No post yesterday as nothing unusual happened to annoy me. Yes, Marriott screwed up my hotel reservation but I wouldn't characterize that as unusual or unique.
However, this morning I went to the bank before hours to deposit a check. Now you have to picture exactly how this went down. The ATM machine at this bank is inside the main entrance and the main entrance is ordinarily locked. The door is unlocked by sliding your ATM card through a card reader just outside the door. So this is what happened in rapid sequence. I slide my card through the reader and the door unlocks. It usually takes about a half a second between the time I unlock the door and when I actually open the door, but before that half a second elapses, a guy saunters up to the door and walks in and goes right up to the ATM machine! So not only does he get to enter the bank under false pretenses (using my ATM card), he exploits my generosity even further by cutting in front of me at the ATM machine! Ordinarily I might have said something, but the guy was bigger than me and since seeing all those excerpts of that creepy guy in "No Country for Old Men" on the Oscars, I thought it would be better to keep a low profile. You never know when you're going to encounter a psychotic (and impolite) killer at the ATM machine.
