Pet Peeve #44: When people sing while waiting in line.

It is a typical morning, and I am extremely too tired to function at work. On days like that my morning is sponsored by none other than Starbucks. I do not like coffee, but I am a fan of coffee products. It is not even 8 o’clock in the morning, and I am standing in this incredibly long line at Starbucks. I am a tad bit flustered because there is another Starbucks two blocks away, but I assume everyone wanted to visit the same Starbucks as yours truly. I am in line with two eyes fighting to open, and I hear this sound. I hear the sound of someone signing. In my Stewie Griffin voice, I am thinking, “I hear singing. Who is singing”? The guy in front of me was apparently some vocal student or something, and he decided to do his warm up exercises while waiting in line.

Sidebar-This pet peeve is similar to Pet Peeve #11: When people rap or sing aloud in public places; however it is a little different. No one actually likes to wait for anything, which may explain why we pay extra money for the fastest service or product of almost everything. Therefore, people waiting in line are a little disturbed due to the wait. This pet peeve comes with a different level of pissivity.

Dude in line was going at it with the vocal warm ups. I wanted to kick him in the face and give him his coffee. No one wants to hear you sing in line, especially early in the morning. Stop doing auditions while people are waiting in line. SO RUDE! STOP IT! UGH!

Pet Peeve #32: The United States Postal Service.

OMG!!!!!!!!! I am not saying that every post office is the worst, but I will say the post offices I use are the worst. My issues are the line, the poor level of customer service and the lack of staff. Yesterday I went to the post office, and the line was at the door. I said, “Ummmmmmmmmm ok. I will return later in the day”. I returned later in the day to find the line at the door, again. I decided to visit another post office after work. I visit another post office to find 30 people in line. I stood on line for 15 minutes and the line NEVER moved. Why am I waiting in line as if I am waiting to get on the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Great Adventure. El Diablo! What bothers me the most about each post office was that they both had two people working behind the counter. Really though? Two people working and the line is at the door. It kills me because they move as if there are two people in line waiting to be served. Where is the sense of urgency? Can you work on moving the line? At times when I wait close to 30 minutes, (on a good day) they have the nerve to give me attitude. R U Serious!?! I pay taxes and your salary! Due to a few random shootings by postal workers people are scared to say something in the event a postal worker decides to go postal and kills everyone. However, I am no punk and to every horrible post office, STOP IT! UGH! And bring back the stamp machines too!
