Woman, and their daftness
I will sound terribly misogynistic here, but empirical research conducted by me has concluded it is a near-exclusive womanly trait...of not having the bus fare/cash card ready despite waiting ages in the bus queue/ATM queue beforehand. This leads to increased waiting times and irritable huffing from the less patient members of society, ie: me and men in general.

Ive never understood why this is, as it seems a simple process. My own spurious theory is when a woman has to wait for anything instead of filling that time with practical tasks, as a man would, their mind instead defaults to a slideshow of kittens segued with shoes as Beverley Knight plays in the background. I was recently dumped and not bitter regarding the female population, oh no.
