You were behind us in line at the Kaiser pharmacy on New Year’s Eve day, two well-heeled elderly ladies. Because hospital employees need time off for holidays like the rest of us, Kaiser had closed the other pharmacies, so the line was out the door and down the hall. The employees were busting a sweat, so the line moved quickly. One of you whined repeatedly about the wait, crackling, “I know what I’m putting on my comment card” about five times, each repetition spoken as if it was the original. Once you got to the counter, you whined to the exhausted-yet-patient employee, as if that was going to do anything but increase the wait for those behind you. Next time you’re in a long line, I hope you’re behind two people who are as obtuse and self-centered as you.
