In addition to working, I also do volunteer work & donate item to various charities. I can find the time--I wonder why they can't?

They're too busy 'mobbing' people. Very important business you know.

Actually, there is a mob following me around. If I am trying to make it to an open checkout counter, 5 of them are waiting to jump in line in front of me. 2 others will do a blocking maneuver to keep me back. When I'm turning into fast-food drive-thru from a left-turn lane, one will prevent my turn long enough for 5 others to jump in line first. It's uncanny! How the heck do they coordinate it so well?

This mob also has an uncanny ability to perfectly synchronize their traffic pattern such that I can't make a left turn onto a slightly busy street except at a light (where their conspiracies are thwarted by the traffic signals). I see a break in traffic wide open to the right but cars coming from the left are perfectly timed to not let me pull out. Then the break comes to the left and the right does the same thing. These guys are well organized, I tell you.
