Q-lucky

One needs a lot of luck to be serviced while in a queue. I am most unlucky as far as queues are concerned. If there are seceral counters for the same function, the one where I stand will move the slowest. My previous customer will always be a difficult one, with the person at the counter having to move away to consult her boss about whether the requested transaction can be processed. The boss will arrive at the counter to have a "look" at the customer before taking a decision. An argument will invariably follow. When that is done, the lady will receive a call on her cell phone that will keep her "busy" for 20 minutes. In the meantime, another employee of the organization will appear from behind with a transaction to be processed out of turn. When all these are taken care of, it will be time for the lady to go for a cup of tea.We are also human beings, aren't we will be the answer if someone grumbles about the lady's right to tea. Finally my paper is accepted and lo and behold, the network has gone down. She bangs the keyboard hard thinking that it will clear the network clog, a la pizhichal ayurvedic treatment. She peeps into other counters which are also down and is now confident that she can wait for the system to come to life again. After 35 minutes, a technician appears and reinserts a plug into its place (someone had tripped over it !). The system is now alive and the booting process starts - she gropes in her handbag for the chit of paper on which she has scribbled her password. At this time, the printer has run out of paper. She has to fill in a requisition form in triplicate to get a refill roll of stationery. At this time, the clcok strikes 1 and time for lunch break. She graciously does me a favor by saying that she will not go for lunch without completing my transaction.

How about your luck with queues?
