World of Convenience

My dear husband has an issue. He feels we are living in a world that accepts laziness and expects convenience.

I understand and dont disagree with this statement. Being 8 months pregnant and typically having a 9 month old child with me when I go places, I tend to enjoy a world of conveniences.

So does hubby, but I dont think he will ever admit it.

Right now his rant is his recent discovery of drive thru windows at pharmacies. Really, I dont know where he has been, these are not a new concept but hey...he just experienced it for the first time last week and he has had issues with it since.

It all started innocently enough....I had to refill a prescription. Simple enough and he was going to town anyway, so we (I) invited ourselves along. **Sounds so much better when I blame the baby also**

I told him to pull up to the drive thru window....he looked at me like I was crazy.

"What?"
"The drive thru window. That place right in front of you that has 2 lanes, and works like McDonalds."
"They have a drive thru at the pharmacy?" I took this as a question but apparently, judging by the look I got, it was more of a statement.
"Yes, they do...why?"
"We live in such a lazy world. Everything is convenient, everyone expects things to be convenient."
"Yeah....so?" Big mistake
"A pharmacy? If your to lazy to get out of your car and pick up your prescription then you shouldnt be leaving your house."
"Or you might be leaving your house only to pick up your meds and are unable to get out of your car because of an illness or, oh I dont know, a 9 month old, 16lb baby that takes more time to get out of the car seat and into the store then it does to be in the store."
"Well, whatever....its sad."
"Its reality."

At this time we find out my script isnt ready yet, so we drive around to get something to drink. Pulling into the McDonald's I comment on how packed the parking lot is and he says "thats why we are going to the drive thru."
"Oh we are now...feeling to lazy to stand in line or just wanting the convenience of not getting out of the car?" HA, take that Mr. Lazy and Convenient

Going back to the pharmacy he pulls into the parking lot, bypasses the drive thru and parks. Then he looks at me.
"Seriously" I say....
"Seriously" he replies. Damn, thats why you dont smart off to the driver.
"This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen you do. You are really having problems with the drive thru pharmacy thing and I think you need to seek some professional help."
"Maybe so but right now, I am not using the drive thru and your not driving so its my call."
"Big baby"

OK, so maybe it wasnt one of our more mature conversations but still....he has a seriously problem. I think Mr. Lazy and Convenient needs to think about the food drive thrus he uses, the pay at the pump gas stations, the remote control, microwaves, cell phones and various other means of "convenience" before he starts in on the drive thru pharmacy.

However being a man, he never will. And even if he does, he certainly wont share his thoughts with me, espcially when he realizes that I am right :-)
