I don't want to offend you, but most of those things you are complaining about, are about waiting.

Why are you always in such a hurry? It is not healthy.

However, I agree with the last one 100%. If it wasn't for junk mail I wouldn't get any mail at all.

No offense taken. But that's an interesting concept. However, I was en route to my job with little time to stop for a quick bite to eat, since my 1st break would not be for 8 hours. So I stopped at a local fast food restaurant and used their drive thru. What should I have in front of me but an automobile occupied by one guy who must have had about 7 seperate orders to fill. Most restaurant managers post a sign on the drive thru speaker telling customers that anything more than 3 orders has to be filled inside the restaurant.

Restaurant drive thrus, like grocers express lanes, were created for quickness and convience. But too often they are abused by individuals who wishes to use them to place the orders of their entire family and friends in the car or left at home.

The post office holds me up every time. There should either be an express line for those who know what they want and another line for those who aren't sure.

Also, if there are four or more people in line, get Joe Smith from the back, where he idly sits on a package and tell him to open the other window!

Or an even better idea, one line for stamps and mail pick up, the other for mailing, questions and debates over the benefit of Priority Overnight versus Priority Two Day!

To this country boy,

It sounds like the big city blues...

What's an ATM look like?
What's it like to use a cell-phone?
Fast food is skipping cooking the bacon and having eggs sunny-side up.

You are so right, MT. Everytime I go to the post office, there are only 2 out of 6 windows open. And there's always that one asshole who needs to ask a million and one questions but have nothing to purchase or service to be rendered.

This occurred to me when I went to Verizon to purchase a cell phone. Picture this.....only 2 employees on duty. One is handling a sale and the other is handling a customer with hundreds of questions. However, there are at least 7 other customers waiting to be helped. I give credit to the salesman for he handed the guy a pamphlet and told him that all of the answers are in there. But the guy insisted on delaying the salesman from helping others. In fact, several customers left in disgust because of this one dumbass guy. So what happened? The guy before me, a 90 year old grouch, literally balled the guy out and told the salesman that there are paying customers waiting to be serviced and that the "questionman" hasn't spent a dime yet. Needless to say, the man with the million questions walked out of the store without purchasing a thing.

My point is that in today's time of high technology, there are now 800 numbers that you can call to ask these questions. Basically, the guy was constantly asking questions about distance that the service can go if he had their cell phone.

Restraurant drive thrus were created because it provides yet another way to make it easy for people to spend money. They offer the illusion of speed, and the fast-food industry fosters this perception deliberately, but the tradeoff is you can't hop into another line when you see this one isn't moving...

ANOTHER ASPECT

A single parent who uses child support money for their own personal use and/or luxuries should be arrested for embezzlement and forced to pay the money back to the parent who pays it.

 

[MissTaken]

Hmmmmm

I would want more information before agreeing with that statement. There have been times that upon recieving the child support, I have run out to buy a new sweater or something.


However, in those situations where child support is spent on me, or fun things for the family, all of my money has been spent on bills and kids.

So, I suppose it isn't a matter of which check is used for fun money.....certainly, proportionately, in my situation, child support doesn't come close to providing meaningfully for the kids.

(NOt a gripe, I chose the amount.)

A friend of mine paid his exwife $7000 in division of assets. She promptly went and got a boob job! Now, that seems a bit ridiculous especially since she asked for money for school clothes a few months later.

I wish there were silly laws against drive thrus (supposed to be faster) that when you finally pull up you are told by the voice inside the box, please wait a moment before I can take your order???
No I am not a person who is impatient or not an understanding person (like scenario? she/he needed to pee or change power packs or whatever?) BUT when you heard this happen to the cars before you??? HELLO? Drive thru supposedly means quite fast service. I complained to the manager in my 'best I am not impressed voice."
Since then it has happened several more times so I now 'fastfood' elsewhere.

Ironically Debbie.......this always happens to me when the person before me just placed an order for an entire fucking army instead of just himself, as drive thru services were invented for.

I wish there was a law prohibiting goobers from flirting with engaged women. Coz it pisses the intended husbands off no end.

I think pissing you off would be a bad thing...

Ummm, no problem Draco. I won't even look at your Cherry.

Hey Draco? I'm gonna leer at your woman and you can TRY and kick my butt. But remember I am kiwi born and bred, country style.

GuyJD? Draco looks scary but you just got to know how to handle them right. My bigrednz? He is a man with red hair and a quick temper to match BUT I can tame that lion with a simple word or two. (Pssst don't look into Draco's eye's, walk away, slowly. )

No problem, Debbie. All I have to do is wrap my 21' arm around his pencilneck and flex my bicep. That should squeeze his Adam's apple into applesauce. LOL

I think the above happens a lot.

I am guilty of that .... but my "interludes" do not fall under "romantic" more like titillating & tantalizing "interludes".

You're very right. But the problem is it becomes abusive. What starts out as a common thread turns into a one-on-one PM thread between 2 or 3 people.
