Queuing or Standing in Line
I arrived in Germany on a Friday. And I started my very first ‘real’ job on the following Monday.
And although I was the first person at the bus stop early on the Monday morning, I was the last person on the bus.
So what happened?
I stood directly behind the bus stop, as I had always done at home. Nobody came to stand behind me. Some people stood near the bus stop, some further away.
You can imagine how shocked I was when the bus stopped some metres away from me, and everyone just rushed into the bus to take their seats.
I felt really bad. But we have a saying, “If you can’t beat them, join them”.
So it was a lesson learnt.
But I still secretly wish that people here would learn how to queue properly.
Perhaps they should all listen to William Hanson and Emmy Kenny on the BBC Breakfast Show!
