I have been judging the grown women I have seen around the city already wearing Uggs. Im not sure if it is the grown woman part I am judging, or the part that Im still wearing flip flops on my commute.
I also judge myself for being slightly sad panda that my FB preggo announcement didnt get much fan fare, when I purposely posted it at a time when I knew most friends wouldnt be checking their feed for a few hours (ie the middle of the work day). Get a grip, lady.
Also, intern who came into work obviously still sick, spent 10 minutes at my desk complaining about how she "thinks she has the flu" and is now POed at me because I sent her home for being obviously ill -- I judge you. If I get sick I am going to make your life miserable. You will rue the day!
Eww! I judge people who come to work sick, in general. All you're doing is spreading your gross germs everywhere. You won't get any work done because you're miserable, so just go home! I had a coworker do this last week. She was all, "I can't go home, I just have too much to do". Whatever.
I judge people who let their kids run around restaurants. Then, they give their server the side eye for almost slamming into their child, who is under everyone's feet.
I judge people who are starving for attention (on FB) and talk about guys whistling at them or people making comments about how skinny they are, but these people are SO rude for doing so. Grow up, twat!
Along the same lines of annoying FB crap: I can't stand when people post self-pics on FB and nothing else. Maybe I'm just more reserved? Shy? Whatever, but I wouldn't feel comfortable just posting a pic of myself, basically asking for attention.
Vomit.
Agreed. Along the same lines, I judge people who use the word selfie. Especially women my age. You're 30, not a damn teenager. So-called cutesy words don't get a pass anymore. Not with me, anyway.

Not me. Most of the time when we go to a restaurant, DH or myself have to follow DS around because he refused to stay in his high chair after about 15 minutes. At least we walk close to him and don't let him get into anything he shouldn't OR run into people
No, not like this kind of stuff. Yeah, I totally get that. I mean like people who will let, like 20 minutes go by without even knowing where there kids are.

I was going to jump on board with this judgement and say I too think its strange when people post a ton of selfie pics ">

WTF? It's way too hot for that! My feet would be a sweaty mess! Ooh, that reminds me. I judge people who wear UGGs without socks. Gross. You can't wash that shit. And I judge men who wear UGGs. (I enjoy judging people, obviously)
I judge parents that trick or treat with their infant and expect me to hand out candy to them.
This is what I was worried about. My SIL is wanting us to go with them to go trick or treating but I think it is really obvious that we aren't going to give our 11 month old a bunch of candy. I am hoping to just have him go up to the door with his 12 year old cousin and can just look cute without having to get candy and that will please my SIL.
I judge parents trick or treating for their "sick" children who are supposedly at home. And yes, this happens every year in my neighborhood.

A girl I went to high school with once filled my Instagram feed with pictures of herself. No lie. She posted about 30 "selfies" in less than an hour. FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO! I have time to waste here! hahaha
I'm judging a former co-worker who is trying to push everyone she knows to do this 90-Day Body by Vi Weight Loss Challenge. She posts this propaganda every single day, four times a day on Facebook yet she hasn't even started the challenge yet. Get out of my face. I don't want to hear about this and I certainly don't want to hear about it from someone who hasn't even done it.

Just to play devil's advocate, though ... I try to save my sick days for when my child is sick. When I'm the one who's sick, I'd have to be at death's door not to show up these days.
Luckily I haven't been sick in a while, but I imagine many working mothers struggle with this. I can't judge.

I disagree with this. I'm not going to get huffy about someone coming into work with a cold -- but vomiting, fever and definitely the flu, they should be home. I have sympathy for sick time issues, but I also think that people should have respect for their coworkers and coming into work when you're contagious, exposing them and their families, is not respectful or good for the larger community.
Right, I mean, it's all well and good to cry public health, and I can't really argue with that. But at many companies, the culture is such that calling in sick is the Call of Shame and if you're doing it once a month, even once every other month, with your own children, it becomes that much harder to make the call for yourself. Many of us on this board are probably exempt, but plenty of workers are paid hourly and that's another consideration; they don't show up, they don't get paid. I just feel like anyone dragging her ass into work with the flu probably has a damn good reason.

Selfie made it to the dictionary this year. Just sayin'. (then again so did twerk I guess. And badassery according to Time magazine, I have not even heard that word before.) I don't use selfie b/c I don't take them but I'll judge the ppl who post them b/c those who do tend to do it all.the.time. I used to have a FB friend who posted them constantly but they were always full body shots w/ the one hand on the hip & legs crossed at the ankles.... it was so ridiculous it was just comical after awhile b/c it was constant. Now that I think about it maybe that isn't technically a selfie, it was just a picture of herself taken by someone else. No matter. Still ridiculous.
I'm one of those unfortunate people who gets every bug going around. On top of that, I have heart disease and the fatigue from that can really get to me. I am the rare person who ends up using all my sick days. I also have to use them for my son. So, especially toward the end of the year when my sick days are very limited, I drag myself to work. I never know when my son will get sick and I have to save days for that.
I do judge someone who comes to work and doesn't at least try to stop the spread of their illness (no handshakes, wipe down phones, cough into their elbow, etc.)
Hm. I don't really judge people who come into work sick. I just don't care much unless they are touching all my stuff.
I judge the hell out of people who don't turn right on red when it IS allowed (after a complete stop of course), and just sit there until the light turns green.
Don't forget teens in Halloween hoodies, @privacywanted! Also legitimate receivers of the bad candy.
In our neighborhood, we not only get the teenagers, but also the parents with their kids who are carrying pillowcases for candy. Shameless.
Dressed in street clothes?
Yep, in street clothes. Apparently the feel like they should be rewarded for walking their children around. Sometimes in costume also, but even then, I don't think it's appropriate.
I judge parents that trick or treat with their infant and expect me to hand out candy to them.
Why??? Babies in costumes are so cute!!! I'll gladly give out a piece of candy for that. And yes I took both of my babies out trick or treating.
Babies may be cute, but unless I know you I don't really care about how adorable your LO looks in a costume. And since the baby shouldn't / can't eat the candy , I don't feel like giving a piece to the parent who can buy their own Snickers. This is why DH&I have a "bad candy" bowl.
Ha! I do this too. There's the crap candy like candy corns, whoppers, and other candy I personally dislike that I give to the people with babies or annoying teenagers that I don't want TP'ing my house. Lol doesnt work though because my house and car got egged on Halloween one year. Little shits!
I judge people who think they know everything about being grown up and try to tell me how to run my house, raise my baby etc, when they still live at home with mom and dad. Really get your own place, get married and have your own baby then get back to me.
I also judge people who don't use turn signals. They are put on a vehicle for a reason, they save lives use them it's not that complicated/hard your hand is already up there on the wheel.

Especially when you are waiting for them to pass so you can turn left and then they turn onto the road you're waiting on. Hey dumbass, I could've made that turn if you had your signal on! You saw me sitting here waiting on you!

?????!!!!!??!!
This is the most bizarre thing I have ever heard of.
This happens in my neighborhood, too. I don't judge because I think most of these people are actually hungry. There is a lot of food insecurity in my city.

I judge people who text and drive.
I will judge right along with you on this.

But I am not 30 yet, so maybe you won't judge me
Ugh, yes! I hate all that crap!

I would say I was out of candy. That is ridiculous!
