As humans, we all have a tendency to make snap judgments about others, often based on superficial observations or preconceived notions. While it’s important to avoid harsh or unfair judgments, we can’t help but notice certain behaviors or traits that make us secretly judge others.
A user asked the forum, What’s something you secretly judge people for? Here are the common responses.
NAMING THEIR KIDS
“What they named their kids.”
PEOPLE CRYING IN FRONT OF CAMERAS
“People crying in front of the camera and posting it on social media.”
PEOPLE WHO ARE CUTTING IN LINES
“People who cut in lines.”
NOT RETURNING SHOPPING CARTS
“I don’t like people who don’t return their shopping carts, but I never say anything.”
PEOPLE ARE BAD AT DRIVING
“Bad driving. No turn signal, tailgating, treating the drive like a race.”
PEOPLE CARRYING A LOUDSPEAKER
“Anyone who carries a loudspeaker or boombox blasting out their music playlist in public.”
SELFISH BEHAVIOR
“Being a selfish, disconnected, neglectful parent who complains about being a parent even though they don’t do jack for their kids.”
FILMING VIDEOS
“When people do good for others and video it to put online.
“I get that Aristotle says that the greatest good is 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 how much a good person they are, are rarely a good person once you scratch past the thin mask.”
LETTING THEIR KIDS RUIN THINGS IN STORES AND RESTAURANTS
“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 eight-year-old kept hitting him as hard as she could, and he didn’t do anything for fear that it would cause drama.”
MAKING POLITICS MAJOR PART OF THEIR LIFE
“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.”
PARENTS NOT FEEDING THEIR CHILDREN GOOD FOOD
“Fat parents are stuffing their young children with bad food.”
POOR PARENTING
“Poor parenting in public. Keep your toxic garbage out of the public. Preferably, not at all.”
ASKING SILLY QUESTIONS
“Asking questions, they would know the answer to if they used their brains for two seconds.”
PUTTING TATTOOS ON THEIR FACE
“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.”
FEELING SUPERIOR
“Those who feel superior to others when they don’t indulge in junk food or television.”
NOT BEING ON TIME
“Not being able to be on time. I don’t mean running late every once in a while. I’m talking about people who literally cannot bring themselves to be on time ever for anything. Get up earlier, set a timer, do something to fix it, or stop apologizing for being late because you clearly aren’t sorry.”
DOG WITHOUT A LEASH
“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. You don’t deserve a dog if you don’t understand why or still think it doesn’t apply to you.”
OBESITY
“Being obese. Used to be 280-300 pounds. The judge might be the wrong word, but I more strongly empathize and wish I could help, eventually making me angry. It’s not very rational, especially because I know exactly how it happens. I just wish these people realized what a better quality of life is available to them. Especially younger children, in those cases, I do judge the parents.”
NOT LETTING YOU FINISH
“When someone constantly tries to finish your sentences for you. Especially when they, in fact, do not do it correctly.”
INCORRECT GRAMMAR
“How they speak. When people consistently use incorrect grammar, I can’t help but feel like they’re not that intelligent.”
CONSTANTLY TALKING ABOUT THEIR RELIGION
“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.”
BEING RUDE TO SERVICE PROVIDERS
“If they are rude to service providers.”
TAKING SELFIES DAILY
“Daily selfies. Makes me cringe. Okay, we get it; you think you look cute….again.”
