If someone cuts in front of you in a queue what do you do?

[PrincessPie]

Do you usually let them cut in front of you, or would you say something to them?
Or something else?

[just_tired]

Sometimes I'll say something, sometimes I'll look mean snap my fingers and point to the back of the line and sometimes I just don't care especially, if I'm not busy.

Completely unrelated to the question the picture made me think about this huge long argument we had in the army. We used argue all the time with other companies what to say when wanting to go through a line and be polite. It doesn't perfectly translate to English, but they would say "Can I pass the line?" and we would shout back "No! But you can go through!" and argument ensues. So pointless, but for some reason it was so funny.

[Cosytoasty]

I'd say and i hate this British part of me, "Sorry mate, there's a queue here".

WHY is it in our culture (and i'm not even white) to apologise for something we didn't DO! *facepalm*.

[PrincessPie]

I know, LOL we are ridiculous because we ever apologise when someone bangs into us, least i do, its there fault why am i saying sorry?

[Leibesgeister]

I guess it depends on the mood I'm in. Most times I couldn't be bothered, though if they catch me in a bad mood, I either clear my throat loudly or talk to my friend next to me about how rude it is to cut in front-just loud enough for the person to hear.

[fauchelevent]

I usually say nothing and just let them. I'm not assertive enough to tell some random stranger what to do unless I'm at work and even then I'm very uncomfortable with it.

[splashofyellow]

I give them a dirty look and make petty comments in my head. I don't think I've ever dared to say something out loud.

[PrincessPie]

Identical reaction to me lol, though very occasionally i'll say something if i'm in a certain type of mood.

[xZoeyx]

I usually let them. But if many people do I say something

[xZoeyx]

Thanks for MHO:)

[PrincessPie]

Welcome 😊

[InfoBot]

I say "Excuse me, we're British here and queuing is sacred. If you do not move yourself to the back of the queue with haste I shall be forced to tut quite loudly and go about my day".

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I'm like "Excuse me sir, but fuck off to the back of the line." I say this with the straightest face and piercing eye contact LOL

[PrincessPie]

Seriously lol? over here someone would consider punching someone for saying that.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I wouldn't say it like that but I would be verbally pressing them and if they did not move, Id just cut right in front of them.

[PrincessPie]

Lol politely tell them to fuck of :P

[PoliceLivesMatter]

If you cut me in line, I’d let you

[PrincessPie]

Thank you, though i wouldn't cut in front of you, i have manners queue jumping is wrong lol.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

*correction*

I would allow you to go in front of me. I’d be like “Madame, please.” *gestures with hands to move in front*

[PrincessPie]

I'd say thank you PLM.

[Anon85]

It depends on the situation. If I'm by myself and some teenager decided to cut in front of me, I'd probably just let him - he just isn't worth the effort. But if I. I'm with someone else I'll say something because they're wanting my friends' time too, not just mine

[Aizou]

Depends what kind of queue. If it's an important queue with people looking forward to the end.. I'll personally carry the intruder to the back. If however it's just a convenience store and I'm the only person in the queue when a person with one thing comes, I'll let them in front, no problem.

[KSGML]

Simply let them cut, and then give them the eyes, if they know you mean business they'll back off, if they don't then you do not want to mess with him/her.

[UltimateGohan]

I do this

[vodkabunneh]

I won't actually need to say anything bcoz in queue people get crazy here if anyone cuts in 😂 they would slap the fudge outta queue breaker sometimes and then let them stand at the last. 😂😂

[9teen]

Excuse moi, I prevent that from happening in the first place lol.
If it happens I'd cut back and smile straight in his/her face.

[zerinbaker]

Grab the top of their shirt at the back of the neck. Pull super hard to one side of you. Really hard, downward, so they fall out of the line and behind you. :)

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

If they do it and I'm a chill mode then I will let them slide, but If I'm not in a mood to be bothered I will probably say something which can lead to a fight.

I always try to take the high road on matters, because I know myself.

[2opaz]

the angry black lady behind me will usually take care of it

[Kaazsz]

I’ve never had this happen to me lol. Guess I’m lucky

[SirRexington]

I'd put my hand on their shoulder and tilt my head towards where they need to be. If they dont get the hint... well... sucks to be them.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I would just tell them politely i was standing in line
and they are in the wrong for cutting in front of me.

[CarpetDenim]

I wouldn't say anything, just try and subtly cut back in front of them.

[Robsinsf53]

Tell them that's not happening today but, you can "cut behind me"

[Uhhjsshshdh]

I take away the knife and tell them that they can be emo in non-destructive ways.

[Uhhjsshshdh]

OHHH I misread the question

[GracefulCharm]

I'd just cut in front of them like they did to me, but I'd look them in the eyes when I do it.

[clampfan101]

Pretty much let it be. Fretting over it with them will just make things take longer.

[weirdwriter79]

I do this, for real. I start making a fart noise see if they scram. Really. hehehe.

[Anonymous]

Ask them why they did that. And continue to pester until they give an answer. Not a satisfactory answer, I cut right back in front of them. If they stop me, they lose some teeth. Simple as that.

[Djan470]

Teeth. Great now you have to pay for dentist. How smart idea

[Opinion Owner]

@Djan470 Why the hell would I pay for it? They cut, they resisted, I'm pissed and they're dead.

[Viranda]

I would let them go. It would be ridiculous to waste my time doing anything else.

[CaptainSmartass]

Cut back in front. Or just give a sarcastic "you're welcome."

Simples...

[Dr_Latex_McPeggin]

I make sure that they and everyone else around are aware

[Mikester100]

Fuck em, those are the people I hate the most in the world xD

[Decentguy]

That someone would be dead

[PrincessPie]

Would you kill me if i did decent guy :(?

[Decentguy]

Naah, i'll make a exception for you

78.media.tumblr.com/.../...dnvgRekj1tsjqc4_500.gif

[Decentguy]

by saying that i mean, i won't kill you. i would let you cut it. Because of your cuteness. lol

[PrincessPie]

Aw thanks lol, I would not cut the line though that’s rude 😋

[Decentguy]

No Problemoo

you are soo cute lol

[msg812]

I would say people who are waiting in this queue are not idiots.

[deraz24]

Probably tell them hey its a line right over here

[SmoMan71]

Oh, somebody is getting pushed out of that line.

[CT_CD]

I would go to the back of the line

[Coconut_Man]

Depending on my mood I'll let it go 😛

[Anonymous]

I mostly ignore it...

[SuccessfulHornDog]

No, I would say something

[Guyofallguys2]

Lol people don't cut in front of me.

[Waffles731]

Stab them right in the back

[Flower-petal]

I'm extremely vocal lmao I'm like fuck no ma'am

[TotallyAlmost]

I usually politely address the issue.

[RedJacket]

Nothing. Because I'm the one who cuts.

[Djan470]

Oh ok that was u, you ll pay for it. you ll see

[frankinla]

Tell them the line is back there.

[Whyte_Myke]

They better expect a broken jaw

[blackgaletiger]

I would make a scene

[omgjassy]

What in the world is a queue.

[hasrett]

Stare at them.

[disgustingweebtrash]

Brutally murder them

[hasrett]

That's the spirit!

[BleepRawrsaurus_Rex]

Depends

[Djan470]

Call the police

[Anonymous]

I kick her in the balls.
