People Ponder Behavior That Will Make Them Immediately Judge a Stranger

There are a lot of actions that people commit within our society that defy unspoken common etiquette. Well, not even unspoken, sometimes people just refuse to abide by established etiquette. I'm no saint, but I try to be as respectful and decent to the individuals around me as possible.

You definitely have a few specific pet peeves. Myself? Well, I'm not a fan of littering, you should always clean up after your pet and understand the common convenience rules for operating within a grocery store. I'd like to think I'm not judgmental, but, at the end of the day, we all are to some extent. Sometimes other people just make the world a little bit worse for the rest of us.

This very discussion was brought up in an /r/askreddit thread by the user /u/FawnTi when they asked, "What can a stranger do that will immediately make you judge them?" Of course, many users were ready to throw their hats in the ring and discuss what makes them deem a stranger a less-than-ideal individual. Check out the best, and most relatable, responses below.

    Font - melancholia_____ • 14h Watch a video on full blast, without headphones where it is very clearly inappropriate. Or scream at their kids, in front of a bunch of strangers. I think it's absolutely humiliating for a child and it is very telling of how they are to the child all the time.

    Font - llcucf80 16h ● Many years ago I was in a department store and there was this guy and wife or girlfriend and they had a kid with them. I'm assuming the kid was his mother's son and the guy was his stepdad. It was probably near back to school time because I guess they were going to be buying his school supplies. In any case I overheard the stepdad several times over yelling at the kid, kept telling him to put stuff back, saying something like his mom's child support checks have to buy his b

    Font - 2gecko1983 15h Let their children run freely in a crowded parking lot. I am probably one of the most non-judgmental people you will ever meet, but if my brakes get tested because you are not paying attention and your kid runs in front of my car, my inner Karen will come out. You have been warned.
