    Default Waiting in line.

    Don't you just hate waiting in lines? Especially when there is nothing at the end of the line, like when you get off cruise ships or other transports. Everything just build up to a major climax (like an explosion or at least gunfire), and nothing happens! How silly is that? And how hard can it get to go off a ship? Why do there have to be lines at such places?

    Anyway, the topic is as follows:

    How do you behave in lines? Do you push the person in front of you? Do you wait patiently? Do you wait impatiently? Do you gnaw on someone's leg? Do you exit reality and start pondering on why Lorne Greene had to quit Bonanza?(he was cool.)

    I grumble and complain about how long the line is.
    Grab the opportunities life hands you, that's my motto!

    I wait while I think about how much I want to run to the front of the line and be first.

    If I'm waiting for delicious food, then I don't mind waiting in a line. However, if I'm waiting to board a plane or get into a movie screening, I become quite agitated for a number of reasons. I always become nervous about possibly missing the plane/movie, and I do experience feelings of insecurity when I'm stuck close to other people who I don't know.

    I also become annoyed if the line isn't moving. Sometimes, the owners of movie theatres seem to like making you wait for no apparent reason. Perhaps they derive some sort of sadistic pleasure from our waiting...who knows? Then again, perhaps they're just cleaning the room from the previous screening.

    The line they were waiting in was a line for complaints.

    The size of the line determines whether I wait in that line or not. I remember at the my old schools canteen, we had such a huge line, in my senior year I just snuck in through the back door and paid for my food.

    Normally I wait, then talk louder and louder and start voicing my displeasure if I deem the line to be too long.

    If its for the school canteen and people push infront of me I get all evil to them. I'm in the last year, so the way I see it, everyone should be fearful and respectful of me. So I just complain loudly and proclaim that I'm being nice letting them go infront of me as they need their food more, seeing as they are fat.

    When It comes to food, I dont give quater.
