What do you do with people that cut in line to meet up with group?

[KellyNY]

I don't cut in line. I've said I'm one the people who truly doesn't care if people do it.

I personally see more moral societal decay from a group of people laughing at, mocking, and deriding two young and relatively new parents than people cutting in line at an amusement park, but, hey, whatever....I guess I should have just smothered the kid into silence so people could enjoy their quiet time before anything was actually happening. Like I said, this all happened while waiting for the pre-show to begin, I guess I could've been the responsible parent and timed the meltdown so I would have all the facts for you, but evenso, how long are are we talking about having to deal with a screaming child here? Two minutes tops? And that justifies rudeness and impoliteness from a group of people?

Knowing that many on here are the kind that get so upset by line cutters or holders and that they are also the kind who would support these immature reactions toward two parents trying to calm a crying child makes me want to cut every line I see.

And someone remark "finally" made you want to jump to their faces, speaking of rude reactions.

Made me want to, but I didn't do it. I didn't so much as turn to look at them. I just wanted to calm my kid down and get my family back together. And that's the difference and that's been my point all along. Not every grievance that happens to you needs to be corrected by some vocal note of displeasure or physical action. Just keep your mouth shut, keep your hands to your side, and let it gooooooooooooo......

But why should you have to let it go? Why are people not expected to follow the rules anymore? That is what I don't get. I would never block someone's way and start a fight about line cutting, though I may want to. My sister and I have been cut before, at Splash, and we let them by without a peep. But it was really annoying to be able to see them get right on the ride!

Standing in line and waiting your turn is not a hard concept to grasp. Why are people so sure we should all turn a blind eye and reward those who behave badly?

I get not wanting to be confrontational, I am not by nature. But why in a million years would you do this or would you not be frustrated by those who do.

Let it go because it isn't a big deal at all.

As for following the rules, many do not consider meeting up with their family "cutting" (I don't) so to them, they aren't breaking any rules.

 

[MikeandReneePlus5]

So to simplify once again, waiting time of someone who is cutting is more important then waiting time of someone they cut infront of. And to answer what do you do to others, I do not cut.

silly

It isn't a matter of comparing waiting times. Everyone's wait is the same. Identical. It's just that someone was hitting the bathroom or getting a FP or a soda while you were standing in a queue. And that, you don't like, because.... well I really couldn't say. Jealousy? the old "it's not fair!" complaint?

 

[maxiesmom]

Not sure why the link won't work. But Wikipedia states cutting in line is "the act of entering a queue or line at any position other than the end". They also state that "A negative response from the rear of the line is expected" and that 54% chance off people will object when one person cuts, and a 91.3% chance people will react when two people cut.

So those of you who line cut, you are taking your chances.

Actually giving them a look is action as well and this is most what majority does anyway. What you were saying before that something is wrong with those who is bothered by cutters, while you were bothered by remark, you btw completely brought on yourself. I surprised nobody suggested to take her for a walk after a minute of very loud screaming.

I think it is quiet rude to say, just keep your mouth shut and let them do what they want. Why? I will not block, I will not drop sarcasm for them to hear, but I will roll my eyes and I will comment to my family, so? Not only I suppose to let them cut infront of me, I also not suppose to say a thing to my family because OMG they may hear me, I may hurt their feelings. Sorry but this is ridiculous.

Everyone knows how line works, some just looking for ways to defend their actions.

It's Friday, I'm home from work, and I just have this to say...

"Entitlement, entitlement, entitlement."

Hope you have a designated driver...

I'm joining you, entitled.

 

[runsandjumps]

Wow I had no idea people wasted so much brain power contemplating lines and people jumping in to join their families.

Well now you know. But since when is a discussion a waste?? Of course you are entitled to your opinion.

And speaking of getting wasted and being entitled: and (I always have something to nibble on while enjoying a beverage)

No their wait was not identical. The person who jumps the queue is not waiting in line for the same amount of time as the person who properly takes their place at the back.

So let me get this straight in my own mind. You think that those of us who only want other guests to do the right thing and abide by Disney's rules are just jealous of the ethically challenged queue jumpers? Well alrighty then.

I don't think you read what I posted correctly. I said I didn't so much as look at them, as in, I didn't turn to look at them at all.

It really doesn't surprise me that some of the people with the biggest hang ups on these rules are the same people that have hang ups about crying children. Children cry. Children are unpredictable. They have meltdowns. Disney World is also going to be a place where lots of 2 year olds are having meltdowns. There's not a whole lot you can do about it. And there's no way to predict it or where you're going to be when it happens and it's definitely not something a parent brings upon themselves. That's ridiculous.

Also people cut in lines. People hold spaces. There's also not a whole lot you can do about that. Oh, wait, there is. You can be rude and say obnoxious things to those around you, trip them, block them, videotape them, roll your eyes, hop up down, scream and cry. At least my 2 year old grew out of such immature behavior.

 

[Sammie]

My take, those that this bothers, are the ones that would never do it.

Those that think, others over react, spend too much time thinking about such, need to chill, are the ones that would do it.

I will say though that those that do it, might find out that a group that is against something is stronger and more vocal than one who is trying to cut in line.

Not saying I participated; just retelling something I saw on our last trip that many people are tired of this behavior, and that the line jumper was sent to the end of the line to wait his turn.

Kids can start crying anywhere but your reaction is what got you in trouble. You may ignore crying home, teach her a lesson or whatever but in public place do not expect people to be fine with it. Unless you are on a moving ride or moving bus, take your kid away from people. That is what I call mature. And yes, people block, roll their eyes, comment and so on and there is nothing you can do about it or actually you can, do not cut.
