I went to get lunch today at the
Panda Express near my work. There were 3 guys in front of me ordering food "to go"... As I was waiting in line, the line was growing fairly rapidly...
I asked for the items & got my plate, I then stood looking at the 3 guys in front of me floating all over the place, standing in nothing resembling a line, looking like they were waiting for an item to be finished (like they ordered egg rolls, but there were none left so they had to wait for them to finish making them). There was one person at the register, and they were being handed their change at the time I looked over...
I made the assumption that these 3 were obviously not waiting to pay, because of the meandering formation they were standing in. So I then traversed the 3 person obstacle coarse, and proceeded to move behind the person who was paying. The guy standing back against the wall then walked up, and said "we're in line"...
The only problem is that the one thing each of these guys was not, was in a line... There is a reason it's called a "
line". This guy talked to me like I was rude to "walk in front of him" (which I shouldn't have been able to do if he was in fact standing in the line). I don't even think these guys realized that they were the rude ones, there were at least 10 people behind me by the time I got to the register, and half of those people would have been given their food and would have been ready to pay if these 3 guys weren't taking up so much room standing in their idea of a "line"...
Just a hint guys: If you're next in line, try standing in the line at that point to make it obvious. Being you weren't wearing name tags, or identifying T-Shirts, I didn't realize you were in fact the founding members of
The "What Line?" Idiots...
