You're completely right. It would be much better if they were rummaging around in their purses while they're piloting 5000lb missiles at 60mph down the road.

I understand the sentiment, but it's better that they wait. I also get testy when I get in a line at a toll booth behind someone that starts trying to find their change after they stop. I get my money ready ahead of time, but I'd prefer that drivers were paying attention to driving while they are driving.

A while back, I was at the grocery store in line. I stood and waited while the person ahead of me watched all of their stuff get scanned. The cashier stopped, and said the total as the customer stared at her. When the cashier said the total, the customer started digging around in her purse, pulled out her check book, and began to write a check.

I was mentally pummeling the customer.
