Sorry to bother you but it is "missing the cue" not que or queue. Just fyi for the future.

OPs account age is 1 day, this single post and zero comments. Most likely a copy and paste bot, which is hilarious because what are they farming for here? There's no karma!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

You're paranoid. Prolly just a reddit refugee.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But what if I cut in front of the line because I missed the queue?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

I've done that before. Massively embarrassing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Exactly! Cue starts with c like call or clue, which are sort of what it means.

Queue is a bunch of letters standing in line for no reason (since Q alone would sound the same)

Que is pronounced like the beginning of queso

Am I the only person who doesn't encourage my 6 year old to lie?

[–] [email protected] 90 points 4 days ago

And that's exactly why your kid will never make lieutenant.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago

The problem is society massively rewards lying within limits. Kind of like when you make a resume that explains your one week spring break drunken binge as a "Cultural Exchange Opportunity".

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

"Never lie!!!"

Knock knock "Are there any Mexicans in this house?"

"YES SIR, they're hiding in my basement to escape your search."

Lying to save five bucks at a corporate chain is fine man. Lying to a local business is kind of shitty. Maybe teach kids when lying is acceptable, instead of arbitrarily deciding all lying is bad.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Thank you. I was so uncomfortable with this as a kid

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Me, too. But now I kinda regret not going along with it. I don't know, it's a weird mixture of angst with the system and a bit of guilt towards my parents

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

Why? I was always so excited when we got away with it...

Me when I have to throw 'Botttles of incendiary water; dig up cobblestones and throw it at those shit bastards' (sounds a lot smoother and better in german but whatever)

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago (1 children)

A friend of mine's kid snitched on him when he was in the right. Something similar where 5 and under were free or discounted, and he said to the ticket person she's 5, and she just decided to play a kid game with him. "NOOO DADDDY, I'M 6!" but she actually was 5. He said, no, you're not sweetheart you're 5, and the lady gives him a wink and goes "It's ok, she can be 5 today." He was trying to tell her she actually was 5 and he wasn't trying to cheat them, and she's like "don't worry about it" in a tone that said she was not believing him.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

That kid has a future. They understood the premise, found a creative way to use it, then successfully embarrassed their dad. That's S-Tier trolling.

The queue. It's a British thing.

Edit: your one's much better; just adding this edit so people don't miss it ;-)

why would cops get food for free?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Businesses that give away free drinks and whatnot to cops tend to have more cops around, and if a place is known to have more cops around they tend to get stolen from less.

Legal small bribes. It is why places like Speedway have a button for free police beverage. They want cops to stop by on their breaks so people regularly see cop cars in the parking lot.

So that they help you quickly when you need it. Not saying it’s right. Just saying that’s how it works.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Idk man, where I live, cops have to help you as quickly as possible when needed. Whether they get free meals or not, it's literally their job.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The problem is it’s hard to prove they could have been quicker

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I've been a fly on the world in the corporate world for many industries.

No one watches their mouth around the IT guy.

On so many levels, in so many jobs, it doesn't matter what happened - it matters what can be proven.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Whether they get free meals or not, it’s literally their job.

You must live in a functioning country or something crazy like that.

Protection racket, I presume

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

It's called a protection racket, it's popular in organized crime.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

Because business owners are bootlickers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

In some places, policemen are respected members of the community who help society.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Cops exist exclusively and solely to protect capital; and many businesses owners have deluded themselves into believing they're capitalists. However as they are not and have no real understanding of how that relationship works they try to appease cops instead of demanding them.

In this the Petit Bourgeoisie harms itself and shows it's whole ass; forever setting itself as subservient to police, who are subservient exclusively to the real Bourgeoisie.
