Standing In A Line - Page 2

It usually depends on whether or not I'm in a hurry. I tend to look really impatient when I'm in a hurry because I'll cross my arms, stick out my foot and continually check my watch. When I'm not in a hurry, I just tend to sorta space out and stare at the gum. If there's a real and decent magazine, I'll skim at the cover.

Line In Standing

I truly dislike waiting, in line or anywhere. But I've learned to adapt. I bring a book, I chat with others. I shift from foot to foot, twiddle with my jewelry or purse, balance my checkbook. The only thing I don't do in line anymore is get upset! I can't control it; I can only wait.

It all depends if I am or not in a hurry. If I am, definetly I would be shaking my leg and crossing my arms and getting kind of hyper...if I am not, then I would just wait, listen to some music if I have my walkman with me or just think about the things I need to do for the day.

When I'm in line I read any sign or notice or menu or anything that I can see from my current vantage point. I'll act like I am totally ingrossed in it to prevent conversation with the people next to me. I will not, however take out a magizine or listen to a walkmen or isolate myself in any other way. If there is nothing to read then I will observe the people in front of me and evaluate their cloths (or lack there of). One of my favorite pastimes is Mullet hunting (a Mullet is a haircut where the hair on the sides of a persons head is longer than the hair on the top).
I also shift my weight from foot to foot or lean against a support if available.

Line In Standing

When in line, I nearly always have my arms crossed (for lack of anything better to do with them, though I've heard that this is a gesture subconciously done by introverts), my feet placed about shoulder width apart, and my head slightly bowed. I then engage in daydreams (especially if there's a pretty girl nearby, much to my own self-admonishment ), or whatever other thought happens to cross my mind at the time. If I'm tired I may close my eyes during this process. People generally don't bother when I'm like this.

Standing In A Line

I myself and a very hyper active type of person and can't stand sitting still longer than a few moments unless I am "entertained". I need to keep myself busy to stay awake or I will lose interest and most likely leave. Most of the time when I am standing in line I think of the things I should be doing or want to do. I cross my arms and spread my feet to my shoulders and dart my eyes from one person to the next. Then I look off into the distance and ponder a bit.

I truly hate standing in a line. I try to foresee the times when I got to do it and I usually bring a book or at least a newspaper. If it's an unforeseen situation, I try to discipline myself and stay still, but if I'm in a hurry or tired, it's rather difficult and I start shifting the weight from feet to the other, while I cross my arms in front of my chest.

The U S Army teaches us to stand in lines. strait and quiet, one foot behind the guy in front. but since I was there I don't do that I try to make a conversation about things that I see or know. but I also feel its the business thing that they should have there people go out at a certain time and give out numbers to anybody in the line so that those people can know they are going to get in the place. or have the chance to get a ticket. before those who don't have a number.
