OT: people who fulfill your expectations after you judge them in a negative manner.

E. g. just now a woman walked around me while I was in a queue for something. My very first thought, before I went back to musing about boobies, was "she's going to jump the fucking queue". She just stood there for a while pointing to things behind the counter and chatting to her kid. Right when it was my turn, she ordered something from the shop assistant. I corrected her, and she argued "but you just walked up!", whereupon I countered "no, I was queuing. Technically you just walked up ma'am." She said: "but I've been here for over five minutes!". *sigh*

Same happened to me the other day at a petrol station. Was waiting in the queue to pay and a guy with a basket of stuff walked round the counter from the otherside and went to the next till as the last customer walked away, there were about 5 of us waiting, and I was about to say something but faiplay to the girl serving, she pointed to the queue behind him and said 'sir you need to go the end of the queue'

He was a business man in a suit and he looked at us like we were cattle, looked back at the girl in disbelief, and then sheepishly joined the back of the queue, I walked up to her and said thank you, she said it really pisses her off when people do it and refuses to serve them

Yeah but you're forgetting something there that many don't realise, especially when there's kids involved; was she hot?

When I worked at a discount supermarket in my young days, it pissed me off when people skipped in line. Relatively small and only two tills, we would sometimes experience crazy lines through the entire store. Usually we only had one till open as we were always understaffed.

So crazy line, I go open the 2nd till and people, who weren't even in line, come rushing. I'd always tell them to go to the back is the line and that it'd be their turn soon. Some people were grumpy, but most understood.

Now if someone skips me in line, I give them a tap on the shoulder and ask is their time is worth more than mine, since they feel like skipping the line. Usually they give a half assed apology about not seeing the line, and then trot off to the back of it. If they say yes, I firmly ask them to fuck off and get in the back of the line

@Toh: unfortunately, no, or I would have cavemanned her then and there.

tbh I'm fairly proper, and I like queues because they are things that I understand the workings of. in well-organized social circumstances, everyone will get their turn, the serving person won't be overloaded and waiting will be minimal. I do not believe for a moment that, in my case the woman, or in Ed's case the man, simply did not see the queue. People are not that obtuse, so they deliberately chose to ignore it, in the hope of a better deal at the cost of everyone else's time, patience and urge to commit murder.

Recently I heard a train conductor phrase the human condition rather well, when I was checked sitting in second class on my first class travel card. Dude said that I must be there on purpose, and I agreed as I was sitting with my lezza friend, keeping her company while we chatted about the weekend or whatever. Then he said something that I will never forget, which was: I knew that you were here deliberately, Sir, because while people with second class tickets often accidentally sit in the first class coaches, people with first class tickets never accidentally sit in second class.

edit: no idea why I just typed that last bit. it made perfect sense at the time, but then again I am full of pain meds, so who knows!

 

[old.Tohtori]

That's interesting though, from few posts read above about line hopping. If in a Finnish supermarket(or a regular sized market? ) a second till opens then usually a group of the people who are last in the original line go to the new till and noone thinks twice about it.

Even if someone is last in a 20 person line, notices first a new till is opening and moves to first spot in that line(no one runs to be first etc, just switches), there's no conflict. I guess around here a new till opening is just fair game.

Have to look out for that if i'm ever shopping around your parts

I'm no fan of XMas decorations in general but someone has decided to put them in our office ... toilet. Really?? I walk, unzip and there's tinsel all around the urinal.

Same here.

It's a trap!

You'll be pissing into it when someone comes into the bog singing "you better not laugh, you better not cry, you better not scream, I'm going in dry".

I'll see if I can manage a sneeky under the covers tonight while she's asleep

I'll be sleeping on the couch for the next fortnight....

 

[Lakih]

I think you would be sleeping with the fishes if you actually did it for real.

 

[Gwadien]

Go gym, walk to the shop, on the way back, twist me ankle.

great.

 

[caLLous]

That'll teach you for exercising.

 

[Gwadien]

That'll teach you for exercising.

That's the thing though, do stupid exercises, im fine, omw home, and then die.

ffs.

BT are trolling me. I have now had 3 visits from an engineer to install fibre optic (to the home). Today it got finished and it is all setup, and ready to go but in the mean time BT cancelled my order and I need to wait until Monday for the order to be placed again, and then "a few" more days for it to start working, despite the fact that everything is in place.

@Gwadien wait till you get to the point when the pain after two days is amazing. you'll be all like wtf man I didn't do anything yesterday
but your firm young body will not agree

I have been in pain since April. So fed up with it now. Every time I move it hurts, even with the pain killers I have.

I've had problems with this ankle for ever and I really should go get it checked out, its always the part that gives out quickly when I'm running

 

[TdC]

Donno. I hurt my back in April and ever since my sciatic nerve has been playing up. Been to physio, osteopaths, doctors. On gabapentin and co codamol.

You don't realise how often you use your lower back and leg muscles even just turning in bed, until it hurts every time you do.

Waiting for a skeletal muscular referral to come through. Might then get an X-ray or a scan on it.

 

[TdC]

I have an MTB mate who was poorly for a while. He swears by MRI scans. Only way to see what's up tbh.

Typing "food thermometer" into Google on my tablet and getting information on St Andrews Day. Brilliant.
