People have been sharing the things they secretly judge others for, even if it makes them an a-hole – 17 pet peeves we keep to ourselves

Icks, those deal breaking irrational dislikes we all harbor, aren’t just limited to potential romantic partners. It turns out that nobody is safe from everyone else’s hair-trigger judgements.

What complicates things further is that most people know that these judgements don’t make them look good either. It’s one of the many joyful paradoxes of being a person.
