After a night out, there is not doubt that if you do not reenter the public eye in something more presentable than sweatpants and larger than small hoop earrings, you are going to be accused of committing the ever-embarrassing walk of shame. My question on this dreary Sunday morning when I can't think of worse weather to give my Giants a chance at beating the Eagles this evening is this: Why are we always so quick to pass judgment?
I walked into the pharmacy this morning...in my home town...to see if my prescription had been filled. I was wearing the clothes I slept in, my Middletown North field hockey fleece that says 'Beehas' on it and medium sized hoop earrings because I didn't want them wrestling around in my purse. The pharmacist girl happens to be someone who I went to high school with - graduated one year ahead of me. We both know that we know each other but we are nothing more than polite to each other - which is fine - but I left the pharmacy wondering what on earth she could have thought I had done the night before that left me in this condition.
In actuality, I was at my company's holiday party and happened to be the designated driver - thank goodness- and limited myself to 2 glasses of wine over the 5 hours we were there. Totally fine. Here's what I'm assuming she thought: This girl is a hot mess and probably slept with some random guy she met out in Red Bank the night before and is going to be experiencing a wicked hangover for the majority of the day. Which could not be further from the truth.
So two questions for my hopefully loyal readers:
1. Why is it that we all tend to pass negative judgment on people when they are not looking their best?
2. What would you have thought I did the night before if you saw me in that condition?
I look forward to these responses.
And let's all do me a favor and root for the Giants today. LET'S GO BIG BLUE!!

Hmmmmm....
ReplyDeleteIn response, I will pose a question to you. Why are you so quick to think that people are passing judgement? Is it because you do the same? Easy girl... don't be so... Judgemental?
Also, if I saw you come into the pharmacy to pick up medicine in what appears to be your pajamas... I would think you are getting over the final stages of whatever illness required you to attain said medicine, and I would wish you a speedy recovery and think nothing more of it. I might think the hoops are a nice touch though.....
And as I get over the final stages of my own illness, I prepare to brave those same elements as our beloved Giants to stand beside them at my first NFL game...and watch them kick the Eagles' ass!!!!!
GO BIG BLUE!!!
