I can't understand queuing at the bus stop for instance - I've never been in a situation where there were too many people for the bus to pick up, or where everyone was especially eager to get on the bus first, so I don't get the point of queuing. And it doesn't make any sense when there is more than one bus line. When I went to Morocco I was annoyed that people didn't queue. At the post office people all compete to get the attention of the clerk. Whoever pushes the hardest/shouts the loudest wins.
