Everything you try to do to save you time has actually made it take longer. When you are in a hurry to check out and you get in the shortest line only to be behind an old woman (Grandma Penny) who is counting out her pennies to pay for her things.

Can also be used to describe being stuck in your lane of traffic and switching to the faster lane only to see the lane you switched from is now the one moving.
I can't get away from grandma penny today!
