You Know The Whole World's Against You When...

1.) You go to your nearby clinic to visit your doctor for that cough/flu/fever. You feel terrible, and look at your watch, wondering why the hell everybody goes in for 10-15 mins.

It finally is your turn, and you enter the doctor's room. He looks at you and diagnoses you, then sends you back out to the waiting area.

You look at your watch, it's only been 2 minutes.

2.) You board a bus and it's damned crowded, so you're left standing. You're going to take the bus right to the end of its journey (to the interchange).

You eventually get packed in until you're standing at the door. The next stop comes, and everybody pushes past you to disembark from the bus. This happens for every single f***ing stop. Even the idiot who boarded the bus with you, hops up from the seat he/she greedily snatched, and pushes past you to get off the bus.

You wonder why the hell all these idiots who took the bus for only a few damned stops didn't stand the up and took your place instead.

3.) You're standing in a supermarket queue, with a packet of sweets and a carton of milk in your hands. You've got your money ready for payment with the exact amount. The people in front of you have trolleys of groceries with food that seems enough to feed a typical family of 4 for two whole weeks. The cashier deals with each and every one of them, and all of the people buy groceries worth up to more than $100 EACH.

Your sweets and milk cost only $3.

4.) You're on the bus, rushing for time to meet your friend for an appointment. By some freak chance, the bus pulls in at every single stop along the way.

A person stands at the bus-stop, refusing to board the bus, and hold a conversation with the bus driver on whether the bus you're on, goes to his desired destination.

You meet 3 such persons who pull the bus over on your journey. Each of them holds the bus for an average of 3 minutes, making for a total of 9 minutes.

A typical bus plowing along the roads at 50km/h can travel 7.5km in 9 minutes. That is roughly equivalent to a distance of 4-5 bus stops.

5.) You have an appointment with your doctor, and your appointment card says 2pm. You reach there at 1.45pm and expect to be able to be out of there in 2 minutes' time (from #1).

The bloke with the appointment at 1.45pm comes at 1.59pm, and he gets to go first before you.
