"What, is it a surprise EVERY TIME that you have to pay for your food? They told you how much it was when you ordered, you didn't think you might actually, oh, open your purse and get your money ready at that time instead of standing there?"
I see that on the train all the time. The conductor showes up and suddenly they're hunting for their wallets in their purses or whatever, then trying to count out the money.
Actually, that costs the train line money, as they often don't get to everyone on the train so some get to ride for free.
Do you have to be home to receive delivery?
Yeah, but they've got delivery times up to 10 pm. (And DH works from home.)
Actually, most of the time, I'm really laid back about other people's antics. I do get annoyed with the store when they only have 2 cashiers and very long lines, but that's just a low level irritant. Except this past weekend when I needed to get home to shoot the cat and ended up in line for 40 minutes and I was DETERMINED to not have to go out again because I was in a Very Bad Mood. Otherwise, I'll cut my losses and leave.
Ooh, hey. Speaking of grocery stores... [link]
FTR, I was in the under-20 express lane when things got interesting.
IN line for 40 minutes? Jesus Christ, if I was in line for 40 minutes, I'd walk outta that store with free fucking food.
The weirdest thing I saw was when a guy who was three people back behind me suddenly demanded that he be allowed to the front of the line because he "was in a hurry."
Luckily I had just finished my purchase. Or maybe unluckily, as I'd love to been able to say, "I'm in a hurry too, and I've already waited for my turn."

Ooh, cool! I missed that fire....
Not me. I headed straight for the patio at the bar across the street (which, to be fair, was already the plan), called a friend, and spent the entire afternoon drinking and scoping out firefighters and cops. Including one who looked just like Michael Chicklis on the Shield, but kept coming by to laugh at us and make us promise to buy him a beer after the fire.
I heard about that fire on the radio--did they ever figure out what caused it?
Lots of fires in the local news lately. I was sad to hear about the local morning show DJ whose house went up while he was on an Alaskan cruise, and his little doggie who he was always bragging about on-air died in the blaze. Poor Otis (the dog, not the DJ).
