what types of queues are acceptable (10)
The length of time I am prepared to spend in a queue is directly proportional to how much I want whatever the queue is for ...
Hahah ... I`m laughing at this thread! ... Once in SA ... in their notorious "Home Affairs" office where you go for your Identity documents ... the queus are SO long you virtually have to camp outside to get back in the queu the next day!... Well, one guy brought his gun, jumped the counter .. and held a teller hostage for his passport!!!!
But then again ..... there was the Icecream Factory Shop ... where it was fabulous to stand in the mile-long queu for cheap good quality ice-cream......... mostly black people - who are the most laid-back folk on earth ..... you stand in the queu right up against the person in front, and the one behind holds you up .... you get your back massaged, a neck massage, your hair played with ...once the lady behind me unbuttoned the buttons on the back of my blouse and then did them all up again .....very friendly folk, everyone laughing and shouting.... all to pass the time of day! ....

Well, they also sold milk (if your brought your own container).. and ice-lollys ....... I tell you, no lies, for once in my life I tell no lies .......

Well hello
Sound's more like girly lesbi-friends thingy....Guess some 'Q's' are ok
After Gorbachev time, I hate queue as a concept: there is no such a queue that I would gladly stand in… but in a socialist state you can’t avoid them. So I stand in all sorts queues at least once a day trying not to engage my brain and soul into the process, and holding as false as a seven-öre-coin pleasant facial expression…
Money is the only rescue from queues, but that’s another matter of course.

I try to avoid them at all costs if possible.
I walk out of a bank/post office, if I see a really long queue, that is, more than about 5 people in banks, and 10 in PO's.
I went on a 12km charity walk a few years ago. I needed to have a toilet stop half way, but the queue was so long, I waited 10 mins, and went back walking, preferring to wait 'til I reached my destination. Then I had the lot, including lunch with chilled wine. Well deserved!

I carry a book in my purse with me at all times. I can't stand to be idle! Half the time if I am standing in line I am talking to whomever is around me, our town is very small, you either know someone or you make friends really fast, we are a friendly lot!
