Props to you. I've never done it either. But for all I know that guy just lost his job 5 minutes ago and that was his release. Like I said, it doesn't make it excusable, but unless I know the guy is consistently a dick, I wouldn't judge the person in his entirety. Judge the act, sure. But saying he should be removed from the earth for THAT one act is just ridiculous.

You're judging those two people over a 10 second act you saw from afar. You have no idea who either of these people are. For all we know, that guy felt so bad he tried to drive back, apologize and offer her a ride home and she told him to fuck off. Who's to say he doesn't regularly donate his money and time to charity and the old woman regularly screams at all the little kids playing near her house to "Get the fuck out of here you little pricks." Maybe their entire personality dictates that SHE'S the one who you should use the vapour ray on.

Judging someone on their entire personality is one thing. Judging them on a 2 second "Slip of the tongue" is another imho.
