As you say, waiting in line or whatever is just an opportunity to encounter people you don't already know which in turn, just might lead to new friendships.
Once the "new" wears off, many places calm down. Everyone is always anxious to explore new territory. The more places we have access to, the lesser the crowding will be a problem. Of course, there are those (such as the ones I mentioned) that will always have a problem when things don't go their way. They just don't realize that they are the problem...not the other way around.
Don't get discouraged. Just continue to look forward to being here. We're frogs and proud of it. We are thankful to our non-frogs because they are what keeps the wheels oiled during the off-peak times.

There was a place we used to go to in the burbs of Chicago, Bogarts in Tinley Park. You couldn't make a reservation and the wait was NEVER less then an hour and you were lucky if you got in then. They had a large horse shoe bar and everyone would sit or stand around the bar and have appetizers and drinks and chat! We had soooo much fun there. It was said that when you went to Bogarts for Dinner, it wasn't a part of the evening.... It WAS the evening!!
Dillywho, you are so right. The opportunity to meet new people. Who cares??? We are retired?
