The number system is a great
policy
that only
government
clerk
s and very lucky
retail
staff can still carry out due to
insane
lineup
s of
snit
ty,
impatient
people with
petty
request
s. On the wall, there is a
counter
which
indicate
s which
customer
is being
serve
d and
client
s take numbers from a
roll
of
ticket
s to wait in
queue
. If someone cannot wait their
turn
, the friendly
customer service representative
will then point to the tickets and say "
Please take a number.
"
In my own daily
event
s, there are many
occasion
s where I'd like to ask someone to
please take a number.
Like when my
jackass
neighbour
knocks on my
door
look
ing for
weed
every
Sunday
afternoon or when my super wants to
discuss
the way his
tenant
s are frustrating him. If you've ever been called by a
telemarketer
at
work
, or if your
boss
asks you to go get their
dry cleaning
for them on your
lunch hour
.
The
applications
of this
phrase
are
infinite
, as everyone
encounter
s
bullshit
that's unique to their own life. I'm sure at more than one
point
in
time
that you've wanted to
tell
someone to
fuck off
. This is just a
polite
way to suggest it.
