Maybe she was checking that the letters had the correct addresses, postage,etc. This is probably true, but she should have done that before she entered the post office, or at a counter inside the psot office. I think it was rude behavior, but probably becasue she was unaware someone might have to wait for her to finish. From the orignal description I though there was an actual line behind the lady. I mis-interperted the statement "as the line began to form" to mean there was an actual line he was stuck in. Scott's reply to my other post made it sound more like he was being an impatient ("but I was the only other person in line when I arrived") and cut in beside the lady before a line actually formed. There can hardly be a line if he only paused for a few seconds before cutting in beside her, dropping off his letters, and then immeadiately moving off. I have some sympothy for Scott's complaint. I know I have been stuck in the drive up mail box line while people addressed envelopes. When this happens to me, I usually park the car and either go into the post office to mail my letter, or go to a different box. In my opinion Scott was over the top on this one. He clearly didn't wait for her to drop in all 20 envelopes, so for all we know, she might have only checked a couple and, after she preceived a line was forming, she might have sped up the process or even stepped away.
