   My biggest gripe about queues or lines is when I drive in heavy traffic to and from work. You know stop,start move 15 ft. and repeat. This may take up to an hour.

   But wait all you have to do is use that lane that will be running out or ending and not a through lane. Signs all over telling your to move over as lane is ending. But curtesy and fair play doesn’t to the suv and pickup owners who know beyond a doubt that they own the road, and rush past scores of cars to reach the end of the lane and the force their way in,most not even using their turn signals to ask for a break into the line. Just dare you keep them out.

   Now my second story is how a man in line at a McDonald’s ahead of my wife, just decided he din’t like the delay and with out an consideration of his actions, shoves his duel wheel pickup truck in reverse and drives right over the top of our hood, tearing it up and then the grill until his bumper finally hit our front bumper.Oh yes he was an uninjured drive and we had to bear the dedutible to the car repair. That happen to me also once when a drunk decided to back his boat up and drove his propeller and motor over the top of my hood. again no insurance

   Go figure
