Let’s face it, even those of us we’d consider the least judgmental will judge people from time to time. After all, it’s a pretty big part in how we form opinions on others.
Plus, there are a lot of people out there who act like they’ve been raised in a barn. So when the people of Reddit shared the things they silently judge others for , we couldn’t help but agree.
There’s a time and place for everything.
“Watching videos at full volume in public. I don’t understand this.”
There’s this wonderful invention that goes perfectly with your phone or tablet. They’re called headphones.
There are definitely some people out there who act like they don’t know what headphones are.
Imagine caring so much about the way others dress.
“When I hear people [expletive] talking someone due to their appearance/ clothes. So [expletive] shallow but its not worth calling people like that out.”
Unless someone’s wearing a truly offensive shirt or something, it costs zero dollars to not care how someone else dresses.
You have to wonder how some people act in their own homes…
“I hate when [people] leave their paper coffee cup on a random shelf in Walmart when they’re done with it. That’s so gross and entitled. Throw away your own garbage.”
Please, you’re not the center of the universe.
“Being obliviously in the way. Like getting to the end of an escalator and just standing there. Or standing with a group of people in a doorway or aisle. Or stopping to stare at your phone in the middle of the sidewalk.”
You should never have to worry about what a friend might be saying about you to others.
“Gossiping, like people who only gossip. Because you know that if they gossip to you about everyone else they’re gossiping about you to other people too.”
While studies show that some gossip might be good , beware of people who gossip a little too much.
It’s like some people are allergic to good hygiene.
“Leaving the bathroom without washing your hands. I’m not touching that door handle with my bare hands when I leave and definitely won’t be shaking your hand later.”
I might be biased because this is a personal pet peeve of mine, but please wash your hands. Don’t be gross.
If people knew how to drive properly, there would be less drivers with road rage out there.
“The only time I feel I judge people like this is when I’m driving. Speed up, pay attention to the road, use your signals, and don’t be an idiot. It’s not that hard.”
The only thing worse than littering is projectile littering.
“Throwing trash out the window of their car.”
Another commenter added, “This!! I see so many smokers flicking their cigarette butch out the window when they are done with it. I am boiling inside every time. They lose my respect instantly.”
Is it really that hard to put your cart away?
“When I see you just leave your cart in the parking lot and not return it.”
No, it’s not that hard. I feel like there are two kinds of people in the world: people who don’t put their carts away, and decent human beings.
All the Mickaiyghlahs of the world, rise up.
“When a parent gives a child a ‘unique’ name that’s obviously not specific to their culture, but a misspelled or made up name like ‘Spenser’ or ‘Alivia’ or ‘Mayson.’
Some people think their germs are our business.
“Coughing and sneezing directly into their hands.”
Another user added their own story: “I was at a ballpark waiting for my food and the person serving me blew their nose with their gloves on and then proceeded to plate my food.” Gross.
Being nice. What a concept.
“Rudeness and all its iterations: littering, treating service staff poorly, being insensitive to people who are disadvantaged due to poverty, disability or racial/cultural background.
“It costs nothing to be polite and kind. It says more about you than the person you’re being rude to when you act poorly towards others.”
Seatbelts save lives, people!
“Bad car seat safety with kids. It takes 2 seconds to properly buckle, if you’re too lazy for that, I’m judging.”
Research estimates that 51% of car crash fatalities in 2020 were among people not wearing seatbelts, and thousands of lives could’ve been saved if people were wearing them properly. It’s kind of a no-brainer.

Cleaning up after yourself shouldn’t be hard.
“People who don’t clear their own tables in McDonalds or other fast food places. It literally takes a few seconds to go over to the provided bins.”
What makes it worse is when these people say, “it’s someone’s job to clean that up.” Like, have a little compassion.
Walking single-file is kind of underrated, to be honest.
“People who walk in groups two or three wide on a narrow footpath but don’t even try to move for those coming the other way. I get that most are oblivious but the ones I really judge are those who think they’ve just won a game of chicken or need others to move to feel validated.”
Some people just really love complaining.
“Complaining all the time and not changing anything about it. My mom’s best friend always complains about back pain and when she’s told to go to the doctor she always says that she’s fine but goes on complaining two minutes later. Either change something about it or stop complaining.”
Too much screen time isn’t a good thing.
“Parents raising their kids on tablets. Like literally every waking minute those kids are on a device.”
For clarification, OP isn’t talking about giving your kids a distraction while you get some cooking/cleaning done. They’re talking about people who hand their kids a tablet the second they wake up and don’t take it back until bedtime.
A conversation goes two ways.
“Bad listeners. Essentially, people who only want to talk and don’t understand how to converse.”
A commenter added, “And when all they talk about is how them, their family members and friends are so influential, have so much money, know so many famous people etc..”
Every business should invest in spellcheck.
“Using apostrophe S to pluralize words. And stores whose signage has pluralized words using apostrophe S.”
Like, when people say things like “hero’s” or “shirt’s” when they just mean “heroes” or “shirts.” It can’t be that hard, can it?
If only taking sick days was more socially acceptable…
“People who come to work noticeably sick because they care so much about their work and continues to apologize profusely for constantly sneezing and coughing.
“Don’t be that person who only cares about work but not the health of those around you. Stay home. Nobody wants your germs.”
