Annoyed At: USPS Lines

It annoys me when…

You can't see them all, but trust me, there are over 40 packages behind that lady in green.

The line at the self-serve station at the Post Office is longer and slower than the line at the counter. Who would have ever believed that a machine could take longer than humans? And we’re talking humans employed by the USPS here, not your ordinary more-than-one-speed humans. It didn’t help that one lady had over 40 packages to mail. The man standing in front of me in line came in for stamps. He told me, “See that woman leaving there? I walked in right behind her. I’d be done by now if I’d gone to the counter like she did.” Ten minutes later the lady with all the packages was still entering zip codes into the machine.
