Old guy at the post office counter changed my mind about waiting in line

I was standing in line fuming about the slow service when the guy behind me said 'you know, this is the only part of my day where nobody can ask me for anything.' He was in his 70s with a worn-out leather jacket. Has anyone else had a stranger say something that totally flipped your mood like that?

Used to get so wound up in lines, always watching the clock and getting mad. But that old guy has a real point - its the one time nobody can bug you about work or anything else. Ever since I heard something similar I've started treating those few minutes like a break instead of a punishment. Makes the whole wait feel shorter too when you stop fighting it.
