I Hate Queues !

RATM

Can you stand them ? ( or even stand standing in them ?:pac: )

I just don't do queues. Period. I'm normally a pretty laid back soul but standing around waiting for something just does my nut in.

If I see an ATM with more than two people in the Q I'll just keep walking till the next one, even if the whole process takes longer. I'll figure that by walking further at least I'm still moving and doing something rather than waiting for the limey student in front to complete their squealing of joy upon receiving a petty grant cheque. And then it gets repeated five times by their mates.

At airports I normally sit down in the lounge near the Q and/or flight info screens and only walk up to the gate at the last possible moment. I just can't see any point to queueing, especially if you are traveling alone. Like the plane isn't exactly going anywhere till boarding is complete so why the mad rush? I can always spot the "Priority Boarders" when I walk down the aisle purely by the look of contempt on their faces-*I generally think to myself that they only look pissed off cause they are squashed up in a dingy plane for 20 more minutes than necessary simply because they bought "priority boarding" for an extra €10 What a shaft:cool:

If the queue in a bank is too much for my liking ( by here I mean my liking for the foxy teller behind the counter ) I'll just postpone it till the following day and stroll out.

If I'm in a Spar/ Centra/ Londis/ (insert Rip-off-joint here ) at lunchtime and they've only got one cashier on for 15 queuing customers then there's a good possibility that I'll leave the sandwich on a shelf in such a way that there's a chance of grated cheese being spread all over the floor. I kinda tend to think that I've queued up to get the sandwich then why the hell should I join another long queue to pay for it ?

There's absolutely no way you would ever see me at a taxi rank on a Saturday night, except if I was at one:pac: Anyone with a brain has figured that they are coming back from a run from town and that they will pick up the first available customer, whether you are standing at a rank or not. I always love laughing at the O'Connell Bridge/Aston Quay taxi rank Q of well over 60 people as I zip past them by simply walking an extra 100m and flagging one down.

So how are you on queues ? Do you, like me avoid them like the plague ? Or maybe you don't mind standing in them for a while as long as they seem to be shuffling along now and again? Or do you stand in line behaving like a sheep and occasionally and intermittently going Baaaah! Baaaaah! Baaaaaaah ! And then later Baaaaaaaaahhhhhh !!!!


Nothing like a Sunday morning rant/





Leaves to buy the Sindo/

do you want a medal or something

DONT go shopping to the North then! You will wish the UDA kidnapped you and buried you in the arsehole of tandragee.

albert-bundy

move to poland they just ignore them and stand all over you

Then I would advise you to stay home until christmas is over. I don't mind queues. It's only when they're so ridiculous that you have to wait for ages to get served. Such as in a clothing/toy shop over the christmas period. Thank god for Internet shopping!

The one thing that infuriates me is when you're the one serving and a queue is building and then some eejit comes up and insists on giving you correct change, and just stand there counting while it gets worse behind them. Or when someone comes up to the counter and asks, "what movies are on?" despite there being hundreds of schedules and tv screens displaying the listing.

For now. Web 3.0 will include virtual queuing, using new JavaScript applications they will be able to make sure you stay behind your computer and watch the virtual queue progress. you will need to use the arrow keys to move forward or else someone else will skip you. If you get up your webcam will detect that you left and move you to the back. This is all to make your online shopping experience more realistic

FlutterinBantam

Aaah !!!!so you are the fooker who always slides in on the wrong lane on roundabouts and tries to bull their way in to get to the correct lane for the exit.

The kind of person who makes 20 lane changes to gain 50 seconds?

The fooker who shouts at the back of the bar "Tew points of Callsberg and a package of cripps ovar hayar pleee- as".?

The coont who "cuts in" in front of people on the golf course with no apology?

The whanker who can't wait for anything and who thinks their "time in transit" is soo important.

You should chill out pilgrim, you are obviously stressed out and ill, relax or you will be dead before you are 45.

Is it possible to skip the queue by pressing your spacebar to jump?

Or wait for registered transit smart cards, no more queing for tickets, top up on line, from your mobile, or in a shop, but it all comes at a price.

You're the last poster I think of to recommend such a thing

Where's the hidden conspiracy? :eek:

Depending on what it is, I will just skip a queue, In my usual club, I will just walk up give my favourite bouncer a pat on the back, say "How ya?" and walk in. Also, I work with other bouncers at certain events, so I would do the same depending if they are working in the club I am going into.

At shops, its easy to skip because it is unlikely people will complain if you look like you are just talking to the staff.

At ATM's I just walk on, because I know I have no money!!!

FlutterinBantam

Hmmm just pray the Flutt is not in the queue you try that strategy pilgrim.

Ever get a dab of a tan Doc on the northside of your plums??


I assume you are trolling of course:rolleyes:

Me? No not trolling, it is alot easier to do going into clubs of course because if people give out then they won't get into the club!!!, but if there is a large queue in a shop it is still quite easy. (Especially if you have someone who is in a wheelchair with you!!! Cheating I know, but still.)

Is that really worse than behaving like a whining infant and going "Waaaah! Waaaaah! Waaaaaaah ! And then later Waaaaaaaaahhhhhh !!!!" just becuase you have to wait in line like, you know, everybody else?

Do get over yourself.

minidazzler

I don't have two accounts??? Mod, someone confirm this, I got banned on a different Messageboard before for a similar accusation, I was not happy!!!

Yeah sorry about that, my mistake. I didn't see your original post above Flutt's and thought he was responding to the op. Sorry again.

PurpleBerry

Baaaa baa baa ba baaa baa baaaaaa baa baa ba baa baaa baa ba baaaa ba baa baa baa baaa baaaa baa

Sorry, in English,

I don't mind queueing, I do mind queueing with people who don't understand the theory.

FlutterinBantam

And your point Sir??

SeekUp

I don't mind waiting in them, as long as they're moving fairly quickly. The worst is when you're standing there waiting and the person behind you doesn't realize the concept of personal space. Makes me want to . . . well . . . just tell them to move back a bit, please.

I dont play golf, its for nancy boys.
I certainly can wait for things, its just a matter of for how long.
As a former barman people who try to skip the Q didnt get served till I felt like it, I would never attempt something like that. Even worse is when a barman clearly knows you are next but goes and serves the blond instead:mad:
I do indeed change lanes very frequently and whizz past traffic, thats cause I drive a motorbike:D

Eric Cartman

youve actually summed up my entire attitude to queus RATM especially coming close to christmas, i consider henry street a queue now, i walk down parnell street instead, cant stand queues of any kind, more than 2 people infront and i wont go near it

IvySlayer

You're standing in a queue and the lady in front of you takes the longest, because she doesn't have her card/money handy.

Why torture me?

can't believe noone mentioned scrabble
