Gimpy Goes to the Post Office

If you want to go through an exercise in pain and frustration, try this:

  1. Go to the post office on a Saturday morning with crutches and 2 smallish items to ship
  2. Try to pack those items while standing on one leg
  3. Crutch to the back of the line with the large-ish "priority mail" box (you know what I'm talking about)... of course, since the box won't fit in your backpack and you'll be trying to fit the box between the crutch and your side, each step you take will be limited to about 6".
  4. Stand in line on one foot (there isn't anything so big as a window ledge to sit on, even if someone did volunteer to stand in line for you) for 15 minutes or until you're ready to cry, whichever comes first. (though note that if you go for the 2nd option, you'll just have to start back at #1 on another day)
  5. On your way out, notice that no one in the post office has said a single word to you or offered any kind of assistance in any way.
