Judgey McJudgerson
I have some serious judgment going on at society in general at the moment.
We have an ad up for a new position at work and I'm responsible for screening the emails/resumes. If the ad asked for a detailed cover letter and salary requirements, wouldn't it maybe be a good idea to include those? To oh, I don't know, show a potential future employer that you're capable of following directions? So I'm judging all of these people who obviously want jobs but can't follow directions.
And then I'm judging their parents. WTF were some of these people thinking when naming their children? Preschus, Adamanthiane, Kryteena, Artrotunda and Sharlarena. Why would you do this to your poor child? And I'm sorry, but I just can't picture myself saying "Preschus, there's a call for you on line 2" or "Oh, you'll need to speak with Preschus about that". It just sounds wrong.
Do you have any judgments to share?
Re: Judgey McJudgerson
First off I would eliminate all those apps that aren't complete.
As for names I judge parents that give their kids redic names too and I judge people that don't know their name! Yes I have people that come into my office that don't know their name.
I judge people with grungy kids. I don't mean food on their face or messy hair because my daughter looks like this 50% of the time. But when your kid comes in with horribly dirty clothes on several occasions and looks like she hasn't had a bath in over 2 weeks well then you need to be smacked across the face and fixed.
I agree with you about the poor name choices, but I really feel for the poor kid that gets stuck with it. It really isn't their fault.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
I judge parents who name their kids stupid things, too.
I think it's kind of obvious that I judge my half-sister, but I also sort of judge my dad for not giving two shiits about the whole mess, and her friends for being all, "OMG Yay!!! Can't wait!!! Congrats!" on the event page (yes, she invited everyone to dinner through a FB event).
I have said this before, but I judge people who smoke in non-smoking areas, especially enclosed spaces. WTF?
Jessie, I'm skipping right over the ones who aren't providing the information I asked for. Part of me wants to email them back and say 'I'm sorry you've been disqualified from this position because you did not provide the requested information', but then I think, whats the point.
While I'm all for *reasonable* unique/different names, its really the spelling that gets me. If you want to name your kid Precious then by all means, go for it, but don't spell it Preschus.

I don't mind unique names. However I don't like when people make up names or spellings of names - Kimberly is just that, not Kymberleigh. It is utterly ridiculous and projects their need for attention on to their children. Get over yourself. NEXT.
I judge people who don't give gifts at weddings or showers.
Yeah, when I say 'stupid' names, for the most part that means stupid spellings of names. There are a few unique names that aren't my taste but I don't judge them, though I suppose I might judge if someone named their kid Kleenex or something.
I judge people who don't give wedding gifts (or at least a card), though that might be me with my half-sister.
I judge myself b/c I'm turning into a huge snob.
We were at some of DH's grocery stores last night so he could check tortilla stock. Sat in the car and read.
Judged the man walking w/ oxygen tank but smoking a cigarette
Judged the couple who was arguing and dropping F bombs while their toddler was right there
Judged the neighborhood we were in. We were the only white people and I was kinda scared to be in the car alone reading my fancy Kindle.
I judge Laura's half sister.
I also judge my coworker w/ 2.5 kids who's FI doesn't work, they can't pay the bills, one car is broke down, the other was just in an accident, the pre-teen daughter was suspended for drinking at school, the toddler had teeth pulled b/c it ate too much sugar, but the coworker just had another baby.
What the F is wrong w/ me?? Who the hell do I think I am to be such a biitch?!?!? Yeesh. Can someone give me a big slap?
So, if it makes you feel any better, you can sit next to me on my biitch couch.
oh, I am VERY judgemental today. Here we go:
1. I judge those people who use coupons and take forever ONLY when the coupons aren't for the items they are buying! I was at target, lady in front of me had a handful of coupons. She was taking forever to check out b/c more than half of the gianormous pile of couons were for items that she didn't buy! If the coupon says a brand/size, etc. DON'T try and use it on something else you freak. I'm shopping on my lunch break and don't have time for this crap! For everyone that uses coupons properly, keep on keeping on!
2. I judge people who can't do things for themselves. Everyone should be able to have some level of dependence. If you can't manage to figure out how to attach an item to an email, or how to follow reservation instructions on a website, etc. then give me half of your salary and I'll do it for you. Otherwise, shut up and do it yourself, b/c I get paid less than you and have to do it for myself.
3. I judge myself for having a hard time losing weight!
4. I judge fake people. Stop being two faced. It makes me want to puke.
I've heard of this before and a study was done (or something similar) on it. It's crazy that parents don't think about the child's future when randomly picking letters to name a child.
I judge my sister for not leaving her baby at home, with my mom to watch, while she's able to get job but her husband couldn't (he was just hired thank goodness!!). Grow up, leave your child and do what needs to be done for your family and get off the damn food stamps that I'm working hard and doing without so you can enjoy yoru meat market meat and live at home with mama and daddy.
I judge parents who don't care about their children. Please don't have them (and continue to have them) while you're at home doing who knows what with who knows who. It's not cool and your child(ren) are suffering.
I judge myself for not losing weight (right there with you Mol)!
I know there's more but I can't think right now.
Where do I start?
I judge my co-worker who makes comments about having to pay child support for his 18 year old daughter. He says he wished he had his penis cut off so he never would have had a kid. Why do those who pay child support complain? You made a kid you have to pay to support them.
I judge the damn people at the grocery store who get in my way. Dude, your freaking slow get the hell outta my way. Not only that but they block the aisle...ugh.
I judge people who wear too much perfume/cologne. Yes, the reason I'm gagging is because you are wearing the whole bottle.
I judge myself for wearing the same pair of flip flops to work everyday, but I don't feel like putting much effort into my shoe selection.
I also judge everyone that Brew judges.
YES! People who wear too much perfume/cologne and grocery aisle-blockers are added to my list.
Also slow walkers who don't get out of the way, people who walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk, and groups who think it's necessary to walk 4 or 5 across and block the entire sidewalk.
This bothers me sooo much. I usually give them stink eye.
Seriously! Didn't we learn to stay to the right when walking when we were in like kindergarten? Ugh!
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
People that walk 3 or more abroad and in the middle of the sidewalk I walk between them and push them outta the way. I don't care if they're gonna be rude so am I.
I also judge really old people that drive literally 5 miles an hour during rush hour. They have no need to wake up at 7 am they can make their dr appts for 11. Stay away!
I judge people that live off the state that are perfectly capable of getting a job. IMO they should only be allowed benefits for a certain time period.

I also judge this, which I found in a ML post:
http://guestlistapp.com/events/55614
Holy tacky! I'm sad that my husband has to share a birthday with that person.

i am only 47283 years late on this.
i judge EVERYTHING. everything. i am a snobby *** (gerren says it is my worst fault)
-smokers in general, specifically people smoking in front of their kids
-skanks in any form
-the male version of a skank
- white hippies (by this i mean dreadlock wearing, horrible dancing, pot smoking white hippies who think they are so alternative. news flash, your not.)
-republicans
-flame away, but i often judge religious people. i dont have a good logic except that i think people who look down on other people for not following a religion like you do are worth being judged i guess.

I didn't really have any judges today then I went to Walmart. So I have plently.
I went to walmart to pick up trash cans. Online said they had 2 in. I get there and of course there wasn't any on the shelf. So I polietly ask a worker she tells me "I don't know you will have to find the manager of this department. His name is Phil, tall with gray hair. You will probably find him somewhere around here." umm.. no you work here good customers service is you find him for me. Next she tells me "or you can take the price tag to another department and they can look it up for you but remember to put the tag back." Again, good customer service you should be doing this for me. I found out that they in fact did not have in stock even though online said they did. I also judge this
Leaving walmart so kid walked out with his sweat pant not even remotely on his azz. it was like shirt all of boxers and than the beginning of his pants. PULL UP YOU PANTS!.
I also judge the name thing.
and everything brew stated
Wow!
I am late to the party.
For the record I would judge everything you all mentioned. I feel like the more of this I see the more I am turning into a snob.
I think I can agree with all those posted.
On behalf of my sister, I judge the mom who let her child untie an entire rack of swimsuits at the store my sister works at. Even after my sister asked the kid to stop.
I judge the other bridesmaids in my best friend's wedding for having a shower on Memorial day weekend, and for the so far, lackluster planning that's been put into this party. I'm pretty sure it's jumped into the realm of tacky.
I judge (another) couple getting married for:
*having a 2 hour ceremony followed by 2 hour cocktail, followed by 4 hour reception,
*having a honeymoon registry for their trip to Tahiti. They also left out a space on the RSVP card to write in your name and didn't realize it.
I judge myself for having bought this purse, especially since I was so anti-coach. But for $120, I couldn't pass it up.
i judge frequent walmart shoppers as a whole. not you, but walmart yes. i loathe going to that store.
Blog
Just to clarify, I shop there for work only! I loathe going there as well.
