I judge / unpop ops

Nebb · January 2012

Entertain me people!! My belated unpop op? I hate programs where people get free toys for their kids for xmas. I realize the kids did nothing wrong and *most* people who benefit from it deserve the help but I hate that the skeezers who milk the system get oFf the hook, again. Maybe I don't hate the program entirely, just that it gives undeserving people an easy out.

SarahPLiz · January 2012

It makes me nervous when I see people driving a standard and smoking at the same time. Yes, i talk on my phone while driving, but its not on fire.

Blueyed228 · January 2012

Nebb- Along the same lines, my family decided to "adopt a family" for Xmas one year and were given first name, age, and "wish list" for that family. It was a family of 5. When I dropped the stuff off at the donation place, they took the gifts and put them in piles of "boys 12-14, girls 4-6" etc. It pissed me off that they sent me this whole letter about how hard the family struggles etc, only to take my gifts and toss them in a pile to be handed out how they feel.

I dont like being lied to.

Also, I wont even get into what was on the "wishlists"

I hate TK line of "No one will ever be as excited about your wedding as you are." That line annoys the crap out of me and I don't think it's even true. H and I's mothers were way more excited about the wedding than we were.

I guess my point is that I don't understand what the big deal is about brides-to-be being upset when their parents show no interest whatsoever. I'd be hurt if my parents didn't care too.

alynne1113 · January 2012

On the same note as the Christmas programs, we "adopted" a family through our work this year and gifts the parents asked for were ridiculous. Like perfumes I cannot even afford to buy myself. I adopt a family so the kids can have a Christmas, TBH I don't care if the adults get a gift.

We probably went through the same charity, lol

This is probably more of an irrational irritation, but: people who get all sanctimonious about how they don't believe in New Year's resolutions because they believe in plans instead.

Nebb · January 2012

Sesh, I agree. 2 friends of mine are getting married this year and I can't even express how excited I am, maybe not AS much as they are, but pretty damn excited lol.

achiduck · January 2012

I judge FI's company. They had a "kids Christmas" where every child of an employee was sent a $25 toy, but the actual employees got squat - no bonus, no gift card, no meal. FI asked about gifts for his little half-brothers who are 5 and 3 but since they are not our children (we have no actual kids, just furbabies) his manager said that they didn't qualify. I was not impressed.

SarahPLiz · January 2012

I've had the opposite experience with adopting families. However, here it is all coordinated through one place with one set of criteria, to prevent duplication. The Austin Travis County Christmas Bureau is awesome, and it totally a volunteer org from what I can tell. Both families we have adopted were in great need (single mom with toddler and grandparents raising 5yo grandson while his mom was in jail) and were supremely thankful when we dropped off the presents. If someone would have acted ungraciously, I'd have taken the presents back.

Also, they reach out to homebound seniors as well. So you can adopt an old person. They had all sorts of things on their wishlists from slippers to gft cards for prescriptions (CVS, etc)

Blueyed228 · January 2012

I judge parents who let their 5 year olds wear 3 inch heels.

My sister had a b-day party for my nieces 1st birthday on Sunday. It was at her pizza place and the kids made their own pizzas, did sand art, and painted masks. One of the kids wore this sequins dress and strappy high heels. She was 5 and a friggin brat.

I may have laughed at her everytime she slipped on the tile and took a spill on the floor.

Isn't that kind of what a resolution is, though? A plan to better yourself/improve your life/whatever it may be? Sure, it's not a set-in-stone plan, but it's something.

alynne1113 · January 2012

I hate when people do their makeup and drive. I was rearended by a lady going 100kms (approx. 60 for you Americans) and was off work for almost 7 months, and when DH seen her coming behind us, he said she wasn't even looking out the front windshield and looked like she was doing something like putting make up on. sooo stupid!

I raise you smoking in one hand and talking with the other! How are they driving?

I'm really getting irritated with people and their inconsiderate driving now days. Seriously, it's not that hard to flip the turn signal on, and guess what it goes off on its own when you turn, half the work is done for you!

Sosteadilygo · January 2012

I was hardcode judging the guy next to me who stared at the tv and continued staring while I changed the station. This was all so the developmentally disabled girl I'm working with at the laundrymat can watch her favorite tv station. Fvck him.

Its like...a $200 fine if you are caught talking on your phone or being distracted around here.

One of my insurance companies sent out a statistic that said texting and driving is four times more dangerous than drinking and driving.

I like that. :)

I understand and even applaud the sentiment. It's a "Don't wait until the New Year to resolve to make a positive change; do it now, and do it well!" kind of a thing. It's only when the delivery turns holier-than-thou that I want to start kicking kittens.

(Not really. I like kittens.)

I judge people who ignore the "The store is closing in 5 minutes" announcements we do at the end of the night at work. I want to go home, damnit. I've been here for 8 hours, I don't get paid if you decide to stay late to look for "just one" more clearance DVD. You've been here for 20 minutes. If you didn't find something yet, come back to morrow and try again. For right now, GTFO!

I *think* they just made texting illegal here, and i dont think teen drivers can talk on the phone.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · January 2012

So I know I'm doing it wrong, because this isn't an "I judge," but it drives me apeshit to see pictures of celebrities posing for pictures (standing up) with their legs crossed. It's like this thing, apparently, to pose this way when you're getting photographed. I don't get it. You don't look naturally gorgeous by standing that way. You look like a foffing pretzel.
