The British people are known as people who love to stand in line, but a new research shows that the British people are only about average at waiting politely in a queue. The French people are the best. It’s the Germans who don’t have a good habit of standing in line. They can’t stand waiting for anything.

The experts studied 940 people across Europe. They watched secretly as they waited in line. They found people who are good at queuing feel that they move along faster. For example, in Britain, the average waiting at a queue needs about three and a half minutes. In Germany or Sweden people hate waiting in line. In fact, people spend double the time as the British people do in queues. They got to the front of the queue without thinking about others, so they waste others’ time.

An expert had asked a person to break into a queue to see what other people would do. In Britain, people shouted loudly at him, but when he said, “I’m terribly sorry. I didn’t realize there was a queue.” People smiled and said, “Oh, that’ all right.” It was also found in France, where 80% of the people didn’t mind standing in line, only if they were treated politely. While in Germany everyone was angry and wore an unhappy face. The expert said, “If only they could think of queuing as an exercise in making the best of an unhappy thing, they might find
