So I'm sitting in the Social Security building patiently awaiting my number to be called amongst tens of other folks doing the same.  In walks this man that instantly caught my attention.

Let me paint the picture

• Large - 6'0", 300 lbs - obese
• White
• XXL shirt, sleeves ripped out revealing his moobs, gut and head to toe tattoos
• Filthy - looks as if he was just frying chicken, shirt spotted
• Long hair, in dreadlocks - also looks as if he was just frying chicken

I chanted under my breath, "Don't sit next to me, don't sit next to me, don't sit...".  Which of course he did.  I turned my back towards him so I wouldn't find out first hand if he smelled how I imagined.

As he sat there I heard him voice that the guard at the front was rude and unhelpful, while he noted the guard not treating others in the same manner.  This was true as the guard offered us assistance the moment we walked in.

I found myself thinking, "Well duh, have you looked at yourself in the mirror?"

In an utopian society we would be nonjudgmental - this society does not exist.

The truth is you are judged by how you look.  Right, wrong or indifferent, it happens - OFTEN.

You can get upset, rail about how we shouldn't do this, state your opinion loudly, but in the end it's human nature and this is just how it is.
