    This is actually called the Mystical Grocery Store Effect (MGSE) . It is a
    cosmic occurrence which conspires to rob you of your precious time.

    It's like when you get in the shortest grocery checkout line and the lady in
    front of you is $.23 short and insists on emptying her handbag on the counter
    so find the extra change. In extremely egregious instances, she won't accept
    the needed $.23 from you or any other patrons, preferring instead to try and
    maintain her dignity by finding the errant change herself. Less serious cases
    of MGSE occur when someone attempts to pay for their purchases with a check
    from within the CASH ONLY line...or get in the TEN ITEMS OR LESS line with 15
    items. (Guess where I went yesterday)

    A very rare variant of MGSE is when the guy in front of your has to search for
    change in the back seat of his car while in the toll booth. Some scientists
    think that the Bermuda Triangle is really a MGSE phenomenon.

    As to contrary wind and currents, get used to it! Doo-Doo occurs.
