Without even knowing what each line was leading to he stood for hours, sometimes vacating a line before taking a particular ride to join a different line. Good thing he went on his own.

Etymology: queue (a line or sequence of people or vehicles awaiting their turn to be attended to or to proceed) + compulsion (an irresistible urge to behave in a certain way)
