Few Things...

Are as difficult as trying to help a little, old, asian woman figure out how to use her Illinois Link Card at an ATM. It probably wouldn't have been so bad if she spoke more english than just, "Please", but she didn't. She kept babbling on to me and pointing at her cards, then to the teller machine, then back to her cards. I tried valiantly to assist her, another passerby even stopped to try and figure it out. We couldn't. I apologized, bid her farewell, and started to walk away.

When I got to the street corner I looked back and the lady was flagging down another pedestrian; gesturing wildly to the ATM and rapidly firing off 'pleases'! I hope he had better luck.
