Ihe instant photo copy machine
I was in a drug store this morning buying some nessesary item. When I went to check out there was a lady at one of those do-it-yourself digital photo reproduction machines you now find everywhere.
The lady was waiting for her print and remarked to the cashier that the sign on the machine said "Reproductions in seocnds." It was cool in the store and the machine was taking a bit longer than usual to warm up.
What got me was the lady commented to the sales clerk, "This thing is awfully slow." The clerk explained that since she was the first to use it today it sometimes took a bit longer to do the first pictures of the day.
In a huff, the lady, who was at least sixty something said, "Well it should say minutes instead of seconds!"
When I heard this comment, I looked at the sales clerk and said, "Ya know, ten years ago that lady would have had to wait at least three days for an enlargment, and she is complaining about a few more seconds, Ya know what I mean?"
The clerk looked at me, smiled, and said, Yeah, I know."
How spoiled can we get?

Someone once did some sort of study on how much time a 'normal' person waits for something (or in line) during a life time. How stupid is that?

one thing I've learned is patience. Ain't gonna make things go any faster (especially when dealing with the government and photo copier machines!).
Wonder how fast she is in the hmmm nevermind!!

What a sad, selfish, 'me, me, me' and 'now, now, now' modern day species we have truly become! And I shudder to think what the young children of today will become with examples to follow like this one.
