Wedding Etiquette Forum

I judge...

A woman I know who smokes pot several times a day, even though she has an 11 year old son.

Another woman I know who lets her boyfriend treat her like crap in front of her teenage daughter (and she stays with him because he takes care of her and she doesn't have to work).

People who think potluck weddings/showers are ok.

    The guy around the corner whose chihuahua clearly weighs at least twice as much as it should.  He picks it up, walks it across the street to pee, then carries it back inside the house.  How is that not cruelty to animals?  Poor dog!

  • Thanks, OWN :)

  • People who smoke 5 feet front the one and only door.

    People who don't even try to say someone's name correctly.. They don't have an english name for a reason, stop trying to call them by one.

    People try to pronounce my name a lot and butcher it. Sometimes I judge them, based on whether or not they are native English speakers. If you are, it's not that hard.

  • I judge my mother. Thank you for your help with the wedding, but you do not need me to write down a list for you of what each person I am inviting has/will give me as a gift. You do not need a spreadsheet of your friend's and family's generosity.

    I also judge the woman who was in my store yesterday. Her 3-4 year old daughter clearly had to go to the bathroom, and was pulling on the lady, but she just kept shopping. The little girl ended up wetting her pants, and I just wanted to scream at the mother. Especially, since I had to clean up the mess. I was pissed, and the lady still stayed in the store for at least 20 more minutes shopping after this happened.

  • mery, they mess up your first name? Both seem pretty straight forward to me.

    I judge the raising of the college fees as well. I'm paying $384 for one class in the fall at a junior college. WTF. I would just skip it and go straight to my MBA, but it's a foundation course they look for.

    I judge myself for knowing I need to go to the gym, but continuing to put it off. I need to just get off my lazy ass already and go.

    smokers in general.  When I was single, I wouldn't even date one because if I'm near cigarette smoke it causes a seal like barking cough.

    I know, right? Some people stumble over it. I'm like, "Do you watch TV? You may have heard of a show called Grey's Anatomy?"

    Spelling is a whole 'nother issue. I used to tell people at Starbucks my name was Kate. Now it's kind of funny to see what they come up with.

    I take 2 classes and I'm paying about $2000 a semester. And it's gon up by over $500 since I started there in '07.

    People who dress inappropriately for their age.

    I think this one is my favorite.  While I was sitting for the Ohio bar a few years ago my law school set up a care van filled with energy packed food for its students. While talking to a couple of former professors, another guy starting spouting off political nonsense I'd heard on a cable news channel while flipping channels the night before.  I sliced and diced his arguments and because he didn't have anything to back up "his" opinion, he actually turned on his heel and ran to the other side of the parking lot.

  • ...my mother as well right now, she needs to learn the lesson that you get more bees with honey than with vinegar, she can come off as really rude at times.

    ...my professor who is not doing everything he can so I at least get my money's worth out of the exhorbitant cost of grad school.  I mean come on, it only takes a couple of seconds to respond to an email.

    ...the parents of my students who choose to be their kids' friend rather than discipline because saying, "no," is hard, well duh, but aren't the greatest rewards in life the hardest ones to achieve, and you're not doing your kid any favors because someday their boss is going to tell them, "no," or else, "you're FIRED!"

    As my fiance is fond of saying, "Just Relax....."

    This guy who parked under an overpass on the highway during the huge hailstorm yesterday...in the middle of the lane, blocking all of the traffic.  Nice, douchebag.

  • Disclaimer: I'm not referencing the thread from yesterday, just in general.

    I really judge people who freak out when they find out how we're chaning our names (having two last names). I've heard so many times "ZOMG what happens when your kids marry kids who have two last names and then their kids have four last names and then somebody has 298092 last names?!?!?!?!?"

    The odds of two double-named kids coming together aren't huge. If they do, I'm quite confident they'll figure something out, and the world won't actually end. FFS.

    This....its horrible at my work.  There's a sign that says no smoking within 30 feet, but its not enforced.  Someone went to complain to security and they told her to say something to the smokers WTF!?

    I judge people at the gym that won't wipe down the treadmill or bike they were using.  Seriously you've been sweating like crazy.  I do not want to sit in your butt sweat.
  • my cousin who believes that i would make up a story to break her and her boyfriend up.  her reasons for thinking that i made it up is because we haven't hung out in a long time and then i took her out for dinner to tell her.  and because i offered her a place to stay. 

    yeah, okay, that makes sense.  she's so fucking dellusional it's not even funny.

    Your name was on my baby name list, but H didn't care for it (he doesn't know what's pretty), so it's off now. I never would've thought it'd be a difficult name, though.

    I can't WAIT to pay for grad school!! /sarcasm
  • My first name gets spelled a million different ways, and nobody could pronounce my maiden name correctly.  I'm so happy when I don't even have to spell my new last name- it's such a foreign concept to me!

  • I judge the woman I saw wearing track pants at the ballet last weekend. And the people who were there with children under 2 years of age. Yes, it's Sleeping Beauty and it's a matinee. That doesn't mean a kid who's too young to sit through a movie should be at something that involves an intermission. I wanted to smack the people behind me with a toddler who kept saying, "Look, a ballewina! A ballewina!"

    My parents took me to "the Nutcracker" when I was 4.  I slept through 90% of it.  I don't see the point of taking a child under 5 to the ballet.  They're not going to appreciate it.
