Some of us have filters at work.

If you have that strong of a filter, I wonder how they haven't blocked DCUM yet.

people who are overly judgmental

[Anonymous]

i judge breastfeeders who judge formula feeders who then re-judge the breastfeeders and so on.
apply same logic to the circ debate, vax debate, tv debate, plastic/wooden toy debate.

and repeat.

i also judge moms whose kid falls off a slide, presents with a swollen forearm and limitation of motion of the fingers, and her idea of treating her kid is to give him advil and hop on DCUM for advice instead of taking him for an X-RAY!!!

by the way, it was broken. surprise.

I judge people whose children have clear need of early intervention services, but refuse to have their children evaluated. Their childrn then pay the price for their fear and defensiveness when they can't function in school.

I judge people who get really weirdly attached to their pets. they are animals, not people!

"Re:" should only be used as a note before or after a text, as a tittle of an email, of a post or on a post-it.

I judge people who can't spell/bother to use spell check when criticizing others' grammar. "Judge not lest ye be...."

No, actually; I have plenty of women friends. And, I hate to break it to you -- there are plenty of "school snob" people just like me. And I'm not looking for your friendship or respect; you need not worry.

Ha. You're not making yourself look any better. Who knows, maybe you do have friends, but nice, good people do not like people like you. They may tolerate you and they may even promote you, but they do not like you and they do not want to be like you.

Hmm. I think you've missed the point of this entire thread, which is not to make myself "look any better," but to reveal what I'm judgmental about. (Apparently, my school snobbery really hits a nerve with you; I'm guessing it's because you already feel defensive about your own background.) Regardless, I think you're also missing my point above, which is that I really don't care what you think. If it makes you feel better to think that "people do not like people like [me]," feel free. I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise. I do think that you lead an awfully sheltered life if you think there aren't plenty of people exactly like me. We like each other. And many of us live in Washington. And many of us are nice to your face even if we think you're a dimwit in our private thoughts. That's the beauty of judgment; you can keep it to yourself in the real world.

You know what, if you had half the common sense of the people you put down in your "private thoughts" you'd realize that you're not actually keeping it to yourself. Those of us who you belittle, who actually are not idiots but the way, we just didn't go to Harvard, we see it on your face every time we interact with you. And we don't care what you think of us. What bothers us is that you think so highly of yourself when you're not all that. We KNOW you're just being nice to our face. Believe me, we know.

I once found and publicly called out a poster who was stupid enough to sign her name, "Princeton A.B., Harvard J.D." This particular combination, and a few other catch words, plus my extraordinary research skills allowed me to discover her identity. I identified her by first and last name, along with the firm at which she worked. This person may have gone to fancy schools, but she sure is pretty fucking stupid. And she's gone now. Bub-bye.

John Steinbeck dropped out of Stanford.

And do you "school snobs" discuss where you ranked in your graduating class? The top graduate of Georgetown University is almost surely smarter and better educated than the person at the bottom at Harvard.

My uncle went to Harvard. We found out later he has Fragile X. Go figure.

Have fun with your meaningless snobbery. I went to a name school too and sometimes am tempted to go there. Then I realize the sheer folly of it. I guess you don't.

i am one of these people. i am very attached to my dog...on the same level as my husband, DS or other close family/friends? No. Will I cry for days when its his time...YES. My heart is big and open and I have a lot of space in it for just animals too.

I judge people who think of animals as inanimate objects. No, they're not people, but my goodness, they are alive . Just because they're animals doesn't mean they can be thrown away. Animals have their own types of feelings, fears, enjoyments, comforts etc.

i actually do feel bad if we have to kill a mouse or whatever...but i don't have a relationship bond with that particular mouse and i love my family more than the mouse and wouldn't want them to get sick because of it. if my dog tried to attack my son, i wouldn't keep my dog. but i would still feel awful about it.

do you cry just as hard for the hardships of strangers as you do for your loved ones? probably not. a person would go insane if you felt the same level of emotion for the woman in India who lost her child as if it were your child. i'm not saying you don't think its a terrible thing, but if you felt the same LEVEL of emotion no one would be able to function.

I judge people who do not treat their animals like animals but pretend they are people. I have no problem with people being very attached and loving their pet but respect a dog for being a dog. I can't stand the ninnies who think they are dog experts because they have one and have no idea that feeding him table food, letting him be fat, feeling you are coddling him by letting him sit around and not run outside or believing he would never bite anyone and encourzging kids to ride him are not good things. I can't even comment on the small dog in an outfit and in a purse thing. He is a dog, is happiest as a dog and is not a person.
