Que Etiquette

Mmmmm, standing in line has to be one of my very favourite things to do. There's nothing quite like the smell of a strange hu,an being as it slowly, but steadily drifts over your shoulder on a sweltering African summer afternoon. Nothing quite gets the blood pressure up...

I know that things used to take longer and over the last few years, 10 or so, everything has started to move much faster. We spend less time in ques, less time on the phone, less time with friends and apparently less time bathing.

Despite the decrease in time spent in line and my acknowledgement of this fact, it still pains me - probably more than 10 years ago.

... and then there's the disregard for any Que Etiquette...

1. Observe Personal Space
2. Bath Before Queing
3. Everyone Has to Do It - So Shut Up
4. Complain (see 3 above) if the service is crap and only if you can sense general consensus on the matter
5. Don't Leave The Que
6. ... And If You Do - Don't Come Back

I hate ques and I hate people that fail to observe the correct etiquette. Its completely arrogant and insulting.
