A: 1 – To take forever to find the instructions.
1 – To swipe her card haphazardly before reading any instructions.
1 – To find the instructions and read them very loudly.
1 – To pretend to listen, but still swipe haphadardly.
1 – To interuppt the instruction reader and keep asking in that croaky, wavering-old-lady-voice: “Is it this way? Or this way?…So you swipe this card?”
2 - To stand around and get in the way and make me have to stand in the rain and listen and watch and fume.
4 – To cheer when haphazard swiper finally hits the jackpot and the door clicks, signalling that we are not doomed to spend the night in Wellington rain.
1 – To hold the door open for me so I feel a guilty for silently cursing them.
But not that guilty.
