I have a serious problem with being in a cue line waiting for my turn on something. It doesn't matter if it's ATM cue, hospital cue, traffic cue and so on, it drives me nut to a point of paranoia.

Which one do you hate being in so much?

I try to avoid them but the ones I can't avoid more often than not are at grocery stores where a lot of people go.

It's why I try to be picky of the days when going to grocery stores. I do that mostly on Mondays here because it's more free.
 
I hate being in anyone of them but I still have to be in it because whatever brought me there was also the same thing that brought others, so it's important.

I hate being in a queue in a supermarket. I already get anxious and nervous as it is heading out so being stuck in a queue in a busy supermarket is no fun.

I also hate being stuck in traffic.

Traffic is worse. At the supermarket, I might decide not to go on with buying what I picked and head home but in traffic, you can't leave even if you wanted to.
 
I dont like being in the line for the bank because there is nothing fun to look at unlike a supermarket where I can read a magazine which is displayed at the cashiers. There are sometimes people argueing with the bank teller because of their bank or money problems.

Traffic on the highway or feeder road is the main thing that I hate. I try to avoid it as much as possibly.

I hate all of them. It's only when the red traffic light stops me that it doesn't get on my nerves.
 
This is going to sound funny, maybe hypocritical as a native New Yorker and Brooklynite and we aren't really known for our patience.. but I actually don't mind waiting..

I mean, in NYC, (all 5 boroughs) you know that you are in for something good food-wise if the line goes around the block.. or is just extremely long.. and apparently the rules are universal because my brother and his family went to a food festival a few weeks ago, and he basically said that the best places had long lines and the ones that sucked was shorter.. I told him that that he's from NYC and should've known better.. lol

But up here, I am constantly surprised by the number of people who apologize for making me wait when it is usually a very short one. I guess it is part of the irony in having lived in both places.. NYC is usually billed as a fast-paced city, and yet, during rush hour traffic it can take you about an hour to leave Brooklyn depending on the reason for the traffic. It took us 2 hours to leave Brooklyn with our truck because we got caught in traffic.

We have yet to see anything like this up here since we've been here, and even though things up here are much slower paced, it is still faster to get things done up here than it did when we lived in Brooklyn. When we signed up for TSA PreCheck, we had our numbers 2 days later and were able to use it when we went to Miami later that year for a cruise. If we still lived in NYC, there might've been a possibility that we wouldn't have had it in time for our trip. In fact I was able to get my state id switched to my new address as well as update my name to my married name, get our latest Covid shots and join TSA PreCheck in the same week.

You're having it so much easier in Brooklyn. The difference is so clear. I bet you'd find it very difficult to move back to NYC.
 
I hate being in a self checkout lane where someone has a grocery cart full of stuff, and then they take their time scanning each item. Like, you're either tryin to steal or you're being a pain in the ass. Scan your shit and go.

I've experienced this severally in shopping malls, I'll leave the cashier and go to another person with customers who didn't want to buy the whole shopping mall lol.

It's been a minute since I've been here, but I would not move back to NYC.. don't get me wrong, I will always love my city, but I don't miss it as much as I thought I would when we left.. in fact, I hated every trip back to NYC to get our stuff after we closed on this house..

It might sound crazy, but I really appreciate how much of the sky we get to see up here without light pollution.. just the other day we saw an Aurora Borealis, and downstate in NYC, I'd only be hearing about it on the news or from my brother and sister-in-law.. but I am glad that we got to see some of it from our deck.. we'd have seen more if it weren't for the pine trees in my backyard, but I've been told that it happens often up here so next time I'll go where there is a better view.

But yeah, even the diverse cultures that I thought I would miss most about living in NYC has somehow followed me up here..
 
This is the good thing about taking a book with me. If I find myself waiting in line, then I have something keeping me occupied until it's my turn. But, speaking of which cue you hate the most...........
