Day 224: Cut in Line

"The very front of the line has been scientifically proven to be the best place to muscle in: people are relaxed as they can see they'll get in, and it's so cheeky they can't believe you're cutting in line anyway. Avoid the middle of the line: people have been there a long time already and are stressed about whether they'll get in. Tourists are a good bet: they don't know the rules, they won't speak will enough to protest, and in their country it's often the done thing anyway. Avoid the elderly: they have high moral standards and will enjoy rebuking a young hooligan in public."

Today I went to see the eye doctor and in front of me in line at the reception desk, there was a guy talking on his phone while he was trying to make an appointment. It was clearly not working, and also bothering the ladies working at the desk. I did my part and cut in front of him just to expedite the process for everyone.
