The Swiss Banker

You know how when you are at the airport, and you don't travel much, and so much has changed since the last time and you are in a line for the security check and the guy behind you is some Swiss banker who flies every day, sometimes twice a day, and he knows the system and the rules and what is expected and he has his shoes off before he even sees the gate, but he is behind you and has to wait for you to figure it all out because he is so good at it he can walk right through without slowing down?

or

You know how you are at a sushi place for the first/second time and everyone around you is having fun trying new things and there is some Swiss banker in the corner buying the fancy stuff and eating things that seem impervious to chopsticks and he is surrounded by dishes and sauces and knows what goes where and when and when you get your own dishes and sauces you are thinking, "What are all these bowls for? Whats this pink stuff for, and where is my spoon for this soup?" and you bumble around mixing things that aren't to be mixed and using bowls for what they aren't meant for as he walks out the door?

or

You know how you are at the new coffee shop in town and you don't normally go to coffee shops and there is no line but as soon as you step up to order a line forms behind you full of people who come here every day, including that Swiss banker, and they are waiting for you and you say what you want and the barista asks how you want it and you don't know how it comes so you ask and the people behind you start to pile up and it takes you 2 minutes to make a complete order while it takes 2 more minutes for the barista to get through the whole army of people behind you?

or

You know how you are about to have sex for the second-ish time with a woman and she knows what she likes and where she wants you and you don't and all you know is that it feels good and she asks/tells you to do something to her and you don't know what she means and you try to extrapolate the words into an action that you think is pleasing to her but she is still waiting for you to do what she asked for and she wishes she was with that Swiss banker who could hit her G, C, F, and Q spots while standing on one leg and massaging her back?

or

You know how you are about to have sex for the second time with a man and he knows more about the female body then your gynocologist and he asks if you like what he is doing and you don't know because you think you have to pee most of the time and he asks for your foot or your arm and you don't know why he wants your foot so you just moan louder which makes him more exuberant and he grabs your hand and puts your finger in his mouth and you think you are supposed to do something but you dont know what and he wishes he was sexing that Swiss banker chick who knew how to move around in bed?

or

You know how you are about to smoke weed the first time and they give you a joint and you inhale and hold it in and it stings and you cough and they all laugh and encourage you and you inhale again and hold it and cough and you just keep going that way over and over while everyone else is waiting for you to pass the joint incuding that Swiss banker who could have made seven passes to your one already?

That is what driving is like for me if I were a Swiss banker.
