Reddit user u/gotwire recently asked, "What's something you silently judge people for?" and if I'm being honest, I'm guilty of maybe 50% of these things.
Here are the top-voted responses:
1. "The attention-seekers on Facebook that post things like a hospital wristband or caption it 'well, that was crazy!' And then they just watch the likes and the comments pour in, but they don’t respond to anything or give any details as to what happened."
2. "Giving a sentimental gift to someone and recording their emotional response. Even with permission, it feels like it takes away from the genuine gesture and turns it into something exploitative."
3. "Parents who let their kids roam around and destroy things in stores or restaurants."
4. "What people name their kids."
"If it’s a normal name with a weird spelling, I’m judging so hard."
"I once heard about a kid named Quartney. I'm not kidding."
5. "Hygiene 🤢. I had a coworker who pinched a loaf in the stall next to mine (our bathroom only had two stalls). It smelled terrible. When she was finished, she left without washing her hands and went straight to the break room fridge. She started touching and moving things around in there. From then on, I never put my food in the fridge and just kept it in an insulated bag at my desk. F*ck that shit. Nasty ass people!"
6. "If they can’t turn off the corporate jargon in a casual setting."
"If anyone says the word 'synergy' outside of the office, I think it should be legally okay to smack them."
"We should circle back to this one next week."
7. "People crying in front of the camera and posting it on social media."
8. "Having their buttcrack out. A little slip is fine if you realize immediately and then pull your pants up, but if you’re sitting at a table with several inches out for an extended period of time, how do you not feel the breeze going through that canyon?"
"I sat behind a guy at a seminar. All metal chairs. His butt crack was touching the chair. How do you not feel that?!"
"Just throw a penny in there. Works every time!"
9. "Whether they have manners or not. Especially chewing food with their mouth open…"
10. "Bad driving. No turn signal, tailgating, treating the drive like a race."
"Inching forward a tiny bit at a time at a red light that's clearly not going to turn green any time soon."
"Then when it does turn green they don't go because they're looking at their phone."
11. "Parents who are constantly yelling at their kids."
12. "People who cut in lines."
"Oh I'm not secret about that. I flat out tell them 'the line ends down there, you just cut in front of people.' It usually works, but I've had a few blatantly ignore me so I just say to them 'or you can continue to be an asshole.'"
13. "How they treat complete strangers out in public. Especially how they treat waiters, cashiers, or anyone they might view as 'below' them."
14. "Immediately believing one side of the story just because they heard it first."
"It's the worst when the other party tries to correct the narrative and they won't listen because they 'don't want to choose sides; or get involved. If you listened to the first person's story, but won't listen to the other, congratulations you chose a side. Especially if you ever comment on the situation."
15. "If you play your music without headphones, you are for sure going to The Bad Place."
And finally...
16. "Not cleaning up after your dog. If you do this, I believe you to be an asshole. Cleaning off my shoe, or my kid's shoe, blasts a 15-minute hole in my already crazy busy day, all because you don't want to spend five seconds cleaning your dog's shit. And don't fool yourself that nobody is going to step there. Kids, especially, step everywhere."
Now it's your turn! What do you secretly judge people for doing? Comment below!
