Like when you're writing with a pen at the bank and the ink runs dry? You're probably in line and the pens are at different intervals of the line so you have to wait to try the next pen and as you do so you wonder why you forgot to bring your own pen? Can't really share your frustration because everyone in line is guarding their personal information so there you are, in line at the bank, with no pen. What a world. Finally, you reach the bank teller and she or he has a pen, but by this time, you've forgotten how to sign your own name. Drats. Why did I need this pen in the first place? This isn't my check. Who does this belong too? Where am I?
