A Thinkin' Post

(This post is for Walter.)
I've been thinking a lot lately about the whole Tiger Woods issue (because people everywhere, tv and at work, won't quit talking about it), and I've come to a few conclusions.
1. He wasn't doing 35mph when he hit that hydrant. It takes a LOT more force than that to do the damage he did (destroyed) much less the injuries he received.
2. If that was me or you, we'd gone to jail straight from the hospital.
3. His wife HAS to be p*d right about now.
4. He has left so many women mad it's doubtful he'll have a "normal" marriage ever again, if he ever finds someone else.
5. Everyone needs to shut the **** up about it, so zip I go!

Ok, on to other things.
I have decided to compile a list of things NOT to do to the poor cashier at the checkout, for his/her sanity, to get you out quicker, and to keep the person behind you from getting mad at you. I'll start, and please add in comments!
1. Unfold your money BEFORE you check out! You're not two years old, the cashier can't just put your balled-up money in the drawer! Save them some time, and you too while they make you wait!
2. Have your money out or at least easily accessible! No one wants to see everything you have in your purse!
3. Don't take your kids grocery shopping or to the convenience store. The last thing they want to hear is your screaming kids whining and moaning because they want the candy bar.
4. Don't gripe about the sugar in gum and then give them some sugary gummy thing. Way much more sugar! You only make yourself look stupid. TRUST ME. Then again, it's comical too...
5. Don't yell at the person making your lunch or coffee. The end result will only be you waiting longer, if you even get served at all.
6. Don't get all fussy at the checkout line. If you think the price is wrong, fine. But not on every single item.
7. Oh and the "Less than 7 items" line means just THAT. It doesn't mean APPROXIMATELY 7 (when it's really 15), it means LESS for pete's sake!
8. Don't breathe on the cashier. They deal with enough sick people. They can't afford to take sick days. Give them a break.
9. Grab that old lady's door for her. She can't help it she's not able to keep up with you, show her some common courtesy.
10. And gentlemen, don't hit on the cashier. You're liable to get clocked! She really doesn't like you like that. You're just another customer of hers. Marriage propositions are only liable to get you thrown out of the store altogether by her boss!

Ok folks, what did I forget? We've all worked those awful jobs before, and been behind an idiot in line. What's the worst you've seen?
And dear Lin, if you read this, NO COMMENT FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY! ROFL!!
