University

So i started university again today. It didn't start too well, i broke my oystercard about a week and a half ago now so i had to buy a ticket from the machine. Problem was i got to the station at 8 o'clock and that is when every last idiot in town descends upon the train station. None of them have already bought tickets, and try buying tickets at the machines. None of them learn from this and buy the fucking thing beforehand no, they decide to do this when i'm in a rush, already late and need to buy a ticket.

Therefore this very English phenomenum occurs. A queue. My girlfriend says that it is correctly called a 'line.' But this was no line. There were people rushing on mass to the machines frantically trying to be the next person to use the machine. But at the same time as screaming at the next person to themselves in their head observing the normal 'queue' etiquette in which people say nothing to eachother except with their eyes. They try to will the person next to them to let them go first, but the minute one person takes the initiative they don't dare try and beat the person to the machine they just observe the queue rules and wait there turn, and keep screaming to themselves in their head about how they hate queueing..... then they fall back in line.... there ya go darlin.

So that was what i thought about from 08.00-08.05 this morning. I wouldn't have thought about it if i had my ipod........... god forbid i forget the fucking thing again.
