Making judgments at the buffet.

Yes. I did it. I judged someone negatively at the buffet tonight.

But hear me out.

The dude was wearing cargo shorts, with about fifteen pockets (ok, at least six) on them, PLUS a cell phone case clipped to his belt, AND a fanny pack.

Honestly... how much does one person need to carry into a restaurant? Would perhaps a briefcase or satchel be more appropriate? A gentleman's carryall? Maybe a pack mule?

Now maybe I'm a b-word, but I think the only appropriate time to wear a fanny pack is if you're a little old lady in Atlantic City in a neon colored track suit, and need a place to keep all your tokens, or... ok, that's pretty much it. Hydration belts and running belts are perfectly acceptable if you're doing something athletic. Dining at the Super Terrific Happy China Family King Buffet isn't an athletic event.

And if it were, I'd get a gold medal.

    This is why I carry a huge purse. Multi-purpose as ****. My boyfriends a type 1 diabetic and he carries a bad everywhere too, when I first met him I thought he knew how to accessorize because of it.. Wrong, so very wrong..

    Cargo shorts are quite comfortable, and I can't exactly help how many pockets the designer puts on them. The ones I'm wearing have 6 pockets. The fanny pack needs to go, though!!

    **Oh, and no need to apologize.. I judge a lot of people. If it were a sport I'd have several gold medals.

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

    I LOVE my cargo shorts. I couldn't care less how many pockets they have.....I don't have to carry a purse and everything I need is there. (The fanny pack has to go, though.) I thought you were going to say you judged because he took seven plates of food!!!

    :laugh: That is sooo funny! I hate to say this, but he was planning his whole day for his trip to the buffet table. What if he cut his hand? Need a first aid kit. What if his moma called? Can't miss it.

    The other assumption is that he doesn't have a wife or girlfriend or even a buddy at the table, that could watch his stuff. Very sad.

    Other good use for a fanny pack: training dogs with positive reinforcement (clicker training for one). The fanny pack holds the treats so that smart dogs have a harder time figuring out where they are coming from. I know my cat will watch the treat had rather than listen if I don't hide the treats in a fanny pack.

    Perhaps it was his SO's...this did make me chuckle how judgmental is that?

    And you know what? No judgement would have been made at all if he'd been wearing a utilikilt and a sporran. :love:

    I was just saying to my husband the other night that I need a pair of cargo shorts.

    You should have asked him where he got them.

    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?

    I can't tell if you're an idiot who doesn't get the joke, and incredibly unfunny person because you took this post so seriously, or an EXCELLENT satirical troll.

    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.

    Maybe he was going to use ALL the pockets AND the fanny pack for Take-Out!

    ^^^ People are human. We all judge. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, but we do it. So I just hang out with people who are equally as judgey as I am. :D I do especially like judging people who judge when they have no room to judge, HAHA.

    There was a thread earlier on someone judging someone's weight.

    My favourite (sarcasm alert) is when the biggy wiggies fly in from some other office and have a meeting with all hand's on deck. There's a certain kind of manager that stands at the front of the meeting room with a fricking belt full of devices. An ipod, a blackberry, a mammoth watch that probably contains James Bond-esque features, and then totes a laptop and an ipad. Really? Are you 7 of 9 or something. Unplug, and get real, for a minute.

    Thanks for the opportunity to vent. I hear you!
