Jean-Jacques Rousseau once said “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
To be fair though, he was never stuck in a twenty minute queue at the deli counter because some young buck couldn’t decide if he wanted the spicy chicken or the plain fillet.
Patience is a virtue, but so is hurrying the f*ck on when people are waiting.
Here’s 7 people who just need to be told.
The guy at the ATM
ARE YOU TAKING OUT A BLOODY MORTGAGE. HURRY ON.
The person in your way when you’re getting off the LUAS
So you’re at your stop and you need to get out, yet the person in your way thinks it’s fine and dandy to move as slowly as they can…. sure it’s OK, you can just walk from the next stop.
The house-mate using the bathroom in the morning
Seriously, are you having a shower or writing your will?
The game-show host
But I want to know if they win all the money and I don’t want to wait until after the break…
The people taking up the whole path
People who do this have an undying love for walking incredibly slow too.
The waiter
This is probably the worst one, because you have to pretend you don’t mind waiting ages.
These guys bring you food… if you’re impatient, these guys bring you contaminated food.
That person in front of you when you’re stuck in traffic
Inevitably, you’ll get stuck behind somebody doing 20 in the 50 zone. It’s just the way life is.
The person at the coffee shop who cant decide whether they want a low-fat mocha latté or a chai skinny foam fart
Just order, for the love of god, can you just order.
So there you have it. Seven people who just need to get on with it.
