Boy howdy, when you say you know lines? You mean it. Holy Crapola. Know what happens to me? I walk into a school, I show my ID, I vote in one of those nifty electronic button pushing booths, I exit, stop at the boy scout bake sales and get in my car. Total time spent: 10 minutes. This is NJ. I don't do lines.
You are brave and graced with mucho patience, woman.
This was NOTHING compared to the line to get PAPERWORK from FEMA. THAT was a NINE HOUR HORROR. For them to give you a FORM. Gah. This was just a very bizarre way to loiter outside.
CRAP. I forgot to add the part about the loiter sign!!!! There a "No Loitering Sign" on the side of the library that was mocked. Several people took pictures.
Also - what you described is what happens on voting day for me. This was just because I couldn't take time off on Tuesday and didn't want to risk getting out too late to vote.
"So this is not quite as daunting to us as it might be to you."
Hey...I'm British...we invented waiting in line (we call it queueing), and we do it all the time for everything. In fact, sometimes we'll queue up to then stand in a queue for something else.
See...we get amazed when we visit Florida and you have all those railings in your theme parks to force people to queue...we just do that naturally...
That said, one thing I have NEVER waited in line to do is vote...usually when I go to vote the organising type people are mildly surprised to see someone...

The railings are for the French and other foreigners. We get the concept.
I've NEVER waited to vote before. We usually walk to the poll and I think the longest from us leaving the house to getting back home has been an hour. I did think it would be better to wait until Tuesday... but then the Line Would Win. The Line CANNOT Win.

But if I slept late or was kept late... and with my knee...
On voting day, I don't think it's ever taken me more than an hour and that's including the travel time - we walk to our poll.
Mom blames the FL Line Must Not Win on Disney World and other theme parks.
