This is not the life I ordered.
That cashier in the grocery store or coffeeshop? Her goal is not to ruin your day by making you wait an entire (gasp!) minute to buy your coffee or frozen pizza. Her goal is to help the customer that she is with now, and yes - sweet little old ladies that need things done a little bit louder and slower are legally allowed to be in *your* store. Keep up your fucking attitude and how you will deal with life at that age will be a moot point.
Seriously, is there some entity that goes around chopping off body parts of someone that is running late? Why is everyone freaking the fuck out at the prospect of waiting in line, or taking a couple of minutes to get something done right? Yes, there are times that waiting in a crowd or standing that long on my feet would be an issue for me (as several of my poor friends and family know). Hey, maybe now is not the time to stop and pick up my caffiene fix, or whatever it is that I was planning on getting from the store.
I just can't help but feel that at least some of the "free floating anxiety" (read, asshattery) could be resolved if people would just take a deep breath, ask themselves if this is something that is really worth being such a douche over, or even take some responsibility for their own time-management and leave the house five minutes earlier.

Prior Planning Prevent Piss-Poor Performance.
It's yet anothe rmanifestation of entitlement attitude and alck of self-disciplne. People can't be bothered to plan ahead, make sure they have time to accomplish things, so they get all pissed off when they run late because of things that could reasonably have been predicted.
