queue system

On the roads, the guy who wants to take a right turn would not come behind the guys who are already waiting at the red signal. Rather he goes to straight line or even left turn line (if there is space) and puts on a right indicator. He just blocks such lane (many a times there are either free/blinking straights/left turns). In the medical shops, banks, buying popcorns in movie theater, getting into a city bus wherever you mention it, at many instances people just don't respect queue. At the baggage collection at the conveyor belt in the Bengaluru airport, nobody respects yellow line (if you are not next to the belt, it is hard to identify your luggage and if you identify it, taking it out is even harder). In western countries, whenever they such a rush possibility, people just align themselves in a line or wait for one by one to take the service. Why can't we behave like that. At many places authorities are the ones should apply their heads to start enforcing queues. Manual tokens/automated queue number generator boxes should not take much cost. Many a times multiple queues are maintained rather than single queue. Once some queue server delays due to any reason, the guys in that queue are held up. Okay this is not that serious, but many a times it could be implemented to have a single queue-multiple server system.

Anyway, coming back to people's attitude to just to rush. Such rush creates opportunities for thieves. Recent visit to Mysore Palace, such a rush cost me my latest Nokia N95 phone. At around 19:00, they lit the palace with thousands of lights. There was a huge rush to get into the palace campus to see this. Though a queue was started, people just did not go there, but started accumulating near the entrance. There was a security check for all, which was delaying. Suddenly when it became 19:00 people not in the queue started pushing to get inside. Suddenly police started to push these guys backward. In such sudden movement, somebody picked up my phone from my pocket which I felt but could not identify the person who did because of crowd. Unfortunate!! Most of the times, whenever I see rush, I usually step back even if I don't get seat/get inside on time etc. But this time some how I get carried to the entrance while talking to a relative, also the rush suddenly erupted when the police started pushing. Gave the police complaint, but did not get convinced that they would trace the phone. Besides, another two points: first one, when rush started, people were entering around (not inside) the detector box and no police was interested in enforcing them; second point after 10-15 minutes, there was no rush at all (felt very sad looking at it, I could have entered at that time!).

Being techno-geek, I have started to experiment (with this device) the GPS, videos, usage music/video player/fm radio, browsing, usage of WLAN (with hoem wlan), games (also playing it by connecting to tv), widgets, million other applications/services. But after I lost this phone, I no more have the appetite/energy/interest to have another similar device. I feel that this is useless to have in India, rather use a simple phone.

Coming to appetite part, there are so many dents/scratches on my car, and I don't feel like correcting them. There is no point in spending money on that as those things keep happening, because the way traffic on the road goes, the way people park and open their car door, etc. In our apartment complex, so many cars are in similar shape. A friend of mine was keep correcting such dents, finally insurance guy told him to hold on all the repair works, get it done when he is planning to sell the car.

Why we can't have proper system? Why people don't use common sense?
