I (in the loosest sense of the word) went to a centre of human activity today and observed an androgynous humanoid with no distinguishing features engaging in behaviour which I did not judge to be good, bad or middling. Having not judged the humanoid, I then proceeded to neither intervene nor refuse to engage with the aforementioned behaviour and proceeded on my way. On reflection, I realise that the humanoid was probably having a nondescript day as a result of their entirely unremarkable life experiences.

AIBU?

I'm afraid I cannot agree or disagree with your opinion that I am entitled. As I do not notice the behaviour of other humanoids I am unable to rate my behaviour in comparison to theirs.

De-furring a feline is in the same league as depriving the said feline of the opportunity to enjoy having worms. Despicable.

I did not notice whether the humanoid's theoretical offspring were partaking of nourishing substances but I was eating a healthy junk snack.

I have reported your thread to MNHQ as you used too many inoffensive words.

But jazz! You fail to grasp the essential principle of AIBU that people only ever come onto AIBU to criticise the OP for being judgemental and to magnify their ordinary preoccupations, opinions and minor context-based prejudices into the status of vile hate crimes. One must not judge. Ever. Because judging is not what AIBU is for.

Indeed.

jazzchickens · 18/05/2012 21:00

Gotcha.

Actually, I think "no distinguishing features" is quite judgemental.

You are expressing the view that the humanoid had no features worth mentioning - which is a put down Grin

:p

My brain hurts from thinking up so much nonsense.

The blaring hypocrisy of posters who come on AIBU of their own free will and choice and then accuse the OP of being judgemental is quite mind-bending though.

blaring? glaring

Told you my brain hurt...

Well, I think referring to your brain hurting is discriminating against people with special needs, AKMD. And those of us who get migraines. And me when I hit myself in the face with a pencil just now.

^ This is better than [ sad ]. It is less weighed down with the conventionalized connotations of passive-aggression.

This is actually my favourite OP of all time. Well done and thanks. Thanks Wine

Why do you even care what other humanoids get up to? Why aren't you entirely focused on your own life and dependent humanoids with whom you co-habit?

YABU

Today whilst I was present in a paid capacity at an educational establishment a young person told me to copulate away.

I required elucidation as to the actual phrasing and it was repeated.

I surmised that the young person was having a bad day so I arranged for the young person to be taken to a quiet place in order to reflect on their actions.

At no point did I judge and the Pope plays for Arsenal.

Why do you describe the humanoid as androgynous? Sounds very judgy to me, therefore YABVVVU.
