I'm pretty sure that if I end up in hell (and that's likely, I accidentally sold my soul for some French Fries once), I'm going to be stuck in line for eternity. Not just any line, but a line filled with people who can't make decisions.
Today, I'm standing in line to get some lunch. Somewhat busy, but not frantic/crazy. The ...well, let's just call her a woman, in front of me is gabbing on her cell phone and when she reaches the front of the line she has no clue what she wants to eat.
Okay, strike one - if you're going to be talking on a cell phone, stay at least a little focused on the task at hand. There are people behind you that have been looking at the menu and know what they want.
And then, it takes her a while to figure out what she wants.
Strike two - there aren't very many choices. If you like fish, get the fish. There's only one sub choice there. It's fish or fish. If you want pasta, order the freaking pasta. You get my point.
Then when she gets her food and goes to pay for it, she has to struggle to get her money together. This involves setting everything on the floor including her purse, then picking the purse back up, then rummaging through it for a wallet, then rummaging through the wallet for money. THEN SHE HAD TO COUNT OUT THE EXACT CHANGE TO THE PENNY.
If I wasn't holding my pizza in one hand I might have snapped her neck right there.
So, strike three. If you are standing in line for food and you're not related to anyone there - you're most likely going to have to pay for your food. Don't act like it's a surprise.
She finally waddled away and let me pay for my own food and escape.
The moral - it's all about focus, baby. Focus on the task at hand. If you don't, you're going to be wasting the time of not only yourself, but the people around you. And you have no right to do that. Let them waste their own damn time - like God intended.
Most importantly, you're taking your life into your own hands when you do. Next time, it might be me standing behind you with two free hands. Hey, I'm already going to hell - a couple of random neck-snappings might get me an upgrade down there.

Ahhhh...I feel much better now that I've gotten that out of my system. Thank you.
