For example if there's the standard 4-5 cars ahead of me at Mcdonalds/timmies/a&w I'll just wait as it's really no issue to me at all. I'm generally not one of those "OMG there's so much to do this morning and I woke up late and I'm leaving for work late for the 20th day in a row and now OMG every second counts on the road!!!!!" people.

So if anything sitting in line for a few mins just gives me a chance to relax and check emails/texts etc, vs parking, getting out and shutting the car off, heading in, coming back turning it back on etc to save a couple minutes.
What about the environment man? Think about all those emissions you could be cutting back on by not idling those extra minutes and shutting it down instead.
