How To: Look Cool on BC Ferries

1) Get a Reservation a few days in advance*
2) Arrive with minutes to spare, and immediately get out of car **
3) Do not accept a paper if you are offered one by a vendor
4) Immediately, go to the nearest Starbucks vendor
5) Purchase anything that comes in a cup that says Starbucks on the side
6) Sip from said cup slowly, and do not look at your watch (occasionally, busting out a song at this point is appropriate)
7) When the announcement comes on that the ferry has arrived, without rushing, walk to car (or loading area for walk ons) ***
8) Once on ferry, run to cafeteria and ensure that you are one of the first people in line****
9) Order a Legendary Combo or Spicy Chicken Combo (anything else appears pretentious)*****
10) Apres******eating (preferably at a window booth), ensure that someone will watch your booth, and go to Ferry gift shop (purchase gum, smarties, mentos and a magazine e.g Rolling Stone, Elle, Seventeen, TigerBeat)
11) Read magazine, often looking up at attractive passers by*******
12) Once ferry is nearing the terminal, do not be fooled by the kind lady's attempt to scare you back to the vehicle deck. This warning is for handicaps, albertans and old ladies that have been pushed down multiple flights of stairs and need some time to get to their car before the boat docks.
13) Once you can make out people on the shore and call out to them suggestively, you may make your own way down to the vehicle deck***
14) Don't start your car until the person in front of you begins moving, or else you will appear too eager, ruining your whole image you earned during the entire trip

*if you do not do this, you risk running the chance that you will miss the ferry, significantly lowering your cool status. As well, if you are walking on, you may skip this step
** be sure you are wearing shades, and exit car slowly (e.g Edward Cullen in Twilight when he is wearing the Ray Bans), this will ensure the everyone is captivated by you
*** Do not rush, but ensure that you are back at your car before your line begins moving. If your line begins to move and you are not in your car, EVERYONE WILL HATE YOU
**** Do not be polite and offer to help old ladies up the endless stairs, if you can, push them farther down or cut them off
***** Do not be fooled by the cakes, they are not as tasty as they appear
****** After
******* they will notice you
