Get in the damn queue!

[TakesallSortsofPotatoes]

Is anybody else irritated at people who stand miles away from the queue, so you think they're not in the queue? You either have to ask them if they're in the queue (if you're able to successfully get their attention), assume they're not, because why would they not be standing actually in it and walk past, or wait like an idiot behind them with a huge disjointed queue.

I'm also noticing loitering people blocking gateways, with no regards for anybody else who should need through. What are these people doing?

Anybody else want to partake in a rant at situations like this that irritate you?

Queue for the bus, people just push in self entitled twats

I too miss the queue gap. I hate people getting too close.

I also have back and hip issues and when they flare, I have to walk slowly. I've had people nearly knock me down.

Society is very intolerant these days.

I detest this, and have been known to step back and step on their toes Accidentally of course. They're like 'arrrgh!' I don't even say sorry. Can't say sorry when I'm not.

I do too! Especially with groups of ramblers who are typically walking 3 or 4 abreast taking up the entire path. They seem to expect you to leap into the hedgerow to let them past. I got so fed up, I now stand my ground and let them bump into me if they're either not looking or arrogantly expect me to disappear!

I took my daughter to an appointment at Manchester children's hospital. We were directed to an entrance and told to walk down the corridor right to the end and check in. Then said the corridor is a mile long so make sure you walk right to the end. Or you'll get lost.

Oh god they do this in Liverpool with those red electric scooters! Drives me mad!

Derby, London Road?!

Queueing for the bus and waitress because they were changing drivers. Someone pushed in front and wasn't happy at being told by the driver to wait. Did he think we were just waiting for fun?

I also hate entitled angry and aggressive people who need specific praise for doing the bare minimum decent thing.

Like the holding a door thing, you are SUPPOSE to do that as a basic act of being a decent person in a society. I mean what else you going to do? slam it in someones face.

I hold door open all the time, I have never once clocked or counted how many people thank me. I was going through it anyway most time (or occasionally saw someone struggling and choose to help) and the two choices are: 1) hold it like a reasonable person or 2) just walk of letting it slam on someone like a nasty cunt. Its seems an obvious choice to do the acceptable thing of spending a few seconds holding it as to not possibly hurt another person.

I did once however take great pleasure in pointing out (loud enough for passing people to hear) to an entitled and ablest twat who loudly shouted 'your fucking welcome' trying to shame my friend that they are in fact deaf and cannot physically talk (but they did in fact smile and nod which apparently wasn't good enough acknowledgement). They still seemed angry with their defensive 'well how was I suppose to know that', erm... because we live in a diverse world.

Had similar issues with people taking offense to my autistic child not acknowledging them the way they self impossedly deem acceptable, not everyone can just rock up and talk to strangers. Just because you are able does not make you 'better than'.

The very definition of a "Loose Man". He's just loitering aimlessly while his wife does the shopping until he's needed to pay and then drive her home..

I had a bloke driving a lorry do this to me on an empty open road once, when I was driving a convertible with the top down. When I realised it was deliberate, I got off the road at the first opportunity & waited for a bit before rejoining it without that plonker on it.

My bugbear is millennial women obsessing about their ‘perimenopause’. Get over yourselves FFS.

I cannot say I have really noticed that. What do you mean by this?

@OldMam Get over what, feeling suicidal? That's what I had to get over. Complete and utter overwhelming anxiety and depression. Some people breeze through meno, others are not so lucky.

Going to presume it means their opinion is either that millennials aren’t old enough or that even if they are, they should put up and shut up? In which case, no. 😁

Bit late, considering it's now June, but I used to have this until I was a teenager. Took my little sister to the loos in House of Fraser in Oxford, stood at the top of the down escalator and couldn't get up the nerve to step onto it. This lovely woman took my hand and helped me down, and said she found it scary too (can't remember her exact wording now, it was around 20 years ago.)

If someone reads this and you were the nice lady in the camel coloured coat helping my awkward teenage goth self down, thank you. I think about it every time I go on a down escalator, especially on the Tube. ❤️

And people with zero spatial awareness who block access while queuing. I’ve seen cash point queues at a right angle to the street rather than along it, with people having to step into the road to pass. Dumb Britain!

I think it’s a hangover from
Covid and people are still subconsciously keeping 2m from each other.
