Location: my work
Time: this afternoon, about 4pm
Characters: Yay (Y), Woman with pregnancy test (W), Man with toilet paper (M), other lady (L), various other people standing around looking impatient

Yay: (to a lady who's here from Tasmania on holidays and forgot her scripts and I'd just called her pharmacy in Tasmania to ask them to mail me her prescriptions) blah blah blah that will be $7.60 thanks. (Looks at M) Just the toilet paper?
M: (starts to hand over toilet paper)
W: Excuse me, I have been waiting quite some time!
Y: (somewhat intimidated, accepts the pregnancy kit thrust into her hands)
M: (throws toilet paper to the ground and storms out)
Y: (finishes pregnancy test transaction)
L: That was a bit of a rush!
Y: Yes, complete with a dummy spit over a toilet roll
L: Yes, I saw that! Some people!
Y: Ah well, what can you do? I'm not going to lose any sleep over a toilet roll.
L: Good! I hope you have a good evening.
Y: Thanks! That will be $25.90 (or some other amount)
