Judgement Tag

Tagged by the lovely Broom to write about what we judge, who we judge and why. Calculus always tells me that I have two sets of rules – one for myself and one for the rest of the world. After this tag, I think I may have to agree with him !

- I tend to judge people whose written and/or spoken English is not too good. I expect people to write/speak grammatically correct English, though I don’t do it myself many a times.
- I judge people by the car they drive. I have my own hierarchy of cars that I like and think are cool and those that are way too-uncool. I judge people who drive big cars and four wheel drives as being totally irresponsible and environmentally unfriendly. Yet I love big gas-guzzlers and would love to own one myself. And if you don’t drive, well I don’t even know what to say.
- I judge people on the educational qualifications they have. I have had to stop myself so many times from rejecting CVs outright of candidates who don’t have a master’s qualification or an engineering degree.
- I judge people by the clothes they wear and how well groomed they are.
- I judge people who don’t have an ipod. Come on, how can one NOT have even a single ipod. And no, I don’t get any commission nor do I have any shares in Apple.
- I judge people who don’t cook at home and tend to eat out a lot. I would love to eat out more often myself, just that because I am vegetarian my options are rather limited and so we tend not to.
- I judge people who shop at Primark (a cheap fashion store), though I do it sometimes in secret and don’t admit it to anyone.
- I judge people who 'put-on' accents. I find it really annoying.
- I judge people who are slow to learn stuff. I pick up stuff quite fast and mostly need to be told how to do things only once, so I am quick to judge people who learn slowly.

Gosh, I am going to stop now – I did not realise I was so judgemental myself till I put this all down.

Thanks to Broom, by the end of this tag, none of us are going to have any friends left!!
