Is it rude if.....

[TacoBaco]

I personally TRY (and I do stress try) to live by the golden rule. I would NOT do this to you or your family, so I would appreciate it if you didn't do it to me! So IMO, yes, its rude~!

 

[twinkletoesmom]

Really? Again?

Yes it is rude to push past people to join your family. Have them wait for you before joining the line.

Sorry i did a quick check & didnt see the answer to this. I am glad i asked because I must have more patience & compassion for other people than some because really in the grand scheme of things 1 person wouldn't make my wait any longer considering the would be going in the same car as the family all ready in line.

Yes!

OOOOOOOH, here we go. I'm more compassionate than you are, nyah nyah. Uh huh...

1person for you, 1 person for the person ahead of you, how about 2 people for the person in front of them...... how many until your wait gets longer? Huh?

Has nothing to do with patience and compassion for other people. Bolded is what frustrates me. You are not just 1. You are 1 of many at WDW. If you can run ahead and get fastpasses, why can't someone from each of the 50 parties in front of you too?

It is line cutting if you were never in line to begin with.

Don't apologize, in fact, I'm sorry you got some sarcastic replies. Some people here can't quite seem to grasp that new people join and ask repeat questions every day because they are NEW to the boards.

I'm with you on this, if it's one person and it's not going to delay my wait, what does it matter? In general and as a whole, people need to lighten up and ease up on the worrying about what they might be being cheated out of and just enjoy themselves.

True 1 person not much of a difference ~ but if all 100 people in front of me have someone else join them then it isn't 1 person.

If it is okay for 1 person then it would be okay for all. For example.... Soarin... that is not all in one car. So if 100 people come get in front of us "joining" their party then YES it does effect us.

I've honestly not seen it as a huge problem (just really at TSM) but it doesn't make it the right thing to do.

There are probably thousands of threads where this is debated if it is line cutting, if not, if leaving and coming back is okay, how you can't "rejoin" your party if you were never in the line in the first place.... etc, etc, etc. It will go on for pages and pages and pages of people endlessly reciting their same opinions of the previous thousands of threads until it finally gets locked for flaming.

Just saying... don't be surprised.

Is it rude to pass people in line while smoking to catch up with my family because I was pool hopping?

Just kidding, I'm board today

 

[eliza61]

Is it rude if my family gets in line for an attraction while i run and get a FP and then I get in line with them?

Generally I don't do it and I think it's a bit rude.

The problem is, as previous posters mentioned if everyone decided to do this while in line, I could see tempers flaring very quickly.

My very simplistic take is this, if you are not in line and you jump in front of people already in front of you then it's line jumping. Not nice. I understand if you're mom and jr all of a sudden has to go to t he bathroom so you get out of line but if I'm touring with a group we go in at the same time. No holding spaces.

 

[MissManda]

I personally think its rude but I don't normally make a big deal out of it.

I get frustrated when I see someone working their way through a long line with a armful of drinks and snacks for their family. Really, would it have killed the family to wait together and get said drinks or snacks and then get in line? (Especially when the person carrying the drinks is forcing his way through the crowded line like he owns the place and spills one of his drinks on you and then acts like he did nothing wrong!).

Nothing bugs me more than having a group of teenagers in front of you and someone their group keeps getting bigger and bigger because their friends keep coming up through the line to meet them. I think that the only time I've ever officially complained to a CM about line jumping was at TSM when a group that started out with about 5 young adults turned into 15 or so. I could hear them on their phones telling their friends where they were in line. Every few minutes or so another one or two would shop up. To me this was totally out of line.

I was at a different theme park last year and saw a fight break out when someone let one of their friends get in line with them. It was just one person and people were ready to throw down over it.

OP has been a member here since 2006 ~ I'd hardly call that a NEW person. If so then I am new too.

Please.... if you have read this board even on and off over 6 years you have seen this debate before.

Only if you run over their toes or hit them in the shins with your stroller or ECV.

 

[Mkebound]

I think it's VERY rude to try and cut in line. The whole party enters the line together.

You said exactly what I was thinking.

 

[khertz]

I feel like, if you need to ask whether or not it's rude, you already know the answer and just want someone to make you feel better about what you're doing.

Yes, it's rude.

 

[Jennasis]

The general rule of thumb should be, IF YOU HAVE TO ASK IF IT'S RUDE, IT PROBABLY IS.

As has been stated, it's probably not worth the dirty looks, comments, and potential hostile reaction you will get both at the parks and here on the DIS. Err on the side of caution and don't do it.

Maybe. Or maybe not. At TSMM if you squeezed through line to join your family of 4 people already in the line, you've just bumped everyone back a car because those cars hold 2 per side. Which is not really a big deal until the 10th person in a row does it while everyone else is patiently waiting in line. We'd ALL like to be somewhere else, doing something fun or getting ourselves an advantage for later riding. But we're not, because we're in line.

The entire party should wait at the entrance to the ride & then you can all go in together. Or you can wait outside while they ride. Or your party can step to the side at a wide place in the queue to wait for you to catch up. All of these options have one thing in common: they do not involve you skipping people who are patiently waiting in the queue. And skipping is exactly what you're doing, if you were never in line to start with.

And nice dig at the morals of everyone who disagrees with you. I'd just like to throw this out there: one might say that the more compassionate stance in this argument is the side that does not take advantage of other visitors for your own convenience.

 

[Offsides]

It is not an issue of compassion, in my opinion. We are talking about riding a ride. Should I have compassion for somebody that wants to get a fast pass AND wait less time in line than everybody else who also wanted to get a fast pass? That doesn't make sense. A family with their just potty-trained 3 year old is in front of me. The 3 year old starts doing "the dance". The mom leaves the line to take the kid to the bathroom and I let her get back in line with her family after that. THAT is more about compassion.

Like others have said.. you are just 1 person, but so is everybody else. And what constitutes a good reason for line jumping? "Ohh.. I was just..." Getting a fast pass for another ride? Sleeping for an extra 10 minutes? Having a beer?

I think it's rude, but I'm not going to scream at you or cuss you.......out loud anyway . One thing to think about is some of the ques aren't very wide and it's harder to get thru even if everyone is willing to let you thru.
