It’s probably this

Perhaps to emphasize that he is the only black person in that area.

Thanks. I was wondering if I was being rude. My SO has occasionally stopped me when I was about to say something to An Old - “Oh leave him along, he’s old.” I let it past but lately... fuck that. Old is not an excuse for being rude.

How to cut in line: DON’T

Did you end up going sun dancing naked?

Following too closely creates traffic congestion. You are the problem.

Yesterday I was third in line to get my morning coffee. This dude (we’ll call him “douche”) and his colleague were in front of me. He and she place their orders, and then douche motions to the back of the line and summons his five other coworkers to the front with him so they could order too (extremely custom orders,…

I was in England for a few months early this year and once queued up at Tesco with a full cart. So I offered to the guy behind me who only had milk to go ahead of me. You would have thought I suggested we go do a sun dance naked in the carpark, my suggestion was so shocking...

There is only one way to cut in line, the equal amount of people allowing you to cut must go to the end of the line.

I get annoyed when people waiting in line ahead of me have their backs turned while chatting with a friend then don’t step forward when the line moves ahead. You’re leaving a gap in the line which means line cutters can swoop in. Pay attention.

 The morning queue at your local Starbucks is much lower stakes

I have ZERO hesitation on calling someone out who cuts. Unless you were already in line and ask to leave briefly for a bathroom or coffee run, don’t bother. I simply will make you out for the ass that you are in front of x number of people no matter who you are. I’ve done it at airports, movie premieres, you name…

The real lesson here is to always call someone out when they cut in front of you, and if they ask if they can cut, say no.

Um, no. F this.

Line cutting was how people made everyone hate them before social media.

Also, ask everyone behind the person you want to cut in front of because you’re also cutting in front of them. Or you can pull a Lifehacker, aka, how to get away with being a douche if you possess a certain level of privilege and a disinterest in other peoples’ priorities.

If you try cutting in line in Canada, anywhere, I will find you, and give you the most withering, silent glare, you have ever seen.

In my experience, not tolerated in Canada neither, thanks. The nerve of even trying to ask!

May you live forever, Mr. Cosby. You’re not dying your way out of this conviction.
