Today after a massage appointment, I ventured down to the bank...per usual. Most get frustrated when a bank does not have a drive through, but I personally like the one on one with the tellers (It's just good business networking to me)...And I have grown very fond of them. So as usual I pulled up in the parking circle (but with it being a friday I was expecting the worst as far as business). Not totally thinking that many people have a three day weekend...the circle was empty and I didn't have to drive minutes around waiting for someone to leave. Well empty for all but the ONE other vehicle.
I walked in, filled out my deposit slip, and waited my turn behind the (what appeared to be) only other person parked in the circle. I began to think...peered up at the clock, tick, tick, tick...'man this guy is really tall...his belt goes up to the top of the counter...which in the banking world is very high for their protection, he has to be over 6'5"'...tick, tick, tick....'man this is taking forever!'....tick, tick, tick...20+ minutes later I began to get tired of waiting when finally after 32 minutes to be exact, he was done. I began to become a little annoyed by his "Hope you all have a great weekend" and not the "I'm sorry that took so long" grimace.
Finally it was my turn to deposit my money and the only other time I'm wishing in my head there was a drive through. With the obvious annoyed look on my face I exclaimed "this transaction should be a lot less complicated then the last." Only for the only possible explanation for the entire circumstance came dribbling out of her mouth (what seemed like literally), "He plays for the Washington Wizards!"
Suddenly the Range Rover, body guard, and gargantuan stature all made sense to me...but then she explained "These things are very meticulous." I had no idea if she was insulting me for my bank account not being as hefty as his, or that he just took precedence over me because he is a pro athlete? Either way, I hope that she is as meticulous with my transaction in the whole 2 minutes it took. And you better believe I checked to make sure my money was there!
I swear, people these days... ALSO lets please take note that I could have made this a racial issue...but I did not. <--oops!
