Judging others—it’s something that we all do, all the time. Whether we’re aware of it or entirely subconsciously, we’re constantly evaluating and interpreting the world around us. Making comments about people and situations in our heads. Checking how the world conforms to how we imagine it should be like. And frowning upon anyone who litters!
After being prompted to open up by redditor u/supercoliofy, internet users began sharing the things that make them silently judge people. Taking a deep dive into their comments is enlightening: we’ve judged people for similar things; we’ve done some of the things in this list that deserve judgment.
Read on for some silent judgment-gone-loud, upvote the posts you agree with, and drop on by the comment section to share your opinions, dear Pandas. Do bamboo thieves make you angry? Do you think people give other bears more recognition? We’re very interested to hear what makes you silently judge someone.
Bored Panda reached out to Lee Chambers, a Psychologist and Wellbeing Consultant, to talk about why we judge other people, as well as what role this plays in our lives.
“Judging others is something that we as humans do, both consciously and automatically, and there are a number of reasons why we do it. Comically, we are often told as children not to judge others and have stories shared about how judging others can mean we upset them or lose opportunities to see what really lies behind our perception,” he told Bored Panda.

People who have no awareness of their surroundings when they’re out in public.
It doesn’t cost anything to wait your turn in a queue, hold a door open for someone, turn on your indicators 10 seconds earlier than you just did, or not block off the entire pavement because you want to hold hands with your husband / wife.
It’s so selfish. Drives me mad just thinking about it.
Thank you for the gold, kind stranger.

People walking toward you that don’t put equal effort into avoiding collision. I’ll move a bit, but you should do the same. You expect me to walk around you?

Not using a turn signal when driving. It’s not that hard, and it’s pretty arrogant not to use one

If you can’t get within the lines the first time, it’s ok to adjust.

There’s nothing I dislike more than when a husband feels like he has to act like his wife’s authority while other people are around. I hate gender roles in relationships

Constantly posting condescending political rants on facebook.

Anyone who adopts a “whatever” policy to being late. I freak out when I’m late for something, and it absolutely blows my mind when people just don’t care.
