Have you been behind the guy buying lottery tickets?

I know I have joked about this many times, but it just happened to me again. All I wanted was a small bottle of Scotch, so I could have some with my yogurt, and live to be 107. The fella in front of me had a six-pack of beer, and I thought I was safe. Then it happened. "I'll have one Number 17, and three Number 6. Wait. Two Number 6 and two Number 12. I was glad he was finally done. I shuffled politely, staring at my work boots. "And a Number 3, and a Number 10." I dozed, a Grateful Dead song playing in my head. Eventually, I was able to buy my small bottle. Have you ever been in line behind someone buying Lottery Tickets?

Our stores have kiosks that sell them now, so I rarely see people buying them in line anymore.

Yes. Most of them will politely step to the side while they scratch their tickets so the line doesn't stop moving... I'm sorry you get caught behind a rude person. I would have asked them to let me reach the register while they scratched their tickets off and gone on about my day.
