A certain mindset is bothered by observing others apparently wasting effort they don't need to. It has nothing to do with any benefit or loss for the observer. Very roughly, one can think of it as a sort of altruism focused on efficiency.

This mindset may be appeased by demonstrating why you don't believe your actions are actually a waste of effort.



I'd encourage people with this mindset to reflect on how unqualified they are to judge the holistic merits of how other people spend their time.
