As I'm sure you have noticed, in your x amount of years of life, you spend a lot of said life waiting. Waiting for the doctor to call with your results, waiting for the water to boil, waiting for the bloody commercials to be over and for your show to come back on. You wait for your mom to stop nagging you about your messy room, and you wait in line at the coffee shop in the morning before you start your day. Although it sucks, waiting is a part of life, and you simply have to learn to be patient and wait it out.
One thing though that I cannot patient is when you're standing in that coffee shop line, or whatever line you happen to reside in, and the person behind you tells you to move up a bit. And you know what? No! I will not move up a bit! There's a reason whtI left that bit of room there, and it's because I do not need to smell what shampoo that guy used this morning, and I don't want him to have to feel my hot, sticky breath on the back of his neck like I am currently feeling yours. It's very creepy.
And frankly, what difference would it even make? Whether or not we take up an entire city block, or cram into the shop like a bunch of sardines, it will take as long as it will take and you will get there when you get there! The only difference is that now that you've not so politely told me to move with no good reason, there's a slightly higher chance of you getting smacked upside the head. So now you will get there at the exact same time, only with a lovely bump on that dense noggin of yours.
Please, regardless of how eager you are to get your morning coffee, don't be that annoying chump who tries to make everybody else physically uncomfortable just for the semblance of getting there sooner.
Thank you kindly!
What's super annoying is when people are waiting for a bus, and they all push toward the door, and anyone trying to get off the bus can't because there's no room. Those people need to realize that whether they stand close, or farther away from the bus, it's not going to make a difference. The bus isn't going to leave without them or anything.
ReplyDeleteExactly, sometimes you just need top be patient! Failing to do so just makes everyone around you aggravated.
DeleteI LOVE when people do this. It is beyond entertaining.
ReplyDeleteWhen I'm working cash or fitting rooms, people are literally the crankiest, most impatient scrooges of life. Lady relax, I shall get to checking out your pair of earrings soon enough.
There's a cool song all about just this, it's called "Walk Left, Stand Right" basically saying how there are ways things work, like on an escalator, if you are in a hurry you walk up the left side and stand on the right, but for some reason certain people just do not get it! I think it honestly has soemthing to do with all the technology and this instand age we live in, people are uncomfortable just being by themselves, alone in their minds. So if they don't have an ipod or something they are incapable of just chilling and waiting there turns
