random lunchtime thoughts...

  • Why do people always act so surprised when someone does the right thing?  I went to the Post Office on lunch because I needed something postmarked for today.  I had 46 cents.  I go inside and the the guy says it's 41 cents, I was like "Yeah, I know, I didn't have a nickel."  He's like "Ok, I'll take care of it." He didn't give me my 5 cents in change.  I thought it was odd, but whatever, it's only 5 cents.  I go out to the car and start driving down the street and realize one of the dimes is still in the tray in my car.  CRAP! So I turned around and went back to pay them.  The guy basically let me have the stamp for 36 cents.  But I felt wrong about it.  So I go back and he's in the back, but I tell the lady at the counter how I just bought a stamp and I thought I gave the guy 46 cents, but only gave him 36 and handed her the dime.  She thanked me way too much.  I was only giving them what I owed them.  Weird.
  • Why is it when you go through a drive-thru restaurant and you pay them, they give you your change and immediately want to hand you your drink and then your food, never giving you a chance to put anything down? I only have two hands people.  Seriously.  Let me shove the change into my wallet real quick, or the very least, into the tray in my console.  And when you hand me a couple of drinks, give me 2 seconds to set them down before shoving a bag of food into my car window.  And for crying out loud, don't act annoyed that I don't take the bag from you immediately because I am setting the drinks down.
