NER: I judge...

princessleia22 · November 2013

I judge people that ask for $1000+ tv's or entertainment systems on their registries... um, sorry but I have no intentions of buying you a better tv than I have... especially when nobody in either their families could afford something like that either.

I judge people that cut in front of you in line at the store. Or that run to beat you into the line. Or if they open another grocery lane right next to you and the people behind you jump into it instead of allowing you to go first, when you've already been waiting 5 minutes longer than they were. What makes people think that their time is more valuable than mine? And it just gets worse around Christmas time.

FI & I have a popcorn maker on our registry because we love having movie dates at home and popcorn is always involved. It's practical for us and is better than using the microwave.
I judge...people who think that just because they deem a product "useless", that no one should have the right to want that item. Guess what? People have different tastes than you. It would be like me saying, "I hate baking, I can't believe x person registered for a stand mixer. It will be such a waste of space and never get used in a year". People can register for whatever the hell they want. If you think a particular item is dumb, don't buy it for them! Seriously...

I could not agree more. We registered for a nice $40-$50 blender. I make smoothies almost every morning for breakfast. FH loves margaritas. We would use it all the time. I have had my FMIL continually say that it would never get used. Just because you don't use yours doesn't mean I won't either.

I judge... when people complain about a dry wedding. I understand that people like to drink at weddings. I love to drink as well. What bugs me to no end is when people say they CANNOT enjoy a wedding without alcohol. Can you seriously not have a good time sober? That's really sad.

I judge the parents of bad children. Young kids that swear-I hate that. Kids that are mean, rude or bullies.(toddlers I know often don't know how to express themselves. I'm talking 5 and up here) Parents that smoke with their kids in the car/house.

This! Making decisions that are bad for your own health, I don't care about. You're an adult, do what you want. But ruining your kids' health in such a drastic way is not okay. They're kids and they can't get away from it.

No doubt. My mom was a smoker and I didn't think much about it until I left for college. Then I came home for fall break and realized that the house, the car and all my clothes smelled like an ashtray, and I was mortified. Not to mention what it could have done to my health or my brother's health.

thisismynickname2 · November 2013

I judge... people that can't drive in RAIN. I use a public bus for my commute. Regular day: 45min-hour. Rainy day: 1hr 15. Makes me and everyone else on the bus stabby.

As a Chicago resident, I judge... wedding parties that take their photos in the middle of Michigan Ave. A) You have cars, busses, and pedestrians in your photos now. Nice. Not.

Everyone does it- you're not creative... C) It's Michigan Ave-- mecca of middle-class shopping. Just... why?

I judge... people who take photos of the Clark Street sign. Because they're Cubs fans and Wrigley Field is on Clark Street. Um... Ok? It's a street sign.

Boy that felt good to get off my chest!

I judge the guy who was glaring at me at the food store on Saturday, before proceeding to berate me for using the electric wheelchair based cart as it should be "for the elderly" like himself.

(For the record- I did not have any visible cast or cane or anything- I've been dealing with Sciatic Nerve Inflammation for 3 weeks. The pain pills/ muscle relaxants make me feel loopy, and I don't like taking them when I have to drive. I managed to walk at my warehouse store and WalHell, but was hurting too much by the time I got to Publix (which was mobbed) and gave in to the chair.)

I judge 14 year old girls who don't send thank you notes and have to be reminded 4 times to cash the check you sent for their birthday, but get confused and angry when you stop sending gifts.

Grrrr. The electric cart thing makes me so angry. It is none of his business why you are using a cart. He doesn't know your medical history to make judgments. I formerly had a young coworker who does not appear to have a disability, but she had two open heart surgeries as a child and cannot walk very far. She has people give her dirty looks and make rude comments to her all the time for using handicapped parking spots (of course, she has a handicapped plate).

I judge people who would rather like my status on FB but are too busy to actually pick up a phone and ask how I'm doing or can return phone calls.

I agree 100%! I'm going to a wedding on Saturday. The couple is baptist so no dancing or alcohol. Do I think it will be the most fun wedding I've ever been to? Not really. But I'm still expecting to have a good time celebrating my friends' marriage. But a few of our mutual friends have been complaining for literally 2 months now that's it's a dry wedding. Every time we get together with them they talk about how they are going to either drink beforehand or sneak alcohol or both because they won't have any fun if there isn't any drinking. And this is coming from 2 of our friends who had a cash bar at their wedding which kind of makes me want to slap them and say at least we won't have to pull out our wallets at this wedding!

I judge people who don't keep their bathrooms clean. Let's be honest, we all get a little behind on cleaning sometimes, but when you're hosting people in your home there shouldn't be a ring around your toilet or hair in the sink, am I right?

I judge people who talk about how their government assistance got lowered, then post stuff all over Facebook about their new tattoos, smoking, and drinking.

I judge people who have body odor on a regular basis.

I judge the girl at the last Browns game I went to who showed the entire section her boobs. Did I mention it was 20 degrees?

This bugs me too. My FH's cousin does this. She got two new tattoos the same month she complained that she couldn't afford a new coat for her daughter. Her parent's gave her some money for the coat and she spent it on alcohol. They finally just bought a coat directly for their poor granddaughter. I swear I wanted to call CPS on her. She pisses me off so badly.

FYI I totally want a popcorn maker but again I could use that a lot for hosting parties

My issue isn't with a general popper... the one the girl registered for was some deluxe thing that looks like it belongs in a movie theater. I guess I just don't understand registered for unnecessary stuff when I feel like showers and for things that make a home. I don't think video games make a home. Maybe this is also my unpop opinion

@misssunshine17: I'm with you! I totally get registering for "nicer" versions of things (DH and I registered for an awesome coffee maker. Did we already have one? Yes, but this was an upgrade, and we did get it as a shower gift. It's programmable. I can make it make me coffee before I even wake up. I love it so much). I even get registering for things like lamps, end tables, and board games, because those allow you to hostess and be hospitable.

I probably wouldn't side-eye video games on a registry, but I would fervently hope the people are doing that to get the completion discount.

Yeah, I am super judgy about what people register for. Like a $100 charger plate- nope, sorry, no fucking way. Two different cake pop makers? You would probably only use one once, so no. A bathrobe... buy your fucking own. Camping gear? Pay for your own recreation. Just a personal thing.

HisGirlFriday13 · November 2013

HAHA! It's funny that you mention "camping gear" -- my cousin and his now-wife registered for ski poles, skis, avalanche transponder beacons, a tent, etc. I was like, "Uhm...no. I'm buying you salad bowls."

erinlin25 · November 2013

I judge people who already have decorated for Christmas--sorry but Thanksgiving is first people!

on that note, I judge people who shop on Thanksgiving day! Really, let people enjoy the day with their families. This is a new thing that needs to stop.

misssunshine17 · November 2013

Thank god! I'm glad someone agrees with me. My mom thinks I'm too bitchy about it. I also don't understand people who feel the need to 'upgrade' items that are perfectly fine.

I think it depends. But then, we also registered for this coffee maker (clicky). Previously, we owned this coffee maker (clicky).

So given that we upgraded, I might be biased.

Oh, I completely understand doing that a little, I'm talking about an overhaul, I suppose. I know a girl who acted like she had nothing but in actuality they lived together for years and had everything the needed. Might not have been high quality but it did the job.

natswild · November 2013

I judge city workers who don't know what they're doing--the plow goes first, THEN the sand truck people!! It does no good to sand the road, and have the plow right behind, plowing it off!!

Rebl90 · November 2013

I judge people who eat loud food in class (college student here)...yes please, eat those sun chips as loudly as possible, I don't really care about the classes I am paying for.

I judge tacky weddings....honeymoon jars, no chairs, straight out asking for money, I judge it all.

I judge thread-jacking...it gets seriously annoying when 1/2 of a thread turns into something unrelated.

CommitmentCat · November 2013

I judge people who pull into parking lots with their music on full blast. I automatically think they're just trying to look cool. Turn it down. I think you look stupid.

I judge people who smoke while other people are eating. I say this as a smoker. I do smoke but I believe in full consideration. It irks me.

On that line, I also judge people who throw their cigarette butts just anywhere. They go in a bin or ashtray. People think because I smoke that I behave like majority of the assholes. No i don't. I don't like my garden or road littered with cigarette butts so I wont do the same. I'm so tired of having people over who think it's okay to put cigarettes out in my pot plants. wtf? there are ashtrays outside. 3 of them.

I judge people who judge other people over what books they are reading. So what if I enjoyed Marian Keyes. Who gives a shit. Yes, I got a kick out of twilight. Did I force you to read it? No. So go back to reading your books that proclaim how much more educated you are than me, and I will continue with my happy escapism.

ETA: Whoops! I think I went full rant rather than just I judge!

PolarBearFitz · November 2013

I judge...people who try to continuously make a case for their PPD. We get it you're going to mistreat and lie to your guests no matter what. Just go off and be awful and stop talking.

This X1000000.

I get really pissed when I see people just toss their cigarettes out the window of their car or on the sidewalk. You know 99% of them don't trash their own homes or property like that - but it's ok to trash public property that everyone else enjoys with the refuse from their nasty habit? Who do they expect to clean it up? I'm actually curious. Any smokers here who are guilty of the non-chalant cigarette disposal? Is it just an I've-never-really-though-about-it thing? Or truly an I-don't-really-care thing? I promise I won't get pissy with you but I want to know the reasoning.

NavyBlue143 · November 2013

I judge the parents at my preschool who are on CCMS (state pays for all/ most of your childcare) and yet they have the latest iPhone, kids all have ipads and iPhones and the latest gaming systems and games, brand new Jordans, and then complain they can't afford their $30 a month copay. This is what my tax dollars go toward. I hate you.

aurorajanette · November 2013

I judge my sister (who I love to death, I swear) for the phone conversation we had last night. She is also engaged to a man she has been with for less than six months, and she actually got engaged before FI and I did. That is not what I am judging. I am judging the fact that ever since she got engaged, she has adopted this smug attitude and speaks to me and everyone else as if we're children. Last night, I was trying to arrange a time for the two of us and a mutual friend to go see hunger games, and her response was, "I would like to see it on Tuesday night, when the children aren't all in the theater. I don't care that Amy will be working late that night and can't go. I'm too old to go to the movies when a bunch of children will be there." She is 24! Our friend and I are 28. And her tone of voice was something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbsfN5NQd5k.

I judge that big time. Getting engaged means that you actually aren't better than anyone!

climbingsingle · November 2013

I judge people that pressure their significant others into proposing. A former friend of mine just got engaged after begging her boyfriend for a year to propose. She actually told me a few months ago that she might as well settle for this guy because the guy she really does love is marrying someone else. Yeah. Good luck with that marriage!

That's just...wow...I can't even...

What a terrible reason/way to get engaged and married.

Right!!! This girl was like wedding obsessed. She's been pinning wedding stuff on Pinterest for years. It's pretty obvious all she cares about the wedding day and having a big party.

PolarBearFitz · November 2013

Every time a single/non-engaged person posts a wedding board on Pinterest a puppy loses it's tail.

Peaseblossom55 · November 2013

I am helping to plan a friend's shower at the end of December and one of my friends' suggested we give envelopes for everyone to fill out their address for the thank you cards from the mom to be. I wrote a whole email including several reasons why that was so rude and tacky. I judge my friends for this incredibly tacky idea...

@thisismynickname. As a fellow Chicagoan, I could not agree more. I also dont understand why people take pictures on the train tracks at Union Station. There probably isnt a dirty place on the planet.

I judge people that don't pick up their dogs' leavings. I have 2 dogs and I know it's a hassle but that's what the baggies are for. Heck, I've used real estate posters when I've forgotten bags because as awkward as it is I'd feel worse leaving presents behind.

I judge people who assume you're trying to bilk the store when you're using coupons. I had to try to explain how coupons work to a co-worker and at the end of the conversation she still thought the reason a new store opening across the street had a harsh coupon policy was because they'd lose money *smacks forehead*.
