Patient cuts long line at the doctor’s office, nurse makes sure he waits longer than everyone else: 'Nurse straight up walked away'

Even routine errands can expose the best and worst of human behavior. One man shared a story from his vaccination appointment that turned into a perfect example of how patience pays off and arrogance doesn't.

He was one of several seniors who arrived early, chatting and passing time in the lobby. When a woman politely questioned how the line would form, another man snapped, "I wasn't talking to you, mind your own business," before storming off to demand answers from staff. He didn't bother sharing what he learned, leaving the rest to figure it out for themselves. Eventually, the group discovered that seating was organized in batches, with mobility needs taking priority. In other words, no one was really losing their spot.
