Shit Parking.
If you're driving a 2 ton metal box and can't have the spatial awareness to fit it into a large rectangle, you shouldn't be on the road.
I agree, I shouldn't be on the road. I try to be as safe as I can but I hate driving.

People who don't like cats.
I've noticed a correlation between people who don't like cats and having narcissistic or selfish tendencies. Could be just an impression but that's how I feel.
Oh boy, does this also hold for people who don't like any pets?
I don't like cats, mainly for two reasons:
- I am allergic and they just make me feel bad on a physical level
- Cats, as any animals, require care, and responsible owners add it to the list of their burdens. It's like constantly having a baby that never grows up - cats can wake you up in the middle of the night, force you to remove feces, etc.
I, however, love people, and am far from being selfish or narcissistic. People around me often find me warm, comforting, and supportive.
Huh, I kinda feel the opposite. You need (or at least SHOULD) be very attentive to a pup. Dogs, in general, tend to crave/require more attention. Cats are more hands-off, so they often attract the kinda people who want a pet for the sake of having a pet - which tend to be narcissistic types.*
*not true of all cat people
Interesting. My reasoning is that narcissistic people crave attention, which cats may not give so overtly as a dog. Basically for a dog, a person is a god and some people love that kind of relationship.

In my experience dog owners often like to control another being, cat owners like to just let others be.

Being religious
Whether people read as a hobby or not. As it implies a type of interest into the world around them.
And as a lesser second, what they read.

Using proprietary chat apps like Discord, Telegram, Slack, LINE, Metaβs WhatsApp / Messenger. Still judging on apps that require a SIM & mobile OS (like Android) primary device like Signalβ¦ or an expensive chat protocol like Matrix.
Hosting your code & bug tracker with a propietary forge like Microsoft GitHub when you say you support open sourceβbut donβt even bother to apply the same mentality to your own project.
β¦Oh, the question was βsecretlyβ.

Using "u".
I've tried using "u" but I just can't. "You" is only 2 more letters and "u" sounds really cringe
"k"

Owning giant pickup trucks and SUVs. I'm not that secretive about it, though. I assume everyone driving them is an insecure, overgrown child who wants a big vroom vroom.
If I know anyone who drives one, I always refer to it jokingly as their 'emotional support vehicle".

The speed of their windshield wipers.
Yes! It's barely spitting outside, why are your windscreen wipers trying to break the sound barrier?
Whenever another guy recommends something I find repulsive, for various reasons, I tend to write off most respect I had for that person.
Lately some guys have talked positively about Andrew Tate, and it's just made it easier for me to know who is a gullible prick and who to avoid.
People who brag their infant child is so smart they can use YouTube to find and watch videos when in reality they're shitty parents who got a 2-year old addicted YouTube that's specifically designed to be navigable by kids.

Quite a few;
literally
- if one repeats this in 5 seconds in a conversation.
like
- not against saying like, but when is used in "describing" you will be judged.
obvi
- ugh, I just hate this.
legit
- When I hear legit, all I see is insecurities. DO YOUR RESEARCH, TRUST YOUR GUTS.
And yes, I'm millennial.
Ohh I see you're missing out on the fun side of "legit" Because this is what I am thinking when somebody says "legit"
Also isn't it some kind of skateboard term from the 90's? "Broooo that 720 was legiiit π€"
"Like" is a critical one for me. As a non native speaker it's just so tempting to use. Like in the above example. I would have 100% introduced that direct speech with Like

People who write "rouge" instead of "rogue".
All the people typing "loose" when they mean "lose". Shit's been happening a lot for the past year or two and I don't know why.

Criticizing people for voting 3rd party and then doing nothing to replace first past the post voting.
Okay, I very publicly judge these people. It's not a secret.
