While some people are needlessly and excessively judgmental, many of us have likely ‘rewarded’ someone with a judgy look at least once or twice in our lives. Sometimes it’s difficult not to! But despite the same emotion, the reasons for judging others tend to differ quite significantly with each person.
For some, it’s their choice of clothing or the cars they drive. For others—it’s the way people handle themselves in public or the things they do behind closed doors. You get the idea—the reasons are ample. Members of the ‘Ask Reddit’ community recently discussed such reasons, after one netizen asked them about that one thing they secretly judge people for. If you’re curious to see what it is that Redditors can’t tolerate, scroll down to find their answers on the list below and feel free to upvote the reasons—if any—that might make you, too, a little judgmental.

People who don't pick up their dog's poop. Especially in public parks or in communities where kids would want to play.

Or they leave bagged poop wherever they want. Part of having a dog is cleaning up after them.

Then there private life is no longer private anymore. It is a public life now.

How they parent. It’s very hard to ignore when kids are involved.
Jaq Jack 1 hour ago
Parents, and especially moms are probably the most judged people in public. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt as much as I can. For instance a child being rude in public could have mental or behavioral problems, and the parent could be so mentally and physically exhausted at that very moment because they’ve been dealing with it for weeks and months on end. All parents have their good times and their bad times,, unless the kid is being harmed in any way I try to keep to myself. That’s not to say I haven’t seen some truly atrocious parenting in public, and have even had words with parents.

Chewing with their mouth open.
Grape Walls of Ire 59 minutes ago
I initially assumed the issue was going to be with those pants.
#11
Being mean to other people for enjoying things, like brightly colored clothes, piercings, or sweatpants. I mean, I might be more comfortable in earth toned dress clothes, but to each their own. Stop tearing other people down for ENJOYING C**P. .
#13
The way they treat their pets; when they kind of ignore them or treat the pet like an accessory instead of making some kind of small acknowledgement of the pet even just scratching the head as the dog walks by. Or people that yell at their dogs. It just rubs me the wrong way.
Ann Jeppesen 2 hours ago
I don't like or even trust anyone who doesn't treat animals right. If you don't love them, why have them in the first place? You're responsible for them for their whole life. Not just a part of it.
#14
Gossiping about others. That tells me they’d gossip about me too.
Averysleepypanda 2 hours ago
I disagree with this one only because I truly believe everyone gossips. I'd actually go as far to say that the people who claim not too are usually the biggest offenders.
#16
Taking a phone call by speaker phone.
I automatically think the person is selfish and trash.
#18
Thinking that they're so cool when they are mean to people, especially at school. And not even blatantly mean...even just if you, for example, try and catch a ball in PE and you drop it. They'll be like haha its okay, but you see them laughing to their friends out of the corner of your eye. It f*****g pisses me off because the meanest people are considered popular most of the time...it's just a bunch of b******t because they just lie and manipulate and cause so much drama to get to the top, and people are too scared to say something because they make people feel like s**t.
It is not cool to make people feel like s**t.
reuben kift 1 hour ago
More often than not, they'll peak at secondary/high school. And those that continue that behaviour well in to adulthood will eventually be exposed as a liar and manipulator and will be ostracized for such behaviour.
#19
Unruly kids in restaurants. Or airports.
#20
People living their lives through their phone camera. Like, you're at a concert and instead of watching it, you record it to watch later. Why??
You watch a beautiful moment and record it to watch later. Why?? Just put down your f*****g phone and EXPERIENCE it!!
"Disembodied voice" 2 hours ago
Just get a couple photos then put your phone away. More annoyed by people blocking the view by holding their phones up.
#22
Watching a video/listening to music/podcasts/audiobooks without headphones in public. Same goes for speakerphone and for having a phone call where you’re talking very loudly.
Not training their dogs. If your dog is so out of control that you have to physically keep it from lunging at someone who’s literally just walking past, you have a problem. (If your dog is just trying to say hi that’s fine).
#24
How loud they are. I don't like people who don't have an indoor voice.
Pittsburgh rare 1 hour ago
God, this is mine. I really give dirty looks on the bus or the metro to people having this loud AF conversations. They can't be unaware that we're all listening, so l assume it's a matter of attention seeking.
#25
Sharing religious posts but having a horrible personality.
#26
When they treat their religion like fact. believe what you want, but if you can’t recognize that your religion has the same chance of being correct as the other thousands of religions in the world then i simply cant trust your judgement.
#27
Road rage
Sure, its annoying seeing stupid drivers. But why get pissed off and start swearing about it. Especially hate people who follow other drivers just to have a shouting match or sometimes a fight.
Wow you got cut off, or somone overtook you. Who cares. Just get on with your day. Don't go to prison over driving a car
I guess also people who drink and drive or speed in general. If they only ever hurt themselves I wouldn't care. But too many times you see families being killed because one twat didn't care.
Averysleepypanda 2 hours ago
Swearing out loud is fine, just leave it there though and don't start acting crazy
#29
I'm a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, and when I'm in meetings there's always one person who shows up talks about their "war stories," how many times they've been to jail, how many times they OD, and how many substances they have to consume in order to be unresponsive. It's like they're glorifying their addiction, and I try my best to have compassion but with this particular type of person I find it exceedingly difficult.
#30
Smoking around their kids.
#31
Having an imperialistic mentality. They do everything right. Everyone else is doing it wrong. “I would have done it this way” trying flex trivial/boring information. Bragging about how they have better s**t than you.
#32
Too much facial filler. Especially the big lips
Also snuffleupagus eyelashes.
#33
I have mixed feelings about this, but it's when I see a parent constantly shouting at their kids (even when they're still baby) and being loud and negative, especially when it happens in public transport.
#34
When they treat their kids like social media accessories. They don't actually parent. They just post their kids every move and every thought and every everything on social media. Actually I'm not so sure I secretly judge that part. I'm pretty open about it.
#35
Responding in the group chat but ignoring my individual texts.
#36
Conversation skills.
If they're quiet or shy that's fine, I get it, I'm an introvert and fairly private. But if they are dominating the conversation with constant talk of only themselves and not contributing in a meaningful way, I am absolutely judging.
#37
People boasting their body counts and the conquests they've had.
Super cringe.
#38
Not trimming their nails.
#39
How they treat my kid who has special needs.I unapologetically judge people who are unkind. That behavior speaks volumes to me.

Just like the dad hwo blamed his autistic son for the speeding ticket he god, I mean got, because of beeing late. 😵💫 (another post here on BP recently)

Fishing for praise. I pretend not to notice their “discreet” begging for compliments and keep moving the convo forward. Preferably away from their favorite topic — themselves lol.
#42
Licking their fingers before handing someone cash. big yucko.
#44
BIG me, little you attitude. Rubs me the wrong way.

How they spend their money. Don't complain you have no money and don't get paid enough when you told me last week you ordered door dash everyday for every meal. 🙄.
Jaq Jack 1 hour ago
I have a friend like that. First off she received a large inheritance. She bought a house and put a certain amount in savings as an emergency fund. And she does work. These are all smart decisions. But then to complain and actually cry to her friends that are all deeply struggling right now that she is “so broke!” It actually really hurts. She goes out of town every weekend and takes as many days off work as she can, eats out every meal, buys whatever clothes she sees that she might desire to wear one day. Meanwhile I’m sitting here having to plan two weeks ahead to buy my son a new sweatshirt. I just want her to stop rubbing it in.

It's ok if it's not too loud - and especially not on public transport. Happy people whistle.

Using "seen" instead of "saw". Example: "I seen that car the other day".

I seesaw that this is wrong, but can't say when to use seen seen. Is it appropriate for "have you seen Brian the other day?"

Adding salt to food before tasting it.

Unfortunately I'm guilty of that. It's such a bad habit, I'm aware of it and getting better at tasting before I add salt.

Using retractable leashes for their dogs. Especially on busy roads. Good way to get your dog smoked by a car when they run into the road and there’s no tension to stop them….

I have a retractable leash for my dog but it can lock. I always set it shorter around people and roads.

How they like their steak. If it's more than medium well, I'm Judgy McJudgerson.

I don't try to judge other people in their food choices or how they like their food cooked. We are all different and all like different food and cooked all are own way.
