We all judge each other, it's human nature. We need to be able to make quick judgements: "is it safe to cross the street here?", "is this person telling the truth or trying to rip me off?", etc.

But there are certain things that we judge each over that some might consider petty. Clothing style, hairstyle, accent, all are quite superficial, really.

Reddit user Dent15 asked:

What are some small things that you silently judge people on?

A lot of these are less petty and more practical, if you ask me.

There's already enough noise without adding to it.

If someone gives their child an iPad in a public place with the volume turned all the way up, I immediately hate them.

Everyone secretly judges them. 

When they don't care that their kids are running amok in a restaurant.

It's not a contest. 

If they have to one up everything. I hate that.

Along those lines, when I tell a story and the other person says, “That's nothing" before proceeding to tell their story. Look, just because you have a story you THINK is better doesn't mean what I said is nothing. I hate that phrase so much.

Keep it to yourself. 

Talking on speaker phone in a public place. I didn't ask to hear about your cousin's ingrown toenail.

Nobody is right all the time. 

If people can admit it when they're wrong. It baffles me how many people I've met that are so afraid of saying "yeah I guess I messed up on that".

Also, how people react when someone says they were wrong. When someone openly admits that they were wrong, there's no need to go into a full "I told you so" celebration.

Why would you do this?

Lack of awareness about phone usage really puts salt in my pepper grinder.

Someone almost rode their bike into me recently because they were trying to cycle and text at the same time.

There's no such thing as too many. 

I'm going to interpret small as "petty."

The count and content of the stickers on your car.

It only takes a few seconds to tidy.

Edit: be kind to your waitress/waiter/host etc. It's easy and the right thing to do.

It's right there! 

People who just leave their carts in the parking lot instead of walking the four feet to the designated area to put it back so it doesn't go slamming into someone's car.

It takes 2 seconds to check. 

Misspelling people's names when they had the opportunity to check (eg in email- the person's name is right there!). It shows carelessness.

People Share Their Parents' Insults That Still Haunt Them As Adults

People are required to have a license to drive, fish, and have certain jobs.

So it boggles my mind that people aren't required to have a license to have kids.

Some of the cruelest and most vicious things I've ever heard were words uttered by a parent to a child.

As an adult, I was haunted by a few thigs.

I can't imagine the scaring of an adolescent.

A tough realization that most of us have to process and accept at some point is the fact that our parents lied to us when we were kids.

But the tougher fact to process may not be the lying itself, but some of the lies that were told along the way.

With theaters finally open to those wanting the ultimate entertainment experience that streaming movies at home can't provide, the pandemic that kept many venues closed now feels like a distant memory.

There's nothing like seeing a film up on the big screen the way Hollywood studios intended, and many would argue that experience is worth shelling out the cash for.

That being said, there is no assurance audiences will remain in their seats until the credits roll at the end.

Because not all movies are created equal. Some are just embarrassingly bad and not worth sticking around for.

People Explain Which Things They No Longer Have Any Patience For

If there was one good thing to come out of the pandemic, it was that it made us all the more appreciative of all that is good in our lives.

No one ever appreciated the importance of friends or family more, having to be kept apart from each other for months, or the little things which bring us joy, which we made sure to keep doing even as pandemic restrictions were lifted.

Of course, being alone with our thoughts for such a long time also resulted in our reflecting on things in our lives, or in the world in general, which we were less than happy about.

Not to mention the all-important realization that life is short and precious, and we don't have time to waste our thoughts on some things.
