This is exactly what I have to say about that debate. I wouldn't know if something was Wal-Mart or Tiffany if it bit me in the face.

I judge people who can't grasp simple grammar concepts. It's "I saw so and so" not "I seen so and so".

I also judge people who still think that tanning is OK. And I even judge people a little who are addicted to spray tanning. I just don't get the appeal. It almost always looks unnatural.

[QUOTE]Not gonna lie, I know its an UO, but yeah I generally judge people on welfare and food stamps driving expensive cars, with iphones, designer purses and shoes, etc. Yes, I know there are always exceptions where it's family jewelry, or they had a good job and lost it. But I'm from a city and area where welfare abuse is rampant, and probably 7 out of 10 people on welfare are abusing it, and stores and people are busted left and right for welfare fraud, then yes I have this mentality.
Posted by Beachy730[/QUOTE]

If you're used to seeing it abused, and it's common knowledge in your specific area that it's abused, then I get why you would be judgy about it. I just hate the bandwagon people that just want to judge something, and since everyone, who's anyone, has (apparently) been witness to someone whipping out the EBT card from a Fendi purse, it means they're abusing the system.

Gah, one of my good friends is a pharmacist and she says that. I'm like, "So you aced biophysics and organic chemistry, but you failed English 101??"

LDYGTR13 · June 2012

OOH! I just remembered one - I was in the bathroom the other day, a mom had her son in the women's bathroom - he was probably on the high side of 3 - that's cool, Whatever. He peed with the seat down and peed all over the seat. And he didn't flush. Or wash his hands. And peed with the door wide open so I, walking in to the bathroom was able to see his butt and he turned to look at me, which I assume could have been when he hit the seat? Anyway, it was gross.

If you're going to bring your kid into the women's bathroom, make them treat it with respect, just like if YOU were the next one to go in there.

I agree, but some women could get angry just with someone glancing her way or smiling at her. The assumption would be he's doing it because she's got her goods on display, and how dare he even look at her.

button6004 · June 2012

I judge people who complain that they have "no money" when they go on trips to Europe 5 times a year, send their children to private schools that cost the same as my college tuition and eat lunch out everyday. You have money, just not as much as you'd like.

I judge an estranged relative who frequently tells people that they have had everything handed to them because they have a good job or moved away from home. I got my job because I worked hard and earned it, and I am paying out of my ears for my college education, but the way he tells it, I "sucked up" to my employers and am a "hack."

midgetthemighty · June 2012

Meegles, "I seen" makes me twitch. It doesn't even sound good. How do people not hear that?

LesPaul · June 2012

I judge the visibly pregnant woman on the street corner last week with her toddler and 'please help we're homeless sign' who was smoking a cigarette. I considered giving her some money until I saw that - I'm sorry you're having a difficult time, but no way I'm going to buy you a pack of smokes.

Habs2Hart · June 2012

I judge people who air their dirty laundry publicly on FB, especially when they have a problem with someone and they choose to tell them on their wall instead of privately. Especially when the person they are berating is a kid with suicidal thoughts. The kid needs help, you telling him he's a c*** does not help. Go away and mind your own business.

Beachy730 · June 2012

I'm done after this Adamar, promise. But yeah, MK. My friend from home has worked at a peds office for years in an inner city office. The Dr's have to write scripts for people all the time for advil, tylenol, condoms, etc., because the patients say they can't afford it, yet get into Escalades and stuff.

Ah, yes, that I totally agree with. I think a lot of the time it's the woman trying to get even <em>more</em> attention. Like, pay attention to me while you're admiring me, then pay more attention to me when I complain about being objectified. That is certainly ridiculous.

I judge people who are not only mean to servers but also to people like telemarketers -- just be polite for god's sake. They're people trying to make a living.

PetalPockets2012 · June 2012

TK keeps eating my posts and I want to judge. I judge the parents who leave their kids with us all day who don't have to. I know it is a free program bit they don't have to stay the entire 11.5 hours. They are 4 and 5 years old. A normal school day is until 2 if you want them to get used to school. If you aren't working till 6, come get them.

I judge people who have children yet post pics of themselves out boozing it up every.single.weekend. I seriously have a friend with thousands of pictures of her and her H out at clubs/bars Thur-Sun every week, and her album that is labeled family has 4 pictures in it. When you know the drink special at every bar within a 30 mile radius, but you can't remember your parent teacher conference, you might want to reevaluate your priorities.

Also, students calling me to donate to where I went to school. I judge whoever trained you. When I say is can't give anything when you ask for $100, doesn't mean I'll change my mind for $50, $25, $10, etc. I'm still paying my loans. We can talk after those are gone.

I'll be nice to telemarketers the first time they call. But when they call repeatedly after telling them no I get pissed. Our mortgage bank keeps calling for H to do a survey. I say he is gone and I can do it, but no they need him to do it. When the third person called and said the same thing I finally snapped and said I've told 3 people now that H is deployed and will be gone for a few months. Either allow me to take the survey with my POA, or please mark on your list not to call me again.

I judge the Facebook posts that say "I'm going to be the bigger person and not stoop to your level." Fail. Being the beigger person would be not posting anything at all. By posting about not posting, you are in fact on their level.
