Why, oh why is it so difficult to get the most basic of tasks done in our city/country? I had a simple requirement- go to the Post Office and get a cheque for a Recurring Deposit that had matured. Was there for two hours and still it did not materialize.
Why? First, there was a queue of 10, all phursat mein people. Secondly, the cashier's computer suddenly conked off for 1/2 hour. Thirdly, the next 2-3 people ahead of me again wanted to chat and chat about options with the guy. Fourthly, he finally said'now it's lunch time- just leave your documents and go', and things'll be ready when you're back. On seeing my form he says' Oh, you're in the wrong queue' The R.D. queue is 4 chairs down the line...and, believe me, I'd asked two people whether this was the right queue.
Off to the R.D. queue- it had another 20 people there....so, I said 'better luck next time', smiled to myself and left.
