People who drink or take drugs to excess, pass out and are subsequently molested or injured bear some measure of responsibility for their behavior and putting themselves in harms way Many Republicans (and I was one once) have turned from the fiscally responsible types I looked up to, into an irredeemable pack of avaricious shits waging war on science and modernity. Single parent female headed households often do a poor job of properly socializing young male and female children, especially those with dominant or aggressive personalities who need a firm hand. People who litter should be tied to posts and publicly whipped ---

That there are a lot of people who shouldn’t wear some types of clothes. I know it isn’t my choice, and it doesn’t affect me personally, but I hate seeing huge muffin tops and 200 pounds of woman in 150 pounds of clothes. Just buy clothes that fit, dammit! Buy styles that work with your body! That tattoos are all pretty darned silly. I also think people need to lay off the cellphones a whole lot. What did we do before we could have boring, mundane conversations with other people 24/7? Picky eaters irritate me - just friggin’ eat regular food, already! White framed glasses/sunglasses=douchebags. I call these doucheglasses. Little plaid hats =douchebags. I call these douchehats. People who have too many kids or drive too large a vehicle or live in too large a house are taking more than their share. This one is kind of hypocritical, because pretty much everyone in North America is taking more than their share just by being alive. People under the age of 18 who commit crimes that victimize other people need to have serious consequences for their actions. Like, real consequences, not a couple of months of counselling. ---

And I like my friends! But I would never even get a Sanskrit tattoo, and I’m Indian - but am not exactly fluent in Sanskrit. I do have a tattoo of an Om, but like I said, I’m Hindu! I heard of, or knew someone, (hey it was decades ago. I can’t remember shit like that) who had a tattoo in Chinese. I don’t remember what he _wanted_, but what he _got_ was “I am a donkey”. He got it done by someone who actually _knew_ Chinese, who “corrected it” for him. ---

I judge people who treat their bodies like a garbage can, eating a diet comprised primarily of high fat, low protein, high carb, low nutrition junk like fast food. So when I see someone chowing down on greasy crap like McDonald’s, Burger King, or Pizza Hut, I judge them. I don’t judge overweight people, I judge people- overweight, underweight, or otherwise- who ingest that crap, especially when it’s a staple of their diet. There’s no reason anyone needs a thirty-two ounce cup of high-fructose sugar water, let alone several of them a week (or a day). You’re just contributing to the prevalence of these companies and strengthening their market share, not to mention mistreating yourself. Do yourself a favor- try to live a healthier lifestyle. ---

I live in Seattle and he didn’t have any type of accent. I was so confused. I never see ANYONE with confederate flags here, let alone a black person. Black ironic hipster! 😉 Women who change their last names after marriage (and the men who support it), are… very very strange. My mind has problem with that. BTW, I grew up in a place where that is not the norm, and that was not a problem. Also, I find it even weirder and strange when adult women have no problem changing from the names that has been theirs all the life, theirs!, and yet balk and think it is low-class, child abuse, tacky, etc. when another culture pierces the ears of baby girls. ---

People who are habitually disgusted/personally offended by what the general public weighs, dresses like, or chooses to decorate themselves with, are close-minded and overly self-involved. Also, usually, old, and none too pleasing to look at themselves. ---

I judge people based on their weight. I’m from a fat family. And it is completely a result of their choices (eating a lot of butter and sodas, not exercising). When I see someone waddling along, I think “Wouldn’t you be happier if you weighed less?” At some point, those people were twenty pounds overweight. They could’ve changed their lifestyle then. That’s what I did, so I get to be judgmental. ---

> [@jabiru](#): > > Me too. And my mother was so concerned I’d be ‘spoiled’ that she made me feel like a useless piece of crap. I guess that’s spoiled. Same here…they went out of their way to make sure I’d never be spoiled. I don’t understand the “turn a corner and go into the closest lane”. That makes no sense to me. I turn every day at a light. When it’s green/clear I move immediately into the farthest left lane, because I will have to turn in a bit and I may as well move all the way over there now when it’s clear. Personally I hate when people turn into the closest lane and immediately swerve into the left lanes. Just be predictable. When I turn it is clear where I am going. And then I stay in that lane until I make my left. I don’t switch lanes on the way. Pants down around ankles and littering are also pretty assholish things. ---

> [@TXRebel](#): > > When I see someone ahead of me in the grocery store using their food stamp card I judge the groceries in their basket. As a former 20-year-old grocery store employee, I assure you the checkers do nothing but judge _everyone_ who comes through their line based on physical appearance, what they’re buying, and how they’re paying for it. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I got the 300-pound woman with food stamps (sorry, “Independence Card”), WIC checks, and two carts full of junk food and thought, “Lady, that package of Double-Stuf Oreos is NOT one serving.” Or the rickety old man buying the mega-pack of Depends and a case of Hormel Chili with Beans, “Dude, you’re really not doing yourself any favors, are you?” ---

I judge men who never take their hats off. They are an affectation. Especially those stupid knit numbers pulled down to their eyebrows. They are either bald (not a bad thing, why try to hide it with a hat?) or both the hair and the hat are fetid, smelly and soaked with dirt. Not an attractive look, whatever emo look you’re trying to have. ---

> [@Scholar\_Beardpig](#): > > People who fuck around with their cell phones when in the company of others. > > Look, I appreciate the utility of the text message. It’s great for sending short messages that don’t require a reply - like an address, or a telephone number, or a shopping list. Et cetera. And, at the same time, I can appreciate that you will often want to text somebody back, perhaps with a quick communication to the effect that you got the message, acknowledge, and are carrying it out.

**People with neck tattoos are white trash.** Dunno why I have a problem with this. Aren’t neck tattoos getting more common? It just looks bad. ☹ **Poor people who smoke are dumb.** Smoking is expensive. I guarantee you are shorting something else in your life just to be able to afford it. If you have children, it’s probably them that are doing without. **If you can’t afford the children you have, don’t make any more children!** This goes for guys as well as ladies. Buy some goddamned condoms and USE them! **Ppl who dnt spel out ther words on the intrnet r stupid** What the hell is happening to the English language? I can see if you’ve got a set character-limit, like on Twitter, but anywhere else, it’s inexcusable. **Most slash fanfiction writers are insufferable (also slash fan artists)** Most of the time, you’re REALLY reaching to make your chosen ship work. It’s embarrassing to watch. Why not make up your own original characters instead?
