You know your queue number by heart (3783); the sign says you’re three numbers away. To make sure, you look at your queue ticket again.
Fifteen minutes later, you look up, and the queue number hasn’t changed. Do you look at your queue ticket again?
Then the sign says you’re one number away. Do you still double-check your ticket?
I do.
I do. Please don’t ask me why, but I do.
When your number is up finally, do you still look at your ticket again to triple-confirm that it’s your number?
I do. Again, please don’t ask me why because I can’t explain my action.
99% of the time, I can explain why I do what I do; this is the rare 1% I can’t.
Am I the only weird one here? Or are you my comrade in double- and triple-checking queue ticket numbers?
If you are, do let me know. Next time we visit the doctor together.
