    Hug them from behind and whisper in their ear “Its ok baby you must be in a rush”.

      Be careful, they might have diarrhea, and that’s why they’re in a rush.

    Frankly, I may do nothing.

    But also, it depends on what the person’s purpose behind it was, like if they really needed to, idk.

    It may depend on my desperation too.

      What would you do if you were really annoyed by it, and they were assholes about it?

    Depends what the line is for and what kind of relative hurry we are in. Are we waiting for food in a cafeteria? Not a big deal. Seats at an event that is a first-come, first-served basis? Bigger issue. It affects everyone behind me too, not just me.

    I’d likely say something, but not create a big fuss about it if they’re dead set on it.

      The actual answer. Only difference is that I’d just cut infront right after and then say something so that social pressure is directed from both sides.

    depending on the person, I think it’s best to say assertively “excuse me, the line begins back there” while squinting and pointing

            Idk, people don’t usually cut queues, and after that don’t normally just ignore an entire queue of people yelling at him to get back. Something is probably up.

        Make disapproving looks to the people around you so that everyone knows how disappointed you are in the line-cutter and hope that someone will nod at the injustice and tut on your behalf.

        hmmm depends on the amount of people around and I guess if they aren’t over 6’4" I would probably loudly call them a fucking jackass and that’s it as like others have said, I wouldn’t want to catch a charge over a lineup.

    Looks like you were bothered. Why? That might help figuring out the appropriate reaction.

    Feels like you felt personally attacked for being the one they chose to cut in front to. If that’s the case, a clear “hey, please find somewhere else in the line to cut in front to” might be enough to get them to at least swap places with you. It acknowledges them, is polite, but firm.

    Execution on spot, it can range from medieval style to drone strike depending on my mood that day.

    There was only one time I had someone cut me and it was in a supermarket line and it’s because he didn’t realize the line went back into an isle and when he realized it he was like “oh shit” and went to the back.

    But up till that point I just sort of, raised one eyebrow but didn’t care cause he had like 2 items and so did I. In fact the line was like me and 3 other dudes with a couple items.

    Otherwise I’d have been like “bro wtf” and seen where it went from there.

    But also I’m the guy that goes to Aldi and if I have a cart load of shit and someone walk up behind me with like, a couple of items in their hands, I’ll just let them go in front of me.
