Secretly, I'll pass judgement on someone until I realize I know nothing about them and would be unhappy if someone judged me without knowing anything about me. Then I judge myself for being judgmental.

The roads in my city are as far from flat as you can get. The potholes aren't bad but the roads are build to slope into the gutters and the gutters occasionally cut through the streets like reverse speed bumps, the train tracks are like crossing wagon ruts.

So if I see you rolling around in some luxury sports car with a 3in clearance, I'm going to assume you're too fucking stupid to deserve that much money.

People being shitty to customer service workers and utility, and people not being courteous to them.

Heck, I sometimes judge people for not thanking service workers and utility. For example: if a janitor lets you pass a hallway they've been busy cleaning, I'd silently judge you if you don't thank the janitor for letting you pass. Another example is in a fast food setting: if the person on the counter gives you your order, I'd silently judge you if you don't say "thank you".

I find it rude when people on the bus put their bag on the empty seat next to them, so that you have to ask them to move it when there are no empty rows left. It's strangely hostile to me.

I think its just polite to leave your bag off the seat until the bus is boarded.

Low curiousity/worldliness. Honestly makes me think someone is either dull or maybe depressed

Being completely unaware of anyone else:

• Standing in doorways, using your phone or having a conversation
• Talking loudly when inappropriate, when I’m in pain at the doctors, I don’t want to hear about your roses
• leaving your shopping trolley blocking the aisle sideways in the supermarket while looking for your stuff
• driving down the middle of the road so everyone else has to pull over, when there’s plenty of room for two cars to pass
• stopping in the middle of the road without indicating, while: looking for your destination, or having a conversation, or deciding what day it is
• riding your delivery bike down the footpath at high speed weaving between pedestrians

As Jean-Paul Sartre said, “Hell is other people”.

Speaker on a phone call in public. For that matter, any sound from a phone in public.

If you cannot chew with your mouth closed and you are older than 6 years, you should not be allowed to vote, operate heavy machinery or have children.

There’s this dude at the gym who watches netflix on his phone between sets, taking 10+ minute breaks while people wait in line to use the machine.

I normally try to be charitable about these things. I have no idea if he has some type of fatigue issue or something along those lines justifying the long breaks, right?

But I need to actively push my thoughts in this direction, in some probably misguided attempt to cultivate kindness within my own life. Truth is there’s just something infuriating about watching a movie while sitting in the building’s only leg extension

Not using headphones in public. I’m done being quiet about it tho

Listening to Tik-Toks or other stuff like that on speakers in public.

"Passive income" if you describe yourself as having a passive income, I want nothing to do with you.

Passive income is a myth - all income requires labor... if you're getting income without putting in labor then you're stealing someone else's income.

Not using their turn signals if the only other traffic is pedestrians.

So many times I’ve been crossing an intersection to the opposite corner where I could cross either street first, so I pick the street that won't block the car crossing the other way. They’re not signalling so I figure they’re going straight, and cross the other way so they won’t have to wait for me—but seemingly every time it turns out the car was really turning after all. So they’re stuck because they couldn’t conceive of pedestrians as traffic they need to communicate with.

Talking loudly on the phone, while on public transport.

Nothing.

I'm very vocal in my judgements.

For being british.
