Queue

Queue a.k.a antri...not every people are aware that they need to queue to speed things up. Maybe not every people even know what this famous word means.

Queue to enter a bus, a building, a terminal gate in an airport, even queuing multiple processes in a computer programme. Just imagine which one is faster. 5 people trying to enter a door at a time and ended up fighting with each other to get the first access, or 5 people queuing and access the door one after the other sufficiently. It's just so plain and simple.

It reminds me of my experience in Doha airport. Transit passenger from some of the flights will have to go through an x-ray to be able to enter the terminal. That morning, adjoining passengers from several flights were stacked all together in the same area to enter one single x-ray gate. They do have several x-rays...but only one was open. Imagine more than 300 people from around the world with different kind of nationalities, trying to access one single damn x-ray. And offcourse they don't even bother to queue...there's no place to make a queue line either. It took me almost two hours just to enter that xray after being crushed from every sides available by all those furious people. Including myself offcourse. Who wouldn't.

The point is....eventhough queue won't improve the time significantly, it will definitely still be more convinient to people by not crushing or elbowing one another.

So please... there's no harm to queue properly guys...

There is nothing more annoying than a queue jumper. Rude, ignorant and stupid. Sadly you can find it everywhere: airport terminal, ticketcounter, traffic, even in Mac Donald outlet.
