Why do some people think they are above rules!

This happened to me at the LAX airport while waiting in line for the bathroom.

A gorgeous 20something woman cut right in front of me and my girls and it was obvious there was a long line. I will say something and I did. I said you do know that we're waiting in line, right?, and you just cut in front of us. Problem solved.

It has happened at retail stores like WM, too, and I make sure to speak up.. always. I do it because the rude one's think that they can get away with it, but not with me.

Lyn, may I ask what store it was? I would have taken up the issue with management, but then again I do know that local people are generally more relaxed and live more with the "aloha spirit" so I can see how they handled it like they did.

It was in Safeway. The woman who cut in line was not local, but the women at the counter were...so yes, I do think the woman who helped her wanted her to quietly, quickly leave. Which she didn't, she started asking questions and taking a long time. I told the woman that was helping me that I was there first, but she knew that already and had told the cutting woman where the line was.

I didn't complain since I only have an hour for lunch and I had been served, but I wouldn't doubt if the people behind me did complain...Most of them weren't local.

Where I work, there is a lot of rude people, sometimes all the day long. I am a professional woman, but because of my age, gender and ethic background I am confused for being a part of the clerical staff. So, at work I am quick to correct people and put them in their place...not so much for myself since the rude people quickly learn they need my help and begin to kiss up, but for the other women in the office that are non-professional and don't get the respect that they deserve! I never understood why people are rude to someone that is knowledgable and is trying to help them, regardless of their position

I think that is what also really bothered me, is that they helped her right away. Maybe they wanted to get rid of her, but it wasn't fair to all the people in line.

I have a family member like this. She'll argue the craziest things like movie gift certificates going toward snacks when it clearly states "for admission only". I'm convinced people give in to her because they are thinking "she's nuts, just get her out of here."

Anyway, having been enabled all her life she has encountered a few situations this past year where she is NOT getting her way. And honestly, she can't get over it and is almost cracking up. It's fun to watch, I tell you.

the problem with our school pick-up circle is that sometimes the "lead"person stops right in front of the school doors instead of pulling forward to the front of the circle. like their kid cant walk a few feet(or car lengths forward) I am not surprised (or mad) when someone pulls in front of them.
