Hm, psychologist psychoanalyse thyself?
Passive aggressive insults aside, there's two sides to what you're calling "jumping" to a conclusion.
Short of being omniscient, all conclusions are based on incomplete information. We all use other information in our brain to try and fill in the gaps, and we all have a strength of confidence in our conclusion roughly based on the direct and indirect information available.
Tons of things happen to everyone every day where we assume what people's thoughts and motivations are, that's the only possible way to get through the day. That's one side.
The difference between that and someone with an actual flaw in their psyche is reasonable people will change their view when new information demonstrates their previous conclusions to be inaccurate, or will scale their conclusions in proportion to the confidence in the conclusion. That's the other side.
I wondered about what would motivate someone to park right next to someone else in the picture I posted and haven't read a single speculation, let alone one that is as plausible as the simplest explanation; that there's jerks out there that derive enjoyment from antagonizing others (which you readily agreed there are). I don't see how that's such a leap when even reading this thread shows the exact same kind of behaviour.
