Execution on spot, it can range from medieval style to drone strike depending on my mood that day.
Looks like you were bothered. Why? That might help figuring out the appropriate reaction.
Feels like you felt personally attacked for being the one they chose to cut in front to. If that's the case, a clear "hey, please find somewhere else in the line to cut in front to" might be enough to get them to at least swap places with you. It acknowledges them, is polite, but firm.
Depends what the line is for and what kind of relative hurry we are in. Are we waiting for food in a cafeteria? Not a big deal. Seats at an event that is a first-come, first-served basis? Bigger issue. It affects everyone behind me too, not just me.
I’d likely say something, but not create a big fuss about it if they’re dead set on it.
The actual answer. Only difference is that I'd just cut infront right after and then say something so that social pressure is directed from both sides.
Hug them from behind and whisper in their ear "Its ok baby you must be in a rush".
Be careful, they might have diarrhea, and that's why they're in a rush.
Nothing lol. I'm not gonna be on the news for something small like this
normally they do after being called out, if they dont i guess i would cut in line in front of them.
depending on the person, I think it's best to say assertively "excuse me, the line begins back there" while squinting and pointing
hmmm depends on the amount of people around and I guess if they aren't over 6'4" I would probably loudly call them a fucking jackass and that's it as like others have said, I wouldn't want to catch a charge over a lineup.
the civilized west where you can get assaulted for defending your costco queue
Idk, people don't usually cut queues, and after that don't normally just ignore an entire queue of people yelling at him to get back. Something is probably up.
Make disapproving looks to the people around you so that everyone knows how disappointed you are in the line-cutter and hope that someone will nod at the injustice and tut on your behalf.
Turn to my imaginary friend and say 'this is what lumpenproles look like!'
