Ironic Waiting

Isn't it ironic that when we're waiting for a store clerk or phone support person, we want them to hurry up with the other people, but then when they're working with us, we want them to take their time?

I do that all the time. I'm waiting on the phone for AOL Tech Support because I'm tired of screwing around with their online "help" screens, and wish they'd just finish with those other jerks who shouldn't be licesned to use a computer anyway, and help ME! And when I'M finally on the phone with them, I want them to patient and helpful.

Same goes for garage mechanics. "Get that piece of crap out of there and start working on MY piece of crap!"
