It happened to me for the first time a few months back and it really annoyed me. I was in the chemist and this ugly stupid old annoying woman had skipped me. I was pretty annoyed but wasn't sure how to approach it. She blatantly skipped me, there was no misunderstanding about it. She seen I was first in the shop and was clearly in front of her. The queues had sort of split and there wasn't a proper line as there never is in any chemist.

Anyway... Do you make a scene and say out loud to embarass her into giving you your space back? Running the risk of her saying, "no" and you having to suck it up without giving her a left hook.

It's different with small old woman (mid 50's) rough looking! Be better if it was a guy in his 20's, as you wouldn't hesitate to tell him.

OK... you get the picture! So, what do/would you have done?

What i find strange is people who look disgustingly at you when you give off to someone who has jumped to the front of a queue ??? Whats that about ?

I rememeber in Spain 2 years ago - we went to a theme park. All generalisations aside, most Spanish/Portugese have a strange attitiude to queues full stop - so it was no surprise that most rides I queued for with my kids had some numptys jumping to the front of them - by blatently going under barriers/chains etc.

On 2 or 3 occasions I just let rip - and shouted something along the lines of "Oi - Do you understand English - and do you know what a queue is ?" - " Well here it is - so why don't you join it like the rest of us did 10 minutes ago ? "

Only to be met with loads of people giving me harsh looks in the queue.....

It still got the people who jumped to the front to move to the back though.
