No, but I definitely judge people for spelling errors.

Is this a rich school or a poor one?

First, before I get jumped on, I am home with my sick child and not on dcum during work hours.

My school is a a mix of middle and working class of all races. My unscientific analysis over the years has led me to this conclusion. I have noticed that students with cheap androids are the better academic students. The android kids are also more respectful. There are outliers of course.

I had a 7 until it died a few months ago because I didn’t want to give up the home button.

My personal phone is a iPhone 7 Plus and my work phone is a iPhone 13. If you put them next to each other, besides the camera, they operate the same.


I only judge when people have broken shattered screens and are basically cutting their fingers just to send a text.

I judge people who use their cell phones so much that I notice what they use. Can't they, say, go out to dinner without constantly pulling the thing out to check for new messages?

Otherwise, I only really notice when the person in question is using a device that is out of character for that person. Old lady with a fancy new model or college kid with a flip phone, for example. Oh, and anything with a smashed screen.

I'm not sure why people have a problem with others who choose to use older models. Presumably, they prefer other forms of communication and have a device that suits their needs and with which they are comfortable.

Oh, I will admit that I do sort of judge people who use numbers with out-of-area area codes as their primary phone numbers. It can be confusing and is also annoying to those who have to pay long-distance charges to call them. If you move, change your number (and maybe have the old one forwarded).

I judge people who live by their phones. Gross.

I judge all the disgusting social media types.

Social is so trashy!

Yes, it’s much better calling people gross and trashy on an anonymous message board. A mark of true class.

No, I don't even pay attention to any of that.

[Anonymous]

Nope. But in general I mostly judge people on whether they're clean, they smoke or otherwise smell, and if their hair needs to be conditioned.

I judge people who use speaker phone in public areas when they could just use headphones and people who feel the need to take selfies in every random place. It's ridiculous.

[Anonymous]

No I do not notice. I do hate people who think that iphones make them somehow special.

Doesn't work anymore with ATT and TMobile, but Nokia 8110 aka bananaphone is the one to have.

Is this still a thing? I thought they haven't done these charges in 20 years.

[Anonymous]

No.

I've been judged in the past for not having an iphone, it's funny people think this means anything.

[Anonymous]

I judge people with the latest and greatest phone that are cheap in all the other ways.!

[Anonymous]

No, because they all look alike and they are at give-away prices. Your brother would have picked on something else about you, but the phone just happened to be the first thing that came to his head.
