Fed up with queue-jumpers?

Queues are there for a reason
waiting 20 minutes or so, the bus will arrive and lo and behold, about 5 people with barge in front of me to get on the bus without any thought of queuing as they should do.

Does anyone know how to be queue anymore? I only ask because I am seeing more and more of a decline in people knowing how to do this boring yet polite gesture. I don't like to queue up either but it has to be done!

| 14-10-2008 | When queuing I've always found it to be annoying when the person behind you tries to creep their way past you. I've found that standing with my arms in the shape of a crucifix.
Try getting past me now. | So like how are you better than me? |
| 13-10-2008 | I use a form of polite assertiveness, so at the top of my voice I will declare 'excuse me sir/madam' etc works every time for me. | Osmium |
| 10-10-2008 | Well, going back to the lady with the pushchair, 6 kids etc. I cannot imagine it's that easy and stress free for her to get on the train with her large family! She's probably worried that one of the kids will fall over or get left behind or something, so I can only understand that asking yo...more | Rita |
| 19-8-2008 | what about those who do spread queing? e.g. Two of them in seperate queues acting as place holders. Who ever looks like they are getting served first the other will join them with their lot. Actually it's ok if you are in the queue where the person left of course. | sonofsilence |
| 23-7-2008 | I 've experienced this many times. I have a disability in my legs and used a cane for a while.
While boading a Southwest airplane I was pushed and shoved so hard that I fell. A lot of young people didn't get taught some common courtesy. Just like a lot of immigrants from these third world...more | Midwest Bred |
| 14-6-2008 | The fact that there are queues is simply a sign that the organisation and its services you are queuing for is ripping you off, by using and largely wasting your time and not theirs. They have costed it and are saving millions using the general British propensity to queue politely. Those millions the...more | Welcome to United Queuedom |
| 13-6-2008 | Queue jumping is a hate of mine. Along with people that don't say thankyou after holding a door for them or like people have already said, placing personal belongings on a seat to stop others sitting down.
I understand why some people do the latter, usually because you end up with mr/s body o...more | Grr |

| 06-6-2008 | Seat saving is only using your initiative. If you are in a group are you seriously going to all stand in the queue making it's length even longer. No you're going to sit down first whilst one or two order the food, makes sense to me. | kodkod.84 |
| 06-6-2008 | I alway jump a queue..Give me one good reason why I shouldn't! .. I just don't give a damn about anybody other than my family. I hate waiting with folk that are fat and smell. People pretend to care about other people.. But deep down they don't.. Thats the truth..Deal with it!!!!!!! | Main man |
| 06-6-2008 | Get in the Real World,
I was typing quickly and it was an honest mistake. The last thing we need on a gripe about basic manners is someone being a jerk and correcting spelling/grammar. 'Que' is actually a word and it is used in architecture (not to mention its non-English uses like Spanish...more | Always Stuck Waiting |
