Opinion There are so many things in daily life that cause me never-ending unease: waiting in the kind of loosely defined wraparound line at the D.M.V. that makes losing your place inevitable; self-service situations whose unmarked rules the savage among us approach "Lord of the Flies"-style, leaving, say, the Starbucks condiment bar in complete disarray in their wake; holding my breath while hoping for the woman two stalls down to hurry up and leave as she hopes for me to hurry up and do the exact same thing.
