Waiting 7 Extra Seconds In The Car Line Is Not That Serious, Y'all

"It's as much a tradition as taking a first-day-of-school photo with a chalkboard: bitching about the car line at school," writes our own Samantha Darby. "I'll be the first one to admit that I've huffed my way around the car line circle, throwing my hands up at parents who get out of the car to open their kid's door, who don't pull all the way up to where the teachers are frantically waving — it's frustrating. There's a flow to the school car line, and when someone takes six seconds longer than I'd like to move on from the sidewalk, I'm quick to shout, 'Oh my GOD, move your ass, what are you doing?!'"

But today, she's got a little plea and a bit of perspective for everybody who's about to blow their top at the car line shenanigans. Listen to her!
