We've all been in a grocery store (insert: Target, department store, etc) line where we have run in for an item or two and as we get in line the person in front of us has purchased enough to feed a small country. This happens to me more often than not as I often need just one thing to complete a recipe. As I stand there I can't help but think, 'please, just let them say "oh you go ahead, you have SO much less than I do,"' but alas they rarely do. So patiently I wait as the scanner clicks for what seems like over an hour as the seemingly endless supply of sustenance crosses the register barrier.
However, when I am sitting at a red light and don't immediately tap the gas the moment the light flickers to green people get angry; honking, fingers and yelling may ensue as I move my foot anxiously from the brake to the gas. Drivers swerve across lanes to pass each other, going well over the speed limit (or in Massachusetts just above the flow of traffic).
Here is what I want to know: how do those people handle the doldrums of waiting in a store line?
