Queuing

It’s not instinctive for Bulgarians. Traffic brings out the absolute worst in Sofian drivers and you can’t queue at the Migration Directorate without someone asking to cut in because they’ll be ‘really quick’. (Bulgarian bureaucracy is never ‘really quick’). Apparently, there is a system to Bulgarian queuing though: you ask who’s last and then use that person as a marker to see when it’s your turn. After that, you’re free to stand whenever you want. This is agonising for British people who, even when they’re alone, naturally stand at the head of where they’d logically expect a queue to form.
