All Queue Jumpers Go to Hell
What IS IT with people cutting in front of me in line lately? I’ve had women cut in front of me THREE TIMES in the past two days.

• Yesterday morning I was waiting for a bus during rush hour when several pulled up at once. I headed for the second one, which was quite full. Since I was the first one waiting, the bus driver held up his hand to stop me from boarding until he could see how many folks were getting off at the back door. While I’m standing there, this lady tries to BLOW PAST ME and climb on the bus. I actually stuck my arm out to block her and said, “Excuse me? I’m WAITING TO GET ON THE BUS.” Like, what the hell did she think I was doing there? Staring at the bus driver trying to decide if I was getting on?
• Today I went to the grocer at lunchtime to pick up some veggies. There were four cash registers, each with one customer being served at them. I was the only person waiting, so I wasn’t sure exactly where to stand. The “Fresh Express” place is sorta in the middle of a shopping mall, and there wasn’t room for a queue for each register. So I stood to one side, waiting for one of the cashiers to tell me to come over. While I was standing there, this lady brandishing an avocado BLEW RIGHT PAST ME and nabbed a just-open cashier. It was so quick I didn’t even get a chance to yell at her. At first I was tempted to give her the benefit of the doubt, like maybe she was observing the proper queue procedure and I wasn’t, but really, there was no way she could’ve missed me standing there with a basket looking expectantly at the cashiers.
• Not five minutes later, I was at Baker’s Delight waiting to buy a cinnamon roll for my afternoon snack. Not wanting to crowd the counter, I was standing, like, two feet back waiting for one of the clerks to be free. Again, some lady BLOWS PAST ME and squeezes into the space directly between me and the counter.

So what the hell? Does my “waiting” face convey that I’m some slack-jawed yokel who doesn’t know what she’s doing? Or are these people really just that rude, and it is my mission in life to catch them out and teach them a lesson?
