A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
When people don't alternate in the singles line. Or when singles stop using the singles line and go in the normal line. Or when you try and let the single across from you go ahead, but they motion for you to go, but by now the group that you're supposed to get to is the load line, and you gotta speed up to them so you don't miss the chair, but doing so you mess up everyone else because they're not expecting you, which results in:
A: a person who has half their but on the edge of the chair.
B: a person to fall
C: you're left without a spot so the liftie has to stop the chair to let the group get all sorted out.
Once you're on the chair you see that everyone is scowling at you.

I need friends who ski as good as me! Or a girlfriend...ss20 is single ladies :spread:

EDITED from highpeaksdrifter's 2009(LOL): People who are so involved with their Cellphone Conversations that they don’t realize the line is moving and just stand there.

I hate when there's no (or a very short) line and some people just HAVE to fill the chair instead of just waiting for the next one. As a snowboarder, it can be a pain to get off a quad or sixpack when it's full, so I enjoy being on a less than full chair if I can. I understand when it busy, but if there's a very short wait to begin with, come on...

This gets me heated too, if there is no line there is no reason to fill chairs and make the ride uncomfortable, especially because a lot of chairs/gondolas are not wide enough to fit their "capacity" with full size adults

Line place holders. If you're waiting for someone GTF out of the way. I see one person in line in front of me, and the next thing I know, 7 of their buddies are ducking under the rope to join them. Fuck you assholes.
