“An orderly queue is a wonderful thing. It’s far more than just the most practical and fair way of ensuring everybody gets their turn and share of attention. It’s a place where everybody is equal before the iron hands of time. Something that proves there are still standards in the world. A gentle reinforcement of morality. To queue jump is to spit on the very face of civilisation. Should you see someone commit this disgusting crime, it is imperative that you cough once passive-aggressively and then just stare at your feet.”

Queues | Organic Peas And Orderly Queues
Queue-jumping is my most antisocial behaviour, only committed on rare days when I am feeling so bad-tempered I get a little sadistic thrill from watching people who are clearly aware that I have jumped to the front of the queue but are rendered incapable of protesting it because of their nationality. Sometimes I do it in front of people who I want to impress with my badassness (I am in no other way a badass).
I would never do it in America, however. Because people would yell at me.
