It’s true. There is no more polite society that hasn’t been exploited. People lie and steal without shame, but always have a plaintive plea or disingenuous thank you at the ready. Let me take your time, dear. Sorry used to be offered with contrition now it is flashed as a license to have done.
They drive a Dodge Mystake….snerkJoy just can’t move fast enough, she can’t move fast period. Its hard to move all that at all.And she is wearing a Sear’s Best blouse, they must be on their way to a dress up affair.
I will bet real money that each of them has a package that is going to some godforsaken 4th world country that will require at least 22 declarations and special forms. And the person who handles those forms is at lunch.Needle is right. If someone lets you go ahead it’s to put them in a better position to pick your pocket.
Around here, I let people go ahead of me if they have only one or two things…
And people let me go ahead if I’m the one with very little….I never think it’s just so they can stab me in the back.
Joy, on the other hand, was racing to beat the others…. but as 2Old said, racing is not really within her reach.
She DID manage to get there a few seconds before the next person reached the door…. which put her in position to have to do the one thing she hates most: Help somebody.
And yeah, the rest of the group take advantage…but who deserves it more than the woman who would, herself, gladly take advantage of everyone she meets.Poetic justice…I love to see her trapped in a courteous gesture by her own haste and greed.
And the first person in line is a little old lady. Joy should hold the door for her. However, if the fellow in the CAT hat I any sort of gentleman, he’ll switch places with Joy. (Don’t hold you breath, though.)
HAHAHA they all know Joy and Burl and how they are . So why not take advantage of it? They picked up the pace when they saw her try to get out of the car.
After all the free samples and items returned damaged Joy did ask for it.I wonder how long Burl had to sit in the hot car for?
Let us hope they will all line up in front of the the one clerk on duty, and the first one is there to pick out special issue stamps to go on birthday cards for all 23 grandchildren and insists on a different design for each, requiring the clerk to go to the safe to see what’s left. And the second one will spend fifteen minutes comparing rates and delivery option and will finally make her choice, only to stop and realize that there is such a cheap rate for printed matter and will try to convince the clerk that the package that rattles is really old magazines. Caterpillar Man has forgotten the combination to his box, has not brought an ID with him and when finally told the combination, will insist that it is the one he tried that wouldn’t work. After 20 minutes the clerk will discover he was trying the wrong box. When Joy finally reaches the counter, the three other clerks will return from their breaks. But all is not lost. While in line, she learned about the media mail scam for the first time and will tell the clerk that her 5-inch square box contains Bibles.
On every visit to the ‘ol P.O., I habitually park in one of the farthest spaces out there that’s still actually on the lot, and I enter & exit through the trusty ’ol side door……no problems……..
In our nearest PO all mail goes to boxes not street addresses. Since I’m well outside the town boundaries I don’t have to deal with that but still have to buy stamps from time to time or mail something. Lucky if I see more than 3 people in there including the PO person!

Sheesh, you guys…. where did all THAT come from?

What can I say? I avoid the post office when possible but employees at ours are very nice and patient.
