Two Queues


On the weekend I was stuck in line for nearly 15 mins at the hardware shop while some idiot paid for some items with cash and some with credit, then argued over a plant that she thought was $2.99 when in fact is was $3.29.

It was about when I was ready to give her 30 cents and tell her to ‘hurry the fuck up’, that I came up with this idea - there should be Two Queues everywhere you go.

There should be a queue for those who know exactly what they want and are not going to be difficult. Let’s call it Q1.

And then there should be a queue for all the idiots in the world, those who have no idea and those that want to cause trouble. And we’ll call this Q2.

Here are just some examples – I’m sure you can add to this list…

Bar / Nightclub

Beer, or anything “and coke” = Q1

Everything else = Q2

Café

Flat white, Latte, Espresso or Cappuccino = Q1

Anything that starts with or contains “Mocha”, “Soy”, “Frappe” or “Skinny” = Q2

Takeaway

If you are by yourself or ordering something simple like a Burger or a meal deal = Q1

If you have more than 1 kid with you = Q2

The person at the rugby union the other night, who after standing in the queue for over 5 mins, started deciding what she wanted, only when she got to the front of the queue = Q2.

Q1: For the people who have the correct money, or approximately correct money ready to hand straight over.

Q2: For the Senior Cit who fumbles in their bag for their purse only after they reach the head of the queue, gets random coins out and holds them all up to the light to check their denominations, then proceeds to painstakingly count out the correct money in 5c and 10c pieces in an effort to be "helpful".

Oh, I hate that! People who are undecided by the time they reach the serving area drive me bonkers!

Q1 those driving properly
Q2 those who pull out and immediately start driving in the right lane at less than the speed limit and don't plan on turning right till their next birthday.

SC you will see whats happens to those who drive in the overtaking lane in Italy. They get a flashing low flying Merc/Beamer/anything wedged in their ass at 170km/hr. Strongly suggest not approaching the overtaking lane unless you are doing exactly that. Overtaking ( and doing it f@*ken quickly too)

Standing in a queue is still better than watching the Reds play rugby these days.
Count your blessings...

Only problem is those that need to use Q2 don't understand.

Fanny - Q1 - oh yes, that's a good one. Q2 - yes, even better.

Jen - Yep, I like it a lot.

R - yeah she's right

Caz - welcome aboard!

Max - Great one! Totally agree! (thanks for the tips!)

Fingers - rather support the Reds and lose, then come from NSW...

Anon - yes, you are dead right. Maybe there needs to be an usher to guide the idiots to Q2
