What would you do when someone cut in front of you?

That was a very different situation. I don't really know what I would have done. I usually let people ahead of me if I have a lot of things and they have a few. And I'm not in a hurry. Which I usually am not in a hurry and I usually have a lot of things. I don't mind waiting for others but no one has just butt in ahead of me either. I believe I would say something. I would say something about her butting in like, Are you in a hurry? If so, then it's okay (if I am not wanting to go). But I'd make sure in a polite way to let her know it's not right for her to just assume she can cut in. She was wrong doing you the way she did and being a beligerent old bat at that, lol. It's a shame that people act that way. She was way out of line. I would not have felt bad for her because of the way she acted. You never know about how balanced or unbalanced this or any person is when you don't know them. She could have a problem, but being rude...well she needs to learn not to be that way no matter how off she may be.

Yes it happened to us several times.What we usually do is ignore them,at first,as long as they haven't step unto the queue.Some times we make sure that she can't squeeze her cart between me and the one in front of me.If she insisted on inching towards me without saying anything.Then i would give her a questioning look.If she really insist i would tell her to ask the person at my back if it is okay with then to let her go first.There are times when asked politely if they could go first,i would give way specially if it's only handful of goods..that is maybe 3 to 5 items.

I would not ignore the woman and I would not allow her to stand in the queue in front of me. I do get annoyed with people when I am waiting and they try to cut in. I don't think I would try to hide my anger, but I would not use abusive language or shout at her. Like you I would keep telling her she must go to the back of the queue because other people have been standing in line waiting for a long time. I would not allow her to ignore me because if she took no notice I would even push in front of her myself. I don't suggest physical violence but if I could position myself to prevent her taking someone else's place I would do so.

I think I would have almost resorted to violence. It's one of my pet peeves and I can't keep my cool when people try to cheat me like that. I'm suprised that she didn't move when everyone called her out on it. I would have a few choice words to say to her, Hehe. I think I would ask politely to begin with and then probably start yelling and say something along the lines of what that guy did. Sometimes people don't listen to you if you don't speak up and show them who's boss.

Let us just ignore that kind of people and keep our composure.

I would have done the same thing as you. At worst, when it is supposed to be my turn, I will tell the person at the counter what happened. I will say that the one in front of me cut queue. So he should serve me first. We got to be careful. Sometimes those people who cut queues are ruffians who are out to create trouble. Be a good citizen....so queue up.

I would try to be as polite as possible and do the same thing that you did. If I got pretty annoyed, I would cut back in front of her and then make my point to her.

I will do exactly the same thing as you did. If we ignore this kind of attitude, she'll do it again in another queue and ended up a habit. Kudos to you for doing what is right.

i hate queue cutters like nothing else. if she ever tried this on me i'd definitely give her a piece of my mind. it's so rude of people to cut queues. all of us are in a rush of some sort so that's no excuse to cut a queue. i would have done the same thing as you had. telling her nicely to queue up is best way to deal with such situation. we shouldn't be rude even though she was rude first. i applaud you for your courage and it's a great thing the others spoke up too. cheers ;p

hi lazeebee, well, i don't like someone cutting in a queue. similar with you, of course i well tell him/or her to please queue up. fortunately i have never met ignoring people like you have. usually whom i asked to queue up will politely apologized and do that.

Oh!! that is rude!!! Maybe she is not in her right mind? because people who have courtesies would be ashamed to do that. If she doesn't feel like being embarrassed even if many people had told her to move out, there is something wrong with her. Maybe she has a problem with herself. She maybe a spoiled brat who always get what she wants? Oh!! this is tough. This attitude could not be ignored. She must be taught how to respect others on the line next time. Nice words might help her to change.

How the hell she could do that? This shameless lady will get what she wants when she happens to do that to me. Just like what you did, I will first ask her to go to queue properly. If she still did not move, I will repeat my request in a louder voice, then again if she will insist, I will repeat in a much louder voice! If again, she will insist then I will ask the persons at the back if they are willing to let this person cut the queue just like that, for sure they will all say NO! I'm sure just like what happened to you many people in the queue will speak words against her and that will certainly move her. But if and when she still she will not move then I will cut her position in the queue so that I will be ahead of her and will let the people at the back deal with her. If they will allow then it's up to them, but as for me she can't get one over me.

I would really do the same thing as you did! In our University wherein long lines are the norm during enrollment, people who cut lines receive all the nasty and worst comments fro mother people. What you did was really proper and you shouldn't fear those kind of people because surely you'll have the support of all the people standing behind you in line.

I will definitely look at the person fiercely,then I will tell him or her that everyone is queuing,please queue up at the back. I think we should not tolerate with this kind of people, sometimes they just pretend to be stupid,cut queue and take advantage. We should always teach them a lesson.
