Over Active Judge

I’ve been actively overhearing strangers’ conversations recently and therefore judging strangers more. I’ve heard a lot more people make big absolute, definite statements more often then not, like:

“I will never like stand-up comedy.”
“I hate all eggs.”
“My friend, Joe, is the most brilliant person I’ve ever met.”
“My brother has the biggest heart of gold I’ve ever seen.”

I listen to these people and I think:

Really?

If I met Joe would I think he’s the most brilliant person I’ve ever met or will I think he’s a total douche bag?
Do you really hate all stand-up comedy or is it just all comedy in general and all good happy things?
Or maybe it’s the whole brick wall and standing microphone that irks you.

Do tell.

Just to put me and my rude eavesdropping at ease, the next time you make an overwhelming statement like that- please have something to back it up. Like, “I hate all eggs cause one time I had the stomach flue and the last thing I had to eat was eggs.”

See that makes sense. It’s logical and I won’t judge you for hating eggs for no reason.

Am I alone with this pet peeve or do people agree? No, nothing? Just me. Okay then.

Happy commuter judging!
