Judging others—it’s something that we all do, all the time. Whether we’re aware of it or entirely subconsciously, we’re constantly evaluating and interpreting the world around us. Making comments about people and situations in our heads. Checking how the world conforms to how we imagine it should be like. And frowning upon anyone who litters!
After being prompted to open up by redditor u/supercoliofy, internet users began sharing the things that make them silently judge people. Taking a deep dive into their comments is enlightening: we’ve judged people for similar things; we’ve done some of the things in this list that deserve judgment.
Read on for some silent judgment-gone-loud, upvote the posts you agree with, and drop on by the comment section to share your opinions, dear Pandas. Do bamboo thieves make you angry? Do you think people give other bears more recognition? We’re very interested to hear what makes you silently judge someone.
Bored Panda reached out to Lee Chambers, a Psychologist and Wellbeing Consultant, to talk about why we judge other people, as well as what role this plays in our lives.
"Judging others is something that we as humans do, both consciously and automatically, and there are a number of reasons why we do it. Comically, we are often told as children not to judge others and have stories shared about how judging others can mean we upset them or lose opportunities to see what really lies behind our perception," he told Bored Panda. Scroll down for our interview with Lee!

I immediately judge you if you make fun of someone who's trying. I saw someone make fun of an overweight classmate despite the fact that he was doing diets, running, and exercising. He's putting an effort and you have no right to s**t on him.
Psychologist Lee, the founder of Essentialise Workplace Wellbeing and PhenomGames, revealed to Bored Panda some of the reasons why we judge other people.
"Sometimes, we judge others to feel superior ourselves, finding faults in others, highlighting them, and feeling better about ourselves in the process. Sometimes, we use it to work out where we fit in, recognizing how we want to be, where our aspirations lie, and how we don't want to become," he said.
"Sometimes, it's in response to our own flaws, and we attack others for what we don't like or don't see into ourselves. And on other occasions, it's to fit into a wider group who judge something or someone, and we conform and perform with the same judgment."

People who have no awareness of their surroundings when they're out in public.
It doesn't cost anything to wait your turn in a queue, hold a door open for someone, turn on your indicators 10 seconds earlier than you just did, or not block off the entire pavement because you want to hold hands with your husband / wife.
It's so selfish. Drives me mad just thinking about it.
Thank you for the gold, kind stranger.
#3
people who don't say please and thank you.
people who act like a d**k to service staff like cashiers and waiters.
people who generally show a lack of consideration to other people.
one thing my dad always told me: manners cost nothing.
According to Lee, being judgmental can be good and it "does have some benefits when used mindfully," however.
"It can help us to set goals, find alignment with our values, it can help us to build the self-awareness of others and it can boost our self-esteem," he told Bored Panda.
"Add to that it can also help us to make positive social choices, and it's understanding how and why we judge that gives us the ability to use it for our benefits instead of escaping our flaws or pulling others down."

OMG! YES! My OCD spikes out of control for things like this. End up getting panic attacks if I feel surrounded by too much of it😓
Far from everyone makes errors with malicious intent. Quite often, people aren’t even aware that they’re making a mistake. Or they might not think that something that elicits judgment (like parking wrong or being late to meet someone all the friggin’ time) is actually that big of a deal. It’s selfishness and we’ve all got that, just in varying amounts.
We know that being self-aware of our own flaws is difficult. For one, nobody likes thinking that they’re less than perfect. Besides, we don’t have the luxury of seeing our behavior from a different perspective. That’s why it’s important to speak up if you see someone constantly making the same mistakes.

This is a pretty unfair one. Let's consider a situation where a financially stable family had 7 children, because they could afford to have 7 children and wanted a big family. Then suddenly the parents lose their jobs due to some large scale event, their savings quickly wither away from normal bills and some unforeseen health issues and now they're living below the breadline and people are judging and saying "well if you're so damn poor you shouldn't have had so many kids".

Easy to say, but a lot of people don't have a choice. Reasons: They have no access to birth control. Their religion doesn't allow it/encourages procreation. Children/sons are seen as success or wealth. Children are needed to help with farming and earning money. Cultural and social expectations. The reason why most wealthy people have fewer children is because they have endless choices. Poor people frequently do not.

And pets and cars. I've seen many struggling families with 4 kids, 3 big dogs and a couple of cars of which only one actually works.
NsG 3 years ago
I'd actually say multiple pets while poor gets more judgement from me than kids. In some cases the kids were unplanned (through lack of access to birth control or insufficient education and no help towards options provided - I have a different set of judgements reserved for if this support is readily available) but pets are always optional. And you can often tell whether it's a case of circumstances resulting in financial change (and you don't get rid of family just because you're newly poor and pets are family), or if it's always been like that and they just don't think beyond the next day and how to feed all these extra mouths.

The earth provides everything we humans already need to exist, live, create, build, and thrive. People do not have to go without their needs being met or stop having kids. The issue is bigger than that. We are run by a system that controls our needs with money. Make no mistake about it, we do not have to go without because we already have what we all need as far as resources go to live. We will be denied basic human needs if we don't have enough money. Not because we aren't working or putting in enough effort. But because of a one sided corrupt system that controls everything and everyone with money. It shouldn't be that way when we all have equal needs as human beings. There being enough for all people to sustain themselves. The problem is not the people who have to many kids. The problem is selfish, greedy, evil rulers who chose to create a have and have not world.

You have no say in others reproductive rights. You are free to be child free or have 10 children and no one should judge you. Some of the best parents I know are the ones considered "low income". Because they know they can't afford to "buy" their kids so they must be there for them. Find ways to be creative. Should we do mandatory sterilization for all poor people? And what if they had a higher income and then lost their jobs, should we take away their kids? What if the kids are a product of abuse? You never know. And in the end it doesn't matter.
Eiram 3 years ago
I disagree because kids are humans and need personal and individual care. No person is a truly good parent to 10 kids (I suspect more than 2 is too much), because with so many to mind the parent is just a caretaker. I can say this because as the middle of 7 we all experienced great neglect and many kinds of abuse (mother did her best, father just worked). That many kids are just servants or organized like an army... none get real attention or help that matters.

I get where the OP is coming from where impoverished people deliberately have children whilst receiving government assistance. But it also hit close to home for me. My immigrant parents raised myself and my 3 siblings and we had a comfortable life up until I was 7. I'm the youngest. My dad got laid off after dealing with a workplace injury and we ended up becoming poor. I just remember struggling so bad and the many nights we went hungry yet my parents always found a way to make sure we were fed and clothed all while not receiving a single f**king handout from the government. Then we get conservative, closed minded, heartless nitwits who make assumptions that families like mine relied solely on govt assistance and are lazy and don't want to work. Kindly f*** off. Unless you understand impoverished ppls stories and approach them with empathy and understanding, you will never understand why they're poor. Don't make assumptions. It just makes you look uglier.

Take THAT up with the asshole GQP who have decided that she shouldn't have any choices. She'll have that child and how will she pay for it? The GQP don't want to pay for healthcare or education or ANYTHING but they will make her bear that child. So maybe judge less.

So many mean comments on that specific topic surprises me every time. Humans doe, what humans doe, especially in young age and that is a normal behavior. there is a reason, why most of the time, more educated people have less kids.

Not to mention alot of religions goes against people not, not having kids. I'm broke and poor. But all my children want not need not.

In well health and well dressed (when my middle son isn't wearing his only pair of sweat pants with 17 other pair of pants with no holes) I put their needs above my own being broke and poor. Tell me I'm a bad parent again. I dare you. Asshats always want to judge but never want to understand or be in your situation.

Obviously you are not a bad parent. Doing all those sacrifices for your kids. I would feel differently if you couldn't feed them and they had to eat out of dumpsters. This is what I call poor. A lotta of people in this thread/conversation consider poor people something else entirely. Where I live you can have a lot of money or scraping by. And if you are actually poor you don't have food and the other things that are absolutely necessary. It's very rare to be that poor here to be honest. Just want to point out that I consider someone with less money something else entirely.

Seriously, if they're not bothering me than I don't care. Even if that family is getting government funding to as help, I don't care. The parents that just have kids to stay on welfare and only for that reason don't take care of them properly and are being watched by CPS. But there are some who have kids, love them and take care of their children and just go about their business. The government has those funds available either way, and wants to fund them with tax dollars, regardless. No one is actually paying more in taxes, like not insanely more, just because a family has a lot of kids. Usually there is a cap at how much a family can get, too. That's not my business nor my life to worry about.

Birth control (eg. The pill) in New Zealand is $5 for 3 months worth. Condoms can also be prescribed by the doctor for the same price (or free at family planning etc.)... the price of one take out coffee. You can't say that's not cheaper than having a child. Abortions are also free.

We have children with the hope that they will learn from our mistakes and leave the world a better place than we left it. It’s for hope. To adopt your world view we should all just drive off a cliff, which is the reason no one should listen to you.

What "income", in the US I assume, do you speak of? An extra $50 on the SNAP card?

Some states spend the cash on a football player agreeing to give some speeches, which they don't actually do (to be fair, the player didn't know what LA was doing), or they accrue large amounts without disbursing, or only a minimal amount. You have to be in such dire straights, and then tell and prove your situation for a couple hundred at most, and not even necessarily for multiple months.

I understand it might be unpopular, but I don't agree with having a bunch of children if you cannot afford to provide the basic necessities. Kids don't need to grow up in mansions or anything, i don't mean that, and some of the best parents I know are low income and are incredibly creative with the resources they do have. What really stands out to me is that their children don't know they are any different (because they are not) than their peers. Their parents provide the same love and support as someone with millions. The reason why I might judge someone for having a bunch of children while being poor is having them to make them work. No child should be exploited for labour. You cannot use the "oh their family" excuse, or "its a cultural thing". It's not. That sort of behaviour towards children is abusive. Children do not understand their rights and cannot provide for themselves. We are supposed to protect and raise them, not breed them to be our own slave labour.

You can get a pack of condoms for a pound in Poundland. This is where poor people shop anyway so they can get them with their crisps and chocolate. They don’t though because of the very generous benefit system in the UK. Vermin breed without any thought.
Chris Jones 3 years ago
You can get FREE condoms at any family planning clinic. Birth control, morning after pills and abortions are free in the UK. The benefit system is there to help those who need it. Sure some abuse it - that kind of thing is going to happen. Not anywhere near as bad as companies who don't pay their staff a living wage forcing them to get Universal Credit which only ultimately benefits the greedy fat cat b*stards at the top.

Having a ton of kids period. I start getting judgy past two. There aren't enough resources on the planet for everyone to just keep having a bunch of kids. It's not sustainable. If every couple had two kids, then that would at least allow the population to level out, while still allowing people to have plenty of children per househould. If people separate and remarry, then they should be mindful of the tally with their next partner. One kid per adult total. If they want more than that, then they should adopt. Keeping the number low also allows the parents to spend more quality time with each kid. It's just better for everybody.

If you don’t hear any criticism about what you do, then it’s only natural to assume you’re ‘perfect’ and ‘flawless.’ If there’s no feedback, how can we expect someone to learn? Overly selfish people don’t change their ways at the drop of a hat. It takes a series of moments of clarity to get them to think that maybe—just maybe—they might need to rethink some things. However, some individuals find it hard to get past the embarrassment that comes from realizing they’ve been making mistakes.
"We spend a lot of time and effort presenting an ideal version of ourselves to other people. When something happens that contrasts with the image we’ve been projecting—when we say or do something that shows we actually aren’t as graceful or as smart as we’d like people to believe—we feel embarrassed," Vanessa Bohns from Cornell University explained to Bored Panda.

I can't stand people who piss on the toilet seat and don't clean it.
postboredom 3 years ago
How could you just leave your own urine and poop on a public toilet seat with a clear conscience? ಠ▃ಠ
"Discovering you were wrong about something most everyone else around you has long known to be true is one of those moments. In that moment we learn, 'Wait a minute, maybe I haven’t been presenting the image of being smart or worldly that I thought I was presenting all this time,' which is embarrassing."
One powerful way to change for the better is to become kinder, more altruistic, more giving. And there’s an added benefit, too—you’ll become happier while making the world a better place.

Being unjustifiably rude to waiters, sales associates, janitors, etc. (basically anyone who is being paid to perform a service for you)

Mindghost 3 years ago (edited)
Saw a old, spoiled lady getting her bad character out on a approx. 20 y.o. waiter, because he didn't get the 6 wine glasses at the same filling level on first try. From then on, she always watched him and shook her head and said things like "i would be shamed soo much if i were him". Next morning (it was in a hotel) i overheard from her family that she got a stomach bug and diarrhea and can't make it to breakfast. Well deserved

Unless you can't legally vote. In my country, we have lots of people disenfranchised from voting, often for very petty reasons. If you're politically active and engaged in other ways, I figure you've earned your right to complain -- even if you can't vote.
"Think about how you can reach out and do things for others, help a neighbor or volunteer for a cause, we get happiness high from helping other people. Or start small and simply list three things that you can be grateful for each night before bed. Take it slow and be kind to yourself,” she suggested how people can learn to open up to new experiences and helping others.

I'm talking about doing the bare f**king minimum. Take a brush and brush your dog. Find a food that doesn't give him explosive diarrhea every time he has to take a s**t. Give that little turd factory some discipline so he stops trying to maul toddlers when he inevitably dashes out your front door and across the street.

Most of these I wouldn't silently judge...I'd loudly judge. One thing I do silently judge is when people from other countries come here and don't pay attention to laws or safety things, like street signs. I live in an area with a lot of immigration and, I understand yoou may not know the language yet, but pay attention to the behavior of people around you until you figure out certain things. We have people riding their bikes on highways in the area which is against the law and dangerous. A lot of people on bikes with no shirts or shoes on freeways, a lot of uninsured people... We also had a lot of people who work jobs with equipment they aren't licensed to handle because it was cheaper for the contractors to hire undocumented peoples. It's dangerous for them and for others. I know it's not PC to say it but I'm definitely judging those contractors if you put other people in danger because you don't know or care about laws that govern safety.

They always take a mask and shockingly, actually have zero issues.

Spoken like someone who knows nothing about the US welfare system. First, government doesn't pay you anything unless you pay in and qualify to receive SSI or SSDI due to age/disability. The only cash program is TANFF, which is critically underfunded, distributed through poorly designed programs,when the state isn't hording the money for other stuff. Welfare requires info from both biological parents, and they evaluate your support arrangements if you aren't sharing a household to determine if it meets their income guidelines. If the other parent isn't contributing voluntarily, they hunt down that parent, verify DNA and enforce a support agreement based on their income (& not their actual financial situation which may not actually afford the amount they determine). Then the state will award Medicaid/CHIP, SNAP, WIC, Section 8, none of which is cash. Welfare reform of 90s changed the programs to require contribution from both parents.

I've known a couple of people like this because they were pathological liars. It's not an excuse, just an explanation. I hate them just the same.

Poor work ethic. Someone has to cover for you when you’re out. If you don’t want the job, quit and let us get someone who does.

As an employer, I would rather have someone who knows how to show up instead of the guy who knows how to do the job.

People who are walking about aimlessly buried in their phones expecting you to move out of their way.....no I'm not moving. If you walk into me, drop your phone or whatever then it's your own effin' fault!!

I still, and will continue to, judge people who won't wear a mask to protect others, and those who won't get vaccinated. I've become adept at showing my judginess even while wearing a mask, hat, and sunglasses, and without using any verbal signals.

Just got a t-shirt that reads "I Identify as Vaccinated" I think it is hilarious, because I wasn't born vaccinated.

People who treat animals poorly. (e. g. eat meat every day, go to horse races, keep their bunny in a tiny cage.)
Shane S 3 years ago
I agree with everything but the eating part. If something dies, eat it. What I can’t stand is people who waste meat- let it go expired or cook too much and throw it away. That animal died- have some respect. Especially if it’s a whole animal like a chicken or turkey. If you waste it, it truly died for no reason.

I will concede the no-vaxxing, but as long as their religiosity is not hurting anyone, no judgment.

Most of these I wouldn't silently judge...I'd loudly judge. One thing I do silently judge is when people from other countries come here and don't pay attention to laws or safety things, like street signs. I live in an area with a lot of immigration and, I understand yoou may not know the language yet, but pay attention to the behavior of people around you until you figure out certain things. We have people riding their bikes on highways in the area which is against the law and dangerous. A lot of people on bikes with no shirts or shoes on freeways, a lot of uninsured people... We also had a lot of people who work jobs with equipment they aren't licensed to handle because it was cheaper for the contractors to hire undocumented peoples. It's dangerous for them and for others. I know it's not PC to say it but I'm definitely judging those contractors if you put other people in danger because you don't know or care about laws that govern safety.

A lot of time not intended. If you see from where those people come, you'll understand. If you were used to the streets of Mumbai, you will think the streets in Asterdam are 100% safe. People have to learn how to follow rules, because in a lot of countries, people are just doing something.

Parents who count to three, and then...well,nothing happens. If you're going to count, when you hit three, you better follow through.

I'm noticing that too. I bet the use of the word "hate" on this site has increased greatly in the past few months. But people love to pick sides, maybe it gives them a sense of purpose that's otherwise lacking in their lives.

People who get rid of animals because they aren’t “convenient” anymore. When you adopt an animal, you adopt it for life. Also, when people use their pets’ reproductive system to make money. The pounds are full of animals with no homes. We don’t need more designer puppies.

These are all too safe and reasonable. I will judge you if you watch reality tv, add at the end when you say the word ‘something’ or ‘anything’, wear Crocs, buy every FIFA game or have scalped a PS5. Nothing exactly wrong with these things by I will automatically think less of you.

Putting their social media accounts everywhere. i.e. 'everyone is an aspiring celebrity' culture. The worst offense I see is in dating profiles, with "follow me" instead of a description, a sure sign of no personality. The dumbest are probably the flashy cars with a social media window sticker, since there are so many cases of cars being stolen because of the details posted on the person's account.

I hate people that proudly announce every chance they get, how smart their kids are, however, they think that kids cannot understand good behavior and never teach them manners or consequences, because "kids are too young to know or to be taught better" I've worked with kids of all ages for 30 years, and let me tell you; Kids know, and they're manipulating you, because they know they can get away with everything around their parents, why do you think they behave differently and better with other adults like teachers, nannies, parents of other children etc. Another adult or caretaker wouldn't discipline your kids, but the kids don't know this so they behave well

I judge people who choose to live in a country where their native language is not spoken.. and even after years, they have not bothered to learn the local language. There is always a way to learn it... and not doing it is lazy and ignorant in my opinion.

People who repeat talking points without having any idea what they actually mean. If you try to actually engage, they just spew more talking points. Literally can't carry on a conversation because they have no idea what they're talking about, but they'll roll their eyes, shout at you, and act like YOU are the asshole.

People who lie. People who break basic society rules. I don’t care if the lie didn’t hurt anyone, or if the rule is stupid. Change the rules instead of breaking them. People who constantly lie, can they be honest with themselves? And if they are, do they feel fine lying all the time?

People that don't follow the rules for their recycling plants/centers. In most plants/centers, they'll simply throw away recyclables that aren't properly cleaned, non-recyclable parts removed, wrong number, etc. Many people don't know this or do this. They just toss anything plastic/glass/paper in the bin and think they're helping when all they're doing is making trash with extra steps.

So much of this is petty or ignorant of what other people are working with - makes me very sad about other people. Save yourself some space in your brain for others and assume they're dealing with difficult things, a hard day, kid who is having a hard time, they had kids before becoming poor, they're just living their life - whatever. Trust me, you're no peach yourself.

People who claim to be medically exempt from wearing masks and then actually wear a mask with no problems when you tell them your work doesn't allow mask exemptions. My work doesn't allow exemptions for several reasons, and we are within our right to do so, and I have yet to have someone who claims medical exemption leave. They always take a mask and shockingly, actually have zero issues. There are fully valid reasons why someone can't wear a mask, but if you really had a reason you can't wear one, you would leave instead of taking a mask and wearing it. And so yes, I judge people who fake or exaggerate conditions because they don't want to follow rules in a pandemic because they just make it harder on the people who genuinely have real medical conditions.

People who are nasty on anipal twitter. Who cares if they talk in baby talk or the spellings wrong. We KNOW it’s not really animals typing but it’s fun and there are some fantastic communities on there who offer friendship and support to people who have no one. If you don’t like , move on . Live and let live.

There is a culture in America. You are paid by the government for each child you have and can't support. You also must have no support of the significant other. So our system encourages it.

Spoken like someone who knows nothing about the US welfare system. First, government doesn't pay you anything unless you pay in and qualify to receive SSI or SSDI due to age/disability. The only cash program is TANFF, which is critically underfunded, distributed through poorly designed programs,when the state isn't hording the money for other stuff. Welfare requires info from both biological parents, and they evaluate your support arrangements if you aren't sharing a household to determine if it meets their income guidelines. If the other parent isn't contributing voluntarily, they hunt down that parent, verify DNA and enforce a support agreement based on their income (& not their actual financial situation which may not actually afford the amount they determine). Then the state will award Medicaid/CHIP, SNAP, WIC, Section 8, none of which is cash. Welfare reform of 90s changed the programs to require contribution from both parents.
