I was once in (doesn't matter what shithole country it was) and we was struggling to get on a flight because the queue was disorganised and staff wasn't moving us fast enough.

This was the breaking point for a guy I was with and he said "I wish one fucking person in the country gave a shit about anything"

And sometimes it does feel like that.

Also worked with another guy that was very quiet and kept to himself and was pretty calm. But he used to say whenever we had an issue "people just got to come in and do their job" (implying the fuck up was due to people not doing their basic job)

Edit: changed my spelling coz I'm retarded (actually am a bit so I'm allowed to use it like the blacks)

Speaking of queues, I just want to rant for a second:

Queuing in Britain is one of our greatest strengths. Everyone stays chill, nobody cuts in, everyone knows that everyone gets seen in due time.

But what the fuck are we doing in bars and pubs now? Who the hell started the idea that it was socially acceptable to queue at a bar?

It's one of the few places where the organised chaos of just piling in reigns supreme.

You squeeze in, find a space at the bar when it appears, and the innate understanding between bartender and client turns what looks like abject chaos into a beautiful drunken ballet.

Fuck queuing at bars. Fucking stop it.

I have to admit it surprises me too, but somehow I find myself still queuing up alongside the bar.

It's nuts and yet makes perfect sense, but I can vouch that no one -no one- was doing it ten years ago.
