I think that’s OK. Something in a more primitive part of your brain was alarmed (even if you couldn’t say why exactly) and it set off your defense mechanisms. I don’t think it was “judgement” so much as an instinctive reaction to perceived danger. Those senses can keep you alive. They can also leave you feeling silly.

Note: This post comes only about an hour after I semi-chastised Beck for “judging” all delivery people based on YouTubes of some fetchboyz\* being assholes. She wasn’t really being _that_ judgmental in [that thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-likely-is-uber-to-ban-me-if-i-do-a-credit-card-charge-back-for-food-that-was-never-delivered/1027885), but I push back against some generalizations when I come across them.

“Beck, you judged.”  
“Beck you didn’t judge.”

Rather inconsistant!

\*Band name? Maybe.
