To think if you are being served in a post office & there is a queue behind you, you don't hog the cashier by writing the addresses on 3 envelopes?

Just seen this in my local post office. Ignorant idiot.

It could have been a return address on the back for special delivery, or he needed the address from the cashier for some reason. Yabu.

The world must be a very stressful place for you.

Hog the what?? Im on iphone and it cuts off the end of the title.

Hogs the what? I need to know so i can decide if yabu or not

Hog the cashier Youre

I hope you're not hogging your iphone!

full title To think if you are being served in a post office & there is a queue behind you, you don't hog the cashier by writing the addresses on 3 envelopes?

And I think it depends on why they were writing it there, so like MsBucket said

I'm very much hogging the iphone- im sick and it hurts too much to sit up and watch tv so im MNing with one eye open.

As for OP. the cashier is there to serve people- this person was a 'people' needing served. His transaction took longer than you would like. Diddums- life doesnt run to your schedule.

YABU

Next!

hahaha sorry

Next!

got me

I was chanelling the post office cashier!

'Cashier number 3 please'

This annoys me too, OP, so you are not alone!

bloody queue at morrisons (local) yesterday, toddler 'helping' mum pass each item individually to shop assistant.

I mean really! no, I don't think it's cute and you are clearly the centre of your own universe without a thought to other people.

Ffs yanbu! Yes but some people don't observe other people around them.

Breath, tis the season...

Well, if there was no reason why he couldn't have written the addresses before he got there, I can understand you being irritated. It does seem a strange way to go about things.

I don't think YABU, at least you're grumbling on here, not huffing and puffing and blowing up at the cashier hogger.

I know it's AIBU but why do some think that every post warrants a snippy reply? The OP is a real person you know, whether being U or not. And anyway it makes the baby Jesus cry.

This would annoy me a bit. I would inwardly roll my eyes, but then some people get annoyed by elderly people being slow, and slow is slow whatever the reason so I just stay calm.

That made no sense.

The upshot is, stay calm.

YANBU, some people are very dimwitted. And no, I don't think it likely that it was for special delivery or whatever, as I'm equally sure that the OP, or indeed any of us, can tell the difference between someone doing that and someone addressing envelopes because they didn't think to do that at home.

YADNBU. It is irritating and annoying and ALWAYS happens when you're in a hurry!!!

I'd be sighing to show my displeasure.

YANBU.

In December, no less.

YABU going into a Post Office 3 weeks before Christmas and expecting no queues or faffing.
And you are well nosy.

I got pretty peeved at the man in front of me at the train station the other day. One of the self-service machines was out of order and there was a longer queue than normal for the other one, so I joined the queue for the cashiers desk instead in the hope that it would shave precious seconds off waiting around on the platform for my train to arrive my journey. There were two windows open. Bloke in front of me bought his tickets, then lifted his briefcase up, opened it onto the counter and faffed about putting his tickets in a specific place and shuffling papers, before finally closing his briefcase and buggering off to let the next person get served. If he'd moved across by a side-step, he could've done the briefcase bit in front of the unopened window and let other people get served. Briefcase wanker. Have to admit it did piss me off.

On a related subject, I dislike getting onto a long distance train and having to stand in the aisle for several minutes, along with a queue of other people trying to get to their booked seats, whilst some selfish bugger spends ages hogging the aisle space taking his/her coat off, folding it up just so, laying out refreshments on the table, putting things up on the luggage rack at snail-like speed, taking them down again and rummaging for reading matter.

Just sit in your s*dding seat and rearrange yourself when everybody else has sat down! I told somebody off for this a couple of weeks ago. The people standing behind me said, "hear, hear!"
