I have just queued in our local Post Office, and the other queues were going faster. However, the moron in front of me had decided to pay several bills using a mixture of cash and cheques and couldn't count anyway, so I was tutting and tapping my feet behind her willing her to get a move on.
But, this seems to happen a lot. If I'm in a motorway queue, it's the other lanes that seem to move faster. I join a short supermarket checkout but the others seem to whizz ahead of me.
So, is this paranoia (why me?) or is there another reason that you can think of?
Does anyone care???

It really isn't you. The whole world is NOT conspiring against poor old Fluffpot. I get it too. Just the other day, I stood in the wrong queue at the supermarket. The people were breezing passed on either side - my queue was going nowhere.

The reason is, one of the corollaries to Murphy's Law, the law that says, if anything bad can happen, it will happen, and at the worst possible moment. Cheer up, everyone else thinks they are in the slowest moving line as well.

Its down to a false perception and worrying unnecessarily brings on stress etc so chill out and enjoy the queue.

for the same reason that when you drop a slice of buttered toast it always lands buttered side down - such is life!

Matter of opinion I guess. Also, could be point of view.
