How do you feel about people who push in?

[thedonz]

I'm sure we have had it all done to us . You turn up early then some latecomer sneaks in for a prime position.

Or you can't get a seat because a party of people are saving them for others.

What do you do?

Get this a lot on my bus, I pull up to a stop and see someone not even at the bus stop walking towards it (usually a man) he just steps up on the foot plate in front of everyone, I say very loudly "What a Gentleman you are" they never say anything.

Went for some blood test's at the Hospital last Monday, I took my numbered ticket and sat down waiting my turn, this man and woman walked into the waiting room and walked to the entrance door just as a number was called on the system, they talked to a Nurse who was just about to seat the women for the test as I walked up and said "Are these tickets working or can we just walk in ?" the Nurse asked the women for her ticket which she didn't have and was told to take one and sit down and wait, the daggers she gave me made me smile, some folk are just ignorant and selfish.

I am rude and obnoxious at the best of times, just try and push in, in front of me?

If I'm in a long queue at a match or other public event and somebody walks up to ' talk to a mate' , 9 times out of 10 I've found they just blend in with the queue.

I have never heard anyone challenge them. Maybe we've all done that at one time or another and no one's bothered.

Don't go abroad then, they don't even queue.

Car queue jumpers do annoy me. The road signs say one lane ahead and traffic merges, then some clever Richards zoom down past every one and push in as the road is narrowing. I have been known to move out and keep my place in the right hand lane to stop these folk, but some go wild and one even overtook me by going onto the central reservation gravel.

Getting drinks at the bar can lead to big fall outs .

Sometimes you can miss a queue and in all innocence be seen as trying to push in. Fair do's and luckily someone may politely point the queue out to you.

But even when it's obvious there is a queueing system , others try to bypass it by trying to start their own cue. It then opens the door for other opportunists to stand behind them in an attempt to start another cue. That requires a cool head.

Situations get fraught when you have weak bar staff who let pushers in get away with it eg regulars being given preferential treatment.

There are ways to show up the queue jumper without tearing their head off. Humiliation being the best and getting the people in the queue on your side.

I've always pushed in as I'm 6ft 13 " and weigh 20 stone ..

Not pushing in, but last year we were sat in a packed stand at Pontefract racecourse, waiting for a race to start, when a rather large lady waddled down the steps to the front of the stand, and planted herself right in front of a 'Please do not stand on the steps' sign, thus obscuring the view of the racecourse for every one sat in the vicinity. I couldn't believe she was going to remain standing there, but she did, until the race was just about to start, when she was advised by several of the good folk of Yorkshire to get herself back up the steps to the rear of the grandstand if she couldn't find a seat. She did, but she seemed reluctant to move, and genuinely perplexed that anyone had any objection to her choice of viewing position. I just cannot comprehend how anyone could be so selfish, ignorant, and arrogant to think that it was acceptable for her to stand where she did, but she clearly didn't think it was a problem.

Every home game this happens to us , outside BMW at Colne traffic lights filter lane.

I just get right up to bumper in front and try not to let them in , however many do let them in
When honest folk have been queuing .

Does my head in
