What was the last line you waited in? Traffic back up to get to the main highway to take me home today.

What or who have you waited in line a long time for tickets to see? - The longest was 2.5 hours to see the Stones in 1972. Way different system back in those days where one had to go in person at select outlets.

Where do you remember pulling a paper number tab to be called as next in line? - That would be today at a market I like.

Outside of school have you gone to a cafeteria style restaurant where you go down a line and choose your foods? - In the 1970s.

What have you decided not to do because you didn't have time or energy to wait in line? - Another stand at that same market today. I skipped it and ate at their small restaurant instead. It worked out well. The food and service was excellent. I might add I was floored at my small bill. I was offered an unexpected special.

Thanks, Peg!

There's a very popular gourmet donut cafe near me that always has a line, but I'm not willing to wait that long to buy a lousy
donut.
