Small things in life that gravel your ass

I was behind some gal about a month ago that searched all her pants pockets, her jacket and her purse, before dumping the entire contents of her purse on the counter, to try to roust up that 7 cents. She never did find it and ended up stepping up with the extra dime.

I was once a couple minutes into the little old lady going through this routine when I ponied up the dime (think she needed 6 cents). She was gracious about it, as I said something very polite to help more things along, which was good since I half expected her to be insulted. My wife gives me this look and I was like "life is too short to waste spending extra time standing in line to pay for freaking groceries" (or whatever it was we were buying).
