According to communication researcher and social scientist Elizabeth Dorrance Hall, attributions are thoughts we have about people that help us make sense of why others do the things they do.
There are two types of attributions we make about others' behavior:
When we make situational attributions, we believe their behavior is due to something in their situation. For instance, our coworker might have been short with us, because he is tired or overworked.
Personality attributions are more about a person's character. When we make these attributions, we believe the behavior is due to the person's personality. Assuming that the same coworker who was short with us is impatient or unkind is making a personality attribution.
Focusing on the latter, Reddit user u/booja87 posted a question to the platform: "What's something you secretly judge people about?" And people answered it. Here are some of the most interesting replies.

The way people treat animals. I'm an Indian I have seen my fair share of abuse of street dogs and other domestic animals. The way people care for their pets or in general any animal. If I have a pack of biscuits and I see a stray puppy that's looking at me, I'll always empty out the packet for it to eat. What I mean to say is, acts of compassion and kindness towards animals does tell a lot about the humanity of the person.

How they treat servers, waitstaff, or hotel clerks. Nothing irritates me more than grown-ass adults who think service professionals are somehow beneath them or that they're somehow indentured servants. And how they treat janitors/custodial staff, and whether people leave more of a mess than they should because 'it’s their job to clean up after [them]

This. I have seen people with very high educational qualifications misbehaving and treating cleaners, waiters, gatekeepers etc and treating them like they are not humans. No matter how much schooling such people have done they are not educated.

People who use their speakerphone for music or conversations in public places. I hate it

Not wearing masks properly. My job the last year has involved making sure people wear masks properly. I don’t understand people who wear it but under their nose or chin. Like what is the point?
Hermien Greeff 3 years ago
This should be higher. Someone with the mask under the nose irritates me even more than someone with no masks. Just do it right, it is so so easy. Or people with masks that are clearly too big or loose so they have to pull it back up every 5 seconds.
#7
Cheating. Apparently this is an unpopular opinion in the world now, but I have a severe fear of being cheated on. I think it’s horrible. So whenever I hear one of my friends talk/almost brag about cheating on their partner, I automatically lose a lot of respect for them.

Not liking animals. It’s one thing not to want a pet — they’re a lot of time and money. But people who say, 'I don’t like animals' get a hard side-eye from me.

I don't trust ANYONE who doesn't like animals. I get it that some people prefer not to be jumped on by dogs, or having a demanding cat want to jump in their lap, but to outright say you "hate" animals is a massive warning for me that there's something not right about that person.

About 3 years ago I got sick because a lady NEVER washed her hands after using the bathroom. I was a receptionist and the closest for her was in the lobby area. She would go in and I could hear the flush. She would already be out the door while the flushing was taking place. She would cover for me during my breaks and lunch. Well, she caught something and soon I had it too. From that point on I kept sanitizer and Lysol at my desk and cleaned EVERYTHING she could have possibly touched, mouse, pens, keyboard, phone, etc. I haven't been sick since I left that place. I was a temp worker but I worked there for 2 years. I now do seasonal data entry. Because of Covid we sanitize our chairs and computer equipment before we start and at the end of the day. We also wear a mask for 8 hours (except when eating) and we social distance. Since this is a federal facility, we will be doing this until the end of 2021! Yes, I've been vaccinated also.

I was at a friends house last week. I sent to the bathroom to wash my hands from being outside and helping HIM move stuff into the house he purchased. He hadn't been flushing. He said it's to conserve water. I find that men often do this but not women. Women don't want people seeing what they done in this very private room! Why men, Why?

For a time I I worked in an operating theatre and made a list for my family on who was allowed and not allowed to operate on me (if was incapacitated in some way) based on who out of the male surgeons I witnessed in the change rooms not washing their hands after using the toilet. When I called them out they used the rational that they were about the scrub up anyhow however more than likely they would touch about half a dozen things before that which was just disturbing

No, I'm no longer "silently" judging people for this nasty habit. If you're going to refuse to wash after going and I see it, I will remind you to wash. If you refuse, I will then let all of your coworkers know not to touch anything you do. (this is at work, of course, and has been an issue in the past)

I was taught that sharing similar stories was a way to talk to people: with time I have learned that this is dangerously close to above behaviour of one-upping, and always try to watch myself when chatting so i dont do this reflex when im nervous. It comes across as selfish to people sometimes i think, but there was a difference in my mind anyway between one upping, or listening and letting them tell you how it felt, and sometimes sharing an experience in return, like a show of solidarity? I just don't know nowadays maybe I am coming across rude to all, not just some?

What part of their life are they posting on social media. Especially when they post every tiny problem in a relationship on social media
I want cake 3 years ago
I firmly believe in the theory that a healthy relationship is barely apparent on social media, because the people in it don't crave the validation to make them feel good about it. Relationships that are splashed all over social media, particularly with gushing captions about how perfect it is always give me the impression of two people trying to convince themselves.

The behavior of their dog. There are of course allowances for dogs that were adopted/rescued that weren’t trained for a period of their lives, and some dogs have reactive behavior that’s difficult to overcome even with diligent work. However, if the only reason your dog is a little [jerk] is because you don’t care enough to train them right, I’m sitting here in judgment.

When they talk badly about people they were acting nice towards
Dynein 3 years ago
Grey area. Are we talking about being polite to strangers, then sharing what was weird about them when they are gone? Talking badly about a weird relative or friend's friend you don't like but can't avoid? There are plenty of times when you're expected to be courteous to people you don't get along with for whatever reasons, which can be exhausting so I think it's fine to vent afterwards! What crosses the line IMO is when it delves into gossip and/or when you act like outright friends with them. Thought the line can be difficult to define across personal and cultural differences.
#28
How open they are to differing opinions. There are certain people who immediately get defensive or shut down the whole discussion when they disagree with something, instead of having an actual conversation about it.

How you prioritize your money. Not how you spend it as I couldn’t care less if you can afford it, but if you’re the type of person who’s tight on money and spending it willy nilly or spending out of your means and justifying it, then your ceiling for being a bright person drops significantly. One of my exes said they had $40 in their bank account during the peak of the pandemic. She had no job and she thought she earned going to get a manicure and blowing even more than what she could afford since I think she needed to borrow money to make up for the cost. I told her that was a stupid purchase and she kept trying to justify it by saying it’s been too long and that she felt like she earned herself a treat. No. If you have $40, your treat could potentially be a McFlurry from the drive thru. Not a manicure
I want to clarify again it’s not like getting a manicure is bad, but prioritizing it when you have $40 to your name is freaking moronic

People who are involved with MLMs I think they are untrustworthy or somewhat dumb.
Monday 3 years ago
MLM - mulit-level marketing. Companies like Avon or Herbalife that encourage their employees to recruit people below them in order to make money. You make more money tricking others into signing up as a seller than you do from actually selling the product. It's essentially a pyramid scheme that has somehow managed to stay in the legal grey zone.

Parents who try to convince me to let their kid in a ride when they’re not big enough. Even when I tell them it’s for their own safety and the restraints aren’t designed for smaller people. It’s like they don’t care if their kid gets majorly hurt.
Also parents who force their kids on rides they don’t want to get on. Traumatizing them and making them fear rides in general, but also not realizing that kids OFTEN try to climb out if rides they’re scared of, which is very dangerous!

Good road manners and consideration for one’s fellow motorist tends to cause a positive ripple effect as the person you let into the traffic flow/cross lanes/give way for, etc is likely (in the name of good karma) to extend the same courtesy to another motorist and so on and so forth.

What they say about their kids in social media. I get that being a parent is hard, and it’s okay to talk/vent/be real about that online, but sometimes people cross the line and talk about their kids as if they’re not real people, just because they’re not grown and don’t have a Facebook account. People should imagine what their kids would think if they were all grown up and reading your internet history. If you think they would be hurt by what you said, don’t post it

People who act like the "anti-hero" in their own story. It seems more people I see these days dont want to be the hero in their own lives but want to be the "complex dark villain with a tragic past and stone cold appearance, but have a heart of gold" it's like no. Dave with your 4 bedroom 2 story house that your parents helped buy after you graduated university, and you now live in with your 2 kids and loving wife, are not an anti-hero and posting things like, "I'm a calm man but mess with me and I will break your bones" does not make you cool or complex.

Self-described and proud "grammar Nazis". They are usually able to use language proficiently themselves, but tend to have zero actual knowledge *about* language.

This is probably a one-off, but people who judge the death of one's child as being "most likely suicide," when it absolutely was not. My son died in a hunting accident 15 1/2 years ago when his gun misfired and ended his life. He did NOT commit suicide; he loved life, he loved his family, he had two great jobs that brought him a lot of joy. But there have been those who have said, "OH, sure! He just "accidentally" shot himself...riiiighht!" as if they knew him. They know nothing, and it adds immensely to the grief and pain of losing him. So now I feel like I'm lying when I say he died in an accident, and leave out the GSW part of it. DON'T JUDGE SOMEONE'S DEATH!

When they call you and cry a river about their partner, and the minute you hang up they've posted about how striong, independant, and loving to be single. Ffs, nobody believes you.

I judge people who smoke in non-smoking areas - we have a designated outdoor smoking area at work so the smoke doesn't blow back into the buildings and we always have one or two people that think they are too cool to walk over there. I judge them so hard.

I'm a smoker & I always make sure I'm in the smoking area - the jerks who won't walk an extra 10 feet or so are the ones who get the smoking areas moved farther away or removed entirely!

I have to stop reading these articles … everytime I’m like wow people judge me on this ??? Honestly the human race is such a miserable collection of unhappy people and I would prefer to live in my happy bubble of assuming no one is judging me just because I don’t measure up to their bullshit expectations

When people have fat kids. I think its child abuse, if you feed your kid just fast-food and other junk. Makes me always so angry at the parents!

For me I have a few grey areas with this .. I have a son who was like insanely skinny for years and suddenly he blew up almost over night . I was so worried . Turns out he was hitting a growth spurt and he’s thinning out again . For me it depends on the age of the child , a teenager or almost teenager is hard to monitor .. but yes I struggle with this a lot .. I have a friend who’s child has been morbidly obese since he was about three and is now eight and I secretly judge the s**t out of her and I feel bad because she’s a genuinely lovely person .. but with the exception of some disabilities or metabolic disorders or a growth spurt etc young kids who are obese infuriate me .. it’s absolutely child abuse

I had a family friend that swore at her kids. She was very upset when her son started flipping her off. Monkey see, monkey do!

My personal one, black fingernail polish. For some reason, it grosses me out.

Tongue studs and other facial piercings. But you know it's their body. I don't have to date them. But yes I am grossed out by them. I see it as self mutilation.

Self-described and proud "grammar Nazis". They are usually able to use language proficiently themselves, but tend to have zero actual knowledge *about* language. I've never met a grammar nazi who has studied language at master's level or above - once they get to a certain level, linguists tend to be pretty zen about "mistakes". So, if you complain about "literally" vs "figuratively" or whatever, it marks you out in my eyes as an amateur.

This is probably a one-off, but people who judge the death of one's child as being "most likely suicide," when it absolutely was not. My son died in a hunting accident 15 1/2 years ago when his gun misfired and ended his life. He did NOT commit suicide; he loved life, he loved his family, he had two great jobs that brought him a lot of joy. But there have been those who have said, "OH, sure! He just "accidentally" shot himself...riiiighht!" as if they knew him. They know nothing, and it adds immensely to the grief and pain of losing him. So now I feel like I'm lying when I say he died in an accident, and leave out the GSW part of it. DON'T JUDGE SOMEONE'S DEATH!

Parents scrolling on mobile phones whilst their kids are at the park, playground or swimming pool. I find this heartbreaking when a child achieves something they find great & look to see if their parent noticed...no. Too busy to smile, clap, thumbs up or engage with their child's childhood. They are only little once! 😔🚸🎠🏞️

I agree, some kids are just chubby, and thats perfectly ok. I mean parents who feed their kids just fastfood, sweets and other junk and make their kids morbidly obese. As parents, we choose what comes on the table. If you are already feeding your toddler french fries, you are already setting them down on a very dangerous and unhealthy road.

People who say "These days....blah blah blah..." or "Back in the old days....this and that..." You're not special. You don't live in special times. Old people said the same things about your generation when you were young. Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

People who manufacture problems/turn ant hills into mountains so they can then play The Victim. People these days want to be The Victim.

Should know better? That's a big statement. I'm not super religious, idc what people believe or how they convince themselves that getting up today is, ya know, worth it. But what is the better you speak of? As far as I know, there is no concrete knowledge that completely DISPROVES ALL religions. Some controversy, sure. Some overlap, definitely. Where is this knowledge you have that so 100% infallible that you can disprove the existence of a concept that predates civilization?
