oooohhhh don't get me started...
am I the only one who gets behind the
dimwit in the bank drive through, who
I swear is taking out a loan......
as a side note to the cash thing....I checked
into a hotel the other day, handed them my
credit card for security/deposits etc. and I
told them I wanted to pay cash...she would
not let me pay cash....I had to pay with the
credit card....I was not happy..

I have made peace with God and accepted the "Law of Lines". I won't get
upset by it, I won't be angered by it and I won't physically harm any one
because of it. The "Law of Lines" states that any time you get in a line,
the slowest, dumbest mother fucker on the planet will always be in front of
you. He takes longer to order a hamburger than most people do to buy a
car. If he does eventually decide what he wants, he will haggle over the
price or conduct a long-term search for his $.05 cents off coupon. Or, he
needs a price check on an item located in the back of the store or his
credit card won't come up on the screen. Or, he wants to buy a five year
supply for all his pals back at the trailer park. Or, he just wants to
kill some time chatting with the sales clerk or cashier. But, I now accept
this as a fact of life and no longer want to beat his brains out with a
baseball bat. This is what is called "personal growth". BTW, I have also
accepted the fact that I am the only person in America who still carries
cash, pays with cash and actually has cash ready when I step up to the
counter.
Thanks ever so much for allowing me to share.
