Women
When getting on the bus or buying something in a shop, at some point you will be asked for money.

Bearing that in mind, why not make use of the time spent waiting for the bus or the customer in front of you to complete their transaction to take your purse out of your bag, and perhaps even lookout the correct change for the bus ticket or newspaper you're buying?

The rest of us behind you in the queue are quite happy to wait five minutes while you panic as you rummage through your bag trying to find your purse and then spend ages counting out the right money, but it might be less stressful for you.

Thanks.

I've seen slightly more women than men doing this
Working at a video store I get the added bonus of waiting for them to find their membership card before we can even get to the money part. Even though it's obvious where they are, hardly anyone seems to efficiently use their time spent waiting in line.
