Truth, fiction or calumny? -- This guy's ahead of his time! He's using quantum programming methods: in universes where invalid data is passed to this function, it does not return. Thus you are ensured that you will only have valid data after calling it. Optimally you'd destroy the universe on failure, but computers haven't quite advanced to that level yet. -- [link\|http://thedailywtf.com/archive/2004/10/26/2920.aspx\|The] Daily WTF
Post #186,292 by inthane-chan 12/7/04 2:35:33 PM Reply	Dunno about Korea... ...but stop-sign "I'm going first" is a common game here in Seattle. Same with using the exit ramp as a passing lane. Same with "cutting people off at the pass." All this behavior came about during the Californification of Seattle in the mid-90s. Now, in Japan they use the car horn to say "You go first!" Seriously. "Here at Ortillery Command we have at our disposal hundred megawatt laser beams, mach 20 titanium rods and guided thermonuclear bombs. Some people say we think that we're God. We're not God. We just borrowed his 'SMITE' button for our fire control system."

Try to get on a subway during rush hour in Mexico City, they have to separate the men from the women to make it a little more fair. Finally realized if I wanted a ride befor noon I needed to make like a defensive lineman going for the hall of fame sack. Cutting in line is because you let people do it. I remember a Messr slamming in front of me at the grocery store, kept stomping on the back of his ankle surreptitiously while keeping an bemused smile on my face. The local rules are there for a reason, a culture may have been doing it a thousand years who are we to call it rude. I find it rude to arrest homeless people for sleeping in the park. regards daemon that way too many Iraqis conceived of free society as little more than a mosh pit with grenades.

Attempting to do so results in gridlock. All progress is made by getting someone to circumvent the system for you. The line thing is an extension of this facet. If you are clever (and daring) enough to work around the regular queue and get away with it then you deserve the rewards for your ingenuity. Thus, line cutting is an understandable extension of the culture. I can't judge it, really. That's just how it works.

It has been said that even if he is alone, an Englishman will form an orderly queue of one. And it's true.

Post #186,959 by Meerkat 12/14/04 6:03:06 AM Reply	Agreed We Australians can queue (pensioners at a smorgasbord a notable exception), but from the evidence I've seen/heard, the UK has turned it into a kind of art. Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.
