This shite reminds me of one of the most stressful stupid arse moments I've had.
My wife was having some nasal surgery done deviated septum or some shite. Anyway, after sitting in the waiting room forever. She is done, and of course groggy as all hell. Get her to the car and she's out like a light.
Go to pay the ticket to get out of the parking deck, and the card reader is broken. I'm cussing at this damn thing, keep trying my card, this card, that card, nothing works. Turn around and there's about 7 cars behind me waiting to get out of the parking deck. People start getting out of their cars looking at me like I'm retarded.
I'm trying to explain the card reader is broken, the first 4-5 cars have no cash. Finally, someone ponied up 3 bucks and we all rushed out as soon as it opened.

I am always behind the slowest person possible in a gas station/convenience store.
I'll have a Xyience energy drink and a pack of gum, will take me 30 seconds to complete the transaction. Not the person in front of me. They need cigarettes, so they ask to be shown certain types. They ask about the prices. Then they decide to go with a pack. Ok, but then they need a scratch off, then another one. Then they want to have small talk. And then they can' figure out how to swipe a car, or insert their card with a chip.

I was in line at a fast food restaurant today with one cashier and one person being waited on and I was the next customer. The guy is looking at the menu trying to decide what he wants, taking several seconds. He turns and looks at me waiting, then turns back to the cashier and the other worker nearby and starts asking them for recommendations, asking about one item, then another and another, obviously knowing full well I am waiting for him to finish. He gets it narrowed down to two choices, hems and haws a bit, then says "how about [some other item he hadn't yet mentioned]?" Took the guy probably 2 or 3 minutes after he turned and saw me to order one fricking sandwich. I don't begrudge someone making sure they get what they want, but that was pretty rude on his part, IMO. Glad I wasn't in a hurry, so it didn't bother me, but if I had been, I would have been pretty annoyed.

If I ever commit murder, it would definitely be one of thee types. I am so conscious of this stuff...I would hate to put anyone out. As George Costanza said:
"I can sense the slightest bit of human suffering." It's a gift. I hate the following:
People who go to Albertson's liquor department and get a 7 dollar bottle of wine with $80 worth of groceries.
People who still write checks...get a god damn debit card or stop trying to cheat your funds. They cash that shite with the quickness now.
Pharmacies. Yes, the pharmacist purposely wants to inconvenience you. Dipshits, it's your own doctor who fricked it all up.
Also, there is a special place in hell for both parties -- the guy who says, "Ma'am/sir" I can get you over on lane 6." They do this when I am behind an old bag with 200 dollars worth of Bisquick and broccoli and I am sandwiched by a family of 6 who bought 120 dollars worth of Kool-Aid, neck bones, and solo cups. Also, the people who walk right up at the end of a line and wait 20 seconds and then think it's their place to take the newly opened register. Grocery stores have stupid policies. It's real simple...let the newbies get in line behind coupon lady and let those of us who have waited for 10 minutes have the new check-out aisle.

Good call. I forgot them. I cannot stand the idiots who think scratch-offs will improve their lives. You smell like cigarettes and all you eat is chicken and biscuits. Yeah, win more money...you'll invest that and everything. You sure wouldn't step up and order a 24 piece instead of a 12; you would not want to actually quits smoking because you have more money.
Convenience stores are training their employees at the DMV.

shouldve taken one of the 12 cokes, shaken it up, and sprayed her in the face like you just won a nascar race
Better yet should of shaken the whole pack up while she was outside and let her find out when she got home and opened one.

Didn't read entire thread. But what happened to the deodorant?

I experienced my worst case about 2 weeks ago:
I always start my grocery shopping less than an hour before close. Whether Walmart, Win-Dixie, Rouse's, whatever, it typically limits having to deal with trash. This time it was at a Win-Dixie.
The downside of late shopping is that it cuts down on available cashiers. In this case, there was only one open line. I pull my cart up behind 4 Hispanic (pretty sure Cuban) women checking out. One adult woman, and what I assume are her 3 late teenage daughters.
They had a decent amount of groceries that they were buying, but whatever, can't complain about that. Thing is, since it's nearly closing time, the cashier doesn't have a bagger. In the past, I've seen the manager help out, but not this time. So rather than help the cashier and speed things up, they just stand there waiting while the cashier scans all of their items, waiting for her to start bagging them. Not only that, but as the cashier is just finished scanning the groceries, they start talking in Mexican about some of the limes that they were buying.
They tell the cashier something in English (I was zoned out, so didn't hear exactly what they said), and proceed to walk all the way across the store to the fruit section. They spend 3 or 4 minutes looking at more fruits. While this is happening, all of the "shop late for convenience" people in the store are building up behind me. The cashier SHOULD have been bagging all of their groceries during this time, but it escapes her mind. She was in her 50's and working night shift at Win-Dixie, so while she's nice, she's not the brightest. Or maybe she was worried about their payment going through. Dunno. The women finally come back with literally just 3 more limes and hand them to the cashier. Then they stand there watching as the cashier bags/helps load their groceries in the cart.
When it's my turn, I resurrect my grocery bagging training that I'd learned at 17 and did fantastic work of my wares as soon as the cashier scanned them. Took under 2 minutes total, and the woman thanked me for helping her out. We gave each other a wink and a nod in acknowledgement of frustration of the women the preceded me, probably in agreement that we should send those Cubans back to Mexico.

Coupon people are the worst. I was in walgreens a few years ago on calentines day getting stuff for my wife and this fat behemoh was playing the coupon game and had a line of people out the door waiting behind her so she could get a basket full
Of shite for $5.

Toll booths can be a PITA.
Despite several advance postings of toll charges, cash only lanes, etc., peeps still find a way to enter the wrong lane, look for dough, sort their purses & wallets, then ask for a receipt.

Even worse... People that use a debit card and THEN pull out the check register.

ss. Nearly every morning there's a line out to the street for the drawer lane, and the other lanes are empty because nimrods are scared to use the pneumatic tubes."
They may have coins in those bank bags I don't think they let u use the tubes if you have coins
