It's only cutting in line if you're in it.

I went to get lunch at Qdoba before I had to be in for work. I got in line which was up against the wall, with the last person being a couple yards away from the door. These 4 girls were at a table right next to the door gabbing away. Once I got in line, one girl comments that I just cut in line.

I look back and see that they are still at the table not forming what looks like a line. Yep, I'm in the right here. I step up in line.

Further along, as the good people at Qdoba are fixing up my burrito the way I like it, the girls comment to each other that they are going to be late for class. Yep, that sounds about right. You waste time gabbing without getting in line, that kind of stuff is bound to happen.

"If that's the case, then why aren't you standing in line?"

Idjibits.

I got something similar at a doctor's once. It's a walk in clinic...you come in, sign the clipboard, and you get called in order that you signed (or depending on how severely sick/hurt you were, obviously someone needing serious stitches is gonna get in ahead of someone needing a blood test).

So I walk in and go to the counter where the clipboard is resting. A woman who is sitting in the waiting room gets up and storms over with a rude 'exCUSE me, I was here first'.

Thinking she was waiting to check-out and had thought I was doing the same I said, "I'm just signing the clipboard."

She gets even more disgusted and shoots off with a "I KNOW, I was here FIRST."

At that point I said, 'Ok, fine," and handed her the clipboard. I had all day, no skin off mine.

She took it with a huff and then spent five minutes holding it, ranting at the poor receptionist about something or other before signing it and going to sit back down.

I still got called in before she did I think she miffed off the receptionist

I would have icily informed her that I had an appointment, so her being here first didn't matter.

It's the same as dinner reservations so you don't have to wait for a table.

(Yes, I know you still have to wait in a doctor's office, but it is a good put down to someone like that.)

And now I have the mental image of the receptionist quietly drawing an arrow from your name to the space just above hers.
