LOL, the other day I pulled up behind a lady in the drive thru mailbox lane at the post office. You know, the little 1 way segment of pavement that goes by the mailboxes so you can drop your mail without getting outta the car. Well, she decided to pull up to the box, and then she commenced to write her check out for her bills RIGHT THERE. The mail wasn't even ready. I could see what she was doing in her side mirror.Originally Posted by Scott Harness
Oh Dude! You have to have that done before you get in line
As my patience slooooowly dribbled away, I finally gave her a beep from the VX's oh so tough sounding horn () and she like got startled and snapped out of it. She waved out the window with a "I'm sorry" kinda wave and pulled through so I could drop my mail. No harm done, but why the hell would she think it would be ok to do that there? And if you are going to do that, at least move if someone pulls up behind you. She was just in la-la land and didn't even think to look back every now and then.
And an even better one at the same mail drop. A lady in a mini-van in front of me at the mail drop. We both pulled in at the same time. She stops, fiddles with her envelopes for about 60 seconds, and then GETS out of her car, goes to the open back window, hands the stack of mail to her little kid (maybe 4 or 5 years old) in the car seat in the back so HE could drop the mail for her (isn't that cute? NO!). So right when she got out and handed the mail to the little kid, she sees me sitting there, awe struck at her and what she is doing, she gets embarrassed, and then tries to yank the mail back from the brat in order to expedite the process. But the kid didn't wanna let go (the "I wanna do it myself!" baby from Mad TV comes to mind here). She strong arms the stack of envelopes from the kid (who could barely reach the slot from his car seat mind you) and gets the job done. Then she frantically hopped back in and took off. But seriously, WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH POSSESS PEOPLE TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT????
