Now, standing in line for 7 hours at some government office where there is a
cellphone ban, only to be told that you have been standing in the wrong
line: *That* is a waste of time, unless the value of the service is pretty
darn high (e.g. Keeping you out of prison or something)
Ho-ho-, it's fun dealing with government agencies...
"Sir, you've been standing in the wrong line. You need Line
2B-XZ342/A-alpha, which is over there by the payphone."
"But your colleague said I needed to stand in this..."
"I cannot comment on my colleague's actions. Go stand in line
2B-XZ342/A-alpha, or you may feel free to leave and return another day."
And you get to the end of *that* line, and get...
"Sir, we're closing. Come back tomorrow, when we'll be open 10:30AM to 3PM."
(why 10:30 to 3? because 9 to 5 would be too easy)
And when you eventually get to the front of the right line...
"You need form KL6/PM-gamma-2-1-slash-four-beta-two version 1.08c, this
is form KL6/PM-gamma-2-1-slash-four-beta-two version 1.08b."
Mmm, red tape...
