I was sort of pissed/amused yesterday when I went to this really popular deli for lunch, and this kid who was crossing the street near me realized we were going to the same place and literally sprinted ahead so he could beat me through the door. Dude, I'm like 10 years older than you and visibly pregnant, yo! Was the 25 seconds you saved waiting for your order to be called worth it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1040157 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:00:51 +0000 pinkcupcake 1040157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always say something. Ill be nice about it - I find most ppl don't mean to and are apologetic and will quickly go to the back of the line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1040116 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:53:10 +0000 heffalump 1040116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never say anything, just give dirty looks. Sometimes now that I have LO I will talk to her loud enough for the other person to hear..... very passive aggressive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1040087 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:47:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 1040087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If the person is old, I never say anything. Ditto if they have "extenuating circumstances" like a crying baby, screaming toddler, look ill, etc.</p> <p>I usually say something though, and always say something if they have the smug line-cutter look about them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1040066 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:44:34 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1040066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most of the time yes. If a person is old and seems genuinely b oblivious I don't mind waiting a bit longer. Sometimes I will wait until it's "their" turn to let them or the cashier know I was next. Line cutters can't argue because they know what they did was wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039945 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:18:34 +0000 Adira 1039945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've both said something and not said something, depending on the situation. Sometimes it seems like they just didn't realize there was a line or were confused, and so I'll try to be helpful and say "Oh, there's a line! The back's over here (or over there)!" and smile, like @lindseykaye mentioned. But other times, I'll just grit my teeth and roll my eyes. Although if they try to get directly in front of me, I ALWAYS say something. Usually along the lines of "Oh, actually, I'm in line right here!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039862 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 13:00:06 +0000 edelweiss 1039862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>it depends on my mood and how long the line is. if they're doing it by accident it's easier because i'll say something nicely. if they're doing it on purpose, i'll say something depending on how bitchy i feel (because i won't say it nicely). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039861 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:59:58 +0000 petunia354 1039861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to get better at saying something, in the moment, to the offender. I usually let it go and then silently seethe to myself until I get home and rant to DH. He suggested I cutout out the middle and just rant directly to the person cutting the line....smart guy :) Plus, I tend to be a pushover so I need to be better at standing up for myself, so that I can teach DS how to do the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039834 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:54:43 +0000 lindseykaye 1039834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually say something. I try to just state things simply like, "Excuse me, the line starts back here" and smile. I assume someone genuinely didn't see the line or some other honest mistake. They usually thank me because most people don't intend to cut in front of others. I know if someone was nice about it I would really appreciate being told that I was in the wrong!<br /> I actually don't think anyone has ever been rude to me in response, but I have felt bad that I potentially embarassed someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039829 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:54:04 +0000 MapleMoose 1039829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL I like that cheeky devil :wink: </p> <p>I just say "there's a line, I think it ends back there" and point. Not in a sassy way, just matter-of-fact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039812 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:48:17 +0000 Vegmama 1039812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so passive aggressive. I'm sure I'd say something to my husband. If it was at a smaller place, like, the bank, I would definitely say something very kindly. Like, "Excuse me, we were here waiting before you." ... At a big event, I'd be afraid they'd yell at me and embarrass me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039811 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:48:09 +0000 Boogs 1039811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always say something. The only time I don't is if it's maybe an elderly person who genuinely seems confused. And even if they are just asking, I figure I have more than than them. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039810 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:48:05 +0000 blackbird 1039810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL, "you cheeky devil". I said something to a family at the airport that blatantly cut in front of me and DH and they didn't even look back at us! DH said it was just my pregnancy rage. </p> <p>I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, and i'm also worried one day i'll say something to someone and they will SNAP </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039795 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:44:32 +0000 looch 1039795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say something, especially in the airport, when people cut in line to check in.</p> <p>I hate that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039786 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:43:20 +0000 Bao 1039786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I say things to rude people more to myself or the person I'm with, loud enough but not directly at the annoying person. It's worse when I'm pregnant. There was this lady at the store taking up the whole aisle. She looked up at me as I was patiently waiting to get through with my fussy baby. She continued to take her sweet time shopping in my way so I said out loud, no big deal I'm not in a hurry. I'm sure it's rude but really she was just as rude. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039778 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:41:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 1039778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: LOL. I want to yell, you cheeky devil at someone just to see what they do! </p> <p>I don't usually say anything. If the person is a total witch or jerk, I'll say something under my breath (loud enough for them to hear) or to who I am standing with. But if it's a genuine misunderstanding and they seem like they aren't being mean, I just let it go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-34#post-1039771 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:40:06 +0000 Mrsbells 1039771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If someone cut in the line while you were at the store or bank..? I was just at the farmers market store and one man tried to cut straight to the front of the line. Internally i rolled my eyes but externally I didnt show any expression but the guy in front of me yelled out "You cheeky devil, get in line" it was so unexpected everyone burst out laughing and the person cutting in line felt embarrased but he still refused to go to the back of the line and was just hanging out in the front.</p> <p>I was surprised the guy in front of me was brave enough to say something. would you say something? </p>
