For example, the other day, I waited in a really long line to use one of the automatic stamp machines at the post office. I thought our line was going faster than the others, but didn't know why - until I got up to the front and saw that the machine wasn't working. Meaning all of the people in front of me had seen the exact same thing and just not bothered to tell those in line behind them. <br /><br />I turned around and told the people behind me it wasn't working, but funnily enough, not a single one believed me and they all proceeded to try it for themselves. Go figure!Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.com
