Making judgments at the buffet.

I havent worn cargo....well...anything since jr high. my mom used to wear a fanny pack at theme parks.....and i died a little inside

Everyone judges. If you say you never do and think I'm a horrible person for it... well, you just did.

And, yeah, I don't know Mr. Fanny Pack's story. I was just out having dinner with my husband, who's off work with herniated discs in his neck from a work related injury, trying to take our minds off the next round of obstacles and hurdles coming our way with trying to fight worker's comp insurance and contacting lawyers and all the upcoming doctor's appointments including the independent medical evaluation from the insurance company... while in the back of my mind remembering this time 4 years ago when my mother was in the hospital with kidney failure, respiratory failure, heart failure, MRSA and sepsis... and how she miraculously pulled through all that, but still succumbed three months later to other complications... and somehow I got a little chuckle out of a guy with a zillion pockets in his shorts who was wearing multiple other methods of carrying paraphernalia.

You're right. We shouldn't judge someone if we don't know the whole story. But we still do.

LMFAO I think I have bumped into this same guy many times. Some people call it judgmental..I call it observant. I ditto.. WELL PLAYED!

You're right. We shouldn't judge someone if we don't know the whole story. But we still do.

We can be judgmental people together, at least we're honest about it!

I think some people don't realize we're had wired to judge everything, not just people. We are very instinctual creatures and the ability to judge things and assess situations quickly and accurately are very important, no matter what you do. There is a reason every dating expert tells you that you have FIVE seconds to make an impression. That's it. People judge you whether they realize it or not in 5 seconds. In fact, many people who go to bars looking to meet people unconsciously sit at least one person in their group with a visual of the door to assess every person who comes in. In 5 seconds. I love hanging out with judgmental people at a bar, so much fun.

I think I am the only person in the world who would use a "fanny pack" if:

1. it weren't called a "fanny pack"
2. It weren't so notoriously uncool. lol...


The concept is actually really nice. LIke a super small book bag or whatever to keep your cash/credit cards/lipstick in. And you don't have to bother carrying it really. Yes I know, I just lost my cool card. Oh yeah I guess I never really had one. :laugh:

The one I wear for running (long runs only) is the most hideous thing on the planet.



It looks like a cross between a diaper and a jock strap. But if it's better than trying to carry a drink with me in my hand, because last time I did that, my arms were so sore when I got home, I had a hard time soaping up my arm pits in the shower after.

Practical? Yes. Ridiculous looking? Yes. I would not blame anyone for laughing at me in it. I'd rather them laugh at my giant water bottle jock strap diaper thing than laugh at me for having smelly armpits because I couldn't clean myself properly.

I do love my SPIbelt, though. Big enough for my phone and spare key. Slim enough that it's unobtrusive and if I wear my shirt over it, no one would know it's there.

maybe the guy walked to the buffet from his house 12 miles away and needed to carry some stuff with him and he didnt want to carry a purse.

LorinaLynn

I'm sticking with, "He's really Inspector Gadget."

NeonRainbow83

The word fanny pack cracks me up... Seriously. We call them 'bum bags' here in the UK a fanny is a whoooooole other subject!!

AngryDiet

Nice parody.

ilovemybuggy

I saw this and was like NO WAY- REALLLLLY....Then I opened it up. I can dig it.

ejohndrow

I'm curious as to the amount of cargo in his 6 pockets that made it so he had to carry a fanpack and use a cellphone holder in addition to the pockets he had.

bekinator

i'll bet he has a billion pockets so that he won't get judged for carrying a man-purse

lynn don't feel bad for getting that well-deserved chuckle from fanny-pacman, we have to take the world with a light heart; life is too short, as u know all too well. though we get the chuckle from him, we would all still hug fanny-pacman & thank him for giving us the take-out idea to outsmart chinese buffets (without really using the idea of course).

corn63

I love the "I can't believe you judged that person!! How dare you!"... hello? You're judging on my judgement. Don't be getting your judge on about my judging.


Holla.

Most men keep women around who have purses so they can avoid such a thing. The guy you saw hasn't learned that yet.

rml_16

Maybe he has medicine in his fanny pack? Insulin? Epi Pen? I didn't even know Fanny packs still existed.

Take a trip to Disneyworld sometime and you will find out how wrong that assumption is.

odusgolp

maybe that fanny pack is a medical machine that he HAS to be hooked up to. & maybe that cell phone clipped to his belt is the phone the hospital makes you carry so they can page you when your long awaited organ donation finally comes in.
my friend and neighbor has to wear a fanny pack because of the chemo treatments he is going thru. you would never know he had cancer by looking at him.
make no judgements of someone if you know nothing about them. make no judgements till you've walked a mile in their shoes.
if you were waiting for an organ transplant & had to wear a fanny pack & a hospital cell & all you wanted to do was eat a meal with your family, because who knows how many you may have left with them, would you be that vain & worry if it matches your cargo shorts?
are you that perfect that you can judge someone by their clothes? should we judge you because you were at a buffet?

But.... It's a fanny pack...

LMBO! Isn't that supposed to go on your back? you look ridiculous in the sexiest of possible ways *lick lick*

christimw

Meh. I don't care if anyone wants to judge me. I've been judged before. I'll be judged again. I know it happens.

I mean... I'm dressed and posed like Super Monkey Girl in my profile pic. No one is going to judge me or mock me more than I do myself.

AMEN! i couldn't tell you how many times some has tried to insult me by calling me white trash. pfft...like i didn't know that already? like i don't proudly display that ever day?!

i judge people. everyone does. if you say you don't, sorry, but i'm judging you as a LIAR.

Fanny pack = concealed weapon. maybe....

agriffiths73

See in the UK, a fanny is, well, basically the other hole, at the front. Anyway, a guy walking around with all that crap, at a buffet....did he have noisy, irritating kids and a slightly nervous looking wife?

LorinaLynn

Probably, but I can't reach it back there when I need a drink, unless I'm swiveling it back and forth around my waist, then the ear bud cords will get tangled...

So I'd rather be a dork.
