Oh, that person can fricking die. When the light is green, you should be able to shoot at the first person in line and anyone in the intersection.


In Croatia, the light turns green/yellow before it turns green. This is your signal to fricking step on it! If you don't, they will run you over. Amazing drivers there, everyone goes and gets out everyone else's way. Awesome country to travel and stay in!

They take like 15 minutes to write the check


Old checking-writing lady wants to know what 15 minutes is like to you?

I would rather be behind an elderly person writing a check that's lived a long fulfilling life and has worked hard than a Democrat with $600 worth of little debbie's and ernge drank that whips out her ebt card

At least they don’t have to worry about security breaches. Maybe they don’t trust debit/credit cards with all the online fraud and hacking.

I especially like when they take the time to write it in the ledger and balance as well. Might as well do it all at once right?




You’re damn right. And I’m going to let out a big fart while I’m doing it especially for you with your fricking Halo Top and coconut water.

Nah. There's a threshold where people no longer give a shite, like the elderly people the OP mentioned. You think they give two squirts if ol' baw gets his panties in a wad because they want to write a check. Hell no. I'm not "fotting in the grocery line" bad yet, but with every passing year my GAF levels get lower and lower.

You're just jealous that they know how to write in cursive.



The day is near when the Library of Congress will have to hire a elderly person to read the historical documents to school kids who cant read cursive.

My FIL rules he and his wife’s finances with an iron fist. Uber paranoid... checks and cash only. He has an Am Ex for restaurants. Otherwise, they call us for stuff like reserving vacation properties or to buy stuff off Amazon. Like they want my wife to use her credit card for their stuff.

Once, in a nice restaurant, their CC machines went down. The manager came to the table and said, “it’s ok, we’ll just take down your information...”. He friggin lost his mind. The hell you will! I thought we were going to leave without paying for a bit.

I had to use checks when my card got hacked. However, I bring a pen and have it filled out before I get to the cashier just so guys like you don't have to wait.

I usually self checkout, but if I have to go regular checkout I won't get in a line with more than one old person, black person or combination of both and if its packed I find the line with the fewest old people and black people, I don't care if its the longest line it's guaranteed faster.

I'd personally rather take a check than a credit card. Credit card costs me 3%. I've had two checks bounce in nine years only one gave me grief getting the money.

Im actually shocked how many people still have check books. I probably get 5-6 paper checks a day.
Scan them with my phone, file them a couple of weeks then shred them.
