Another observation on the oddness of people.

Totally. I have my share of regulars that I love to chat with. They'll kindly step aside and let me help others if there's a line. It's just when people act as if they're more important than the people behind them that I get annoyed.

What intrigued me in particular today is the concept that there are people that never seem to want to get in and out and on with their lives. Not to say that people should always want to hurry, of course. But it appears to me that these select few always want things to go as slowly as possible. Maybe they just think slower or something....they don't seem dumb to me. The attitude brings to mind the stereotype of the ambling Southern plantation owner, taking their time with everything, because it's too humid to go any faster.

I'm not an "ambling" type, I guess.
