You cannot understand why no one else can get through a trip to the grocery store with as much poise and efficiency as you. It seems like everyone from the two gay guys trying to find the perfect wine for dinner to the little Asian woman who cannot reach the soy sauce, to the mother with her gaggle of loose and noisy children are all out to prevent you from getting in, getting your stuff and getting out.
What really pisses you off is when you have five items and want to use the self checkout lane. The problem is, they have three of the four lanes closed down, and the one lane that is open is clogged up with a fat lady with two shopping carts full of groceries, a book full of coupons, and she is paying with crinkled up dollars.
What is wrong with her?
This might seem like something for you to get upset about, but it illustrates a deeper lack of respect for mankind as a whole. Everyone is thinking about themselves and never taking into consideration that they are holding up everyone else. That’s not something you would do.
You were brought up right. You take other people into consideration when making choices like, “Should I clog up the Express Lane with my fifty frozen pizzas because technically it is only ONE item.”
You are far better than that.
There are times that you need to do big shopping and you are prepared for the adventure. You go, you fill up your cart, and you wait it out in the drudgery of the checkout line.
The day that everyone is as kind and considerate as you is the day mankind takes the next step in evolution.
