I'm guilty of passing judgement on someone today.
I went to the grocery store after the gym. It was probably around 5:30 or 6pm. I got a kick-ass parking spot, too. Anyway, on my way in, this car pulls up (tan Dodge Intrepid) into the fire lane (clearly marked) and stops. The passenger (an able-bodied youth) gets out and goes into the store. The driver puts the car in park, turns the engine off and puts the hazzard lights on. Other cars are having trouble going around him, etc

Time passes, and 15 minutes later, I walk out with my few things. Same car is still there in the fire lane, hazzard lights on, driver sitting there.

As I walked past the car to get to mine, I said (out loud, and in reference to the person in the car), "what a lazy fucking asshole you are."

I'm feeling a little guilty of passing judgement so quickly. For all I know, he's little more than a dumb sonofabitch, and not a lazy fucking asshole.

Guess I'll get over it.

1. Don't worry about it - I pass judgement on people every day
But then I can call myself a grizzled old ****, so I'm entitled.

You were probably right, though.

2. I work in retail - at least for another 6 months
and I pass judgment on nearly every single person that walks into my store (it's one of the reasons I'm getting out). The situation you describe, however, is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I say bravo to you. :thumbsup:
