Old people cutting in line … I love them …

People cutting in line, especially OLD people …

What is it with people cutting in line ? And why is the majority above 70 ! Is that something everyone is intitled to do when they hit the 70 ? Gosh, 35 more years to go to get there I suppose.

Here I am in a store buying some things. The line in front of the cash-desk is long. EVERYONE knows that, because around this time ( Sinterklaas at Holland as well as Christmas ) half of Holland is out buying something.

In this store everyone just waits their turn. There are 2 people behind the cash-desk and whomever is done , the next in line goes to see !

Well, standing and waiting there I am busy making a baby completely NUTS by talking to him. His father is also very cheerfull, so … no problem waiting , right ? After playing peek-a-boo a few times I here a sigh … First I start thinking the baby has enough of the game, but … noop. It is an old lady behind me.

Before I can even think : Oh crap … and old person … sighing … can’t mean anything good !!! She starts nagging about the huge line.

I say in a friendly tone : ‘Well, this is a busy time and the people behind the desk are working hard. So just wait, we’ll get there eventually ‘.
Than she starts moving and pushes me aside a bit. I ask what is wrong as … I hate it when people start touching me like that. She says she just wants the line to move. Well, weird way to move it. I tell her to me it looks like she is cutting in line

and the father of the child backs me up and says the same.

Before I know it, she really does CUT in line and stands right in front of me . You know, with people like that I just think ‘WHATEVER … IFFFF it makes you happy that you are 1 minute faster … than BY ALL MEANS … CUT the freaking heck IN LINE !’ .
The father of the child though looks annoyed at her. He is next and I see him thinking : I am gonna throw my baby in YOUR face when you cut in line with me !

Than she decides to talk again and says annoyed : ‘ IF there were 2 lines, because there are 2 helpers, than it would not be such a mess.’ And than she picks a helper and starts a line there.

What the heck for ? Everybody is waiting their turn !!! And I just blab out : ‘ God, you could also just wait your turn ‘.

In front of me the father is helped by the manager of the store … heheh and I see he is doing his best to be quick. Than he nods at me and I put my stuff on the counter.

I smell a conspiracy here … because the other helper is suddenly taking the time to help the person in front of the old lady ( ROFLOL ).

The man helps me, winks at me and than nods to the next person. I leave with my stuff and than I hear the manager say to the old lady : ” Well well well, IF you would have stayed in LINE it would have been YOUR turn now”.

Some people giggle … but my giggle is a little louder as is the fathers who is right near the door with me.

I love this shop, I love the manager there , heheheheeh.
