Waiting in Line

[marval]

I am listing below a host of reasons to thank to all the super-markets like Asda and Sainburys, for having 10 to 15 checkout aisles and only four open at any given point of time.

Waiting in long queues keeps my domestic brain from going completely redundant - there's so much to discover!

I can catch up on my magazine reading without buying any.

I have time to leave my trolley in line and run back to get the 16 things on my list I forgot.

I can be one of those irritating mobile phone users and catch up on all my phone calls to my friends, mother-in-law, and Auntie Daisy.

I can catch a quick catnap now rather than on the drive home.

I can assess what other people have in their trolleys and get exciting new dinner ideas.

I can finally apply my top coat of nail polish with plenty of drying time.

I can run next door and pick up my dry cleaning.

I can update my coupon organizer and sort out my money in my purse.

I can practice my stand-up comedy routines on unsuspecting fellow customers.

I can practice some standing yoga poses and then do those isometric muscle-contracting exercises no one else in line is supposed to know you're doing.

I can taste test my package of the newest chocolate biscuits.

I can breathe heavily on my T-bones so they're defrosted in time for dinner and I won't have to leave them out on the driveway in the hot late afternoon sun as I normally do.

Great - and so true, having suffered myself with long queue-itis.
