"I'd like to deposit $100 all in pennies. A- one, a-two, a-three..."

[mondo joe]

I can't take all the damn slow people in all the lines everywhere.

I want to kill the people who finish paying for their groceries and then need to re-organize their entire purse/wallet right there without moving so I can move into the paying customer spot.

I want to destroy the people who are in line for 10 minutes at Starbucks but don't think about what to order until they're asked what they'll have, and then need another 10 minutes to figure it out.

I don't think I can take it anymore.

1. Lexapro works for this IMO

2. Anyone that has ever worked in retail hates them as well

[mondo joe]

3. I hate them more than I did when I worked retail

As far as I'm concerned my time is the most important resource I have.

I'm amazed that so many people have SO LITTLE to do with their time that they can just spend it like this.

4. My bank just makes you put them in a bag...

...and they say they'll count them later. And they also charge you 5% for counting over $25 worth of coins, which is cheaper than a Coinstar machine, but still a rip-off. Now I went and bought a coin-counting tray from a restaurant supply store so I know that I'm bringing in less than $25, plus I know how much I'm depositing so I can check that they accounted for all of it.

5. Are you thinking of the same old WB cartoon I am?

With the old ladies with super-speed?

[mondo joe]

6. Definitely an old WB cartoon, butI don't remember super speed

I remember her being the one in line ahead of Bugs, counting out her pennies.

7. No, it was a non-recurring-character toon about a housewife's day

One of the stunts was she having to pay bills at the bank, running to an empty line, and then, an old ladie comes, like The Flash, in front of her, and starts counting her pennies.

[mondo joe]

8. Oh that's her. Yes, like the flash until she starts counting

9. lol!

Yesterday when I was taking a bus this older man got on the bus dressed in sweatpants and shirt. It took him a while to get up to the top of the steps, and then he started asking questions of the bus driver, who happened to be a woman (which is why I think she was so patient with him). Asking the same questions like four and five times. When is the next bus? Where do I get off? Where do I get the bus going back? Where is the YMCA? over and over again!

The problem is, the bus had to take a short detour, and the Y was passed over with the detour, so she had to tell him that because of that, he would have to walk back a little to get there. So she is stopped, he is ready to get off, and then he asks the same exact questions over and over again!

It was like he was not comprehending anything she was telling him. The schedules were right behind her in a pocket, but he just didn't "get it" that his questions would all be covered by the schedule. Oy. At the end of it, most of us were just ready to push him off the bus! (Which we restrained ourselves from doing!)

10. Some people who write checks...

I know people who don't even look for their checkbook until the cashier says, "That'll be 48.97, sir/ma'am." . People like that should be beaten to death on the spot.

[zbdent]

11. How about the people who wait until the entire order is rung up

before looking for their checkbook? They could have had everything but the amount and the "amount description" filled in as they waited . . .

[mondo joe]

13. I had to wait through a bus passenger like that - didn't think to get

I had to wait through a bus passenger like that - didn't think to get her purse open until she got to the pay thingy. Then she had to fish through the purse, get the change purse, look through it, find the right change....

Long enough for me to be psychically screaming "JUST GO! JUST MAKE THE FUCKING BUS GOOOOOOO!!!!"

12. i payed for a car in singles once

[Roon]

14. People buying lottery tickets drive me crazy...

15. Sit down here Joe, Lets have a little talk

Ok, check to see if you are breathing. Are you holding your breath?
Relax! Check to see if you are still tense everywhere..

Now for the message..

Dang Dude.. chill! It ain't worth it all to upset yourself inside out like that over a little line for coffee.. Maybe you don't really need that Starbucks? Consider some nice herbal tea.

Really now whats really got you upset, cause its just not rational to get your panties in a wad over the line at Starbucks, and the grocery store

Try this one next time you go to the store.
