Line-Stander Zero to Line-Standing Hero

Let’s be honest, nobody enjoys waiting in line. But there I was last week, staring down a queue that snaked around the block like a hungry python eyeing its next meal. The object of everyone’s desire? Tickets to the hottest concert of the year, featuring my all-time favorite band. My mission? To conquer the line and emerge victorious, ticket in hand.

Little did I know, this wouldn’t be just any line. This, my friends, was an initiation into the secret society of Line-Standers, complete with its own unspoken code of conduct. After days of braving the elements, fending off line-cutters, and mastering the art of the “strategic bathroom break,” I emerged a changed person. A Line-Standing Hero, if you will. And trust me, the journey was wilder than a mosh pit at a rock concert.

Rule #1: Respecting the Personal Space Bubble

Personal space. We all crave it, especially when crammed into a line of equally anxious strangers. In the Line-Standing universe, this sacred space manifests as “The Bubble.” Invisible, yet oh-so-real, The Bubble acts as a buffer zone, a force field protecting you from unwanted contact and overly-chatty neighbors.

Pro-tip: Placing a bag or jacket on the ground strategically expands your Bubble’s radius. However, be warned: excessive bag-sprawl is frowned upon. Think of it like claiming territory on the beach—just enough to mark your spot, not enough to build a sandcastle empire.
