I whole-heartedly agree.

Seriously- people have gotten to the point of impatience that taking more than 3 additional seconds to do anything results in all kinds of whining.

Last week, I was ordering a chicken salad somewhere and I was informed at the register that the dressing I wanted wasn't in stock. So I paused a moment to think of my second choice, and I guarantee 10 seconds hadn't gone by when the lady behind me huffed loudly at me. It doesn't even matter if she knew what was going on or not- the issue was that I'd spent less than 10 seconds pausing to think.
