Reddit user dolphinsR4evr asked: 'What is something you have a hard time not judging people about?'

The Bible advises people to judge not, lest they be judged.

Which seems to have been lost in translation for too many purported adherents to its teachings.

On a secular level, we're told to not judge a book by its cover, but sometimes...

Sometimes it's hard not to get judgy.


Reddit user dolphinsR4evr asked:

"What is something you have a hard time not judging people about?"

Parents

"Being proud of being awful and absolute a**holes to their children."

~ YamAnxious

"I (female, 15) was on a train with my mother (female, 50) a couple years ago. We were enjoying our trip, laughing and playing together."

"We were sitting next to a man and his wife. They were about 60 years old."

"He started talking to us out of the blue and he said some things like 'a mother and her daughter shouldn't be friends', 'a daughter should hate her mother bc she's strict', and randomly bringing up his children."

"When we got off the train, we looked at each other and laughed about it, but I actually felt so bad about his kids."

~ justlookawaybruh

Give a Hoot

"Leaving trash in nature or anywhere really. I don't get it."

~ AbsoluteEva

"One of my pet peeves are people who throw their empty beer or energy drink cans off ski lifts."

"The lifties have to hike up the hill with trash bags picking up the litter. The people who do this have no respect for nature or the employees."

~ sretep66

Where Ya Headed?

"People who don't use their turn signals."

~ cutiecakepiecookie

"Even better, the ones who turn on the turn signal after they’re already turning."

~ SomeKindoflove27

"At least in these instances, it might just be a last second 'oh f'k sorry I forgot'."

"The ones who never use it are entitled."

~ GeneralZaroff1

"They shall hence be known as after-turners."

~ bryfy77

"How about the ones that have their blinkers on to move Right but move Left?"

~ MealComprehensive865

"No" Is A Complete Sentence!

"People pressuring others to do something after the other person already said 'no'."

~ Orchid_wildflower

"As someone who just doesn't enjoy drinking, it's so tiring answering the same questions at every single function."

"'No. I don't want a drink. No. I'm not an alcoholic. Thank you for the concern. I just don't want to drink'."

"It's like it's unfathomable for someone not to enjoy drinking."

~ TheDarkKnightFell

"'You’re just having a coke? Why‽‽'”

"Because it actually tastes good, it’s half the price, I can drive home after and I can actually enjoy my day tomorrow.”

~ Majestic-Marcus

"I AM an alcoholic and was amazed at how many people I considered to be friends tried this when I quit drinking."

"'Oh just a few won't hurt', 'you can't really have a problem if it was that easy to stop', 'don't worry', etc..."

~ yerbard

"5.5 years sober here."

"It. Is. Wild!"

"People will straight up try and bully you into drinking like, nah..."

~ jessieesmithreese519

"I gave up alcohol and marijuana last summer. I rarely socialize anymore with people outside my family."

"Seems like everyone in my age group needs some type of substance in order to relax and hang out. I'm especially put off by the wave of women calling wine 'mommy juice'."

~ Mammoth_Monk1793

"I hate how much of this culture's socialization is based around some type of substance use."

"So we can't just hang out and talk? We need to smoke, or drink, or some other bullsh*t??"

~ MrProdigal884

Special Place in Hell

"Poor treatment of pets."

~ Willing-Survey7448

"Buying a $3500 puppy for their kid at Christmas and dumping the dog at the pound a few months later when they realize how challenging raising a cute puppy can be. I will judge you."

"*glances down at purebred husky from pound sitting on couch snuggling with favorite toys….*"

~ lightpennies

"I see that often (I volunteer at our local shelter) and it really makes me angry seeing the people come in and just surrender the dog because they couldn't be bothered to put in the time and dedication."

" Dogs aren't a damn appliance. They are living, breathing beings with feelings."

"There honestly should be a database that those people get added to that prevents them from ever having a dog in the future if that's the reason why they are surrendering a dog (or any other animal)."

"And I get that there are legimate reasons for surrendering an animal (owner dies and surviving family cannot properly care for it, loss of housing and job, etc...)."

~ FirehawkLS1

"I once knew a woman who moved in with her boyfriend like people do. They both had dogs. Dogs did not get along."

"She'd had her dog 4 years and just went, ok I'll take it to the pound and give it up since they won't stop fighting. After only one month."

"Then complained about being sad for her lost dog (that went to one of those, if it doesn't get adopted, it'll get put down, places)."

"Her boyfriend just bought her a new dog to raise and train with his dog."

"I was so disgusted, I am not friends with them anymore."

~ TheMightyBluzah

Move Along

"Being oblivious of how much space they're taking up in public."

"I used to work in a building where you had to swipe your key card to enter through a turnstile, and the system was a bit slow. They were around 400 people working there, you can imagine how there was always a queue."

"Every day there was some d*ckhead having a conversation in front of the turnstiles, completely ignoring the people wanting to pass."

"Every day there was some dude getting to the front of the queue and only then realizing they needed their key card to get through."

"Everybody knew how annoying the process was, how can you care that little about other people?"

"Related: Placing your backpack on a seat in a crowded bus/train, blocking a supermarket aisle with your trolley."

~ thursday-anywhere

Use Your Indoor Voice

"Being extremely loud and bragging in a public place or restaurant."

~ anonnautilus

"I will never forget the time I rode a train late at night and one family took up half the car with their kids. They ran around making an absolute ruckus."

"One older lady politely asked if they could quiet down since 'everyone was tired'."

"The acting matriarch of the group yelled at her, 'Don't you dare tell my kids what to do! Hey, Kids! You can be AS LOUD AS YOU WANT!!!'."

"'Yaaaaay!'."

"I have to imagine they all grew up to be total a**holes."

~ PorkRoll2022

"And that's my neighbor. She encourages her kids to yell and scream, and joins in with them....encouraging them by yelling 'This is OUR HOUSE!'."

"She's actually the first adult I've ever met who had her kids on the lawn on July 4th, whooping and yelling 'USA! USA! Number ONE!!'."

"Yeah, I think we all judge her."

~ Francesca_N_Furter

Don't Be a Richard

"I hate people that feel the need to constantly bring others down and make them feel bad about things they enjoy."

"It's so sad to watch someone's enthusiasm about their hobby deflate because another person decided to be a d*ck about it."

~ ReporterOk4531

"Working with kids, it’s something I try to nip in the bud. Unfortunately, there’s way too many adults doing that to kids."

"My cousins’ dreams were crushed as kids by the adults in my family. Talents went to waste because of that. Even as a child myself, I knew it was wrong."

~ mstrss9

STFU, Tom!

"Man I think of myself as a relatively tough person who generally dgaf what people think of me, but I'm 38 and overweight and I realized I wanted to try roller blading again (this was abt 8 mos after having my third child)."

"This one d*ckhead neighbor was out in his yard and made fun of me to my face as I skated up the road (legit first time roller blading in like 20 years) and I haven't put them back on since."

"I even said 'hey don't give me a hard time, I haven't done this in years!' And he rolled his eyes and said 'yeah I can tell'."

"He made me feel so small and stupid. I'm mad at myself for not being tougher than that idiot's stupid comments."

~ allegedlys3

"He's a bully. So sorry this happened. Can't wait for you to try again. I learned to do pull-ups very late in life. Took me months."

"Everyone at the gym was very encouraging. I would never have made it without the extra support. My family was not as supportive."

"This is me supporting you. Go get em! You got this!"

~ VelcroSea

"Just remind yourself that people who make fun of someone making an effort are the biggest losers on the planet."

"Losers hate to watch people on the path to success."

~ rm-rd

"Yeah--OP, he's the small and stupid one. And if you can manage it, re-rollerblading will be both fun on its own AND a major victory against your a-hole neighbor."

~ Cat_Prismatic

"I hope you put the blades back on and either give him the finger or wear a shirt that says 'shut the hell up Tom' whenever youre outside blading your troubles away."

~ sinverguenza

"To all you subcommenters, you are a lovely group of people and thank you so much for your encouragement! Yeah, f'k that guy."

"When I get the guts up to go try again (I'll prob wait a few weeks til it's not hotter than the devil's taint outside), I will think of y'all."

~ allegedlys3

Well, 💩

"Not cleaning up after their dog. Just get a doggy bag people."

~ jfg1435

"There’s crap all over sidewalks in my neighborhood. I just can’t fathom the mindset of these people that won’t pick up after their dogs."

~ zrayburton

"It's even worse when there's trashcans next to free doggy bags on the neighborhood trail, and you still see dogsh*t all over the place. Zero f'king excuse at that point besides being a lazy pr*ck."

~ Pooonther

"Especially people who own large dogs. Like excuse me this is what you signed up for when you got your large a** dog."

"At my old apartment complex there was dog sh*t EVERYWHERE and it was always the human sized ones. So disgusting."

"If I ever see someone not picking it up I will absolutely yell at them."

~ AudreyFish

Excuse You

"People with no sense of self awareness, so they stop in the middle of walkways, entrances or crosswalks for no reason."

~ progressiveanarchy

"And grocery aisles. At least apologize if blocking the aisle."

~ weaselblackberry8

"Yeah people get way too absorbed in what they personally have going on, and are totally oblivious to their surroundings as a result."

~ zakku_88

"My husband was this person. Absolutely no awareness of the inconsiderate mess."

"When we first took a trip together and he stopped in the middle of the airport and put his bag down I was like… 'I Don't Know WHERE you learned this but you don’t do this anymore'."

"And now he’s learned."

~ BusinessClassBarbie

Abandon Ship

"A parent leaving and ignoring one family to get a new significant other and raise that persons children."

~ blyblotbloidberg

"Generally it is getting a new partner (who doesn’t have kids) AND create a new batch of kids, forgetting the existing kids."

~ VeganMonkey

"This happened to a friend of mine. Thirty years ago his mother walked out, abandoning him and his sister."

"They were both under ten years old. She never contacted them again. She moved on and had more kids with someone else."

"Things like that always kind of surprise me because we’ve all been conditioned to expect mothers to always love and want to take care of their children. Mother love is supposed to be unconditional, right?"

"Sadly, not always. Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances, sometimes not. My friend does not really know why his mom left them."

"Nowadays he says he doesn’t care because it’s been so long that it feels to him like she died—but I think he still hurts. Everybody needs a mother sometimes."

"Sometimes people are just sh*tty for no good reason. It’s hard to accept."

~ miniguinea

"Overheard a convo a mom was having with her pre/early teen daughter at a restaurant once. I was their server."

"Essentially daughter had to go live with her dad because they didn't have enough room in moms new family."

"The specific phrase 'I have a new family now' was used. I haven't mentioned it yet, but mom was preggo."

"Lots of tears and mom came across as a complete a**hole."

~ ElbisCochuelo1

Sometimes we as a society are too judgmental.

But there are times it's really difficult not to judge someone's words or actions.

What do you find hard not to judge?

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
