.... two females walk in and started waiting behind me, talking to each other. Next, another female walked in alone and asked if there was a line. The two females who obvisly knew her said "Oh we don't know". So I spoke up and said very clearly "I'm in line for the bathroom". I know they heard me but they did not acknowledge me. A few minutes later a bathroom opens up and the two females proceed to tell the thrid female she can use the one that just opened. I found this very rude so I just walked in ahead of her sinice I was obvousy in line ahead of all of them and I even stated that I was waing when they asked. I heard tisking sounds as I closed the door, like I was the one being rude. This was a wedding so I left the sisutation as that, used the bathroom and left the area. If this was a public place I probably would have told these girls where to go, but sinice they were obviously a friend or family member I didn't want to cause a comotion. What would you have done?

To clearify: I am family of the groom.

The same as you, and had anybody said anything instead of just making sounds, I'd have been sure to remind them of what I had already said. Since you were there for the same reason as them, they should've been considerate to you because you too were obviously a friend or family member.

I went to a club a while back and the line was amazingly long. I got on, because i had to go really bad and a girl stepped behind me and started waiting just as patiently as I was, doing the pee pee dance :) Well, these 2 girls saw the line and walked toward the front of it trying to sneak in somewhere. I saw them eying where I was standing and I stepped really close to the girl in front of me, who saw this as well, and grabbed the girl behind me and pulled her tight into me so these girls couldn't cut in. The three of us had a pretty good laugh. Because while these two girls were looking for a place to cut in the line doubled and they had to wait longer!!!
I would have said loudly, sternly yet politely that I was next in line. I don't take that kind of rudeness well.

I wouldn't of said that I was in line for the bathroom I would of just gone in when a stall became available. That was very nice of you to say that you were waiting in line so that that person knew and when those girls said that she could use the one that opened I would've done the same just walk right in since you were the one waiting in line. They sound like they were very young immature teenagers.

I would have done exactly as you did. You handled the situation very well. It can be so frustrating, but people like that never change and don't even realise they are being rude. There's no point being upset over it when they are clearly the immature ones, and you are the bigger person. Eventually they are going to piss off the wrong person, and they will get what they deserve.

i might have performed precisely the comparable ingredient, if reality be told, something comparable befell to me interior the bathing room at a marriage reception; I reported something mild to the persons in line and smiles and not one in all them reported something in return, all I have been given became chilly stares and unfavourable seems. That became the final wedding ceremony experience I ever attended and that i visit not at all circulate to a minimum of one returned.

I'm gonna guess that they probably had a little too much to drink. Or maybe they were jealous because they weren't the ones that were center of attention that day. Forget them. You are giving them power over you. Don't let them have that kind of power over you.

you did the right thing IMO.

I don't see anything wrong with what you did. You said you were waiting in line. I mean what were you supposed to do? P*ss in the sink? Never mind these women. You got to go and they got something to talk about. Everybody happy.

Ditto. I'd do the same thing. When it's your turn, it's your turn. They were trying to intimidate you into letting her cut ahead of you in line, but you didn't let it happen. And you did it without making a stink, so to speak.
