Had some sneaky women push in a queue i was in today. She saw a friend in the queue who gestured her to jump the long queue and join her near the front. I was very tempted to say something but thought better of it. |

You'd blow a gasket on buses around here. People no longer wait patiently for others who have been waiting longer to get on. It's every man,woman,child,pensioner,buggy pusher and shopping trolley person for themselves. |

"Never, ever be afraid to say anything when it comes to queues. If it's a matter of principle give them hell!!

"I don't think a firm 'excuse me, there's a queue' would have been out of the question."
I go with a "There's a queue here you know!" It's always followed by a muttered apology and an embarrassed shuffle off to the back of the line. |

That's a tricky one because the friend could have been getting something the the queing friend forgot. The friend in the queue could pay for the stuff so technically only one person is getting served and the person was already at the front of the queue. |

No i did think that at first, but this woman paid for her stuff herself so was proper queue jumping. |

"I did once and got headbutted for my trouble lol.
Exactly. Unless you want to be punched or stabbed it's probably best to just let it go."
Punched or stabbed? 
I think you shop in the wrong stores....

Same as those lycra-clad bastards on bikes! If I drove my car straight to the front of a traffic queue, I'd expect a smack in the teeth. It's a QUEUE!!! Deal with it!! |

I was waiting patiently to get on a train in London. Trampled I was. Like an utter twat.  |

I dislike London for 2 reasons, far too many people making me feel quite claustrophobic and the multitude of rude and ignorant people who have no manners in public spaces.
To the OP, yes, I would have said something and have done on numerous occasions, their need is no greater than mine so get behind me please. |

"It depends what I'm queuing for.
Life's too short to lose my shit over petty stuff.
Provided it wasn't the coffee queue I reckon I'd let it slide. "
Never let it slide
Always stand your ground .
The fuckers need to learn

Hell yes to this no one comes between me and coffee.
Bus queue? I would just sit on their knee, they would soon regret that decision |

once had a woman jump in front of me at a self service supermarket checkout. As she pushed in she muttered "sorry,running late, needs must"
I let her scan her meal deal: sandwich, drink & crisps then I walked over, took her crisps opened them and ate one while saying "sorry needs must" she looked at me gobsmacked then just turned round without her lunch and left the shop

Londoners are scary.

It's nice to stand in a queue with your mates though, well better than being in one on your own.
If you'd made me go to the back of the queue i'd have just talked loudly to them from the back and pissed you off more. |

I saw an awesome fight the other day in a cheap shop near me over a woman queue jumping when they opened a 2nd till!
Best bit was, if the woman who started the argument hadn't faffed about and got in my way, I would have pushed in front of her too |

Really don't mind if it's to join friends in the queue,
If they just cut in then that irritating, but it's not likely I will say anything, not worth looking so anal for something trivial, |

Really?? annoying her jumping in but your reaction is petty and excessive in my opinion
Assuming that is it actually happened |
