It annoys me that the stores don't take 5 minutes and paint a line on the floor or hang a sign or something to indicate this.

People don't want to deal with the cashiers, they don't want to deal with the person in line in front of them at the checkout...I'm guessing life is just a constant piss off for you people eh, having to exist in society...
I don't like the word intolerance being tossed around like this. I'm not intolerant because it annoys me that other people are too oblivious or self centered to realize that they're inconveniencing alot of other people.

And it's not a big stress, it's just damn annoying. Some people need to become aware that there is an entire society of people trying to co-exist. Stop wasting my time because you don't care about yours. This goes for old geezers with 50 items and no experience with computers, to slow ass drivers going 20 under the limit and then getting offended when I tailgate, to yappy bank customers that try to have a conversation with the teller while there are 10 people in line just trying to get their money and get on with their day.
I don't need to be tolerant of these people. If they want to take life very slowly, that's fine. Just don't foist your lifestyle on me. You wanna go slow? Get the hell out of my way first.
