I'm quite curious about how this could be patented, since it's already
happened to me quite a few times to run into queuing systems that call
me back when I reach the front of the queue.  Wouldn't that qualify as
prior art?

(I'd have many more grounds to dislike the notion that it could be
patentable, but the "prior art" one is one where my viewpoint and the
law's might agree!)
