to rip out the old lady’s throat with my teeth. She was taking for EVER in the checkout line! “Oh, can we open up this box, before I buy it and make sure it’s not broken?” “Oh, this item WASN’T on sale?” “Well, I’ll put that back.” Look lady all I want is a newspaper for Christ’s sake! But I didn’t say it. I took a deep breath, and tried to remember that this woman was offering me a chance to practice patience. Damn patience!(shaking fist in air)
