What do you do when someone?

Question

trys to cut you in line? (At the bank, grocery store, restroom, etc.)

I try not to let them in. I don't allow any space between me & the person in front of me. They usually get the message and walk away.

But if someone succeeds in cutting me, I usually just seethe quietly in anger.

What do you do?

Answer 1

I tell them that the end of the line is back there

Answer 2

It depends where I am. If it's a kid or someone old, usually I just let it slip, but if let's say I am in line for a ride (this actually happened once), and I had been waiting 2 hours to get on the ride. A group of teens slipped in front of me and I simply tapped them on the shoulder and said, "back of the line guys." If that doesn't work, then i'd say "Hey, I know you weren't here before so please go to the back of the line before I make a scene." Usually the people budding are very jumpy and unconfident so this tends to work.

Answer 3

I spent the first 30 years of my life burying all that anger and misdirected hate into myself. To the point where that pretty much happened to me as well, the first time I actually voiced my opinion I was so happy. Overjoyed, I didn't yell or cause a scene, was well spoken and very accurate in my words. And I have never kept quiet since. "Eating" up all that hatred and anger will just give you an ulser.

Answer 4

Depends, if the line is long and I am uncomfortable waiting, they will be very uncomfortable for the duration of their stay and the Company we are waiting will hear of it and the manager better fix it or it would get real ugly, real fast.

If it is a short line and they seem dreadfully stressed about time, I don't mind

Answer 5

I usually say "There is a line for a reason."

But if its an old person i might let it go if I'm not in a hurry, which is rare.

Answer 6

Say, "Excuse me, I'm sure you didn't mean to cut in front of me. The line forms back there." Point! Print a map on their forehead if they don't understand.

Answer 7

Yeah i do the same i would stick my arm in the front and ask what there doing, and then tell them togo i nthe back, if they get in well theres nothing you can do besides throw a fight and look like an idiot infront of people.

Answer 8

I have never had that problem. That or the "fighting" during Christmas shopping. Although, I think I would like to fight a person over the last copy of Dawn of the dead.

Answer 9

i just politey say the line starts back there sweetie
or
excuse me i have been waiting in line you should go to the end of it like everyone else!

or i just say excuse me not cutties!!! and point to the end of the line!

if they give me some look i give that look back at them! just because they think they are above it!
if i say something i they continue to stand there i'll just wallk up infront of them and be mean about!

Answer 10

i usually let them in front of me if they acknowledge that i was there, but if they act like they don't see me then i say excuse in a loud voice and smile, they get the hint and move on
