Do You Find This Rude??

When you go to the post office and you have say...8 boxes to ship......and someone is behind you and the clerk says to you...."I am just going to take care of them quick....they just have 1 package"!!!!! I find it pretty damn rude because I just stood in line behind 3 people who did not take the friggin' time (out of line) to fill out the paperwork they needed for what they were shipping and I needed to stand there holding my 8 boxes while they did their paperwork in line!!!!! Next time.....I shut the clerk down and tell her just that!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Definately rude, I sometimes will allow the person behind me to go ahead if I feel like it or I like the view better.

Maybe she's hot for you and wanted to spend some extra time with just you.

Quite unacceptable.

I'm with ecduzitgood, it should be at *your* discretion. I'll often let someone go in front of me at the supermarket or CVS or similar if I have a bunch of items or know I will take a bit and know they'll only be a minute.

FedEx for everything we do...can't beat the service. I let the USPS carry my letters only. Anything that needs to be boxed or of any real value gets FedExed.

Print the postage online, just set the items on the counter and walk away.

I keep trying to figure how the hell someone in line with one article could possibly ask some one balanceing 8 packages to go ahead. Especially if they haven't done their addressing and all beforehand. What a weak-minded and selfish POS they must be.

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
