Time for...I Don't Make This Up!!!
So today I had several errands to run. First I had to go and get my daily cup of coffee and that led me to Dunkin Donuts. I get there and I am behind 4 people. The lady right in front of me, forgot to decide what she wanted (while we were waiting and decided to make up her mind right at the counter) so she is sitting there and she finally orders. She wanted a croissant with something on it and a coffee with creamer and "no sugar" then she gets her coffee and she holds up the line again and asks for a few packets of "sugar", if I could have slapped her I would have, why are people so dumb??? The lady could have put the sugar in for her, trust me she would not have put that much.
Then I had to go to the post office and as usual there is this long line (Does every post office only have one person working the counter?). I made sure that I had packed the items I wanted to send in the priority mail box (you can stuff it as full as you want in the priority boxes and it costs the same no matter what). I get in line and the person at the counter looks like she is trying to send a computer through the mail (in the computer bag, LOL). I said to myself here we go again. I am thinking she tried this before because she told the lady behind the counter that she needed a box. The lady behind the counter did not have a regular box behind the counter, that would fit the computer bag so she had to get this: sign off her terminal and got the back. I was like this is not happening. Then the lady behind the counter came back and told the lady how much it would cost for the box and shipping stuff (tape, etc.) she was like, that is ok I will go to Fed Ex, I started to grab her and say no you will not, after you have been holding up the line for 15 minutes now. So she leaves ( I'm giving her a blank stare, behind my shades) and then the next character approaches the counter. This guy was sending a small bag that looked like he had just went to burger king and he was sending the leftovers in the same bag to somebody. The lady at the counter told him he needed an envelope, somehow he got a priority mail envelope (but he had not filled out the mailing label) she asked him to fill it out to the side and he could come back up when he was done. Fast forward to when he finishes filling out the mailing label and this is when I wanted to pull out the flashlight and point it in is eyes to see if he was on drugs or something. He told the lady that he wanted to use his (pre- moistened stamps - this means that all you have to do is pull and stick) stamps to pay for the postage, so they worked that out and then he asked the lady behind the counter for some water. I was like, OMG, is he thirsty, she was even blowed. He told her he wanted the water so he did not have to lick the stamps that he was going to use to pay for the (flat rate) envelope. She said the stamps have adhesive behind them all you have to do is peel and stick them. I just held my head down in shame and dismay. Mind you we all hear him because we are all waiting so patiently for our turn. I don't even think he got it because he was looking like he had birds flying over his head. LOL!!! I mean sometimes I wonder if you need a high school diploma to go to the post office. How long have they been making postage stamps that don't need water for application???
