The Stimulus check for my wife and me arrived

5. Oh, I know. It's the same everywhere.

Back in the day, I used to be frustrated by people who waited until they got their total at the supermarket to take their checkbook out of their purse and start to write a check. Then, of course, they'd take time to put the receipt in their purse, after the transaction, and maybe rearrange some other things in there.

There are many frustrations caused by people who appear to be unaware of those waiting behind them. Sometimes, it's just absent-mindedness. Sometimes is passive aggression. Either way, patience is needed.

My very least favorite example in that regard is going through the Taco Bell drive-through line. The person in the car in front of me is always someone who has apparently never ordered takeout from a Taco Bell before, and has no idea what they want to order. So, they study the menu on the display, and gesture toward it as they order each individual item, as though someone can see them pointing at the item on the menu. Meanwhile, the line gets longer and longer behind them, while they remain oblivious. I suspect that, in most cases, they order the same exact items they ordered the last time they were there, anyhow.
