if nothing is annoying you, mark, you ought to hang with me for a day.<g>
Another thing that annoys me is the line at the grocery store check out and the numerous ways people hold up the process:
1. They want to write a check for more than the amount due so that they can get cash, but of course have not followed the store's rules for doing so(this requires a high level management conference):
2. They have three million coupons, which they forgot to give the checker until after they've paid with a check, and gotten their extra cash through a conference of all management level employees on the premises;
3.They can't find their checkbook, credit card, debit card, cash, etc. because it turns out they left their pocketbook or wallet in the car.
4.They don't understand how to use those electronic machines through which you run your credit card, debit card, whatever while the checker is processing the groceries.
5. The decision as to whether to utilize paper or plastic turns into a philosophical discussion of mammoth proportions.
6. The checker feels the great need to discuss with the other checkers and baggers in near proximity three or four issues of tagging, bagging and/or other burning grocery store issues, in which you have no interest. This would be okay except that YOUR checker can't seem to talk and check at the same time.
(There are many more I could add to this, but I'm off to the grocery store.......VBG)
