I get the bus every morning at the same time, I’m usually Round the 4th /5th person to arrive. It’s usually the same people every day. I’ve been taking the bus at this time for the past 9 years. The last couple of months a lady who has her young daughter, maybe 4/5 years old has been using the same bus stop. Every morning she crosses the literally as the bus is coming across the road and always manages to squeeze on first even though the rest of us have been freezing our asses off for several minutes before her. I’m not even sure how she does it as the 3 older ladies that are there before me usually sally gunnell it to the bus.
This morning one of the guys blocked her so she couldn’t get on before everyone for the first time in months. The point is I usually let those with kids and pushchairs in front of me, but there’s just something about how she is a cf that rubs me the wrong way.

@Cherries101 I am from a European country where not only we queue, but the queues are form from dust as the bus approaches because the stops are there for several buses
By the time the bus arrives you have talked to everyone there about where you are headed and what they are eating for lunch, by the time the bus the queue naturally happens

Op if you like being polite and getting on last I cannot see the problem. She's happy and you're doing what you'd do anyway. If it bothers you just tell her. Who knows maybe you'll strike up a conversation and overcome your differences.
Confused at thinking that having a Muslim friend is good evidence for not being racist though. It's really not!

Whilst it's obviously offensive to dismiss someone who isn't British as ignorant, it isn't racist.

Racism is about someone's race. Comments like the OP's are xenophobic.
