There was a funny bit years ago where (I think) Doc Samson flat out asks Quicksilver why he’s such an asshole, and the response was something along the lines of “if you spent every waking moment of your life waiting behind the slow person at the ATM, you would be, too.”
” Tell me, doctor… have you ever stood in line at a banking machine behind a person who didn’t know how to use it? Or wanted to buy stamps at the post office, and the fellow in front of you wants to know every single way he can ship his package to Istanbul? Or gotten some counter idiot at Burger King that can’t comprehend ‘Whopper, no pickles?” The doctor says that he has. Quicksilver asks how he feels on those occasions. The psychiatrist says, “Impatient. Irritated. A little angry sometimes.” Quicksilver says, “Precisely. Because your life is being slowed to a crawl by the inabilities or the inconvenient behavior of others. It’s not a rational or considerate attitude to have, but there it is. Now, imagine, doctor, that everyone you work with, everywhere you go… your entire world… is filled with people who can’t work cash machines. I’d venture to say, doctor, that you too would suffer from PMS. Get the picture?
