Drowning by numbers
In Belgium and the Netherlands and probably other countries as well, we have certain shops and places that need you to draw a number in order to get served.
I don’t know why, but some people choose to ignore drawing a number and just go ahead and stand in line. This morning, I had some business to attend to at my bank. I walk in and draw a number. There’s one person in front of me. When my number comes up, I resolutely walk to the counter indicated on the big led board and I notice the other person walking next to me. When I show my number to the clerk, I hear this humongous sigh come up and then it hits me: the guy didn’t take a number.
Serves him right ;)
