How much time is wasted stopping at the convenience store every morning? There must be a better use of your time... | |||

This is why I do most of my shopping on Amazon. Just can't stand them and don't have the patience to stay silent about their absurd behavior. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Invariably with the lottery ticket clowns, I have to suppress yelling "Why don't you move to f..kin Vegas?" | |||

TK13 - That Pinette clip was really enjoyed. I used to watch him often on the Comedy Channel. Yet another great comic gone! Thanks! | |||

If you call them on their poor behavior, even doing it nicely, they flip out and go into full anger mode. It's like when I'm in the car, someone is drifting lanes because phone/inattentive/eating, whatever. I honk, as I don't want to get hit. Then they start flipping you off and coming apart at the seams. A week ago, on a service road, 3 lanes. Some lady waits until the last minute to get on the highway. She is in the right hand lane, jams on the brakes, crosses 3 lanes of 50 mph traffic all at once and nearly wrecked into a wall making the highway onramp. She goes right across the nose of my car and almost hit me. AS she is coming and turning into me I honk to wake her up and not get hit. She literally nearly caused a 4-5 vehicle wreck. As they get onto the highway the POC female in the passenger seat is flipping me off and making the blowjob sign with her hand and mouth. I rolled down the window, smiled at her then made an air rack of the slide with my hand and air fired a shot. No firearm, just air gestures. These people are literally out of their minds. The drive as poorly as they act in public. They just don't give a fuck about anyone. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

my favorite is still the post office. the line can be out the door and some numbskull will be standing there trying to figure what stamp they want to buy. And to make it worse, the postal worker is chatting with them as if it's a major decision and they have all day  | |||

People that write checks that don’t even think of digging out their checkbook until the cashier gives them the total. Luckily check writing seems to be going away. | |||

Worst driving I have ever seen. Got to disable phones when people are driving. Then again I saw some fucking twit reading a magazine while driving the other day. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

I'm definitely in the "no patience" "hate lines" crowd. I get frustrated and angry in record time. Fucking California, I can't say enough bad things. Too many selfish entitled assholes clogging up every inch of this place. Dammit | |||

If I were President & Dictator for Life, I'd have EVERY customer facing operation have a minimum of 3 lines. Line #1 My stuff is organized, and have all the information to make the transaction go as quickly as possible. Check is filled out, paperwork you need is ready etc., Line #2 My stuff is mostly organized. I mostly know what needs to happen. Line #3 I'm lost like last years Easter Egg. I'm eat up like a soup sammich, and need to be hit with multiple clue bats. You will try everyone's patience, and cause the service people to drink to excess that night. If you go into line #1 or #2 and should be in line #3, you get sent to the back of Line #3 and have to wait two extra penalty people ahead of you. At least then, the people who have their act together can get in and out faster, and not have to stand in line while the guy paying with unrolled pennies is counting out his $678.92 payment. Thank you for letting me rant! Thank you. | |||

I hope that wasn't me. Early on in the Scamdemic, I did this at Lowes. I honestly didn't see the social distancing dots on the floor. (It was masking tape back then.) I apologized profusely (and nicely) and went to the back of the line. Learned my lesson. The gas station thing really peeves me. Get done pumping, then go in and shop without moving the car. Seriously? I should carry one of those valve insert removal tools with me. Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. - Dave Barry "Never go through life saying 'I should have'..." - quote from the 9/11 Boatlift Story (thanks, sdy for posting it) | |||

Nope, not you, I’d never call out a fellow SF member like that, in public. Besides it was at True Value Hardware. | |||

The Army started it for me with lines for everything. Back in the day when payday came around I was not in a real hurry to get to the pay master because the line was alphatized by rank. being a lowly private and last name was at the end of the alphabet I knew that it was going to be a long morning. Also with being stationed in South Korea(1969-1970) it was illegal (punishable under the UCMJ) to have US (greenbacks) in your possesion. I kept a $5 bill stashed in my wallet. We were paid with script known as MPC (military payment currency) (looked like monopaly money) and ever so often the script was changed to stop counterfiting on the Korean market. What they did was to put everything on lockdown and nothing moved in or out of the compounds/bases till payday completed everywhere. If you were off base when lockdown started you were screwed because entry/exit would denied and if you had money stashed off base you were not allowed off base to go get it. When these events you could see Korean civilians come to the fence with large amounts of the older MPC and try to get someone to exchange it for the new MPC. Location was Camp Sabre/Munsan-ni (105mm towed howitzer).This message has been edited. Last edited by: drill sgt, | |||

I was there, Camp Red Cloud, 68-70 and have the same memories about the MPC's. | |||

You would not do well in Wickenburg.  The behavior you describe is standard everywhere here, the MVD, the hardware store, the grocery, etc., anywhere there is a wait in line.When in doubt, mumble | |||

And this is why I like shopping where the college students and beach visitors shop - makes it much more enjoyable to pass the time watch those around me.  Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In the old days at the grocery store, the clerk scans the food while the woman is talking and yakkin' away to the clerck trying to work. When the groceries are bagged, the total amount is brought up, she looks into her purse, fumbles around a bit, pulls out her checkbook, looks for a pen, and THEN starts to write out a check. Thankfully I don't see this anymore. How about standing in a lengthy line for a sandwich at a deli, the two women in front of you are yakkin' and yakkin' all the way up to the register, then after the "what can I get you?" intro, they look up at the wall menu- "ummm, let's see...what should I get...wow, so many choices...Diane, what are you gonna get?...really? is it good?..."
