no giving way

My favorite thing to do at banks is tuning in to the activities going on nearby. I mean what else is there to do? Stare at the walls? At least that's one source of mundane entertainment while the bank officers move at snail's pace.

Yesterday there was this lady who just would not stop hounding the information desk staff about how to invest in gold coins. He handed her a stack of brochures but no, she just kept on pelting him with questions while the line behind her grew longer and more impatient. Luckily I wasn't in her line!

The officer was starting to show his impatience when her cell phone rang! You could almost hear a universal sigh of relief when she reluctantly stepped aside to pick it up! Finally the line was moving again... at least for the length of her call!
