The title is from a song by “Spirit of the West”. But I’m starting to wonder if I’m “too Canadian” or just crazy.
Case in point, I got to the post office before it opened. There were people there waiting, but they were waiting in random locations in the atrium, not actually lined up. The person nearest the door was a good metre and a half away from the door. Not being able to detect any order to this gaggle, I walked right up to the door and stood there. The gaggle soon formed itself into a lineup behind me. But all the time I stood there, I couldn’t make eye contact with all these people, because I know that they got there ahead of me, but I “butted in” in front of them. And yet I know there was no line to butt into until I formed the line, so why am I beating myself up about this?
Did anyone grumble?
They knew where they were standing. Stop worrying, unless one of them was packing and got your address.
