  • Just One Sec...

    Let me set the scene: Borders Books, Weekend before Christmas, me at the register, and a crazy long line. A woman comes up and is about to check out when she goes "Oh wait, I need something for Billy." So she walks away.
    Half an hour later she comes back and cuts to the front of my line. She gets furious when I tell her she has to go to the back. I guess she figured since she already waited she didn't have to again.

    This doesn't seem uncommon. I guess a lot of people weren't listening when line etiquette was explained back in first grade.

      When people do stuff like that I like to say, "You failed Kindergarten, didn't you?"
      Time! Time! Time is what turns kittens into cats.

      Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

      I wish porn had subtitles.

          along those lines, we have a customer who walks in and stands in front of the register like she is about to order something. She has that look on her face that yells "I'm making up my mind, just give me a second. . . " so I stand there and wait for her, and the four or five other customers behind her wait patiently. She will stand there for a good two or three min, just standing and looking siliently at the menu about my head, and then just turn on a heel and leave. Not a word from her. People behind her are usually like WTF? She obviously didn't learn how to stand outside the line to make up her mind instead of holding up everyone who knows what they want.

            "I'm sorry, you entitlement whore, but since you left the line, you now need to wait in the back of it again. Too bad, so sad, bite me. Next!"
            Excuse me, good sir paladin, can you direct me to your EVIL district?

              Somebody did that to me in line at the college bookstore the other day! I was in line and the guy in front of me just left. So, I stepped forward and filled the gap. About fifteen minutes later he comes back with more stuff in his hands and says, "excuse me, I was in front of you." And gets back in line.

              Oh HELL no! I did not do MY shopping in THEN wait in line for 45 minutes so you could do YOUR shopping WHILE you waited in line!

              I'd been one thing if he'd asked. Or said something like "crap! I forgot whatever is it, do you mind if I go grab it and get back in line?" But no.

              I was pissed.
              "What size can I get you, ma'am?"
              "Red."
              "Okay...I'll check the red for you, but what size do you need?"
              "RED!"
              "..."
