How much time it takes for somebody in front of me in line to complete whatever the line is about.

I'm sometimes super slow at the start of self checkout. If the bags are stuck together, not open, and if I didn't bring my own, sometimes it takes me 2 minutes just to open a plastic bag. I'm trying my hardest!

Ahhh, dude. For real. Have your fucking ID or ticket out before you get to the front of the line.

That is a 100% surefire way for me to lose them, no dice.

That's a 100% surefire way for me to have my phone snatched, no dice.

Or the people who are determined to discuss bullshit at length that is completely unrelated while there is an extended line behind them. I'm empathetic if you're lonely, but this isn't the time or place. Take your ass to a bar (you can order food/non-alcoholic drinks if you like), and you can run your mouth to the patrons there. You can also go to parks, live sports, live music, hobbie/enthusiast events, etc. All these events have people you can mingle with, but fucking lines with captive employees and other people tattooed behind you trying to conduct business isn't the place.
