Maybe it's me...

I am either really cranky or I have a short fuse this week.

Let's talk about lines.  I am talking about lines that are formed when people are waiting to get to one specific area.  Lines are formed to create order.  One by one - people form a line - one behind the other.  Each person is taken care of in order.  Lines may be long, but if you WAIT YOUR TURN you will be waited on too.  See simple.

Well - I live in a place where many people have migrated from some third world country where apparently they do not have these things called lines.

We have lines at stores, banks and even those merge lanes on the highway can be considered lines.  Lines work.  Lines prevent others from screaming that they were there first.  Lines make life fair and everyone is happy and can move on with their day.

Some people don't believe in lines at all.  My father used to make fun of a commercial that said "stay in the lines - the lines are good" refering to coloring.  I am all for someone showing their creative side.   But - not while I am waiting in line.  Do it on your own time.

I think that if you come into this country - you need to learn a few things.

First - To speak the language (thats English just in case your confused) Even if just a little.  At least I know you are trying.

Second - To drive.  I think this has a lot to do with lines again.  There are lines on the road for a reason.  Stay in your lane.  If you are going to come in my lane.  Warn me...I dunno maybe you can use your turn signal provided in the car?  I am just sayin.

Plus - the honking thing as soon as the light turns gets old.  Take a chill pill.

Third - To make a line - a single line.  I understand that some of you come from worlds where its first come first serve. You have to scramble, crawl and push to get what is rightfully yours. 
But - America has so much to offer.  We have quite the bounty of everything you could possibly ever want. 

If you just wait in line.  That bag of Yucca could soon be yours too.
