Going through the drive thru bank. 1. The gal that positions her car to block all the lanes so that she can get to the next open one. 2. The guy that seems like he must be applying for a Mortgage- sends the tube back 3 times and then argues with the Teller for 10 minutes while filling out, what appears to be a stack of paperwork!!! 3. The gal that gets her paperwork back and takes 10 minutes to dig through her purse,counts the money 12 times, fills out more paperwork, disciplines the 3 kids in the back seat, and finally uses the rear view mirror to apply some fresh lipstick all while keeping the lane closed. All the while you have to pee so bad your sweating but thought you'd make a quick stop at the bank because it would only take 1 minute... Matt,
Just wanted to share a diatribe with you. Going through the drive thru bank.

1. The gal that positions her car to block all the lanes so that she can get to the next open one.

All the while you have to pee so bad your sweating but thought you’d make a quick stop at the bank because it would only take 1 minute…

I really related to and enjoyed the Mailbox one. I'm sending this to you as I just sent off my ASM article. I know you probably want to wrap this up and I was late responding to your email. Let me know if you received it. Thanks, Don Matt,

"Fine for pulling forward to the farthest available mailbox:none. Fine for not pulling to the farthest available mailbox:eternal shunning and contempt from the line of individuals behind you." BTW, it is perfectly acceptable to pull to the first box IF AND ONLY IF there is nobody behind you, and no one approaching.

But, how do you account for the variables involved? And what are the reprocutions of unfullfilment of the expectation? I mean, what are the social guidlines for an unearned thank you...

Do they have a trade-up program at Wal*Mart? "How much can I get for this used friend?" "Pretty ragged, are you interested in trading up for a new friend, looking for a better used friend, or just looking to get rid of an unnecessary friend?" "I was told I need better friends for my new year's resolution." "We happen to be running a sale on new 'resolution support' models this week. I'm sure I can cut you a good deal, and give you a good value for this loser." Actually, that sounds a lot like internet dating.... disturbing.... Where exactly does one go to GET better friends?

“How much can I get for this used friend?”

“Pretty ragged, are you interested in trading up for a new friend, looking for a better used friend, or just looking to get rid of an unnecessary friend?”

“I was told I need better friends for my new year’s resolution.”

“We happen to be running a sale on new ‘resolution support’ models this week. I’m sure I can cut you a good deal, and give you a good value for this loser.”

Actually, that sounds a lot like internet dating…. disturbing….

Guy-space-guy-space-guy-space-guy? Also, my one friend and I, based on the movie, always joke about whether or not a QS (Queer Seat) is required. For instance, 300...no QS required. The Proposal...definite QS. Julie and Julia...15 QS's. OK, what if there are like 4 guys? Guy-space-guy-space-guy-space-guy?
