It is annoying have to start conversations with several people to figure out that they aren’t in line, they’re just waiting for when it is their turn to get in line.
Don’t come to latin america. Here lines are more suggestions than actual lines and people cut in line like crazy. You just get used to it because most people are pretty chill and you just end up chatting in line instead of getting mad (lines are new friend time). You also learn to stand up for yourself or you’re going to get pushed around.
People have started queuing at bars like they’re at an atm as a result of COVID and it’s really fucking annoying when trying to serve.
Most decent bartenders can serve a few people at once dontchaknow
I try to decide for myself that these small exchanges are part of a sense of community, of seeing each other as safe, and having neutral social interactions.
Forcing myself to have neutral exchanges I think builds a sense of safety, because it extends the area between positive and negative… so I don’t have to avoid everything non-positive for fear of it being negative, you know?
Though sometimes my head is not in a good place and it’s more difficult to find the positives in stuff and be annoyed by annoyances.
(Feel free to put my unwarranted unloading as today’s second slight annoyance if you’d like)
God forbid I have to talk to other people in public.
