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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

“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.

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”.

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

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.

The queue. It’s a British thing.

The headline is about missing a “cue” as in failing to respond correctly, but it’s misspelled “que” - which happens to be Spanish for “what”, which was the basis for my joke using Spanish question marks.

Yes, I got that. I was just primed to make some sort of joke of my own, but didn’t have such a good one. I loved your Spanish question marks :-D
