When you escape the queues of life, life puts you in longer queues

Colm O’Regan is trying to be Zen about queues. 

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised, when you escape the queues of life, life puts you in longer queues. But there is one queue that I cannot abide.

It’s the queue where we’re not all queuing for the same thing. I bet everyone one of us has a traffic-light junction in mind where the people going right block the people going straight on or vice versa.
