Bustin' out them shorts!

So I've been pretty bad as of late with the blog. I'll try and get better! Anyway, I have a bunch of short judgements that I've been meaning to post, so I'm going to do some now and save others for the normal Friday Shorts segment.

I'm judging you: Guy in lunch line
So, we all understand that you were talking to the woman behind you, and then got carried away in conversation with the woman in front of you while the woman behind you decided to leave the line in search of better foods. What we don't understand is why, upon turning around, making a statement to my coworker as if she were the original woman, and realizing that she wasn't who you thought she was, did you decide to continue attempting to engage my coworker in something barely passable as banter? You win the "awkward award," sir, so congrats!

I'm judging you: Guy driving with the top down
I'm driving to work at 7:15 in the morning. My car is saying it's a few degrees below 50 outside. Why, then, do I see you driving around with your convertible's top down? You look like you're in your mid-40's, you should know better. And if this is your "mid-crisis" car, you really need to do better. It looked more like what Oldsmobile would make if they were still around and in the convertible business.

I'm judging you: Breast Cancer Awareness Facebook campaign
Last year, whoever came up with the meme had it right... the whole point was to spread breast cancer awareness, and the closest thing to one's boobs is a bra, so might as well have women list off the color of their bras. It's ambiguous enough that every man will be sure to comment and news carriers will pick up the story. This year, though, I felt let down. I'll give you props for the ambiguity and therefore the forced double entendres that happened. But, purses? Really? That'd be like men updating their statuses to describe where they like to keep their toolboxes in order to promote prostate cancer awareness (though my example is better because even the toolbox is a double entendre).
