Patience Is A Virtue

While standing at the ATM today waiting for some idiot to finish up, I realized just how much of a virtue patience really is. I have very little patience and it gets worse when I'm having a bad day. So my advice for anyone like me to try to avoid any place where there are lines and you are not having a good day. Don't go to the bank or the ATM, because it is inevitable that there will be someone there who will take twenty minutes at the window or at the machine. It does matter how long you stand there and look at the receipt, the amount of money you have in the bank won't change. You can't make it magically appear in your bank account, please just keep it moving; there are five people behind you who would like to get there cash or make a deposit and get on with their day. Another place to avoid is the post office on a Saturday, this is the day when working people do their mailing. Going to the post office should be a fairly easy task, yet somehow someone always manages to turn it into a chore. Maybe its the little old lady that ask a thousand questions when all she needed was a money order or some stamps. Perhaps it's someone who has twenty packages and can't decide how to mail them. Whatever the reason, someone always manages to prolong the task. Also, there's the grocery store, there's bound to be someone who wants to pay in change, or God forbid write a check!! Are you serious, who writes checks anymore. Ever heard of debit card?/Then, of course, there is the dreaded DMV. If you have no patience you should try your best to stay away from this place. The DMV is hell for a person with no patience, between the lines and the rude workers, it could lead to a massive blowup. All in all I believe it is best to stay away from these places as long as you can, of course, at some point you will have to visit them Some more often than others, but please try not to do it when you are having a bad day. That fish or bread you want is not worth the anger or annoyance you will feel.
