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

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I've done that before. Massively embarrassing.

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!

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

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I think you missed the Q.

Me when I have to disown my 6-year old 😔

I drink my horchata warm because, Fuck I.C.E.!

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)

[-] Tramdan@sh.itjust.works 68 points 2 years ago

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

[-] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 90 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years 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".

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 33 points 2 years ago

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

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years 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

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

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

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Dang, your parents had you lie about your age? I know that my parents lied about mine sometimes (which was easy cause I was a tiny kid), but they didn't even want me to know, let alone take part.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[-] Hexarei@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Nah, yer not alone. we're out here. Just quiet.

The queue. It's a British thing.

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

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Speculater@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years 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.

[-] kibiz0r@midwest.social 12 points 2 years ago

That child is illegitimate.

All cops are... babies??

[-] Acinonyx@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 years ago

sounds like a totally not made-up situation

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Come to balkan ma frend, where people will force their 12 y/o to say they are 6 for free bus ticket 🙂
