Nearly a McKay moment

I only just managed to contain myself in the supermarket. I was behind an idiot woman at the express check out. Note the name. Express, meaning  accelerated, fast, high-speed, nonstop, quick, rapid, swift. Not in her world.

I couldn't believe it. She had that glazed pout that Victoria Beckham has most of the time, the one that makes you wonder if she's got some sort of brain injury. I think even the woman serving was stunned by her ineptitude. I limited myself to eye rolling when what I really wanted to do was shout at her. This is what was going on in my head.

"What are you doing? Stop rummaging in your bag! If you're looking for your wallet, why didn't you do that when you were stood in the queue for ten minutes rather than when the server is already ringing up your goods? Come on, just pull a bag off the stand. Good god, come on it's just a frigging carrier bag not a mensa puzzle. That's it, rub it between your finger and thumb. There you are it's open now, aren't you clever? Oh, okay put your purse on the floor, that makes sense and wastes another minute where you have to work out what you were doing when you stand back up. Jesus, are you a goldfish? Stop acting like this is the fist time you've ever done this. I know you must have been in a shop before and I'm pretty sure I've had the misfortune to be stuck behind you in Tesco before now. Oh, yes now you have to pay. So that wasn't your wallet you were getting out before. WHAT ARE YOU DOING. GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!! And please god, have pulled out of the car park before I have to."

You gotta love people like that, because you'd go to gaol if you strangled them. Hopefully you'll have a much nicer night! *hugs*

There should be some law against them breeding. It staggers me that they actually manage to survive because if you have to re-learn how to do something everytime single you do it it must surely be a disadvantage. In the old days they'd have been eaten by a saber tooth tiger and been taken out of the gene pool.

It's enough to make you want to get one of those t-shirts that says "Hey, you! Get out of the gene pool!", isn't it.

OMG!! I hate those people!! And those who wait until the checker has rung everything up, and has the total BEFORE THEY TAKE THEIR CHECKBOOK OUT! And then the write really, really slowly the name, and then how much was it again...*sigh* Use a debit card like everyone else. *feels bad for bitching*

Don't feel bad. These people should be told.
