Doing the reminder
letters at work, so I need to go buy 100 stamps. Queue up at the post office,
each passing second sapping my will to live. Finally I get to the front of the queue.
“Position 5 please” I march over. “100 second class stamps please” “umm… we are
sold out” “the post office is sold out of stamps” “yeah…. Hang on I think there
some at position 1” “ok” I look at her expecting her to walk the 3 meters and
have a look. She just looks at me. “You going to get them?” “You have to queue
up for till 1” “what?” “You need to re join the queue” “what? Can’t you just go
get the stamps” “sorry you need to re-join” I then go and re join the queue get
to the front after another soul destroying age. But there is some peasant try
to change up what look to be 50 quid in coppers and they have not counted out
the bags right. I can over hear “there’s only £4.80 in that bag and that one of
2p short. So im standing there and other tills are being called and Im having
to let people go in front of me. Finally get to till one after then tosser has recounted
their life’s savings and pissed off. “May I have 100 second class stamps
please” “im sorry we have sold out” “SHE (I say abit too loud) says you have
some” “ohh yeah I do. The are not in a book though.” “and why does that matter?
They are stamps right” “yeah” “for posting letters” “yeah” “then sell me 100”
