Oh, sigh. I need help locating a title of a story/book. Tough part is I never read it, but it was described to me by my aunt who loved the book as a youngster (she's now in her late 50's/early 60's). [more inside]

ID That Story: novel (novella? short story?) in which a man is standing in line. Pretty much the entire story is his experience while waiting in line. It's a future/dystopia story. The man is waiting in line to make a complaint. He falls in love with the girl in front of him, though she's not allowed to turn and look at him. It's a parable about overpopulation. It was probably written in the 60s or 70s. That's all I remember.

The title of the novel also appears in the book as a chapter title. Apparently, there's a name for it. What's it called?

Can anyone suggest the title/ author of a book I once heard about? It contains dozens of conversation starters - things like (and I paraphrase): "If you were offered to live forever, but only on condition that you were ugly, would you take it"?
