I was helping a buddy in Cobourg move today. It was weird - he hardly had any stuff compared to what his wife and two kids owned...


Anyways, afterwards I visit the local Cobourg McDonald's. I walk in and stand behind this woman in at the counter awaiting her order.

She gets her order, picks up her tray and goes to her seat.

I begin to move to the front of the line at the counter.

As I begin making the two steps to the counter, and elderly lady comes in and plops her purse on the counter and begins ordering for her, her husband and three of their grandkids.

Normally I'm a pretty easy going "live and let live" kinda guy.

But not today...

"Excuse me, maam..."

...no response.

"Excuse me, maam?"

She replies, "Yes?"

"Are you ordering?"

"Yes, I am"...

"OK, because I was ahead of you in line, I'm next."

"Oh, well, I didn't even see you come in, where did you come from?"

"Maam, you didn't see me come in because I WAS ALREADY IN, STANDING IN LINE and you just blew passed me and started ordering!"

"Oh, well, I didn't think you were in line then"

I turned to the McDonald's chick at the cashier and asked here, "You saw me standing here, didn't you???"

"I'd prefer not to get in the middle of this", she replied.

The elderly lady waved me in, as if I required or expected her permission.

I ordered my meal and went on with the rest of my day.



WTF is it with people so oblivious and selfish to their surroundings that they don't even notice people standing in line?!? Am I frickin' invisible here?!?

If I had a rocket launcher, grandma would pay.

I find that this type of thing is happening more and more every day and I am getting very frustrated with people.

BALLS a thread with a blank first post!

I don't trust those old people. They're schiesty. Hell, when I'm in my 70's you all better stay the hell away from me.

Even people that don't understand the concept of lines and don't realize what they're doing piss me off just as the ones that do it intentionally.

I can't get past your snotty first paragraph

Posted by argonian I can't get past your snotty first paragraph

I'm just pointing out something I observed. Not making any judgments out of it, like that the married man must give up all aspects of his previous identity, or anything...


The other thing that pisses me off is waiting in lines at the movie theatre concession and some dicksnap goes right to the front of the line to get a refill on their popcorn or drink. Just because you bought something previously doesn't give you "front of the line" priveleges. Get to the back of the line!!!

Man, this thread is making me hungry. I want a cheeseburger.

I remember one day my boyfriend and I were doing some holiday shopping. While waiting on line we noticed this middle aged woman try to cut in line multiple times. This wasn't an, "oh I didn't see you there" kinda thing. This was selfish and intentional. While she was within ear shot I said to my boyfriend, "Hey, remember that show about the worlds worst customers where the lady tried to cut in line on Black Friday and got beat down and choked by a bunch of other women? That was funny."

The lady stayed put.

Actually that is one of my pet peeves, people cutting in line. I don't like old people either. Actually I don't like people PERIOD!!!

Rockets are a totally inexcusable and inappropriate response to being cut off in a fast food line.




You're too close to them, you'd catch some of the shrapnel.

Exactly. Pepper spray is better!

Backblast would also catch the people who were waiting behind you as well..and it's a one shot deal.. those other people might want a turn too. see? now you're being selfish

I let a lady holding a baby get in front of me recently. Bad mistake because the baby has pooped his diaper and the stench was horrible. And I mean it was a really heavy foul odor that caused everyone around to take a step back. This was at a restaraunt too, ugh.

That was a sign from God: eating this food will make your shit smell like this baby, and this baby smells like slow death.

Funny thing was the baby had this look on his face like he was delighted!

Of course. Shitting your pants IS delightful.

I also bet he could have cared less whether or not he got his diaper changed too.

My nephew is like that...drives me crazy.

There is something that bugs me even more than people trying to cut in line.

And that is people who take up an entire aisle at the grocery store just to stop and chit-chat.

You can't get by them, and they totally ignore you when you have your cart within inches of them obviously trying to get by.

Last weekend this happened to me and I said "For real" after standing there for a minute. This one fat ass moved herself over about 3 inches. Access denied.

WTF???

Just like how 2 cars stop in the middle of the street to have a 10 minute conversation...

...assholes.
