June 16th, 2009 by Sipora | Filed under kvetching.So I went to Banana Republic today after work to buy a nice shirt for myself. I pick out the shirt, walk up to the cash register, and there is a guy getting rung up. Okay, fine. I can wait. Now there’s no one else waiting…or so I thought. There was one woman standing very far back. There’s no way she is waiting on line. She’s too far away. Probably waiting for the guy getting rung up. So I walk up in front of the counter and wait. And what happens….! In a nice, bitchy tone that woman who was standing like ten feet away was like- um I’m waiting on line. Pleeeaaassseee. Okay, fine. I’ll stand behind you waaaaaaaaay over here. Then what happened?? Another dude gets on the line and is totally confused by these two women standing way far from the counter. Finally the cashier calls “next” and this dumb woman goes up to the counter. I rolled my eyes. I hate, I repeat, hate people that can’t stand on a line properly. Why couldn’t she have stood closer to the cashier so me and the other poor guy waiting on line knew she too was on line. Idiot. I hate people like her. And I’ve seen many in my time.





When Krishnamurti revealed his secret of inner peace, he leaned over toward his audience and said in a soft, almost shy voice, “You see, I don’t mind what happens.” That is the secret of happiness. I am working on that. I see that you should consider that path as well.
