" A Little Too Close For Comfort"

It had been my first time to Six Flags New England since middle school. I was with my girlfriend and a few friends of mine on a very hot summer day (if my memory serves me right it was a Thursday) . We got there as soon as the park opened, but the lines were still extremely long. The only issue was that the lines were becoming one giant see of people. For some reason, people were standing ten feet apart from one another, which made it difficult to tell what line some people were in. Even if I moved a little bit in each direction, I would bump into somebody else. I remember looking to my right and seeing a girl talking with her friend, who I assumed was next to her...but no...she was standing literally an inch behind me and I kept bumping into her. There were other people trying to meet up with friends that had no choice but to walk through the sea of people rather than go around because that option didn't exist. Once we entered the park, the situation didn't get much better, but for a different reason. People don't know how to walk. When you see someone walking toward you, changing direction would be a smart idea. But no, let's just stay the course so we can have to dive out of each others way at the last second. The situations that are easily avoidable but aren't can be extremely aggravating.
