While I'm on the topic of things at the gas station that piss me off, I also hate it when people in front of me get money orders. I know it's terribly convenient and the bank isn't always open, but gottamn that takes forever!
Never fails. You'll be in a rush in the morning or something and get in line to buy like a Coke or something, and the person in front of you has to write a check, then proceed to get cash back and use that to buy phone cards or whatever, then they'll then proceed to use the change to buy lotto tickets. And they want to do a separate damn transaction for each one.
How hard is it to say, "I need this, this, and this" and pay for it? I think you should have to wait in line all over again if you want another transaction; this isn't king of the hill we're playing here.

Why are you in such a damn hurry? Next time get in line first.
I don't think you can buy lotto with a check.
Better question is, who the still uses checks? I mean damn, how about trading with a goat?
I got places to be, dammit!
I really doubt anyone cares if you have to wait or not. They are not on your clock.
I hate slow people. Hate them at left turn lights, on escalators, at the bank, at the cashier line.
Then why are you posting? Move on!!!
And then you wonder why you orgasm in two minutes.
That makes sense.
I have an idea that would save them a few dollars: don't buy them at all.
OR....go to the back of line!
Amen, but that is a tale best left for another rant...
I know most people don't give a damn about MY time.
Maybe I'm the fool for actually trying to be considerate in these situations and proceed in a timely, efficient manner.
I mean I don't expect people to rush, but if I can finish whatever you were doing in 1/4 of the time, you're just an asshole. Almost 10 minutes at an ATM (this happened to me 2 weeks ago)? Really?
You are an asshole for being so inpatient.
Nah I haven't been to the hospital in years, tbh.
As for the checks, I don't mind you use them, but at the very least, have you check ready before the transaction starts. I hate when the cashier finishes, and then the person reaches for his checkbook. And yes, I said his because women tend to be ready with that checkbook made out to the store and a signature, just waiting on the total.
And coming from someone who had a recent rant about single people going through busy drive thrus, come on man. I get annoyed at long lines (especially when my kids are ready to go home after a trip to the store to pick up groceries for the week), but the person just beat you in line, deal with it.
This is the same thing the Nazi's would've said.
(Please keep in mind that once a good Dex rant start, they are rarely very sensible).

What about when you stop to get gas, and the little latch mechanism on the nozzle is broken so you can't just set it and forget it? Then you have to stand there and hold it the whole time like a sucker.
I'm amazed my whole day isn't spent at the gas station.
Everyone ahead of you is a ing slow poke moron, everyone behind you is a crazed, hyper-caffeinated lunatic.
It's George Carlinism at work.
You're correct.
Seriously. Anyone still using checks for anything other than rent needs to get with the ing program.Better question is, who the still uses checks? I mean damn, how about trading with a goat?
I bought a card and a several sets of markers yesterday at HEB. I paid for each separately because the card was for me and the markers were for work. My boss didn't have to see that I bought a card.
If you were a guido looking Mexican buying some car behind me, I apologize I held you up so ing long. It was like 30 damn seconds.
Dex, it's fate telling you NOT to pay convenience store prices for a Coke. Mother of God, you can almost buy a six pack of 20 ozers for the price of one out of the cooler.
dey only fo out-patient care, fool
I always pick the damn wrong line. THere is no such thing as an express checkout.
THere will be Old Miss Daisy having trouble with her credit/debit card. Can't see the pinpad numbers, swiping her card backwards, trying to find a few coupons, etc. ALWAYS HAPPENS.
Then there will be mrs. "that was on sale, why is it ringing up as blah blah" As a courtesy clerk goes back and checks the price. Then realizes it was a certain one and has to go back again to get it.
