Earlier in the week I had to go to Manchester to pick up my new contacts. I left from work, so took the highway to get to old Match-Vegas. There is a toll on the way and I had made sure that I had my 75 cents all ready to throw into the change basket.
At the toll booths, there is one "Exact Change" lane on the very left hand side. There are two booths with attendants on the very right hand side. And, there are 3 "Easy Pass" booths in the middle. I was going for the very left hand booth, when someone decided they were in a bigger hurry than I was and cut me off.
OK, fine, I was in a good mood so I didn't even give him a finger. However, once he got to the basket, I started cussing him. He must have had his 75 cents in dimes and nickles (and maybe some pennies). He would toss in one coin, wait for it to be "eaten", toss in another coin, wait, etc etc etc.
Instead of breezing thru the exact change lane in about 20 seconds (for both of us), I sat there for almost a minute behind the guy. Now this guy could have gone to either one of the booths with the attendants - which were empty the whole time - and saved both of us some aggravation. But noooo, he apparently was just dying to tick someone off that day.
He succeeded - hope you had a great day asshole!
Oh, I could say something, but I won't, seeing as how your mood is.
Hope things picked up after that. BTW, how are the new contacts working out?

Why is my name coming out "Wichi"? Had to add the "Dude" back in. Hmmmm.

Your vehicle is big, but it isn't old and ugly; so you couldn't just push the other vehicle from here to next week, could you? (If you had your own ERV, you could scare the peewadden out of him with the claxton!)

WD - New contacts are the same as the old contacts.
Cop Car - My vehicle is not that large, just a smaller, mid-size SUV and the other vehicle was bigger than me. The claxton probably would have made him drop his money all over the road and I would still be sitting there waiting for him to find it!
Bid - I can only hope!
