R emember how people used to queue for Hello Kitty toys at McDonalds? Consider this extreme: You are queueing in line for that limited edition item and suddenly realise that it'll be sold out by the time it reaches you.

The thought of walking away empty-handed drives you to think of other ways, including negotiating with the folks in front of you. But everyone respects the unwritten rule of the queue - first come first served, get in line and wait for your turn.

Desperate and frantic, you decide to go bat-crap crazy and threaten to burn the whole store down if you don't get your toy, putting the entire queue and McDonalds store in jeopardy. Suddenly the store manager comes over to appease you, bringing you to the front of the queue, effectively guaranteeing a reward for your troubles.

Make enough noise, create enough damage and you'll get something.
