The Account of An Unreasonable Woman

Happening #2

There was this unreasonable woman (aka UW) that accused us of jumping queue while waiting to hop onto a slide. There were two distinctive queues, so the lifeguards told us to move forward so that we would not congest the pathway.

That UW saw us walking towards the other queue which was shorter so she started saying towards us, "Aren't you all considered jumping queue?"

She said it in a tone as if we really had the bad intention of getting into her way. But the fact was, the lifeguard told us to move forward. Initially we had the good intention of explaining to her why we moved forward, but that UW got really unreasonable.

So we decided to do it the hard way, and told her, "But the lifeguard told us to move forward."
UW replied, "Yes, but it is still considered jumping queue isn't it?"

She contradicted herself by saying 'yes' and still mentioned that we jumped her queue when the actual fact was we were just following the lifeguard's instructions. I mean which part of her could not understand, "THE LIFEGUARD TOLD US???"

I did not want to make a scene, so I told that UW, "Okay, okay, we'll queue behind you alright?"

Yes, we gave in to her but that merely lasted for 2 minutes. Why was that so, because the lifeguard walked towards us for the second time and asked, "You girls are in a group of?"

(He was puzzled why we were at the back when he actually told us to move forward a moment ago)

We replied "Four."
Lifeguard, "Okay, please move forward."
We girls pointed to that UW and replied, "We can't, she will scold us."

The lifeguard insisted the four of us to move forward to that original queue. Obviously that UW gave us looks but still we followed that lifeguard's instructions.

Hello UW, at times it is good to let go. You need not follow rules too tightly. Always remember, the rules are dead, while us, human beings, are alive and are able to play about the rules with a good intention.

-- I hope you readers understood this account. Say, if you were in our shoes, would you want to be wrongly maligned of something you did not do and get accused wrongly of something which was not your intention? Please, all of us should be reasonable citizens. That would definitely beautify our nation.
