So I'm at the pharmacy--that shining beacon to the inefficiency and inadequacy of the American health care system, we're no. 18, we're no. 18!!!!--waiting at 7 pm last night for medication that was supposed to be ready at 3:30. I hear someone behind the counter say my last name so I move up to the line. A few seconds later, some dude who was perusing the "family planning" section comes up to me and says he was in line before me. I am just too disgusted with the process to argue with him, so I step aside.
In doing so, I notice that he is holding what can best be described as a "mutual self-help" device a man would use with a lady, and vice versa. It's not something I'd buy in a pharmacy full of coughing, impatient, mostly weird people, but hey, maybe he's horned up and has the wife ready to go at home. I dunno.
So we're standing there for a few more seconds when he turns to me.
"You ever try this?" he says and points to it.
I briefly thought about telling him about my quick trigger reputation and how I just don't have time for something like that, or quite frankly the need. Readiness = not an issue for me. I also thought about yelling "WHAT THE **** IS WRONG WITH YOU ASKING ME THAT?!" but chose restraint.
"No," I said. "But good luck to you."
Then thankfully my name was called and I was outta there. Seriously, what the **** is wrong with people? Next time just prattle on about the rain coming tomorrow and how we had no fall. ****.
