That's a perfect description, Cantwaittoarrive.

This reminds me of the story about the 75 year old man who was on his deathbed in the hospital with 2nd/3rd degree burns over most of his body after a gas pump explosion; he had been fueling his pickup truck while smoking a cigarette. He said "I've been smoking while gasing up my truck for 55 years; I can't believe this happened." (By the way, this was a Grampaw Pettibone story from a LONG time ago, so I don't have a link to it.)
