People do that? I've never heard anyone SAY "lol" in my life.

Sadly, I have. And "brb", "rofl" and "omg".

I also judge people who use text speak (such as lol or omg) in professional communications (such as emails to colleagues).

I really enjoy judging people who do not use capital letters where appropriate.

I also judge parents who see their kids acting out in a restaurant setting and do nothing about it. I am trying to eat and hold a conversation. I cannot do that with your child attempting to climb into my booth (while you and your husband are ignoring him or her).

Tell that to the mother of the child who decided to PULL MY HAIR. Or because I love the movie Cars and my little made me a custom Cars bag, lean over the ENTIRE time to look at it and comment.

I have been known to speak in text once in a while. But only when supergiddy or sarcastic in mood. Except I do regularly use: BRB, OMG, WTF (but a lot of people I know do that), and a few other common ones.

Yikes. I do not hate kids. However, when I go out to eat, I expect people to keep their children to themselves.

When you see your kid attempting to climb into my lap (to get to my ice cream that she wanted), you need to do something about it.

I'm not saying you need to borderline abuse him or her in public, but you need to let him or her know that you can't climb into strangers laps and interrupt their meals (while Mom and Dad ignore you).

I also judge people who give in to their kids tantrums when they start begging inside a store. What's wrong with just saying "no" and leaving it at that? I do that with kids I babysit all the time.

I generally judge people individually by their character and their actions.

I really don't care what religion you are or aren't. Chances are, for at least a week of my freshman year, I thought I was going to convert to whatever it is your religion is, anyway. (Freshman year was a bad time.) But I will judge you (or smack you, maybe?) if you try to push your beliefs on me.

I hate bad spelling and grammar, but I'm surrounded by engineers, computer programmers, and accountants. No one can spell. I edit business valuations where every other word is randomly capitalized. All of these people are brilliant despite their unpolished English skills. So while I cringe, I've decided to just be glad they have this weakness - they'll always need me around to help them with something

Now, I am incredibly shallow, because I HATE it when you are just plain nasty. It's called hygiene, people. Take a shower. Maintain yourselves (is it that hard to take care of your hair? to use some lotion? to just BE CLEAN?). And don't go out in public until you have figured all this out. Unless you have a really good excuse, I do not want to be able to smell you, and I do not want to see you in your pajamas or with your hair in rollers or any other such thing. Bathe, put on clean clothes (real clothing!), and THEN leave home. I think maybe I am spending too much time in the Wal-Mart, because this has just been killing me lately. People are disgusting!

Yes, yes, yes and yes!

I especially Loathe the use of Random capital Letters. Why? Do you think that puts More Emphasis on a word if You capitalize It?

Oh, and on that front, I hate it when people put a word in quotations marks to emphasize it. I know you "really" want me to notice what you're saying, but there are such things as italics. Hell, all caps if you're desperate. But not quotation marks!

In real life, my presuppositions kick in ALL THE TIME. But I consciously try to suppress those thoughts and get to know people. That switch in my mind has become second nature now that I've been doing it for a while, so I get a blip of a thought and then I ignore it. My most challenging bias is against whites which is nonsensical and foolish, but it's where I am right now.

Now...after I've gotten to know someone, I might just not click with them. For one, I can't stand to be around insecure people. I get to a point where I'm literally disgusted with them and have to continuously remind myself that they are where they are in their lives and they've had completely different experiences than I have.

On Greek Chat...it's different. Y'all are mostly just screen names in oblivion. Half of y'all could just be smart computers and not human beings for all I know.

Are you being serious with this or facetious?

[DrPhil]

Oh goodness, so now making claims and conclusions based on religious texts is not making a judgment but rather living by some infinite and absolute truth? LOL.

I weep for humanity and religion as a general institution. Yes, I'm making a JUDGMENT.

I judge harder than anyone out there. I defy any of you to judge as hard as me.
