It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

so every time I read the title I see "Who do you love" by The Doors.
And old people can get away with all sorts of stuff. We can? Why didn't I get the darned memo?!?

Milee, that's not an old woman thing, that's an "Jewish thing" Huh. Didn't know that. So you're saying that instead of waiting until I'm 80, if I just tell everybody I'm Jewish, I can get away with saying outrageous things right now? Sign me up, please. On a topic of baby and family ? Oh yeah, you'd be covered

Just - So what judgement to you pronounce on someone getting a medium well steak? I usually say blasphemy and tell them they might as well order charcoal and mention I know who I'm not wasting steak on the next time I'm grilling out. The level depends on the cut of steak their ruining. If it was filet mignon I might skip all that and cry....or go on about the cow didn't die so you could eat an expensive hockey puck. All the above applies to lamb too. Reminds me of a comment I overheard from a guy at a restaurant one time when he was ordering a rare steak: "I like mine so that a good vet can bring it back to life!"

Way better than then the "still mooing" remarks my dad likes.

My DH says that I stare, so that can't be good. Dark, large sized sunglasses solve that problem! I don't even take my off when I'm grocery shopping. Not making eye contact means less crazies will try to interact (at least that's what I tell myself). Still doesn't always work...

And, on topic, I judge. I try not to and I definitely don't treat people differently whom I've maybe judged in my mind. I try to turn it around and see what they might judge ME for.
However, lack of or no table manners is something I cannot overlook and I judge people like that. It's just so inconsiderate to everyone else around you.

This is an interesting question, and I can't figure out the answer. Some days I am either very tolerant or I just don't have any interest whatsoever in the rest of humankind and am all "eh, to each his own, whatever, I don't care". And other days you should look out because I am judging the fuck out of EVERYONE! People who don't work out (lazy slobs) People who work out too much (OCD with no life) People who look perfectly put-together (high-maintenance) People who put no effort into their appearance at all (dirty hippies with no self-esteem) Coworkers putting in 12 hour days (workaholics) Coworkers "working from home" again (slackers) People with messy houses (again, lazy slobs) People with perfect houses (freaks) People who don't drink at all (f'ing insane weirdos) People who drink too much (alcoholics) I could go on, but you get the picture. I'm like Goldilocks with a narrow definition of what's jusssstt right some days. But even then those people probably flit in and out of my brain in a minute or two without another thought. The only people I really judge are friends and family, because they are the only ones I actually care about. Oh! Except people who are cruel to animals or are slow drivers. I judge them all as expendable and they should be gotten rid of. Argh!!!!!! Pet peeve. I work from home and I am NOT a slacker!!!!!!!!! Grrrrrr......

Hmmm, my mil is like this, but she is just cranky. My understanding is she's always be that way regardless of age. She's what she refers to as a recovering catholic. Maybe there's a Jewish line in there somewhere.

Some lady in the grocery store blocked the whole isle and then yelled that I was a dumbass after I went around. Her kid was in the cart. I judged her to be a fat piece of white trash and a great example for her child. I wanted soooo badly to ram her with my cart. Instead I kept going and didn't acknowledge her existence. Dumb B##$$! My husband and I like to people watch when we go places and discuss any oddities. So I suppose we are judging them. You don't have to get violent...just say something like, "I'm sorry, I would have moved you out of the way, but I don't know how I would fit a tugboat in here!"

I try not to judge (ok, not very hard but I still try) but ALL the in laws get a good deal of judgement from me. I've told a few stories here, if you remember them you know they deserve it

How about "to make a long story short" and the story ends up being waaaaay too long... By the time someone gets to the point when they say that, I am usually thinking "too late!" Oooh, how about this conversational gambit: "I don't mean to be rude, BUT..." LOL. Who has ever followed those words with something that wasn't completely rude??

It depends on what you mean by judging. You judge how fast a car is coming in order to safely cross the street. Every one must make judgments to survive.
