Quirky Queuing Quips

A line-up of 10 frustrating situations

We’ve all been there, standing like a lemon at the back of a seemingly endless queue of people. Is that coffee/bus/ticket/beer/iPhone/flight really worth it?

You’re trapped, staring at the back of some strangers head. At least they have a stupid hair cut, that entertains you for all of 5 seconds. You can feel time irretrievably slipping away. The last thing you want to do in your ‘leisure’ time is stand still for extended periods.

The tension is building. You’re on edge. This better go smoothly!

It never does. Man, queuing is a pain in the arse. Here are 10 of my least favourite situations which tip you over the edge:

1. When some idiot waits until the front to decide what to have

Wake up - you’ve had 10 minutes to choose. Get a move on!

2. That person who orders for her 6 mates

Who ordered a case of the ‘get your own coffee’

3. No escape from a crying baby

Too be fair…this would probably make me laugh

4. Being passively forced to overhear an awkward conversation

I don’t know how to help with your divorce. Maybe chat at home?

5. Battling drunk and ‘h-angry’ punters in the extreme circumstances of Bar’s and McDonald’s queues

It’s not even worth it!

6. The catch-22 when all you need to get through the queue is a coffee but the only way is to wait in line

Hurry up or end up in my metaphorical pit of hate

7. The toe treaders

You better watch your step

8. When your phone is out of battery

How am I going to kill time now?

9. Getting to the front and being told you are in the wrong queue

I don’t care. Don’t have two queues.

10. “Next customer please” — no movement

That means you, move it, are you deaf?

You may have experienced some or all of these situations in your queuing career. I bet you agree with my frustration.
