I go ask this when went to ask this receptionist And they
told
that you in order to have an excess here do you have need to have a ticket

and that line where

Being from the most populated countries in the world, standing in lines is inevitable activity for anyone, and I've had my
fair
share of standing in such lines.
But
if there's one thing I would like to
describe
, which Scott Predominant understood for
very
long, in the year 2016 it was all about exchanging notes. The Prime Minister of India at the time made an announcement that
people
had to exchange. The
old
500 and ₹1000 notes with the newer version of the same denominations.
So
at that point of time,
people
relied
predominantly
on cash.
Moreover
, a lack of digital channels for transactions.
So
cash was a mean thing, which. I was reading in the economy
so
people
had to rush to banks,
so
even I had to do it the same gesture.

A time I waited in line for a long time was when I went to
buy
a new smartphone on its release day. It happened about two years ago when a popular
phone
brand launched its latest model. I arrived at the store early in the morning,
but
there was already a long queue of
people
waiting outside. The line stretched around the building, and I estimated that there were at least 50 to 60
people
ahead of me. It took
nearly
four hours
before
I
finally
reached the counter to
purchase
the
phone
. At
first
, I
was excited
,
but
as time passed, I
started
feeling tired and impatient.
However
, talking to other
people
in the queue who were
also
excited about the
phone
made the wait more enjoyable. In the
end
, when I
finally
got
the
phone
, I felt relieved and happy that my patience had paid off.
5.Salma

I felt like I was about the faint

The
first
thing that
comes
to my mind is the await for the
Flight
to return home. It happened like The past summer, I was returning from Turin
Because
I had a
test
here to entry the university And the
flight
was delayed
for two Hours. plus The
flight
was pretty late on its
own
, it was At 11 o'clock of the afternoon I was
really
tired
because
I took the
flight
for Turin in the morning then I had to return at home in the afternoon
so
it was pretty Tired

for getting my COVID-19 vaccination final dose and the
line
is
so
so
so
long
that you know that the
line

so
it was
so
long

think
it's all of my most horrible experience I was in the
line
for such a
long
time and And it was super
hard
the sun was
literally
over our head and the weather was hot

10.Sumru Günaydın
I have a memory to
explain
it actually you know we have a created quite
good
project with my colleagues and the past time, like 2 years ago and the project called to 2c1n and
because
we want to emphasize to 2 degree with framework of paris climate agreement. Anyway there are you know lots of candidates to attend this project that's why there were huge lines unfortunately. The atmosphere was bizarre and I felt overwhelmed.
but
luckily
end
of
today
we can obtain lots of stories from the new peoples and that's why it's memorable time for me.
11.just_fmary
there are
many
times
when I had to wait in line for an
extremely
long
time
.
so
for instance
Last year me and my best friend we wanted to celebrate Christmas
just
the two of us
so
we decided to go to a restaurant. what we didn't know was that this restaurant that we choose was a pretty
famous
one.
so
when we
got
there we actually had to wait for 1 hour in a line. it was quite annoying
because
we were both tired as we
just
got
out of the work and then we
still
had to wait for such a long
time
in line
simply
to
get
the meal. at the same
time
although it was annoying and it was
still
a
good
time
because
on the other side to talk more to
meet
new
people
which provided great advice on the dishes to order.
12.Ariful islam Munna
I don't like to wait for someone who is special or someone who is not special for me
because
I was always in Harry and my mother always said be that I don't have any patience
but
last year when I was in my final exam registration line it was to be and I
just
always forget everything in this line when I was
so
nervous
because
my final exam registration
so
gaye when I went there I
saw
they are there a
big
line and I was at 53 at position and it was already 11 a. m. and the
office
will close
soon
at 1:00 a. m. 1:00 p. m.
but
I adolescent my mind and my goal is
fixed
I was
very
ambitious about myself and feel
very
excited that it was a great fun
so
I experiment myself that I was at 53 number position and Dev and in a fluctuation time all my patience has gone I become crucial at that moment and
respectively
the students were going in the
office
room and I was feel that I
also
go there and the when it's time at 12:45 p. m. I
saw
the
office
room and it was almost there
so
at the last moment I reached there in the
office
and full fill the form and complement that's all interesting story and nowadays story for me
because
it's
really
exciting and
also
it's all about my career and my study
so
I remember this.
13.psajan106
I have in the queue of
many
of the times and I will
explain
the one of the scenario of where I was in the queue for the long time. it is about the last year when I went for the passport
appointment
so
it was
just
ordered renewing my passport
so
I had
already
booked on my
appointment
. it was working like based on the token system
so
I was waiting for in the queue for my numbers and like I I was in the queue for almost more than 1 hour. I was feeling is that it was
already
disappointment for me
because
I had
already
booked the
appointment
and
still
I want to stand in the queue for almost 1 hour and I have
seen
that the
many
of the
people
who are the handicap and that
people
are
also
staying in the queue for the long time
so
it was
already
disappointing for me. I have a few of the suggestion. they were the like one feedback form
as well
so
I have
given
them the suggestion to
improved
that
appointment
system
as well
as the infrastructure to accommodate the handicap
people
and give you the
easily
accessible to them.
14.Anuj Das

i want to
explain
you my experience in concert when I want to
move
on a
famous
artists concert I
bought
a ticket and
moved
to the space where the
event
was providing
but
the Queue to this scene was
just
a huge I was
really
shoked about it
because

because
there was
a lot of
not cute
people
they have terrible smell and it leads to
just
a bit
bad
mood
before
the concert yeah it was not
really
Pleasant
16.Minh Sang Nguyễn
okayOne
time
, I waited in
line
for what felt like an eternity at a popular amusement park during summer. It was about three years ago, and my friends and I decided to spend a day enjoying the rides and attractions. We arrived early,
but
as
expected
, the park
was crowded
. The specific
line
I remember was for the newest roller coaster that everyone was raving about. The excitement in the air was palpable, and it seemed like everyone had the same
idea
of riding it
first
. The
line
snaked through the park, stretching far beyond what we anticipated. We ended up waiting for
nearly
two hours, which felt even longer under the scorching sun. As we stood in
line
, I experienced a mix of emotions.
Initially
, I felt a bit frustrated with how long we had to
wait
,
especially
knowing that we could be enjoying other rides
instead
.
However
, as
time
went on, I
started
to embrace the moment. I chatted with my friends, played games on our phones, and observed the variety of
people
around us. The atmosphere was lively, and the shared anticipation of riding the coaster transformed the
wait
into a more enjoyable experience. By the
time
we
finally
got
on the ride, I realized that the
wait
had heightened our excitement. The thrill of the roller coaster was worth it, making the long
wait
feel like
just
a part of the adventure.
Overall
, I learned that
sometimes
patience can lead to memorable moments, even if the
wait
feels long at the
time
.
17.Ксения Зябкина
Think
I memorized was in 2019 I waited in line for burgers the new franchise
was opened
in our city named Blackstar burger the owner is a Timothy who is the popular Russian rapper And the Line was
very
huge it
started
from street and I was standing in it approximate two hours it was the slowest two hours in my life And When I and my friends Did order and Took our burgers it wasn't
so
tasty and we
were disappointed
and we've never Gone there after this situation and I don't
think
that's a
good
idea
to stay in a huge lines when you don't know what result would be
18.Guest
the last time I waited in a long line was at the
petrol
station about a month ago. at that time there is new regulation from the
petrol
station that
prevent
unregistered member to
buy
too much amount of
petrol
.
so
they set the maximum amount of
petrol
that
people
could
buy
and they the queue was
so
long until they need an officer to
help
the car to park at the designed area
so
they won't cause a traffic conjunction at the time I felt
so
embrace it
because
I couldn't
get
my
own
registered remember and I feel
so
stressful
because
I waited for 30 minutes and I
get
come
to my workplace late
because
of that
19.Zahirul Islam
Now
I would like to
describe
a time when I waited in a
line
for a long time. A couple of months ago, I visited a bank. The bank name is Bank Asia. When I went there, I
saw
a numerous
line
, and it's about 40
people
. And this
line
was too
big
, and I waited for this
line
for around 3 hours. Most
importantly
, I felt it's
really
uncomfortable,
but
I learned
many
things from this
waiting
purpose,
because
waiting
for someone is not
good
or
waiting
for a
line
. It's
really
destructive for every single individual, I would say. As far as I'm concerned, I
think
waiting
is
really
destructive.
But
when we wait for someone, we feel the real thing about what happened and how we survived. All times alone. Well, afterwards I completed my deposit after three hours passed, and everyone
told
me, How can you do it? How? How is it possible?
But
I share my experience about this. I
told
them
waiting
for someone online is
really
destructive,
but
we
have to
wait for our
own
purposes.
20.Linh Huỳnh
well I remember when it happened in about 1 month ago when I go to the water park and the waiter is
very
hot at that time that's why
a lot of
people
they decided to to go to ice cattle and that's why
a lot of
people
they have the same
ideas
so
we
meet
at in front of the the eyes cattle and that's why we
have to
wait in a long line I remember that there are about more than 50
people
in the line
so
I
have to
say that standing under the high temperatures I mean I
have to
suffer a
directly
the heart of the waiter and that's his
very
terrible
21.Ali Hayder
Bangladesh is a
developing country
. most of the sectors are not well Planned. that's why we
have to
suffer a lot. most of the
time
you
have to
await for anything to I would like to talk about the
time
when I have provide for a long
time
as a my ielt exam is recently
so
I don't find the
enough
time
for me and to enjoy my life

time
for us
so
Stadium to port to

a
ticket
after going there with
so
there are huge
line
but
most of the
line
is not well decorated everyone

White for 20 minutes to entered the stadium enjoy I
really
enjoy the match it was a final message Bangla Bangladesh Premier League it was
