benson, I have that same “uncanny ability” when it comes to crossing the US-Canada border. I usually end up sitting in a line that doesn’t move while cars on either side of me move steadily forward. And, as tempted as I get to change lanes, I don’t like budding in and being a linejumper myself.
rob, I have to give those dudes the stink eye almost everytime I get on the 4/5. The worst is when I have to say excuse me to some big burly dude just so I can sit down and they act like I’m invading their space when I do. I’m no skinny minnie, but I’m certainly nothing close to fat.
Ugh…I can’t stand when people take up more space (and other resources) than they need.
Had a great late dinner last night at Broken English on Bergen & Smith. Highly recommend it. Place was packed, but we had no trouble getting a table without a reservation. And, yes, most definitely order the meatballs appetizer (n/k).

Yeah, linejumpers are way up there with subway leg spreaders on the list of a-holes.
it’s terrible to stereotype, i know, but line jumpers are pretty much ALWAYS pushing middle aged clinging onto their last eggs white women, and the leg spreaders are always moderately fat black guys. shrug, that’s just what i observe anyway.
i guess when really THINK about it (think about it), what they are doing kinda makes sense.
I had a big argument with a guy at the Home Depot once. He was in another line and there was a kid in line in front of me. When he saw my line moving faster he came over with his cart in front of me and I went ballistic.
He’s telling me I shouldn’t say those things in front of his son and i tell him that his son already sees that his father is an asshole so STFU.
I have an uncanny ability to pick the wrong line. Even if I get on the shortest line, my wait will turn out to be longer than others.
LOL, benson, me too. In fact, once something starts to go wrong I usually turn to the person behind me and say that if you’re in the same line as I am, you’re in the wrong line.

I hate leg spreaders on the subway. Most of those men can’t possibly have balls requiring that much breathing room
This topic has been covered extensively on this blog.
Kens, you “hard” ice cream? Is that more fun than using a jelly bag?
