Purse Strings

In the long supermarket queue last night and there were about five people in front of me.
I did my usual gig of looking in the person in front of me's basket trying to figure out their lives ny waht they had bought.
One woman did fascinate me.
She had cat food and dog food . . . but also a packet of vermin powder.
Why would she need that if she had a cat and dog ?
Anyway she irritated me greatly. Got me ratty, indeed.

Why?
Because when she finally got to the till she spent ages getting her purse out of her bag and looking through it for her visa card.
My sigh could be heard all the way from Aigburth to Heswall.
Why didn't she get her money/ payment device ready to do that while she was queueing up?
Same thing happened as I awaited to get on a bus the other day a woman standing there until the bus arrived and then got her purse out when teh vehicle arrived.
Some people are so dozy.
