Waiting in Line

Obviously waiting in line is a miserable thing.  No one likes waiting in line, no matter where it is.  Wasting time is never a good.  But the worst thing about waiting in line is overhearing the conversations of the people in front or behind you.
On almost every occasion, these people will not be discussing something you want to hear.  I'd say 90% of the time they are talking about something stupid or obnoxious.  It's pretty much guaranteed it has no relevance to you.  But worse, it's usually something that just gets on your nerves.  One notable gem from recent line memory was this guy and girl behind me talking about TV and movies.  The girl tells the guy, "You know I don't watch the Chappelle Show, it's a comedy."  WHAT?  Who could stand talking to someone who's taste in things excludes comedies?  God damn.  And I don't want to make the guy out to be any better.  He was a huge majd.  When the girl asked what Disney movie featured an Egyptian prince, he answered, "Oh, The Emperor's New Groove." Obviously not.  It's clearly the fucking Prince of Egypt and The Emperor's New Groove is a hilarious movie that should never be mistaken. They went on to discuss many more things too horribly stupid to mention.
This is just one example of the kind of conversations you're likely to hear in line.  Besides having to deal with ugly, smelly people, we also have to put up with their stupidness.  I could do without that.  But sadly, it's unavoidable.  On very rare occasions you'll actually overhear something interesting like a discussion of the montages in Rocky 4.  These are the kind of moments that allow you to put up with all other terrible times in line.
