It is only when one insists that I move as fast one wants me to move that it is necessary to remind one that there are worse things in the world than politely waiting for someone.
You're the one so bothered by 20 wasted seconds, be it at the cash register or the stop light, that you needed to post about it. It not only bothers you at the moment, but apparently well after the fact. So much so that when someone suggests you just not be bothered by it that you have to try to spin it up into a much larger sociological problem with a catastrophic impact on the GDB and shortening the lifespan of American heroes.
It must be difficult to live with the constant aggravation of people not behaving exactly the way you want them to. However, if you aren't bothered by the minor delay, then the advice obviously isn't directed at you but rather the people who waste time complaining about the minor inconveniences of life.

Ahh I see. So it's OK to screw with other people by doing such things as deliberately slowing down next to another car and blocking all traffice as long as
you stay calm. Right-o. I'm sure the world would be a very different place if everyone followed that type of advice.
If on the other hand people would do as I ask, and simply keep their minds on where they are and what they are doing I wounder what difference that would make in the world.
