I wouldn't sail this ship if I were you

Four things that are bothersome

1. You join what you think is a queue, but it is in fact a group of people standing around somewhere behind the real queue. Or a second variant; a queue forms with two forks on either side of some barrier, and it is decided that the other fork is the ‘real’ one.

2.. The public toilet that someone leaves an unflushed turd in, which nobody else will flush for fear that there is something wrong with the toilet. Now it is out of use until some form of officialdom steps in.

3. The box of live and dead batteries; when you need one, you go to the box and try batteries in turn until you find a live one, and then put all the dead ones back in case there should be some need for them in the future.

4. It is painful or difficult to get up; but, not wanting to be judged for this, you think up other excuses as to why you shouldn’t. No intervention will work, and there is nothing you want to do that doesn’t involve sitting.
