I dont think its anything to do with being an aspie or not.
Within the NT's of the world, there are people who are kind an non judgemental, who get to know people before they judge, and there are people who are rude and malicious.
I understand from what I've read that aspies take quite a 'black and white' logical view of the world?
well amongst NT's it is a confusing meddle of personality types with an enourmous variation on what people are like. Some are nightmares. Some are lovely. Its all down to who you meet.
Now that woman on the elevator, she sounds to me like nothing but an ignorant, self riteous cow. Most of us, do make comments about people who we'll probably never see again. Its what people do, as the animal nature of the Human animal makes us naturally cautious and judgemental of people.......survival mechanism I guess...............and most of us expect people to comment about ourselves.
But if we do comment on someone, its quietly, out of earshot so there is no chance of them knowing and being hurt by it...............Now she made that comment out loud to you, a total stranger. She didn't care one joy whether you were offended by the comments she made, or if u agreed with her. She just thought it was funny and to hell with anyone esles opinions!
Basically a rude, ignorant cow who needs a slap.
