Waiting in Line

I have noticed that there are two types of people who wait in long lines. The people who make the effort to make sure that they are going to get through the line in the shortest amount of time and the people who are causing the line to move slowly in the first place. Example one:

At an airport security makes it very clear while you are in line that laptops must be removed from any bags and placed in a separate bin before going through the x-ray machine. Some people, those of us who are intelligent take a few seconds to make sure that our laptop is out and ready to go in a separate bin when we get to 

the front of the line. THEN there are people who get to the line and are in complete shock that they have to put the laptop in a separate bin. These are the dummies who couldn't read the million signs throughout the line or somehow didn't hear the security staff repeatedly mention it. Now I have to wait for these people to rummage through their things pull out the laptop. Reorganize the stuff in their bag that they had to move around - meanwhile their are a dozen people who are ready to go just waiting behind them.

And its not just the laptops either. Take your fricking shoes off while you are in line. Why do you want to wait until you are in the front of the line to take off your shoes in order to get pass security. slip those puppies off while you are standing in line. And if you are walking around in sandals or flip flops and dont want to stand or walk around barefoot - TOO BAD!!! Join the rest of us in the twenty-first century and wear socks with shoes. This isn't biblical times anymore - get some up to date footwear!

p.s. this post also applies to people who write checks or pay with credit card and then rummage to find their ID. Have that crap ready people c'mon. Help the rest of us in line out by being prepared.
