The express lane of a supermarket is a good idea. The idea that people who dont have a trolley load of items are allowed their own lane is really appealing. Some countries dont have an express lane, so here in Australia, were blessed.
As with any concept it is no longer ideal when its path crosses with human nature.
I was in the supermarket, yes I went again and i did buy more ice tea. Anyway, I only had a couple of items and i thought I would use the express lane. I stood there for some time, long enough for the lane to no longer be called express.
So I looked down the lane, and I found her. This lady, she had just finished unloading what seemed to be more than 10 products. I had stood in the line thinking I would get out quick, but then she, lets call her Paris, decided to use the express lane. I hate seeing inconsiderate people. When everyone follows the rules except for the odd egg. Thats what make me mad. I looked over at Paris, she looked as if she had done nothing wrong.
When you follow rules, you begin to assume everyone else will. Unfortunately, our society has few Utopian characteristics.
I was thinking of telling her what she did wrong, but I didnt want to make a scene. So I left her, and I waited patiently. After all, I wasnt late for anything...
