Several of us are standing out in front of a bank at 8:59 waiting for them to open. A guy drives up, gets out of his car and walks through us and pulls on the locked door. Had to bite my lip not to say "what in the ---- do you think we are all standing here for?"
3 of us standing in front of the elevator, the up light is already lit and the down light is already lit. Guy comes up and pushes the up button again. Like it will speed up the elevator.

For some the world and universe revolves around their over important being.
For the rest of us mere mortals we spin en masse.

walks through us and pulls on the locked door.
In high school, one of my classes was strangely split in half with our lunch in the middle. Our teacher would lock the door when we left and unlock it upon our return. One day, late in the year after we'd grown accustomed to this routine, he walks up and asks why we were all just standing around when there was studying to be done. We, of course, replied that we'll study as soon as he dang well unlocked the door. He promptly walked to the door, pulled it open and went inside. It had been unlocked the whole time we stood there that day. One of many examples of "don't take little things for granted" that I don't always remember... including highway pegs. Just yesterday I tossed my feet out onto them while heading from work but only one found a home. The other, whose peg had been raised hours earlier while parking, nearly hit the highway at 65mph. My point? While I may not burst through a crowd to yank on a locked door, I will certainly at least ask, "has anyone tried it?" |

Had to bite my lip not to say "what in the ---- do you think we are all standing here for?" On the other hand, imagine how stupid I felt one day when I saw a group standing around, looking very much like a group waiting for doors to be unlocked, so I stopped and waited...waited until the van came and picked them all up. So now, I compromise and ask if they're waiting for the door to be unlocked. Ended up having a nice conversation with some folks just the other day, waiting for a restaurant to open. |

About 10 yrs ago I walked up to 3 folks waiting for an office supply store to open at 10. Pushed the door bar and went in, followed be 3 sheepish people! Classic!!  |

You know, it's beginning to sound like the first guy mentioned, the one who tried the locked door when there were people waiting, may actually have been the smartest

So you have been behind my wife! I constantly have to put a hand on her back and move her out of the door way so others can get in the store. |

That's nothing. Ten years ago next week I had my triple bypass. The preliminary testing included doing that test where they go in near the groin and run the thing up to the heart and inject dye to see where the blockage is. As they were wheeling me into the roome for testing, I happened to notice there was braille on the plaque next to the door, the plaque identified what the room was for. When I got inside I asked the nurses why the braille on the room ID plaque, her answer...."that's for the surgeons!" We all had a good laugh over it, kinda eased the tension a bit. |

I every so often have to remind my help that turning the ac thermastat down when its already running won't make it cool faster. And or, when it gets real cold up here , don't turn the heater fan on high until the cars engine warms at least a little. (wind chill effect)

Those, often, are the same folks who are driving a car and start to turn right into a parking lot then stop ... with their rear fender STILL in the street!  Seen a couple of fender benders as a result of their inaction.  |

Most of us have been to Walmart.  Why do people find the narrowest aisle they possibly can to stop and have their conversation in?? And why is it that AFTER the cashier has rung you up you A-can't seem to find your cash and/or your credit card and B-again after the cashier has rung you up-you discover that the item you actually came for is still on the shelf-wait for it-at the back of the store??  RIDE SAFE. |
