I don’t know why this drives me crazy, it really shouldn’t. But when people take the longest time carefully writing their name, dotting every I, crossing every T on the credit card machines at Wegmans (or wherever else has them). I know it only takes maybe another 30 seconds out of my day…but hurry the hell up! It’s like writing a check, who does that anymore if you’re not 80?

I guess it just shows how fast paced our world is now and how we need immediate gratification. And I’m a victim. I see the people in front of me bend over and sign their name and I want to smack the fake pen out of their hands. You can draw a line on that thing and you get the same result. That’s what I do…draw a line, and then it says signature accepted. The end! It doesn’t matter, so why take the time to make sure it’s perfect? And I swear I always get behind the women that practically sign their name with calligraphy. It’s Wegmans, not a wedding invitation.

This still isn’t bad as a check. But it’s getting there.
