I've long noticed that I can walk into a store and there is nobody in there and there aren't any customers in the checkouts. By the time I get what I want and go to the checkouts, it seems like every checkout is stacked 3 deep or nobody is staffing the checkouts. Whichever line I choose seems to be the slowest.

At gas stations I went with paying at the pump because I would always be standing in line for ten minutes if I went inside to pay. I try to avoid the times of day that are normally busy but that doesn't work either.

I started going to a grocery store at 6 AM on Sunday. There wouldn't be any cars in the parking lot when I got there but the checkouts would have lines by the time I got there. I would go there about every 3 weeks. The same young lady worked there Sundays. I asked her if it was busy every Sunday. She said it usually wasn't busy at all until after some church services around 9 AM except for when I came in. She said after I leave, it gets dead again.

I was watching a trucking video on YouTube. The driver goes in to get coffee and something to eat. There was nobody at the checkouts until he got his coffee and went to get food. There was nobody there to serve the food so he goes and waits at the checkout to order food. The line he was in wasn't moving and it reminded me of my experiences.

Dose this happen to anyone else?
 
I know the feeling. You know how many times I've gone into an empty house, picked out the things I liked and by the time I'm ready to leave, there's a whole family there, yelling and screaming and shit?

It's crazy.

Stop hanging out for 3 hours in 7-11s .
 
Those are NPCs and you live in a simulation like the matrix, you probably are not truely conscious but a complex algorithm that is pretty close
 
seems like everywhere i go it suddenly gets crowded.

especially surfing
 
This is why I carry binoculars everywhere I go. Before I enter any public building I scope it out to make sure theres no line ups.

I also like to track my poops down the toilet

You know what else I hate even more than a line? The one person line. That fucking shithead who has like 50 questions for the simpleton at the register, a butt load of cupons for shit that isn't even in their cart, and a return for an item that is two months old.
 
nah man, i'm a sherdogger.
which means that when i show up at a place, all the boise dimes start getting wet and everyone else moves to the side to let me do what i need to do.
i thought this happened with every other sherdogger as well. guess not.,

So CVS everytime you go.
 
Maybe you're living in the Truman Show
 
ATMs

every time i pull into the parking lot of the closed bank to use the ATM,s i see a whole bunch of cars pulling in before me
these days, people take forever at the ATM, depositing cash, checks, making transfers, etc....i wish the ATM was only for cash withdrawals....such a long wait these days

if you get stuck behind a central american lady at the ATM, forget about it...she will be checking balances on 5 diff accounts, transfering money between them., making multiple check and cash deposits, etc..
 
This used to happen to me all the time when I was a kid going into the adult store to pick up some porn...

I remember being stoked driving up and seeing no cars around, whole place to myself without feeling awkward..

As soon as I would walk in and start browsing around, I swear in walks like four or five old ugly fuckers...

I was only like 18-19 at the time and these guys would range around 40s-50s...

Be trying to decide on which VHS to purchase by the cover and some old dude walking by saying,

"Those are some good ones kid".

The lady that wants to pay with a check at the self checkout line.....

This is the right answer. How long are you shopping for groceries that customers can come on after you, pick up everything they need, and get to the register before you?

Furthermore, enough customers to make it a long wait in line?

And it’s usually a retired or unemployed person who has decided the best time to do his weekly shop is on a Saturday or at 1pm on a weekday. You can do your shopping at 3pm on a Thursday, what are you doing here now while I’m trying to get something done in my lunch break?

You have to remember TS is an elderly gentlemen. He needs to take his time
 
I went to the DMV to renew my license this week. I was 2nd in line and there were 2 workers. It still took an hr before I could pay my $40 and leave... by then there were about 20 poor fuckers waiting in line.

Damn lady behind the desk was answering her personal phone laughing and looking at the 1st customers Facebook together
 
They've literally photographed everything, haven't they? This was just hanging out online, wasn't it?

I think it was titled "Curious man with binculars looks down toilet" or something.

I couldnt find a man looking through a telescope in to a toilet, so we still have work to do.
