I'm pretty sure this is one of a human being mental survival techniques and plays a large role on determining worthiness of trust and compatibility as far as cooperation with any particular person. I believe we use the same logic in different ways to determine who would be a good mate. People can't help but judge. We judge how far that green light is as it's turning red, we judge if we have enough time to finish our work before the day is out, we judge if a wild animal is a threat, and we judge people to see if they'd be a good fit in our lives or what the likelihood of an interaction going bad is based on peoples appearances, behavior, body language, choice of words, etc... That said I do my best to remind myself that like everything else there are times it's appropriate and times it doesn't make sense and I'm being a bad person.
