I get that humans are social creatures, but the overly socal ones annoy the hell out of me.
I was in town a few days ago, at the clothing alterations/repair shop picking up a couple of items I'd dropped off earlier in the week.
It's a wee shop, and as such they've a sign in the window saying "One customer only at a time". Which is fair enough, I have no problem with that.
There was a wee wumman inside already so I stood outside to wait my turn.
A couple of minutes pass. She's talking to the shop owner.
A couple more minutes pass. She's still talking.
A couple more minutes pass. She's heading to the door. She almost has her hand on the door handle, then she turns back and starts talking again.
What the actual fuck?!?
We're in the midst of a global pandemic! We're supposed to minimise contact with other people, and yet you're standing in a shop gabbing away nineteen to the dozen?
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.
