Earlier today I had the pleasure of helping an individual at the window I had never seen before.
As I open the window and asked "what can I get you"?, I'm greeted with the ever so pleasant, newly discovered, internationally known, just one minute sign. This is represented by the index finger being held up vertically with a cell phone attached to the ear. Somehow, he being in his own beautiful world doesn't care about the fact that there is a car waiting behind him or the fact that I'm sitting there staring at him in disbelief. He has a beautiful expensive car, very nicely dressed, very clean interior, and appears to have life completely under control. Unfortunately, he is incapable of handling a simple transaction without messing up other peoples lives in the meantime. As I stare at him for about a minute every thought in the world has now gone through my mind. If something this easy takes him so long what happens if he is forced to decide that best way to save a victim in a car accident if he is the first on the scene. I know I don't want my lives in his hands. After finally finishing with this guy the next car pulls up and tells me what they want before I can even open the window. Wow, talk about opposite ends of the spectrum in back to back cars. This time the car is a junker, messy inside, and the driver is needing all sorts of personal attention to detail. However she knows what she wants and took care of it in a very efficient manner. I think I definately want her first to the scene if my lifes at stake, then I realize, maybe she'd solve everything short term but leave me messed up because she made the incorrect decision, while the other guy took his time and made sure everything was done correct. For every decision in life there is an argument somehow for each method used to solve it. My mind went through countless arguments between which person I wanted to be on the scene and all I came up with in the end was I sure do hope a paramedic gets there before either one touches me.
