I judge people who won't let boys play with girls toys - dolls, play kitchens, dollhouses.
If that's in response to my question to Leslie yesterday, I was just curious. I've never known anyone personally who just bought their son a doll house. I do know someone who bought their son a Ken doll once though.

Jack has had sips of soda. It's not a big deal. I'm very pro healthy eating and anti-fast food, but I'm also going to be real about it - a few sips of soda or an occasional fast food fry isn't going to hurt anyone. I just don't want him to develop a taste or preference for it.
I judge people who don't keep their dogs on leashes. I was running on Sunday at dusk and a giant black dog ran down the middle of the street with his owner casually strolling after him. 1) A car coming down the street would have had a really hard time seeing the dog - it was dark, the dog is black, and he was in the middle of the road. 2) It scared the hell out of me. I don't know if the dog is friendly, wild, or what.
people who give their kids sweets/soda when they are.still.babies. And then wonder why they need all that dental work later
people who drink anything alcoholic while pregnant. To me, wine counts.

I judge people who can't do simple addition without a calculator or their fingers. It isn't difficult to add 5 plus 3.
Also thanks to my tutoring, I judge parents who homeschool their kids in higher grades (like high school) and don't know how to do the math themselves (or any other subject), so they cannot teach their kids. I realize homeschooling has its pros and cons as well as public schooling, but how much are you really helping your child if you can't even teach them what they need to know? Yes, I'd be great at teaching my kid science and math, but Lord knows I'd be doing them an injustice if I had to teach them english/literature.
"I stammered, unable to form a coherent thought because I have a vagina."
Dear sweet baby Jesus no. Never again. Not even if I were starving and it was the only 'food' available.

That is why I don't eat at Burger King...I had an unfortunate indicent w/ a Whopper Jr. once roughly 20ish years ago and it soured me on the whole place forever.

If that's in response to my question to Leslie yesterday, I was just curious. I've never known anyone personally who just bought their son a doll house. I do know someone who bought their son a Ken doll once though.
I'm actually building their dollhouses from scratch if it makes a difference. And with his interests, it's probably going to be more like a bachelor pad than anything. He likes playing with "girly" toys like houses, dolls, cleaning stuff, etc, but he's also very "boy" when it comes to his current interests. He'll push a doll stroller around the house, but it's usually got an Iron Man toy in it. I love that child so much.
And on that note, I judge the shiit out of everybody who is going to give me crap for making my boy a dollhouse. I'm not even talking about you here Lurky, but our very traditional and conservative friends and family that I know are going to have things to say about it. Whatev. Hopefully by the time I'm done with him, my boy won't be like their "men" who have issues doing things like changing diapers, cleaning house, cooking dinner, and any other "women's work" like that. God forbid a man help his wife keep his own house clean, or wash his own work clothes, right?
(Clearly I'm passionate about gender stereotypes haha. Sorry that got so long.)
I judge bad parenting. Not the occasional temper-tantrum, but people like my neighbors. Last 4th of July, the 3-year-old and 6-year-old where outside alone, unsupervised, lighting fireworks! (The exploding kind, not just smoke-bombs. Even for smoke-bombs, I think they should be supervised at that age!) That's just one example of a laundry-list of poor parenting I've seen by them on a daily basis.
I judge people who attempt to use the self check-out lane at the grocery store and have to ask for help 5 times. It's not hard people! I also judge people who go into these lines with a full cart!

Little Lurky, born 2008
Priss28King is wise.--"Lurky, you are so mean... but always so on point!"
I judge people who are incapable of re-evaluating their stance on things if new information comes to light. I judge people who refuse to admit they may have been wrong. I judge people who refuse to try and see the other side of an argument.
I judge people who make snap decisions about me based on weight. I judge medical personnel who comment on my weight when I am pregnant, because there is nothing I can do about it at this point, genius (I am eating as healthfully as m/s will allow, not eating for two, not downing the sweets, etc). That's why my Ob and peri are amazing - it's simple a medical fact at this point that doesn't need constant repeating. I'm fat, and we're moving on.
I judge people who say they are busy in my office, but who have less than half the work I do and are always able to leave on time and never work on weekends. Or people who miss deadlines because the couldn't be bothered to come in on a weekend. I don't like it, but we're salaried - that's what they pay us for, dimwit.

I judge people who have children and then continue to party like they don't. Probably partly due to my own IF struggles, but it's unfair and sucks none the less.
I judge people who dress inappropriattely at events, like wearing jeans to a funeral or a slut dress to a wedding.

I judge people who are incapable of quitting smoking when pregnant/ smoking away from their small children. Not saying you have to be a saint but don't punish your kiddos health with your poor decision making skills.
I judge bad grooming and yes that includes wearing your pajamas into public. It takes less than 30 seconds to put on blue jeans and put your hair in a half assed ponytail.
I judge people who think I should be on WIC/Unemployment/Welfare since I was let go from my job at 22 weeks pregnant. Bite me. I got myself into this mess (well not really) and I will somehow with a little faith and budgeting survive it until I find another full time job. It makes me feel like people think that I'm incompetant or that my baby will go without and thats not the case. Government programs should be for those who are in TRUE need not those who just want to use their grocery money for something else...grrr...

I judge people who quote the Bible as if that proved their argument. Um, you may believe it to be the divine word of God, but I don't, and if we're just pulling random quotes out of thin air then I'm going to counter with Dr. Suess or something equally ridiculous to prove my point. I'm perfectly fine and not-judgey with people who believe something on the basis of their religion, but quoting your religious text is not a clinching argument for reasoned debate among people of a variety of beliefs.
I also judge people who refuse to acknowledge that the bible they read is a translated document and that there are differing interpretations based not only on translations between languages but cultural issues that affect how something would have been understood by, say, a 5th c. audience versus how it would be understood today. The Bible was not direct-faxed in English (NSV) from God. For the record.
Gabriel Ross - August 24, 2009 * Vivienne Rose - May 1, 2012
I judge people who are on the phone while driving, texting while driving, or anything related to poor driving. Driving has always been one of my major anxiety points, and now, instead of scaring me, it pisses me the eff off when I see people being all lax about something that requires such diligence.
Also, there are a large number of people in Socal who handle their driving anger in the following way: laying on their horn, swerving around to get in front of you and slamming on their brakes (edited to fix the right kind of break/brake, because, you know, I teach English). What kind of messed up brain do you have if it brought you to this as a logical conclusion? I might swear and yell inside my car, maybe even honk if you are putting me in danger, but never would I willingly jeopardize the well being of someone else.
I judge anyone who buys Rick Perry's propaganda at face value without looking at the facts for what he has really done as governor of Texas. And anyone who, when presented with those facts, chooses to ignore them completely and blabber on about how good he would be as president.

For years and years I refused to try guacamole becuase I was pretty sure that I was going to hate it. When I finally did try it I wanted to kick myself for not trying it sooner. Avocados are heaven in fruit (or is it veggie) form. OMG. LOVE THEM!
