Are You Judged By The Area You Live In?

These things used to bother me but they don't now, there are always people who judge other people on stupid things, there is nothing we can do about it, but as long as we are reasonably polite to other people, then if they make stupid judgments about us thats their problem not ours. On your cat, I have a slightly unconventional suggestion for dealing with this, it doesn't get into the books on what to do, but that is probably because its almost free and therefore no money can be made from it. However after years of trying to get rid of head lice from children's hair we devised a method, that other people suggest too, of just wetting the head, or washing the hair, and coming it out with a nit comb, as the head lice stick to the comb more if the hair is wet. It is more effective with oil, but I wouldn't suggest that, because your cats skin is probably very sensitive. But we did, at one point remove fleas from our cat just by using water and a nit comb, and because of the sores on her skin, though it takes a bit of time and patience, it might be best, as there are no nasty chemicals involved to irritate the skin. then if you can get rid of the fleas using the flea spray from her bedding and stuff it could work.

Oh yes Janey - I have had that most of my live. I grew up on a very rough council estate. The local were actually very nice and friendly. It wasn't till I got to high school that I realised people would judge me on where I lived. Stuck up b@stards from Barratt estates looking down their noses at us. The people I have met in life that I have remained friends with or have had the most in common with are the people that have grown up with little - I have found them to be grateful for what they do have.

I think that this has always been the case. There has always been a class divide in many countries regretfully even out here where I live and yes, people do judge by clothes too. My husband was slightly eccentric and we had a banana farm. he would wear two odd shoes and people would ask why. He would carefully explain that one pair of boots came from Cuba and the right one wore out but the left was still good so he kept it. The second pair of boots came form the USA and the left one wore out but the right was still good so he kept it and they were a pair. Of course, he was talking politically as well as the reality of it. s there he was, with two odd shoes and then he would jump into the mercedes benz and drive off - still wearing his khaki field clothes Of course being a farmer life was either feast or famine and in my case more famine than feast

You are observant.There are indeed many people who are bloody snobs in real life.They just judge people by their exterior.I guess the nurse in the vets would say they took credit ,if you said you lived in where the wealthy lived.

Your experience rather same with mine I am a simple person, I don't like dress up myself except for party or for formality reason. I love to go to mall for one stop shopping. Sometimes when all my friends are busy and I don't have someone to accompany me I would just go by myslef. I will go out with my pony tail hair, my feet with flip-flops, wearing casual tshirt and jeans, bring my small and simple sling bag, no make up except lipbalm for my lips. I will in and out many stores at the mall, what funny is the shop staff never pay attention to me, they will busy other customer who come in their store with their nice dress or big looks luxurious bag. I don't mind, I don't like either if the shop staff follow me all around (sometimes they follow me may be they think I will steal something from their store). When I try on some clothes in fitting room and I don't feel comfort with the clothes they will lead me to the other part of the store where they have a sale. I love sale, but I will look at the quality and if it fits me or not. They will be nicer when I decided to take one or more clothes, and will take me to the cashier to pay, and once again they will be more more nicer if they see that I pay with credit or debit card It's not because I want to show them that I have credit/debit card, but because I am lazy to bring big cash with me. I don't even use my walllet. Sometimes people really judge you from what they see from outside

Maybe its not in exactly the same way but I'll give you an example based on my own experience. I live in Poland now but I came from England where I was born and brought up. Because we moved in to a smaller town in Poland and people there weren't that wealthy everyone assumed that we had money and were these rich people because we came from England, more precisely London. I'd rather people got to know me first than assume things like that first.

Sadly people are quick to judge, they look at you and judge you on the way you look, the way you dress, the way you speak etc... I know there are some places where taxi drivers won't even pick up from, that's how bad some areas are, and of course car insurance varies just upon your postal code. I live in a nice area, I have to admit, but the other side of the coin is that if you live in a respected posh area you also pay higher council tax. And because you live in such an area people think you have more money and they will put their prices up because they know you can afford them.

be careful of some of those over the counter flea sprays..they can be deadly. eh..i think all vets are doing that now,not just an area. i asked my vet of over twenty years to let me slide a couple of days once,and they said no.i was pretty cheesed because in all that time i never stiffed them on a bill. i can understand why they've stopped it with some people,but an old customer?yeesh.

Hmm.... I live in the self and you have often says how posh we all are down here! However I do think that if you make an effort with your appearance that people notice it and treat you accordingly.

Of course, people judge others by the area in which they live. There are a few areas around here, including the one in which I currently live, that one doesn't really admit to calling home. They aren't horrible, but they are also not the nicest areas. Where I want to live, the assumption by some is that the people are all wealthy. That's not true, but it is a good zip code to have.

In the good old days it mattered as one only mixed and mingled with those around. One does not have to do that anymore. The whole world is at our disposal. As long as we do not compromise on our lifestyle what has an address got to do with our status in life. I opted out of living in the Metro and chose a semi rural town where I get what I want and that is clean, pure air to breathe. Who wants to live around those who own half a dozen vehicles but pollute the air!

How can people be so judgmental, right? Have you seen the movie "Pretty Woman"? The store staff did not entertain Julia Roberts when she came inside the store dressed like a wh***. But when she came back all glammed up, they were just all over her! When people look at me in a different way or treat me unkindly, the better me would just shut up. But if it happened on a bad day, that person would surely here from me!

I have absolutely been judged by the area I live in. I have a Childcare Business and I have had parents that have said they were coming and then turned around near my house because there are trailers down the road from me. They judge me by that which is really unfair. I keep my house nice and fun for the kids as well as safe of course. If they came in and met me they would feel differently. People judge way too quickly but its their loss, not mine. Plenty of people use my services and love the care I provide!

I think sometimes we are. But many arent at fault totally for where they live. I live here in Mexico city, because my mom left me this big 5 bedroom home. mexico isnt a good place to rent out or sell a home. So im stuck living here. But... it could be worse I guess.

I can't say I've been judged personally, but I've seen where people are treated differently(more special) just because of where they live. I've worked with people who gained even more respect just because they live in exclusive areas or subdivisions. Coming from next-to-nothing, I could see why people like me strive to live in those kinds of places.

Hi Janey. We live in a very good section of town now. We couldn't afford it if we did not split the rent. I pay $200 of the rent and SIL pays $550. Anyway, when people ask where I live they say something like you're uptown now. Before we lived in a quiet section but it was a little junky. Before that we lived in a fire trap. People that know us make mention that we are in the richer section of town. His mom bought our house. She could charge us $1100 a month but she just charges us $750. It pays the insurance and the mortgage and a little put away for fixing when it needs it. She put a lot of cash down before mortgaging the rest. We couldn't get this house on our own, but we will be buying it from her. The above said, I think I kind of judged myself when I lived in the poorer section. When I owned my own home it was hard to start renting again after the divorce. I get more smiles and conversation too when I am dressed well and my hair is neat. I'm invisible if I am dressed like a bum.

I'm happy with place where i live in.
