It Must Be Me -Part II

I was in line at a fast food restaurant yesterday and waiting patiently as the first guy places a huge order. No problem, he was there first. There was a guy behind him then me, in line 3rd. We would just have to wait our turn. The guy up front finishes and pays, the guy in front of me steps up to the register and the cashier ask for his order. He puts his hand to his chin and starts perusing the menu like they just put it up there. I'm thinking, we've been standing here for 10 minutes and you wait until you step to the register to decide what you want to order?

Riding back on the freeway, which is now THREE lanes wide, we are cruising at a comfortable 73 miles an hour. We approach traffic stretched across all three lanes. Driver in the far left lane is going about 69 miles per and refuses to budge. We have three lanes of traffic on a freeway totally tied up because someone can't read the sign "Slower Traffic Keep Right". Note it doesn't give exception for slower traffic traveling at the speed limit, it just says SLOWER traffic keep right. If he would just move over, a common courtesy, we could all go about our merry way.

In line to pay for my groceries while the clerk is finishing checking out the lady in front of me. The clerk finally finishes the process and gives the customer her total. Now this lady starts looking for her purse and then digging for her wallet and starts beginning to get her money together. I guess it was a big surprise to her after the 10 minute check-out process that the clerk was going to ask her for money!

So that I don't have to write a blog describing your bad behavior, please decide what you want to order before you step up to the register, move your ass over to the right lanes on the freeway when faster traffic approaches you, AND get your money out and ready WHILE the clerk is ringing up your groceries.

Is that TOO much to ask? Have a nice day!
