I don’t think it’s very fair for people to judge me for being judgmental.
So I sneer openly at good looking people at my gym and secretly think they’re dumb and shallow. So what? What am I supposed to do, be accepting of everyone? Give everyone the benefit of the doubt?
Take today for instance: I was secretly watching the Latin-Cardio-Dance-Grooves-Bullshit-Class-Where-You-Wiggle-Your-Hips-Around-A-Lot-but-Don’t-Sweat from the stationary bike. Sure, it was sort of pervy for me to be watching, but I was only doing it to be critical. And some jealousy.
Anyway, I see this sexy young girl in tight pants squirming all around the dance floor. I turn to my friend and say something like “that ho is totally a stripper in the evenings.”
My friend tries to convince me that the girl was really young- like in high school- and that I was being a crabby asshole. “No way” I said “I can see a Professional when I see one.” Then I sat back and congratulated myself for being so perceptive. Until that very girl came out of the studio with another woman and said “Hurry up mom, I’ll be late for school.”
Ooopsy.
Still, a lot of people rely on me to be snarky and catty. I can’t let them down just because I miss the mark occasionally.
Do you want the baby thrown away with the bathwater? That’s a perfectly good baby.
