Didn’t Dennis Leary have a song about them?
I feel like calling Jeff Allan’s “Hour of Rage.”
So I’m standing in a very long line at the supermarket the other day, with my 16 items, queuing up in the “18 items or less” line, eagerly awaiting my departure from the madding crowd, when I says to myself “Self, why is it taking so darn long to get to the checkout?”
So I glance up ahead of me, and darn it if the couple at the cashier has decided to unload 32 items! And while it is never a precise science to engage in stereotyping, they call it stereotyping for a reason. So allow me to proceeed. These are the same type of folks who park in the disabled spot, talk during movies, throw stuff out the car window, smoke with kids in the car, yada yada yada. The kind of people who don’t realize that they are sharing the planet and that the world does not exist for them.
On the other hand, maybe they simply didn’t see the “18 items or less” sign.
I would prefer to believe that, lest I become a lesser person myself.
