Post Office
Why do fat old dumb people continue to fuck everything up for the rest of us! I'm at the post office today to buy some stamps for my Christmas cards. The line at the counter is about 20 people deep, but there is a self check out machine on the side that doesn't have that many people in line. So I jump into that line, but then realize that there is a 300 pound 60 year old female trying to buy postage for about 10 packages, but has no clue how to work the machine. Why do people do this? If you don't know how to use it, don't even attempt it unless there is no one in the store. Slowly behind me a line of about 8 people form, so now the entire Post Office is packed and people are getting mad. We all try to offer our help to her, but guess what, SHE DOESN'T SPEAK ENGLISH!!! OK, maybe that is not entirely true, but she speaks very broken English and we realize that it is a lost cause to even start to explain to her how this thing works. One man in front of me sort of pushed her into the other line with a collective sigh of relief from everyone else. This could of resulted in an all out riot if she was allowed to stay there any longer.
