On the way to work this morning I stopped at the drug store to get some medicine for my sinuses. It was to be a quick stop. I would grab what I needed, run to the register and be back on the road before my car had cooled one degree. This would have worked if I wouldn't have gotten in a line behind a woman who was writing a CHECK! Who in the hell writes checks anymore? Especially when there is a line of people behind them--all on their way to work--who don't have time to piss around?

This woman not only wrote a check but she messed around with some damn coupon or something and chatted and distracted the cashier so the whole process took ten minutes. Everyone behind her was growing annoyed and she continued to chat away oblivious to anyone but herself. It was clear she wasn't in a hurry and that's probably because she had extra time leftover after skipping breakfast. She was about as wide as a pencil.

All I ask is for people to be cognizant and considerate of others. Is it that damn hard?

It was once thought that the earth was the center of the universe until Copernicus formulated heliocentric cosmology. I would like to propose a similar formula and that is that no human is the center of the universe! Use your brains people, stop getting caught up in your mundane bullshit and think about others. The universe is bigger than you. Oh, and get a damn Visa debit card...
