Once, while standing in line to register for college classes, I thought, "Why is this taking so long? Is another student being obstinate about getting into a particular class? Are the computers running slower than usual? What's going on here?"
When it was my turn to register, I was glad I'd kept those thoughts to myself. As I handed my list of proposed classes over to the scheduler, I saw that he had hooks for hands. Immediately, I thought, "If I'm ever tempted to vent about something trivial, I need to remember this moment."
