Doesn't make you want to ...

So there I was, standing third in line this evening with some last minute shopping. Waiting for my turn with the stressed out cashiers - when a packet of soup from the guy at the front of the queue fell off the belt onto the floor right next to the couple who were second in line. So of course they quickly picked it up for him - did they hell! They just looked down at the packet, shrugged - and proceeded to put their stuff on the belt. So I waited for a moment thinking they would surely pick it up for him - but no. So in the end I made a point of going forward, picking up the packet and giving it back to the guy in front. I could have killed. But really it made me more sad than angry.

... and I bet everyone else in queue looked at you like you were from another planet huh?
Well, that's Germany folk's - but the people are really very friendly otherwise!
