Why do people instinctively line up when they are trying to get in somewhere or talk to someone? What would happen if they didn’t form a line? Who decided we should stand in a line?

Answer:

Standing in a line to wait for your turn is a Nobel way of prioritizing the person for any specific task. Creating line is a push towards the standardization of society. The first practice of standing in line started from France. They called it standing in a queue.

This was an amazing concept and many countries instantly started copying in many official places like students were made to stand in queue in schools, workers in industries and the people waiting for their turn in any appointment.
