Never again
I still touch type, I rarely use a computer these days though so I probably need to brush up a bit.
Cool. I'm a one finger typer.

Seriously? Isn't that tedious?
I hate apple. Ever since my primary school days in the 90s I've had a very low opinion of anything related to apple because of these computers that were in my classrooms:

To me;
Apple = the Atari of the pc world.

first computer we owned ... husband got a deal on it as company he was working for ran a consumer competition and was offering them as a prize ...
neither of us really knew how to use it so just fiddled around with it a bit like a toy and tried to follow the manual ... then some mongrel decided to break into our little semi and stole it! (along with some more precious possessions and memories)
I used to be a pushover when this happened to me, now I tell them the line is back there. I just hope they don't answer back, thankfully no one has yetOK it's scruple time! I was in the Post Office waiting after a 25 minute wait in the queue. With only one person in front of him, young businessman in front of me leaves the queue to browse and buy more things in aisles 6 and more metres away. No pre-arrangement, no words. He then many minutes later enters the front of the queue trying to re-assume position with new items. No eye contact, just slidey temerity. When person in front progresses to be served I pull off the eclipse of the century asserting without words the queue order. He says excuse me.
I could and would give way if any pre-arrangement courtesy was shown, or contrition when trying to slide back in, but there was none. Beyond that, He left the queue. Fact. If everyone left the queue it would be bedlam. It's a big city. You don't leave the queue. Arms length rule applies. If the queue moves a step forward due to you leaving, you've left.
They know, they just hope you don't say anything. IdiotsPeople who leave the line should know that they have given up their right to be in the spot that they are in when they have returned.

I think I heard more sassa-frazza-razza than phwoarare you sure he wasn't checking out your ass? (just saying ... might not have been your shoulder ...)
I'm researching it online on firstworldproblems.org and it's all about the pre-agreement or grovelling re-entry when attempting to return.
He just re-entered, no eye contact and there we are awkwardly standing side-by-side. When the queue advanced, before he knew it he was staring at my shoulder.
In Russia they do this thing where when they join a queue, they make eye contact and npd at the person in front, and eventually behind them. Then, if they remember they need something, or need to buy a drink (or a meal - Russian queues can be long,) there isn't a problem.OK it's scruple time!
