Bands like The Temptations and the O'Jays did a lot of feel good music but they also did a lot of social commentary which unfortunately still applies today.

When your script in Linux doesn’t do what you want it to do.

But then you realize you are the reason why.

Going to the supermarket. I normally use the self checkout, but when I have a coupons or vouchers for something free, I'll go the express line.  So, approaching the express line from one direction, making eye contact with the 'little old lady' coming from the other direction.  She is going to get there before me, she probably moves faster than she has in the last 20 years to get there.

Then once she gets there, she has more than the 12 items they allow. She pulls them out of the cart as slow as possible. Talks to the cashier when she is scanning. Seemingly every other item asks to make sure she is getting the right price (Are those bananas really that expensive?)  Then when the girl is done checking her out and tells here the amount....she brings her purse up on the little ledge, unzips it, starts digging through it...pulls out a wallet...opens the wallet....asks the cashier again how much it is....then opens the wallet and pulls out cash...then opens up the change purse...starts counting out dimes, nickels, and pennies...gives the money to the cashier....the cashier tells her she didn't give her the right amount....so the little old lady asks again ( for the 3rd or 4th time what the amount is), after hearing it there is 5 seconds of silence, she then counts out the correct amount of change.  The cashier gives her the receipt..but the little old lady doesn't move so my order of 4 things can start, she stares at the receipt....asking another question about it, questions the price of something AFTER she has finished the checkout (if there is a mistake at this point, please move along to the customer service desk the cashier cannot help you with it)....then proceeds to again not get out of the way...puts her purse back up on the ledge, carefully folds the receipt...places it in some deep dark area of her purse that takes here 20 seconds to find....and then FINALLY moves along.

So yeah, make SURE you get to that checkout line before me....heaven forbid you have to wait an extra 30-45 seconds for me to complete my entire transaction.....but once you get there first, make sure you show you have NO CONCERN at all for anyone other than yourself while I wait 5-10 minutes for you to buy your veggies, candy bars, and 5 different types of cat treats.

Then on the way out, 1 spot away from me the retired-looking guy thinks his pickup truck is so important and so valuable that he parks it sideways across 3 spots, seeing him get out notice a spot on it and starts rubbing it with his thumb to make sure not only does everyone notice how wonderful and special his pickup truck it, but he has to make sure no one see is with even a spec of dirt on it.

Its frustrating how a simple trip the the grocery store can get me frustrated with other people so much.
