how to piss me off for five minutes minimum

in just five simple steps!

1. while waiting on line to order food, absolutely do not pay attention to the menu that's displayed right above you in clear view or to the long line standing behind you.

2. when you get to the cashier to order, take your dear sweet time deciding what you want, and also ask questions about particular items on the menu. this whole step should take up to three full minutes.

3. finally decide on an item. no wait! you want this one instead. and watch the cashier cancel the order with a new one. always fun for the next person on line.

4. stand there like an idiot as the cashier gives you the price, and then spend a good minute digging through your purse for your wallet.

5. give your credit card for a $5 purchase. if you're lucky, it won't go through the first time. then sign your full name in a perfect little script. maybe even dot your eyes with a smiley face.

yeah, trust me, that'll work.

it just did.

What kills me is when you go somewhere where the menu's been the same since 1959 and people are looking at it like they've never been there before. Big Macs. Fries. MAYBE a walnut/apple salad for some krazzzeeeee variety. Not hard.

Or a generic place that offers something like blueberry pancakes vs. scrambled eggs. THESE ARE NOT MAGICAL EGGS, PEOPLE! ORDER and MOVE ON!

So yeah, apparently this pisses me off too. Or maybe I'm just hungry.

i hate it that they've been there a thousand times and still, STILL can't decide. maybe they have food menu anxiety like me. dont hate on us,
i'm guessing you were in line for a burrito and i'm guessing it was still worth it.
