Have you ever encountered someone who cuts in the line?

It's irritating and I think people who do it are rude and crude and need to go back to kindergarten to learn some social skills, but I've never said anything or done anything about it. I support people who do speak up, though.

well i have a little attitude in me haha. so when a person cuts in the line i usually cut in front of them. if they cut in front of me. they give me a mean look and i just smile that usually does it.

yes i have and i say excuse me the line starts in the back of the line are those people pretending to know someone inline just to try to cut line in front of them.and you only been standing in line 2 hours are more this will make you angry.

if i'm in a hurry and the line is long i really tap or call the attention of the person intending to cut in, and tell him/her that the line is back there. i find that keeping quiet and wishing karma on them only makes me more upset. if the line is short, i have lots of time, and the person doesn't look that arrogant to be cutting in line, i just let him/her be. but this rarely happens. hehehe

I don't scream. I bite them outright. LOL! Honestly, I can't stand anyone cutting any line - young, old or sick - unless they have the guts to ask permission for health or other "reasonable" reasons. Being old and pregnant or sick do not excuse one to be courteous, right?. But I also feel disgust to anyone who can't even let people who needs consideration (old, pregnant, adult with children) to be first on the line. I usually ask and expect security personnel to fix the problem. If there's none, then I have to talk to the one cutting the line politely but firmly to honor the queue. If he/she's stubborn, I will block him/her and ask the one who is at the table to serve those who know how to get in line.

I'm pretty assertive so I make sure he gets my point. I'd start by staring at him sternly and if he didn't get the clue, I'd speak to him in a serious tone. I had difficulty doing this in China tough because I can't speak the language very well. I don't clam up and use the body language instead to signal him that he had to go at the back of the line.

I try not to let anger wash over me. Who knows, the person might not be in his mind at all. I mean, it happens. I was in line in a grocery. The line was curved beside the counter and there was this old lady who went infront of me. I talked to her gently and directed her towards the back of the line. She apologized and smiled at me. It was all cool. But if the person who cut me turn out to be rude when I spoke to him politely, oh I don't know. I am not the type who screams out in public but at times I'd let my mom do the job. Sometimes there would be a glaring-staring contest then the person would go away. Wow. They even have the nerve to be angry, you know? When they're told they're wrong. Unfortunately, most of these rude people are really calloused so I let karma do its job.

I consider people when they cut but only when they asked permission especially when they have a fewer stuff to buy like one ot two items only. I can't say no to older people or parents with kids. But I did once experienced this during enrolment two years ago. The guy cut a long line in front of us I was really yucking and telling him it's not okay to do it and he pretended he did not hear it. I even told the people who were at the counter and to my dismay they did not even bother to ask him or shoo him away to the back of the line. I felt like a fool in a place where people just allowed other people to be mean. Oh well, at least I did my part and I hope he will remember it that I humiliated him in front of the rest of the enrolees that what he did was not right.

Depends on how cranky I am that day. Sometimes I just grumble to myself. Other times, I comment to the person next to me, in a loud voice, how inconsiderate some people are and look that person straight in the eye.
