Am I the only one who gets tired of waiting?
No, I hate waiting. I run up escalators or stairs to avoid waiting. When I walk somewhere in NYC, I walk fast -- so fast that my wife, walking alongside me, will 'downshift' me. Actual driving in NYC doesn't help either. My favorite phrase is: "MOVE YOUR DEAD ASS!" said with more gusto than text can convey.
I mean you go shopping, you wait in the checkout line.
I'm with you there. Thank the Lord for self-checkout lines. *boop*boop*boop* I'm out. It's way better than listening to an octogenarian haggle over the price of canned corn and then write a check. Probably the best place to shop for food has to be a Stew Leonard's megamart near me. They have 50 checkout lines, and they're all open and manned. They even have a drill sargeant-like person who directs slow people (I call them 'slugs') to available checkout lines. It's awesome.
Also, I notice that people from the Midwest (this is anything not in the immediate tri-state area) are shockingly slow. I went to Penn State, and football weekends were nuts. All these people visiting for the game, all walking four abreast on the sidewalk, moving so slowly I would try to pass them, but they're a goddamned wall of flesh, so I would run up onto someone's lawn and then back down again. These people were so slow they made me feel like I was in The Matrix.
USPS or UPS freak out when there is a little bit of snow/ice on the ground and don't deliver packages.
For GBs I try to just forget that I'm in them. I pay the invoice and then try to forget. Until you remind me, Ray. Thanks.
