...and a guy called in by the name of Darren. When he called, he was sitting in the parking lot of a local Tim Hortons after getting his coffee, shaking with anger. This is his story as he told it:
He was waiting in line to get his cup o' mud, and the line up was streched to the door. Being courteous, people halfway in the lineup left about a two-foot gap in the line to allow people to pass through the line of their way to seats/bathroom/whatever. Darren was standing on the door side of the gap, and the guy ahead of him was on the cashier side of the lineup. (Read: Darren was helping to create the gap)
Suddenly, a woman standing behind Darren told him to move forward. Darren said, no, he's leaving a space for people to pass through. Suddenly, the lady sadi that if he wasn't going to occupy that space, then she would! The lady then started to cut in line. Darren would have no part of this, and he blocked her. Then he started to lay into her--he admitted that he used some colourful language. She got embarassed, and then went back into line. Sadly, no one from the resturant (or the woman in the story) called in to confirm or deny the story.
The general consensus on the morning show was that, yes, the woman was extremely rude for attempting to cut in line, and Darren was courteous to leave the gap. However, Darren lost points for cussing in his diatribe. I was curious to hear what you guys think/would have done in that situation.
