Dont you just want to slap them? I was behind a woman the other day who actually just stood there at the counter carrying on her phone conversation. The clerk gave her the price and she just stood there yapping away not even getting out her money. The poor clerk was just standing there looking at all of us in line like WTF? She finally cleared the yappers sale and helped the person in line behind her. This, of course, caused the yapper to throw a fit because SHE was next in line. Said something to the person on the other end of the call about the clerk being a "rude bitch". HUH? It amazes me that some people can be so completely unaware of how they actually occur in the world. I would have sworn that we were all part of some sort of hidden-camera prank. It was unreal.
