As much as they might hate to admit it, some people can get pretty judgemental. And while a few might tell you exactly as it is, others are likely to keep their comments of disapproval to themselves. Or at least behind your back.
Redditor u/gotwire was curious to find out what’s something people secretly judge others for. They posed the question to the ‘Ask Reddit’ community and received plenty of answers, ranging from disapproving of one’s parenting style to judging people who wouldn’t clean up after their dog. Scroll down to find more of redditors’ replies and see what they simply can’t let slide without a comment—even if only to themselves.

Being over the top with any belief or affilliation they have.
You are a Christian? Cool with me, just don't shove your religion down my throat.
You came out as gay? Good for you. Don't want to hear about it all the time but not really a problem to me.
You like this politician but not the other? Okay, i don't know either of them so don't waste your breath explaining.
Vegan? Interesting choice, won't force you to eat anything you don't want, as long as you don't do the same to me.

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.

Not cleaning up after your dog. If you do this, I believe you to be an a*****e. 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 s**t. And don't fool yourself that nobody is going to step there. Kids, especially, step everywhere.

Saw a woman letting her dog poo on a path in a small wooded area immediately by a school where children play. I was walking my dog. So I challenged her about it 'and what's it got to do with you?' 🙄 Well, everything quite frankly! It has to do with everyone. No one should have to run the risk of stepping in dogs mess. I certainly don't want to! Outside a school and where children play?? Disgusting.

A good friend my whole life became born again and it’s so awkward and annoying when she brings up religion. And crazy things! My husband and I were having arguments a lot because “the devil was living in our house”. When she rides her horse she knows “Jesus is on the horse with her gripping her waist.” I see her less and less.

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.

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 s**t. Nasty people!

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 how much a good person they are, are rarely a good person once you scratch past the thin mask.

Some "Engrish" does make me laugh but mean mocking is not okay. While I might find a thing funny, I also keep in mind it is usually coming from a person who knows two or more languages and I appreciate the fact they happen to know mine. My other language is ASL and at times I've made stupid sign mistakes that changed the meaning of the sentence. We'd all have a good laugh and move on. I still remember asking a woman I liked how long she had been dead instead of how long she had been deaf. :)

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. ETA I have ADHD. Being on time is important to me because if I didn’t prioritize it, I’d be late all the time. You’re allowed to be offended by being judged for it, but people are also allowed to be frustrated by you always being late. Trying to manage symptoms is part of having a healthier relationship with yourself and your disorders, especially if you expect people to empathize with them. I don’t openly shame people for being late, which is why this was my answer to “secretly judging,” but neurotypical or not, when a person is consistently late and makes no changes to better the situation, it’s extremely frustrating for and hurts the people around them.

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.

Lorrie Pannullo 1 year ago
I'm disabled and park in handicap spaces. I always leave my cart by the parking spot (making sure it won't roll) because the cart acts as a walker and having it close to the parking spot is helpful. What I hate is people who park in handicap spots while waiting to pick up someone. If your car is in the spot, that spot isn't available.

Older people when they can’t control their anger. 30+ and unable to control your anger: throw fits, regularly get visibly angry, no coping skills, etc.

OmBoyGanesh 1 year ago
Emotional impulse control can be a result of learned behavior, but it’s usually a result of a larger psychological issue. Anger management barely addresses the behavior in a cognitive way. When stronger psychotherapy is needed to address core issues. DBT and medication are the answers. But yes, there are spoiled & entitled people out there who’ve been conditioned into thinking a tantrum will get them their way.

If their cat is an "outside cat". More likely to die early by getting hit by a car, eaten by a predator, or catching a disease or parasite. Also very harmful to the bird population.
Alex Luiz 1 year ago
This is a cultural difference. Here in the UK it is more normal to have a cat that lives indoors and can get in and out via a catflap than it is to have an indoor cat, although more and more people are starting to keep them in. When I went to get mine from the cat rescue,they required me to have outdoor access because it was considered cruel not to have it!

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.
DBear 1 year ago
Making sure that wherever they go they have to let everyone know what their political views are. The cashier at the grocery store or the guy behind the counter at the auto parts store doesn't need to know any of that. The same thing goes for employees. Expressing your views to me isn't part of your job description. So shut up and give me my change.

I know English isn't everyone's first language, and of course, exceptions are to be made for this. But if English is your first language, speaking it properly doesn't seem like too much to ask. Improper usage of a verb doesn't seem like an issue of regional dialect, as far as I know; an example of a regional dialect is how New Orleans/Louisianans use the term "making groceries" instead of saying "grocery shopping". I could be wrong: my specialty isn't linguistics. But in the workforce, etc., proper grammar is usually necessary. Why not use it all the time?

While I think people should do whatever they want to as long as it doesn't negatively impact anyone else (bad parking, listing to music in public without earbuds, etc.), I secretly judge people who get pets from breeders. Yes, I know people always have some excuse about allergies, or having always wanted x and such breed since they were a little kid, but there are soooooo many animals in shelters in need of homes.

Well better a breeder than a pet store (aka most likely a puppy mill)
