Suddenly a younger man in his mid 20's arrive with a plate overflowing with English Breakfast. He starts eating like this is the last food on earth. He collects the prints from the printer and wow that must have been 100+ pages.

Who am I to judge? 
I'm happy to admitt I have a bad habit of sometimes judging or assuming things about people I don't know much about. I'm sure this is nothing unusual.
I see two strangers who are identical except one is behaving well and is friendly. The other is not and appears to be a David van Day/Michael Winner type.
Which one would you rather sit next to on the plane? Yep... do not judge.

No judgement, but I do find it ironic that printingandbreakfast states that it's good his premium ticket allows him to save money on printing. So it's okay to spend loads on a J class ticket but you're skimping on printing?
Of course the ticket could have been a redemption ticket.

I suspect that I am the cause of this as it was mentioned in another thread and I remembered the thread but not all the melodrama.
However I, too, try not to judge others but I certainly can judge behaviour and whether it is polite or otherwise. I remember being on a train whilst some woman bellowed instructions to people who were clearly her subordinates. Seriously this woman had the edge on me for treacly insincerity (you try reading some of the drivel I am supposed to announce over the PA (the bit about Well Being Excercises being a case in point)) and her voice sounded like a collection of saucepans falling down Mont Blanc. her name was Henrietta. The train in general and the carriage in particular were left in little doubt of her name or her importance. This was in First Class I might add.
Finally a man who could stand it no more interrupted this stream of condescension and ill concealed demands to apologise for clearly intruding in her office!. The silence was deafening - then applause erupted (this was Essex after all). I think that she had got the point.
Now, if I were to be judgemental, I would say that she was an highly opinioned, asserted and aggressive young woman. However, she may be charming when not being Queen Bee! She may be brilliant at what she does.
She may one day be found by the side of the railway line. Others may not be as tolerant as us

If it was the last food on earth then I would be nibbling at it and packing the rest up to preserve it as long as possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if printer ink turned out to be more expensive than BA's best champagne.
