Ha! You’re probably right. I was taking the sign completely seriously, but your interpretation seems more likely.
hahaha. This is greatness. Especially, the sample sentence given for wait.
An ordeal, indeed, which is why the author felt the need, after explaining “what a line is” for a page, to write “Questions? See Julie.”
Maybe Julie teaches a class called…. Western Society: Learn to Stand in a Line 1021 or maybe she’s just an anal English Professor that wrote this page and then felt the need to be even more verbose in person.
Who knows!
It is said that some people should get out more. I suspect that Julie, medal winner in the passive-aggressive Olympics, should stay in more.
I see humor. The author and the subject are great studies in human nature.
Ohh the goodwill, not only do they have very interesting stuff in there they have some very “unique” people in there as well…but I still love going in there.
Almost all my clothes are from the goodwill.
I just can’t pass up paying a dollar for a shirt instead of 20 dollars for the same shirt…especially when I do not have a job and am completely broke.
So when I take a number at the deli, am I still waiting in line?

it’s a three part test for line waiting: 1) inactive, 2) expecting something, 3) someone or something beside you. apply to your common deli experience and enjoy.

I’ve got a question for Julie:
- Deets
Is there a line to see Julie with my question ’cause I can see a lot of people being confused by this crazy concept?

Julie’s thinking “Ah! I left my bag in line THREE YEARS AGO and they’re still making fun of me!”
