I judge people for _________________________.

I'm assuming you mean "negatively judge," not "evaluate on the basis of" -- the latter list would be much longer. :)

...incorrect grammar or (more often) spelling.
...treating restaurant servers etc. poorly.
...being significantly (more than, say, 15m) late to an appointment with me and not contacting me, unless they're stuck in the T or something.
...treating women according to untrue stereotypes.

That last one is tricky. If someone with significant upper body strength offers to help me lift something requiring strong arms, I'm not gonna get offended. If they offer because I'm female and thus shouldn't lift things, well.

Bigotry
Saying they "don't care" about correct spelling
Taking the elevator down one floor

Oh, hell... can't I just do the short list of what I *don't* judge people for?

* what they ARE (vs. what they DO)
* -ever (people change, and my map ought to be able to adjust)

[zevinboots.livejournal.com]

Being mean.

fun and profit!

(well, not really, but it sounded good in my head :)

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Kicks.

[signsoflife.livejournal.com]

being incurious
behaving parochially
focusing on form over content
confusing prejudice with principles

. . . and by how they judge other people.

[dilletante.livejournal.com]

judging people. ;)

giving flip answers to otherwise thought-provoking questions.

grammar, spelling, logical fallacies, shallow answers to interesting questions, judgement by easy stereotypes, lack of compassion. (not sure any of these are appropriate, but i do sometimes.)

* behaving inconsiderately to people around them
* expressed disinterest in personal development
* being young
* eating at crappy restaurants
* driving cars I think are bad (ugly, wasteful, unsafe, etc)
* failure to listen

the broad strokes, good for either meaning of judge

[amber-phoenix.livejournal.com]

how they treat other people, especially children
how aware/analytical they are of privilege
how much they are guided by fear

and, the ones i think make me look less good...
how they speak, write and comprehend
how they carry themselves
how they dress
how they eat
how skilled they are

- judging people on grammar
- neglecting data
- shoddy argumentation

[muffyjo]

...owning their stuff, walking and talking to the same tune and for the kindness they show others.

damned if you do, etc

... being me.
... not being me.

Mostly hypocrisy.

[sarahshevett.livejournal.com]

Lying, arrogance and hypocrisy.

[bloodstones.livejournal.com]

a giant list of things that all basically fall into the category of 'not being aware of one's surroundings, in particular when that inconveniences other people' (ie. parallel parking in a way that takes up two parking spaces, stopping one's car to drop someone off in such a way that no one can get around you, or crossing the street without paying attention to the cars).

I also judge people for things like not sweating when they go to the gym because they're not working out hard enough to break a sweat, but I try to keep that sort of thing under control, whereas I feel totally justified for the former category of judgment.

...general obliviousness.
...being ignorant and proud of it.

whining
jay walking, at night, while wearing only dark colors

- interpretation
- skating skills

Failure to live up to one's responsibilities, especially with regard to children. (I appear to have developed a particular peeve on this one about fathers, for some odd reason.)

[dougo.livejournal.com]

jumping to conclusions
littering (seriously, what the hell?)
lack of self-awareness
superstition
wasting other people's time

[macthud]

... a living.

If only.

But seriously ... I try not to, and not only because I don't like being judged by others.

I am bothered by people, and have been known to step in, when they mistreat others, especially children, and less often, themselves ... and things, too, especially but not only when the things are not "their own" (I have odd and conflicting feelings about "property" and rights thereto)...

I do judge people for willful refusal to learn and/or grow. Which is not the same as failure to do either. And I am slow to reach conclusions -- I really do try to give people every benefit of the doubt.
