I hate people who skip in line! They always give you the same excuse.

Ugh, that happened to me a couple days ago. Popped off to Woolworths to get lunch, standing in the queue.

"Queue jumping BITCH!" and then finished my transaction. *feels ashamed*

Woolworth's? Are they still in business? In Florida, they are all but gone here, but I sure do miss having them around.

I actually did something about an LJ I had when I was in Montgomery, Alabama a few years back. I had a roll of film I wanted to get developed at the local Walgreen's, so I did the one hour thing. Took it there, filled out the envelope, and that was that. A little over an hour later, I came back and stood in line with about three people in front of me. I waited, no big deal. When it was my turn and I heard the clerk say "Next", the woman behind me bopped right in front of me, saying, "Yes, I have an order to pick up!" Well, I said, "No, maam, I have an order to pick up before yours, being I was in front of you in line, and you will wait your turn!" This lady was blushing redder than a tomato and actually left the photo counter to go hide. I don't like hurting people's feelings, but she had to have known what she was doing, then gets upset when I tell her this.

All the Woolworth's around here closed in 1991. My dad used to work there.

I just remembered one from highschool. I was a freshman and people had a habit of pushing past my friend and I in the lunch line.

One day I got fed up and threw a senior into the lockers at the back of the line and informed the line that I was tired of getting shoved and cut in front of. I'm just as hungry as you. Didn't really work but it looked cool and made me feel better.

Guy I threw didn't retaliate.

They are in the UK. Since iradney used the term "queue" I'm going out on a limb and guessing s/he is in UK.

Iradney's in South Africa. We still have some Woolies in the UK, though, one even in my local town.

the worst / best expierance i had with LJ's was when i was buying my cigarettes from a supermarkets service desk. it was my turn and and the female (calling her a woman is an injustice to the woman of this world) behind me darted forward and started blurting out her order.
i stepped forward and said "i believe i was next.. i'll have such and such"

once i got my cigarettes i went to the newsagent next door and brought the paper, and as i was walking out who do i see but the line jumper?

she had the nerve to say to me "it was rude what you just did". i responded with "yeah it's rude to jump the line"
