Ok so I have to share this! I just went to Union Bank of California in Ontario for the billing department. As I stood in the merchant line I happened to glance at the customer line and saw a very stressed out woman come into the line. She impatiently switched legs that she was leaning on and finally got so frustrated that she walked around the line to the first teller and seemed to ask for a manager of somesort. Either way very frustrating. I thought to myself "wow, I can't believe this lady thinks that her problem is much more important then the other people in line. How selfish of her." Now this is only important due to the fact of what I saw as I walked out of the bank. So either way, she was complaining that a bank wire she made over the phone last night didn't post on the account or even show as transferred but she no longer had the funds in the original account... yada yada yada...
So as I'm standing in my line I'm waiting and get to the merchant teller who's worried about the dirty looks she's getting for helping the merchant line before the customer line. I made some jokes about the attitudes I've had to deal with in my line of work (tech support) and told her to have a great day and walked out to see the aggressive lady walking to her car. Now here's where I had to laugh out loud! She had a nice bmw all shiny and pretty parked in a handicapped space (she by no means was handicapped!), and on her license plate it said (
*heart*slf1st)! how fitting is that?!?! Love Self First! I couldn't help but walk by and voice my opinion on the subject out loud. Maybe she heard, maybe she didn't. Either way I still can't believe there are people out there like that. Miserable, self-focused and never at ease. I would hate to live like that.
