Did it occur to you that this is exactly the sort of MFFY actions you gripe
about? Maybe the girl at the front of the line was a MFFY person, but what
about all the people in line you cut in front of? What did they do wrong?
And 20 envelopes times 1.5 seconds is 30 seconds...you couldn't wait 30
seconds? And what Post Office only has one slot for mail? The smallest PO I
go to only as one inside slot, but it has two boxes outside. And if you read
the notices, it is often the case that the outside boxes get picked up more
often and later than the inside box.

It seems to me that two MFFY people is worse than one.

I agree on this one. Seems to me the woman was a sloth and Scott was
the MFFY.

Who did Scott inconvenience?

MFFYers don't have to inconvenience anybody. They just believe that
they should be at the front of the line.

They do. That's what the FY part implies.

That's covered by the MF part. Therefore, the only thing Scott's
guilty of is being a MF.
