Quote:Sister in law and Wife [BAD WORD REMOVED] about work on speakerphone, on Friday night

To just expand on this, people (women) who just HAVE to be on their cell phone at all times, whether they're driving a car at 7AM or in line at the grocery store checkout. I also see people (women) in line at a Chipotle and refuse to get off the phone, even when the employee is asking them what they want on their burrito. It's extremely rude. Of course, everyone in line can overhear the conversation and it's the most inane, worthless, petty conversation in the world. Talking about this guy or that girl and utterly meaningless. I bet that a good 75% of all cell phone conversations are completely meaningless and empty and just venting or bad-mouthing somebody. I don't know why people are so afraid to be alone with their thoughts or just listen to music instead of constantly being tethered to their phones. It's a modern day addiction.


I also hate when people stand in line at checkout and just sit there and watch the cashier swipe all their purchases and at the end, reach for their wallet and almost look surprised that they now have to pay. When I'm in line, I have my debit card out, ready to pay. As soon as the first item is scanned, I swipe my card and enter my PIN. Then as soon as the cashier's done swiping, the transaction's completed instantly and I'm on my way. Apparently most people think you have to wait until everything's scanned before you can swipte your card but you can do it immediately after the first item's scanned. I just think it's considerate to the people behind you to try to move the line along more quickly.


And don't even get me started at the old people who write checks at Publix......................
