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

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

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!

Me when I have to disown my 6-year old 😔

I drink my horchata warm because, Fuck I.C.E.!

Me when I have to throw 'Botttles of incendiary water; dig up cobblestones and throw it at those shit bastards' (sounds a lot smoother and better in german but whatever)

[–] Tramdan@sh.itjust.works 66 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

[–] musubibreakfast@lemm.ee 89 points 23 hours ago

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

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 32 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 8 points 19 hours 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 4 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 3 points 17 hours 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.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 31 points 16 hours 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".

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

"Never lie!!!"

Knock knock "Are their 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 queue. It's a British thing.

Edit: your one's much better; just adding this edit so people don't miss it ;-)

why would cops get food for free?

[–] Evrala@lemmy.world 46 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

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 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 14 hours ago

I've been a fly on the world in the corporate world for many industries.

No one watches their mouth around the IT guy.

On so many levels, in so many jobs, it doesn't matter what happened - it matters what can be proven.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

Whether they get free meals or not, it’s literally their job.

You must live in a functioning country or something crazy like that.

Protection racket, I presume

[–] pogmommy@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 day ago

Because business owners are bootlickers

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 11 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] yunxiaoli@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

Cops exist exclusively and solely to protect capital; and many businesses owners have deluded themselves into believing they're capitalists. However as they are not and have no real understanding of how that relationship works they try to appease cops instead of demanding them.

In this the Petit Bourgeoisie harms itself and shows it's whole ass; forever setting itself as subservient to police, who are subservient exclusively to the real Bourgeoisie.

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 5 points 13 hours ago

In some places, policemen are respected members of the community who help society.

Assigned Cop At Birth.

“I’m sorry ma'am... it’s a cop”

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 8 points 18 hours ago

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

All Cats Are Beautiful

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 22 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 5 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago

That child is illegitimate.
