Last year i made a stand! was told by the flight attendant that they would put my babybag at the other end of the plane where there was room? I said no i need it with me for a 4 hour flight and insisted they move the other persons stuff she said she could do that so i explained that I COULD!!! ::) ::) I removed the offending items gave them to the attendant and put my stuff there.
Turned out it belonged to some !!!!!! who had filled his locker and moved onto mine >:( >:(

I think in some countries they dont understand queueing ,we were at the festival of the sea in portsmouth a few years ago and had been queueing for ages so my son could go on the virtual speed boat when three foriegn sailors joined the queue or rather decided to stand at the front.We pushed past anyway when it was his turn and they looked like they couldnt understand what the problem was.
In holland we waited our turn in a waterworld type swimming pool to go round the 'tunnels ' in huge rubber rings and had to walk half way up the tunnels in the water to avoid someone just turning up and taking our turn.Maddening!0 -

I know what you mean about some countries not seeming to have a queing system, but most of the people in the 'queue' I was complaining about were definitely British.
Some folk have such a cheek - Its coming up to Christmas and the shops are full to bursting with people forming queues at the checkouts - there's a whole stream of people lining up to purchase their goods and what happens?? Someone just comes along, bypasses the whole queue and goes straight to the next available till. Do they think we are standing there for the good of our health!!! As you can probably tell, I've been hacked off by some moron pushing in again today!You never know how far you can fly, till you spread your wings.0 -
What about shop assistants who open another till next to you after you have spent 10 minutes standing there and call people behind you to come to his/her checkout. HELLO shift my goods on to your conveyer belt I AM NEXT OK!!!! ;D
Also shops penalising people who shop early for Xmas. I bought a gift in Boots at the beginning of Nov £29.99. Yesterday it's £19.99. Not marked reduced, not marked as being 'On sale'. Just a lower blooming price. Well being a MS I bought it again and took the other back with my receipt. Good job Boots don't have a 28 day policy or it would have cost me a tenner!~Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone.~:)

those budget flights amuse me! seems that people think if they don't push to the front at the gate they won't get a seat.... its ok...there's enough for all of us!!!
i seem to be invisible at the moment, people keep barging into me and pushing in front of me wherever i go! >:( ::)Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
Of course none of us like waiting in a queue, then imagine how frustrating it is when people push there way in.
I remember one year waiting at a theme park for 1 1/2 hours for a ride when three large youths push there way in. I didn't have tell them off, almost got in a fight. But my fears will overcome with sheer anger that these idiots couldn't careless who they annoy as long as they are okay.
One thing annoys me is at my local supermarket often the alley ways are full of rubbish they sell in there in small baskets Morrisons are particular worse for this. This usually restricts how many people can go down there at any one time. So imagine when some one is about to purchaese something opposite quite often there is only space for one customers to squeeze in. I often try and be polite to let someone else at the other side pass through.
But quite often people behind me just barge through and I think to myself, yes I have all day here looking and stand here for teh good of my health.

The other annoying thing about easyjet is when you check in early and are number 9 or 10, then a load of people with kids check in right at the last minute and THEY get priority!
Sorry, turning this into another "kids" rant but it is so bl**dy annoying! >:(0 -
I guess I don't mind when the people with very young kids board first, I don't have any of my own, but my sister does and its a real nightmare with really young ones getting them seated and sorted out and stuff, particularly when other people are pushing and shoving.
BUT..... what does hack me off is that when they call to board people with kids under five first - you watch as some loser pushes to the front with a kid that is clearly about 10 - I don't know how they have the nerve!!You never know how far you can fly, till you spread your wings.0 -

I know what you mean - I made the 'mistake' of holding a shop door open for someone the other day - only to find that people behind me just pushed past and prevented the person from entering anyway! I am beginning to think that I am just too polite!!You never know how far you can fly, till you spread your wings.0
