Cutting In Line Isn’t Just For Middle School Anymore
Sometimes when I get irritated about something I just can’t keep my mouth shut about it anymore. So, for the 3rd day in the row, when someone cut in line to be next at the register when it was my turn today, I couldn’t resist making a nice little comment.
“How nice of you to cut in line in front of me.”
The woman heard me and made a snarky little comment. I let it go and just kind of glared at her.
A little back note, the woman and her cart were off to the side, at the seats. She wasn’t in line. So, in my opinion, I had every right to be irritated at how impolite she was. Whenever I sit on the benches to wait for my prescription to be done, and then decide to get in the line, I go to the back. I’m nothing special to be able to cut in front of people who’d had to wait 10-15 minutes in a long line just to pick up some prescription. I wait for them to be done, because that’s only polite and it’s only fair to those that had to stand in that line for their prescription that was already done.
Though yesterday the old couple who came up from the side and inched their way in front of me, even though I’d been waiting in line already, they deserve the old-as-dirt-and-rude-as-hell award because they didn’t even have an excuse for their impoliteness.
So, to go back to the title of this entry… I suppose cutting in line isn’t just for middle school anymore. It’s also for old people and lazy jerks.
