Anecdotal, but every Judge I've met (outside of their working environment) was a pretty self-important asshole, and I've met a number...

Not always the case I'm sure but it has always made me rethink the idea of a Judge as an 'impartial' adjucator

wow lol. When I went to court years ago to defend a traffic ticket, I took the elevator up to the 3rd floor. At the second floor, the doors opened to reveal a group of people waiting to hop in.

The judge in the elevator with me quickly reached over me and pressed the "Door Close" button. This closed the doors, preventing the waiting people from getting on and the car continued to the next floor where he and I got off.

I'm not terribly surprised, given that judges are pretty used to being referred to (ridiculously enough) as "Your Honor", are they not? Or is that TV shit?
