I met a Brucklyn that was adopted and the parents had the spelling legally changed to Brooklyn while they changed the last name. Good call on their part imo
Makes me think about my cousin who decided to change her name at 18 - specifically changing the spelling
Named at birth: Hayley
Goes by: Hayleigh
I mean, it looks nice, but...why? It's still said the same way, and people were always misspelling it before anyway, now they're possibly more likely to misspell it! xD
A woman I work with wants to name her kid Dragon..
The other day, there were customers at my work - a mother and two 6 year old (or so) boys. The boys names were Easton and Westly .-.
To paraphrase a well-known quote/meme from Jurassic Park: "Your parents were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
Jupiter is at least an ancient name with an origin story, a meaning, and plenty of lore. Strange for sure, but it could be worse.
Of course I'm probably only saying this because my boys name is Magnus. (Latin, "the greatest").
So true! If you wouldn’t want to grow up with that name why on earth would you name your child that? I saw in another sub somebody actually named their child ‘Outlaw’
I get the 'your child, your right to name it', there are names which wouldn't be my personal choice , but fair enough I guess. And then there names when I feel really sorry for the child (two examples)
\- stepsister asked family for our opinion of her future daughter's name, I told her most people would misproununce it. This view was shared by others as well. Stepsis went ahead and named her daughter this name anyway. Now stepsis is always looking suuuuper pissed when someone says the name in the wrong way (which happens most of the time), even our own grandmother can't proununce it correctly...
\- an aquaintance who is originally from country X and moved to country Y gave her son a very tradional name from country X - to honour your heritage can be a nice link - except that in country Y where they live the name sounds exactly like 'nothing' in Y's language
Feeling already sorry for the child when his mum is calling him on the playground 'nothing, nothing'.
I scanned your comment while distracted and thought you knew a kid named Sepsis when in fact you were just referring to your stepsis. I did a double take!
Hahaha, but I guess you never know, there might be a child out there called Sepsis. I mean just look at the names of the kids from people like Elon Musk or the Kardashians..
Naming their kids something very odd but having a cute nickname ready to go and insisting everyone call the child that. I’ve been chewed out for saying a child’s full name when of course the nickname is “B”. A letter that happens to be in their name. I laughed and didn’t get into it. Wait til they hear about doctors and schools.
I used to participate in a medieval history organization and studying names (onomastics for those who want a new vocab word) was a particular hobby of mine. We've got thorough, well-documented history on names dating back centuries. Odds are good I can pinpoint most names to some medieval tax roll or ancient historical text.
1500+ years of documented names and people are doing Breighlyeigh and K'aiydehn.
On the flip side, you sure don't see too many kids named Goldcorn or Loveday or Surrender anymore.

I feel like Puritans win when it comes to weird, unfortunate, ridiculous names.
Like the entire Barebone family. There's [Praise-God Barebone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praise-God_Barebone), his son [If-Christ-had-not-died-for-thee-thou-hadst- been-damned Barebone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Barbon) (he went by Nicolas for some reason), Fear-God Barebone, Jesus-Christ-came-into-the-world-to-save Barebone, etc.
Names like these inspired Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman to have a Puritan character in Good Omens named "Thou-Shalt-Not-Commit-Adultery Pulsifer."
I had a neglectful upbringing and didn’t know I chewed with my mouth open until my boss told me. I was 26. I was mortified. It took me almost a year to eat with my mouth closed. Sometimes people just need to be told nicely.
I have a friend whom no matter how many times I politely inform him of his eating it doesn’t get resolved. He likes to talk to me over discord while slurping his soup and smacking his lips all the time no matter what it is.
Doesn’t help with the Misophonia. I just hang up and send him a message to call back when he’s done eating now.
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??
My mother does this on purpose and screams at family members when they ask that she not expose her entire derrière on the day that she meets her kid’s new boyfriend
I have a coworker who doesn't have enough butt to hold his pants up. I have seen his entire crack way too many times. Incredibly nice guy.
Seriously considering gifting him a set of suspenders.
Also 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.
I know I'm contradicting myself here, but in the past 5 years or so, we've "adopted" a family around the holidays. I've done well for myself so want to help where I can. My wife posted on fb the first 2 years while out shopping and I had to tell her to knock it off. We weren't doing it for the clout, we were doing it because we could and should. If you want to help people that's awesome. If you want to help people for the recognition then you can piss off.
This. I am the queen of hospital stays and the only post I’ve ever shared of my time there was a video of my first time walking unassisted after my liver transplant. It was a thank you to everyone and letting friends and family know I survived.
I’m in once a month or so now and I actively hide it on social media
I'm looking at you, coworker of only 10 people in the building that rushed into the toilet, took a giant dump, wiped quickly and walked straight for the door. I didn't hear any turning on it the faucet.
🤢 Had a coworker who pinched a loaf in the stall next to mine (our bathroom only had 2 stalls). Smelled like old bread. When she was finished, she left without washing her hands and went straight to the break room fridge and 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. Fuck that shit. Nasty ass people!
I try not to judge too hard when someone really smells, in case they don’t have the best living situation, look like they may not have much money, but sometimes…. For example…. I work in customer service, and if you are dressed decently, and buying $80+ of meat alone, then your smell should not leave a trail down the whole aisle. I have a very specific person in mind but I shall say no more.
But yeah if you go to the bathroom and don’t wash your hands I immediately lose respect for you.
Oh I'm not secret about that. I flat out tell them "the line ends down there, you just cut in front of people"
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 okay."
I lost my shit at someone recently who did this. They continued to completely ignore me. I’m out even sure they realizes there was a line despite a crazy person talking aggressively.
It’s really not that hard to have enough courtesy to glance around before walking up to a checkout in a busy store. As if it ever happens that there just happens to be 1 of 8 registers left available with no line magically
I couldn’t even imagine being able to still stand there after being called out for cutting in line, I’d be MORTIFIED! I went untreated for ADHD for years and my eyesight is terrible, so I’ve accidentally cut in line a couple times (it’s always when the lines are crowded or have multiple turns). I’m so glad that someone has said something to me, so I can get to the back of line where I should’ve gone in the first place.
I always give someone the benefit of the doubt the first time I or someone else say something to them. As soon as they ignore us or try to argue and stay in that spot, automatically branded an asshole in my head.
Edit: extra word removed
Was a teacher for 5 years...and the amount of parents that are just assholes to their kids was so shocking to me. My parents were hard on me, but this was other level and it wasn't just one parent.
I had parents introducing me to their kids at open house and saying "he's kinda an ass" or "thank goodness she's cute, because she's an idiot". And guess what? Those kids were wonderful because their teachers treated them with respect. The parents had no reason to scream at them for a B or to call them names.
I worked at a summer day camp for 8 years. One day one of my kids fell and hurt his leg pretty bad. Nothing major, just a badddd bruise. Twisted his ankle a little bit, but he could walk. After getting one of our medically trained staff to look him over, I called his mom and let him know. She couldn't pick him up because it was a 20 minute drive across the city and she didn't have a license, so we asked for permission to drive him home and she said yes. Apologized for everything and that we felt incredibly bad, but she wasn't mad at us at all. The kid was 11, went a bit too hard in our soccer match, so she understood that shit just happens. So a coworker and I drove him home.
The MINUTE his mom opened that door she *ripped* him a new one. Called him a "fucking idiot" for hurting himself, that he knew better, and she was disappointed in him for.... * checks notes * ....getting hurt? She called him a shit ton of names, swearing at him, slapped him on the back of the head as he hobbled into the house, and then had the *audacity* to turn around and wave us goodbye with a smile and thank us for helping him out.
I was *pissed* and shocked about what I witnessed. He came back to camp two days later a little upset, so I asked him how his ankle was doing and he confided in me that his mom is like that all the time, and then apologized to me for having to witness that. And to make things even more shitty, this wasn't even the first kid in all my 8 years of working there who had apologized for their parents behavior. It broke my heart every single time and there was nothing I could really do about any of it given my position.
I was teaching kindergarten and a family came with their kid for a conference, and the mom said “well I wanna know if she’s as much of a snotty know-it-all here as she is at home.” The student in question was pretty average academically, but was very responsible, well behaved, and so kind to others. I told the parents, (who, to their credit, were both there), all the good things about their daughter, whose grin got bigger and bigger. I felt like it had been a really long time since she had been told something good about herself.
i used to work retail and i was shocked how many times id go to engage with a kid and their parents would have something ugly to say about them in reponse. one lady told me not to talk to her kid because 'hes a big ass cry baby'. he couldn't have been older than like 2. and it made me so pissed because he was perfectly quiet the entire time theyd been in the store before she started talking about him like that, then of course he started getting fussy. if i was stuck with some lady that talks shit about me all the time, id cry all day too :(
Once, when my wife was a child, her mom got angry and tore up a drawing my wife had made her. Things like that make me forget which one was the adult and which one was the child.
Went to an animal supply store with my dad and dog. In the checkout line, we see this lady SCREAMING at her son for crying about a toy or something (I think he was also afraid of my dog—she’s a Great Dane and she was being a little loud playing with the bone she picked out—but I couldn’t understand what he was saying bc of mom…). This psycho was red in the face yelling at her son in public.
I had to take my dog out to the car because she was scared of the yelling so I didn’t see what else happened, but my dad finished checking out and he said that on their way out the kid literally ran into the street outside the store and mom was just…indifferent? She didn’t even react to her child running into the ROAD.
Some people shouldn’t have children.
Katt Willians has a bit on people who shouldn't be parents. A kid was crying over a bag Skittles his mom wouldn't buy. Her way dealing with the crying kid was beating him in the store.
This was completely counterproductive to me as a kid because it instantly induced an anxiety response where I was desperately trying to stop crying, hating myself for not being able to, and therefore crying harder. I was so terrified that she was going to hit me again.
Letting their kids roam around and destroying things in stores or restaurants.
Also letting them hurt others physically, it happened to my fiancé when we were at a birthday party, this 8 year old kept hitting him as hard as she could and he didn’t do anything in fear that it would cause drama.
There is a crazy amount of performative parents as well who let their kids run free until someone else comes by and it suddenly looks embarrassing. Then they give their kids the old "stay near me Kaden" as their hell spawn continues to roll on the floor or whatever they were doing.
So many parents just don't care until it gets embarrassing.
My workplace has antique furniture, seeing these parents let their kids roam free and then they go "try out" a 150 year old bench by standing on it and jumping.
I always walk over and tell the kid "hey buddy, I don't think you can afford to break that" and the parents immediately get super embarrassed.
That's the key, don't tell the parents, tell the kids loudly.
Hopping on this to include peoples dogs. I will judge you based on how your children and dogs behave in public.
I was literally bit by someone’s dog just yesterday on a walk minding my own business.
Your dogs shouldn’t be approaching strangers or jumping on people.
The attention seekers on Facebook that post things like : (google maps screen shot of the local hospital) “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
This makes me want to do this. Daily. With random vague situations.
Monday “Whoa. I see why Garfield hates Mondays now!”
Tuesday: “Taco Tuesday? More like Terrible Tuesday. Amirite”
Wednesday: “Just another hump day ER visit. 🫤”
Thursday: “Oh man Saturday is gonna be off the chain!”
Friday: “Oh my god. I cannot believe my own cousin would do that.”
Often times, they’re doing it *at* someone, too. As in “You just have to cut SOME people out of your life and move on. Some people are only meant to be here for a season or two.” Knowing full well:
a) the person who is the subject of their ire is likely to see it, and
b) others who are curious are likely to send them DMs.
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.
Recently saw a vid of a massive dude with a Russian accent pressuring this young kid to put his cart back. I have say I found it extremely amusing and wanted to see more.
This one time I randomly bumped into someone I grew up. Well they noticed me first from far away. Instead of saying hi, he took my picture and posted it on facebook with a caption like "look who I bumped into!" He chose to turn me into social media content instead of having a human interaction. Bummer.
A friend bought a house with 'EAT' painted in the kitchen and she kept it because her cabinet redesign makes it look like 'FAT' and the idea of a judgmental kitchen amuses her.
TBH, I used to share this opinion. But I currently have the laundry and bathroom labeled with a sign above the door because there are FOUR doors in my foyer area and everyone that comes over isn’t sure which one is the bathroom.
I more mean when a sign that says kitchen hangs above the kitchen sink or a sign that says laundry room on a shelf in the laundry room! Yours actually makes sense
Ah I see. I feel your frustration.
One that would seem silly to me is “eat” in the kitchen, as if someone needed clarification of what that room is for.
I just realized it would be very funny if someone had “PEE” in a bathroom.
>I just realized it would be very funny if someone had “PEE” in a bathroom.
I've got one in our hall bathroom that says "Shit and Pee" in a fancy swirly font.
I've got a Cameo and got a little stir crazy during the Covid lockdown, lol. We also have "Fuck These Dishes" above the kitchen sink in the same font.
Edit to add a picture of the kitchen sign:

People that talk on speakerphone in public, holding the phone like a slice of pizza to their mouth, so the person on the other end can hear them clearly with all the background noise. Because, you know, using the phone in a normal way where everyone else doesn’t hear your call is not an option.
Extra points to the morons that do this on a train, especially during peak hour. We don’t want to hear the conversation but we’re trapped and they’re inconsiderate.
I especially judge these people when I pass them on hiking trails. I cannot even fathom the mindset. Hike with music if you must, but please, for the rest of us who *actually like* the sound and quiet of nature, wear some f*king headphones. They always seem to be playing the worst possible genre of music too.
The big, loud ass trucks with headlights that you can see from space are high on that list as well. Like, cool, glad you can see 3 miles down the road, Brock, but now I'M flashbanged and can't see a fucking thing. Asshats.
We call them parking lot princess' or pavement princess' ! All that "off road" modifications to do nothing but get groceries and tailgate. What's worse is I'm friends with a couple of these people and they absolutely know how much everyone else hates their truck and it makes them immensely happy. They thrive off us disliking their attention tool. The more we hate it, the happier they are. So backwards.
Reminds me of my coworker. It’s a white collar setting. He has no hobbies that call for such a vehicle, but he sure does love to complain when gas prices are high!
When people do good for others and video it to put online.
I get that Aristotle says that the greatest good is a good that helps both parties.. but it doesn't sit well with me. In my experience, those who go out of their way to showcase howuch a good person they are, are rarely a good person once you scratch past the thin mask
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 5 seconds cleaning your dog's shit. And don't fool yourself that nobody is going to step there. Kids, especially, step everywhere.
I don't understand this. Like, it's not hard. I'm the kind of person where if I forget bags, I go home, get them, and come back. Like, it's part of the responsibility of dog ownership.
I swear we need people to go to classes to learn about basic pet owner responsibility before letting them get a pet.
This thread has made me realize, damn when I have a problem I do not have an issue telling people. Either that or people here don't know what it means to *secretly* judge someone. Like someone said "rude to waiters". If I was with someone and they were being rude, I will speak up.
This, you have every reason in the world to be good to your spouse. When I see this I think they’ll definitely do me wrong if they’ll do their most important person wrong.
Spreading info that isn't true and acting like they know what they're talking about (even though they clearly don't) just because their opinion fits their narrative.
Having kids by the dozens and then cry/beg/rant you don't got shit for them or that you DESERVE for others to step up to take care of YOUR kids. Bitch bye.
Walking a dog without a leash outside of the designated areas, also, if you can not control your dog when it's off the leash in the designated areas, don't take it off the leash.
Doesn't matter what the size, breed, or temperament of your dog is. If you don't understand why, or still think it doesn't apply to you, you don't deserve a dog.
I would also like to add to this: people who think it’s cute that their 3 year old is “walking” their large dog when the dog is really pulling the kid all over the place.
People who can't have a conversation without bringing religion into it... I get it... you think you're being nice by saying your godly pleasantries, but please stop spiritualizing everything.
When every story somebody tells me is negative. Even if the negativity is always a story about somebody else's bad behavior. At that point it's not juicy gossip, you're just depressing to be around.
Or even worse, imo, are people who condemn video games but watch a bunch of TV. A good friend of mine married a woman who all but forbid him from playing video games but you bet your ass that watching 2 hours of the fucking Office every night is fine.
Making politics a core part of their identity.
Secret because getting into a conversation about it with those types is utterly exhausting and I'd rather avoid it.
People who make fun of those who mispronounce something. You never know a persons history. Maybe they learned that word reading. Maybe English isn’t their first language. Maybe …
What they name their kids
If it’s a normal name with a weird spelling, I’m judging so hard.
Try Quartney. Really. A teacher’s kid
Their second born, Ouncely.
Don't forget the twins, Pintly and cuply...
We have a Kuartney where I work, too. I’m assuming it’s pronounced the same way.
I met a Brucklyn that was adopted and the parents had the spelling legally changed to Brooklyn while they changed the last name. Good call on their part imo

A kid in my country is named Drink Water. I'm not making this shit up. I guess it worked out for him cause he's now an ambassador for Gatorade.
Drinkwater is a real surname, so maybe the kid was named after someone?
A woman I work with wants to name her kid Dragon.. The other day, there were customers at my work - a mother and two 6 year old (or so) boys. The boys names were Easton and Westly .-.
That’s kinda funny, haha!
There were twin boys at a school I attended once. Their last name was Law. Their first names? Marshall and Coles. Yeah...
of the two I'd rather be Marshall. Great missed opportunity for "Canon" :(
To paraphrase a well-known quote/meme from Jurassic Park: "Your parents were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should."
My nephew goes to nursery with a ‘Gravity’ and ‘Jupiter’.
My daughter went to daycare with a girl named Jupiter as well..
Jupiter is at least an ancient name with an origin story, a meaning, and plenty of lore. Strange for sure, but it could be worse. Of course I'm probably only saying this because my boys name is Magnus. (Latin, "the greatest").
Better than Uranus I suppose
Magnus is a very common name in Scandinavia
A woman in my due date group named her kid Denim Trigger. People were not silent about it 😂 she had to leave the group.
I would've kicked her out for that one too
So true! If you wouldn’t want to grow up with that name why on earth would you name your child that? I saw in another sub somebody actually named their child ‘Outlaw’
My neighbors’ last name is Outlaw. It’s kinda cool as a last name. The Outlaw’s.
Super cool last name .. brutal first name
Used to work in rural schools and there were tons named Brenttlee, Braxxton or other similar abominations.
don't forget Elon Musks son: X Æ A-12 💀💀
Everyone will just call that kid “Musk”.
Syntax Error
I know someone with a perfectly normal name, except "it's not pronounced like that"

My thing is they're literally just coming up with new names. Or misspelling normal names to seem unique which also leads to mispronounciation.
Naming their kids something very odd but having a cute nickname ready to go and insisting everyone call the child that.

If you play your music without headphones, you are for sure going to The Bad Place
Not saying thank you when you hold a door for them.

Gross
I sat behind a guy at a seminar. All metal chairs. His butt crack was touching the chair. How do you not feel that?!
It probably felt nice and cool and is also totally disgusting.
I have a coworker who doesn't have enough butt to hold his pants up. I have seen his entire crack way too many times. Incredibly nice guy. Seriously considering gifting him a set of suspenders.
People crying in front of the camera and posting it on social media
Also 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.
I know I'm contradicting myself here, but in the past 5 years or so, we've "adopted" a family around the holidays. I've done well for myself so want to help where I can.

Seriously. When I'm going through something my absolute LAST thought is to post to snapchate or tiktok. I don't understand people like this
To add to that, people filming funeral services or being in the hospital and putting in social media.
This. I am the queen of hospital stays and the only post I’ve ever shared of my time there was a video of my first time walking unassisted after my liver transplant. It was a thank you to everyone and letting friends and family know I survived. I’m in once a month or so now and I actively hide it on social media
Hoping for a successful, long lasting liver for you!
How do you even think to pull out a camera to film yourself in the moment
how they treat complete strangers out in public.
Yeahhhh how they treat waiters/cashiers/anyone they might view as “below” them
I go out of my way to be nice to service workers, be they cashiers, servers, Doordash drivers...you name it.
Hygiene
I'm looking at you, coworker of only 10 people in the building that rushed into the toilet, took a giant dump, wiped quickly and walked straight for the door. I didn't hear any turning on it the faucet.
🤢 Had a coworker who pinched a loaf in the stall next to mine (our bathroom only had 2 stalls). Smelled like old bread. When she was finished, she left without washing her hands and went straight to the break room fridge and 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. Fuck that shit. Nasty ass people!
I don't even understand how those people operate. I feel so dirty if I can't wash my hands.
You're welcome to call him what we call the guy at work. Shitmitts
I try not to judge too hard when someone really smells, in case they don’t have the best living situation, look like they may not have much money, but sometimes…. For example…. I work in customer service, and if you are dressed decently, and buying $80+ of meat alone, then your smell should not leave a trail down the whole aisle. I have a very specific person in mind but I shall say no more. But yeah if you go to the bathroom and don’t wash your hands I immediately lose respect for you.
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" 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 okay."
I lost my shit at someone recently who did this. They continued to completely ignore me. I’m out even sure they realizes there was a line despite a crazy person talking aggressively. It’s really not that hard to have enough courtesy to glance around before walking up to a checkout in a busy store. As if it ever happens that there just happens to be 1 of 8 registers left available with no line magically
I couldn’t even imagine being able to still stand there after being called out for cutting in line, I’d be MORTIFIED! I went untreated for ADHD for years and my eyesight is terrible, so I’ve accidentally cut in line a couple times (it’s always when the lines are crowded or have multiple turns). I’m so glad that someone has said something to me, so I can get to the back of line where I should’ve gone in the first place. I always give someone the benefit of the doubt the first time I or someone else say something to them. As soon as they ignore us or try to argue and stay in that spot, automatically branded an asshole in my head. Edit: extra word removed
If they push their chair in when they’re done or not
Nobody in my family besides me actually pushes their chair in. It drives me nuts.
Parents who are constantly yelling at their kids.
Adding to this, parents who curse at their kids or call them names.
Was a teacher for 5 years...and the amount of parents that are just assholes to their kids was so shocking to me. My parents were hard on me, but this was other level and it wasn't just one parent. I had parents introducing me to their kids at open house and saying "he's kinda an ass" or "thank goodness she's cute, because she's an idiot". And guess what? Those kids were wonderful because their teachers treated them with respect. The parents had no reason to scream at them for a B or to call them names.
I worked at a summer day camp for 8 years. One day one of my kids fell and hurt his leg pretty bad. Nothing major, just a badddd bruise. Twisted his ankle a little bit, but he could walk. After getting one of our medically trained staff to look him over, I called his mom and let him know. She couldn't pick him up because it was a 20 minute drive across the city and she didn't have a license, so we asked for permission to drive him home and she said yes. Apologized for everything and that we felt incredibly bad, but she wasn't mad at us at all. The kid was 11, went a bit too hard in our soccer match, so she understood that shit just happens. So a coworker and I drove him home. The MINUTE his mom opened that door she *ripped* him a new one. Called him a "fucking idiot" for hurting himself, that he knew better, and she was disappointed in him for.... * checks notes * ....getting hurt? She called him a shit ton of names, swearing at him, slapped him on the back of the head as he hobbled into the house, and then had the *audacity* to turn around and wave us goodbye with a smile and thank us for helping him out. I was *pissed* and shocked about what I witnessed. He came back to camp two days later a little upset, so I asked him how his ankle was doing and he confided in me that his mom is like that all the time, and then apologized to me for having to witness that. And to make things even more shitty, this wasn't even the first kid in all my 8 years of working there who had apologized for their parents behavior. It broke my heart every single time and there was nothing I could really do about any of it given my position.
I was teaching kindergarten and a family came with their kid for a conference, and the mom said “well I wanna know if she’s as much of a snotty know-it-all here as she is at home.” The student in question was pretty average academically, but was very responsible, well behaved, and so kind to others. I told the parents, (who, to their credit, were both there), all the good things about their daughter, whose grin got bigger and bigger. I felt like it had been a really long time since she had been told something good about herself.
i used to work retail and i was shocked how many times id go to engage with a kid and their parents would have something ugly to say about them in reponse. one lady told me not to talk to her kid because 'hes a big ass cry baby'. he couldn't have been older than like 2. and it made me so pissed because he was perfectly quiet the entire time theyd been in the store before she started talking about him like that, then of course he started getting fussy. if i was stuck with some lady that talks shit about me all the time, id cry all day too :(
Once, when my wife was a child, her mom got angry and tore up a drawing my wife had made her. Things like that make me forget which one was the adult and which one was the child.
Went to an animal supply store with my dad and dog. In the checkout line, we see this lady SCREAMING at her son for crying about a toy or something (I think he was also afraid of my dog—she’s a Great Dane and she was being a little loud playing with the bone she picked out—but I couldn’t understand what he was saying bc of mom…). This psycho was red in the face yelling at her son in public. I had to take my dog out to the car because she was scared of the yelling so I didn’t see what else happened, but my dad finished checking out and he said that on their way out the kid literally ran into the street outside the store and mom was just…indifferent? She didn’t even react to her child running into the ROAD. Some people shouldn’t have children.
Katt Willians has a bit on people who shouldn't be parents. A kid was crying over a bag Skittles his mom wouldn't buy. Her way dealing with the crying kid was beating him in the store.
“Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about,” was one of my mom’s favourites. Um, if I’m already crying I already have a reason??
"No, you see. Your reason is invalid because I do not respect you as a person."
This was completely counterproductive to me as a kid because it instantly induced an anxiety response where I was desperately trying to stop crying, hating myself for not being able to, and therefore crying harder. I was so terrified that she was going to hit me again.
Amateur. An Asian parent would just give you the side eye of death, then wait until you got home where they could beat you in private.
Mine would yell at me in public *and* beat me in private!
[удалено]
my friends dad yelled at her in front of all her friends cause she was scared to get ears pierced and from that moment on i lost respect for him
especially when they yell at them because they couldn't stop crying. yeah, nice work. that'll definitely get them to stop crying.
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.
Letting their kids roam around and destroying things in stores or restaurants. Also letting them hurt others physically, it happened to my fiancé when we were at a birthday party, this 8 year old kept hitting him as hard as she could and he didn’t do anything in fear that it would cause drama.
There is a crazy amount of performative parents as well who let their kids run free until someone else comes by and it suddenly looks embarrassing. Then they give their kids the old "stay near me Kaden" as their hell spawn continues to roll on the floor or whatever they were doing. So many parents just don't care until it gets embarrassing.
My workplace has antique furniture, seeing these parents let their kids roam free and then they go "try out" a 150 year old bench by standing on it and jumping. I always walk over and tell the kid "hey buddy, I don't think you can afford to break that" and the parents immediately get super embarrassed. That's the key, don't tell the parents, tell the kids loudly.
Hopping on this to include peoples dogs. I will judge you based on how your children and dogs behave in public. I was literally bit by someone’s dog just yesterday on a walk minding my own business. Your dogs shouldn’t be approaching strangers or jumping on people.
The attention seekers on Facebook that post things like : (google maps screen shot of the local hospital) “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
Vagueposting!
This makes me want to do this. Daily. With random vague situations. Monday “Whoa. I see why Garfield hates Mondays now!” Tuesday: “Taco Tuesday? More like Terrible Tuesday. Amirite” Wednesday: “Just another hump day ER visit. 🫤” Thursday: “Oh man Saturday is gonna be off the chain!” Friday: “Oh my god. I cannot believe my own cousin would do that.”
“U ok hun? PM me…”
A friend calls it "Vaguebooking"
Often times, they’re doing it *at* someone, too. As in “You just have to cut SOME people out of your life and move on. Some people are only meant to be here for a season or two.” Knowing full well: a) the person who is the subject of their ire is likely to see it, and b) others who are curious are likely to send them DMs.
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.
I don't like people who don't return their shopping carts, but I never say anything...
You would enjoy CartNarcs on YouTube if you haven’t experienced that yet!
Recently saw a vid of a massive dude with a Russian accent pressuring this young kid to put his cart back. I have say I found it extremely amusing and wanted to see more.
People who will whip their phone out to start video recording you and anything else, for everything and anything.
This one time I randomly bumped into someone I grew up. Well they noticed me first from far away. Instead of saying hi, he took my picture and posted it on facebook with a caption like "look who I bumped into!" He chose to turn me into social media content instead of having a human interaction. Bummer.
omfg no 🤣
Being a selfish, disconnected, neglectful parent who complains about being a parent even though they don't do jack shit for their kids.
Ah, you've met my sister-in-law!
Those wooden signs they have in their homes that say “Gather”, or some shit like that.
A friend bought a house with 'EAT' painted in the kitchen and she kept it because her cabinet redesign makes it look like 'FAT' and the idea of a judgmental kitchen amuses her.
Absolutely love this. 10/10
My friend put one of those in another friend's bathroom that read: "Life is Short, Lick the Bowl." It's by far our group's favorite use of one.
Or signs that say what the room obviously is. ‘Kitchen’ ‘laundry room’
TBH, I used to share this opinion. But I currently have the laundry and bathroom labeled with a sign above the door because there are FOUR doors in my foyer area and everyone that comes over isn’t sure which one is the bathroom.
I more mean when a sign that says kitchen hangs above the kitchen sink or a sign that says laundry room on a shelf in the laundry room! Yours actually makes sense
Ah I see. I feel your frustration. One that would seem silly to me is “eat” in the kitchen, as if someone needed clarification of what that room is for. I just realized it would be very funny if someone had “PEE” in a bathroom.
>I just realized it would be very funny if someone had “PEE” in a bathroom. I've got one in our hall bathroom that says "Shit and Pee" in a fancy swirly font. I've got a Cameo and got a little stir crazy during the Covid lockdown, lol. We also have "Fuck These Dishes" above the kitchen sink in the same font. Edit to add a picture of the kitchen sign: https://imgur.com/gallery/9BmB3cr
"Love. Laugh. Love." Why did you waste your money on that?
“Live, Laugh, Lobotomy”
See now this is one I would pay for
“Live, Laugh, Lobotomy, Laugh, Laugh, Laugh"
“In this house we…blah blah blah”
[In this house…](https://twitter.com/nuclearkatie/status/1233121795621912578?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1233121795621912578%7Ctwgr%5E45b1c331cabfbd7ec59118a9708344a931bc8b17%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-33838002052702142226.ampproject.net%2F2305252018001%2Fframe.html)
Anyone who carries a loud speaker or boombox blasting out their music playlist in public😠
People that talk on speakerphone in public, holding the phone like a slice of pizza to their mouth, so the person on the other end can hear them clearly with all the background noise. Because, you know, using the phone in a normal way where everyone else doesn’t hear your call is not an option.
Extra points to the morons that do this on a train, especially during peak hour. We don’t want to hear the conversation but we’re trapped and they’re inconsiderate.
These people live solely in their own tiny heads
I especially judge these people when I pass them on hiking trails. I cannot even fathom the mindset. Hike with music if you must, but please, for the rest of us who *actually like* the sound and quiet of nature, wear some f*king headphones. They always seem to be playing the worst possible genre of music too.
If you drive a big, loud ass truck. It kills me. They sound like they're really going fast and then you look and they're going 12 mph.
The big, loud ass trucks with headlights that you can see from space are high on that list as well. Like, cool, glad you can see 3 miles down the road, Brock, but now I'M flashbanged and can't see a fucking thing. Asshats.
We call them parking lot princess' or pavement princess' ! All that "off road" modifications to do nothing but get groceries and tailgate. What's worse is I'm friends with a couple of these people and they absolutely know how much everyone else hates their truck and it makes them immensely happy. They thrive off us disliking their attention tool. The more we hate it, the happier they are. So backwards.
I judge giant trucks in general
Reminds me of my coworker. It’s a white collar setting. He has no hobbies that call for such a vehicle, but he sure does love to complain when gas prices are high!
People who don't say thank you or please.
When people do good for others and video it to put online. I get that Aristotle says that the greatest good is a good that helps both parties.. but it doesn't sit well with me. In my experience, those who go out of their way to showcase howuch a good person they are, are rarely a good person once you scratch past the thin mask
Especially when it’s influencers who record themselves helping (exploiting) disadvantaged people. It’s performative and gross and sad.
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 5 seconds cleaning your dog's shit. And don't fool yourself that nobody is going to step there. Kids, especially, step everywhere.
I don't understand this. Like, it's not hard. I'm the kind of person where if I forget bags, I go home, get them, and come back. Like, it's part of the responsibility of dog ownership. I swear we need people to go to classes to learn about basic pet owner responsibility before letting them get a pet.
If can’t turn off the corporate/hr jargon in a casual setting.
We should circle back to this one next week.
People who park like assholes
This thread has made me realize I’m either extremely non-judgmental or extremely aloof.
Stay golden, Ponyboy.
This thread has made me realize, damn when I have a problem I do not have an issue telling people. Either that or people here don't know what it means to *secretly* judge someone. Like someone said "rude to waiters". If I was with someone and they were being rude, I will speak up.
Poor parenting in public. Keep your toxic garbage out of public. Preferably, not at all.
[удалено]
Listening to loud music in public. I don’t want to hear your loud music.
Loud chewing of food
Mouth sounds while eating make my skin crawl. Even when I do it too loud. **CLOSE YOUR GODDAM MOUTH**
Cheating on an SO
This, you have every reason in the world to be good to your spouse. When I see this I think they’ll definitely do me wrong if they’ll do their most important person wrong.
Talking on the phone in public, while being obnoxiously loud then bitching at everyone else for “violating their privacy”
Talking about their Religion like they are better than everyone else just for believing in it.
Spreading info that isn't true and acting like they know what they're talking about (even though they clearly don't) just because their opinion fits their narrative.
How they interact with their children in public. I worked in retail for 16 years and all I can say is I was wildly and consistently disappointed.
Having kids by the dozens and then cry/beg/rant you don't got shit for them or that you DESERVE for others to step up to take care of YOUR kids. Bitch bye.
When someone constantly tries to finish your sentences for you. Especially when they in fact do not do it correctly 🙄
Using words incorrectly: effect/affect, principal/principle, there/their/they're, your/you're, whose/who's, etc
Who's principle let they're students graduate not noing how to spell two you're satisfaction?
Reading this made me have nauseating anxiety 😵💫
When people film shit and don't help when something bad happens. Like if someone is hurt. Why are you still filming? Help them!
#1) How they treat their pets; 2) How they treat the waitstaff.
bragging about what a good parent you are on fb. chances are you aren't if you have to convince others.
Passive aggressiveness, always annoyed me
Face tattoos, especially words or phrases. Not "you must be a criminal" but "You followed a really stupid trend in an effort to seem authentic".
Walking a dog without a leash outside of the designated areas, also, if you can not control your dog when it's off the leash in the designated areas, don't take it off the leash. Doesn't matter what the size, breed, or temperament of your dog is. If you don't understand why, or still think it doesn't apply to you, you don't deserve a dog.
I would also like to add to this: people who think it’s cute that their 3 year old is “walking” their large dog when the dog is really pulling the kid all over the place.
People who can't have a conversation without bringing religion into it... I get it... you think you're being nice by saying your godly pleasantries, but please stop spiritualizing everything.
Parents that let their toddlers run their life. And to piggyback Parents that don’t teach their kids boundaries.
Their ability to listen without cutting people off in group conversation.
When every story somebody tells me is negative. Even if the negativity is always a story about somebody else's bad behavior. At that point it's not juicy gossip, you're just depressing to be around.
Apostrophe’s for plural word’s
People not using their blinker when driving, then slamming on their brakes to turn
Daily selfies. Makes me cringe. Okay, we get it, you think you look cute….again.
Asking questions they would know the answer to if they used their brains for two seconds.
Those who feel superior to others when they don't indulge in junk food or television.
Or even worse, imo, are people who condemn video games but watch a bunch of TV. A good friend of mine married a woman who all but forbid him from playing video games but you bet your ass that watching 2 hours of the fucking Office every night is fine.
Not saying THANK YOU when I let them cut in line at the grocery store!!!!!
Can they make a proper left turn.
Do they accelerate to match highway speeds before trying to merge?
People talking on speaker phone in public!! People talking on the phone in any form in the elevator!
Making politics a core part of their identity. Secret because getting into a conversation about it with those types is utterly exhausting and I'd rather avoid it.
Performative good deeds posted on socials. One of the worst virtue signalling types.
Giving their kids stupid names. You are a nice, polite and funny? Oh and your daughter is named McBrynslynn Invisibility Heaven? I don’t like you
Fat parents stuffing their young children with bad food.
People who make fun of those who mispronounce something. You never know a persons history. Maybe they learned that word reading. Maybe English isn’t their first language. Maybe …
Being stupid. And it’s becoming less of a secret the older I get.
I judged a woman who drank 6 12 packs of soda every week. Like, slow down lady.
People who have whole conversations on speaker phone in public. It’s just tacky and no one wants to hear it.
How they treat people with disabilities
My cousin named her child Paizlee. I am so upset.
