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

[-] 50_centavos@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

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!

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 2 points 4 days ago

You're paranoid. Prolly just a reddit refugee.

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

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

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I've done that before. Massively embarrassing.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 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

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

I think you missed the Q.

Missing the what?

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

What if you didn't realize there was a line and just went to the front?

[-] scholar@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Then the person at the front of the queue must clear their throat until you realise your mistake and return to the back of the queue.

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

[-] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 87 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 32 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".

"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.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 33 points 5 days ago

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

[-] fossphi@lemm.ee 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

[-] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

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

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 4 days 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.

[-] Hexarei@programming.dev 3 points 4 days ago

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

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 5 days ago

why would cops get food for free?

[-] Evrala@lemmy.world 42 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago

Whenever someone from Japan visited us, they were always surprised seeing cops drinking or eating out while in uniform.

With time, I gather this is quite ~~uncommon~~ forbidden in some Asian countries, but I've seen it is pretty normal in Europe as well (wonder if they pay there).

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Never seen a free for cops in Swiss.

[-] reiterationstation@lemm.ee 22 points 4 days ago

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

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

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

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 20 points 5 days ago

Protection racket, I presume

[-] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

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

[-] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 12 points 5 days ago

Because business owners are bootlickers

All children are bullshitters

Assigned Cop At Birth.

“I’m sorry ma'am... it’s a cop”

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

Doctor that slapped the baby's butt at birth gets charged with assaulting a police officer

[-] hungryphrog 1 points 4 days ago

Late term abortion.

That child is illegitimate.

All cops are... babies??
