Prissy Divas on Planes!

If you want to know what gets my goat every sodding week it's people pushing in queues. Normally for passport control. You are normally standing in a cordoned queue wide enough to stand 3 abreast. I am not 3 abreast (well not quite yet) so all these oily foreigners squeeze past, and kind of osmose into the gaps. Before you know it, just be queueing normally you've been surpassed by 20 or so by the time you get to hand in your passport.

Or so I thought. Last Friday a rather well heeled gentleman in posh overcoat, carrying a leather briefcase wearing respectable patent leather shoes pushed past.

"Er excuse me sir, do you not know how to queue?" I asked.

"Oh I do, I just don't give a ****" came his inanely grinning reply.

One of these weeks I will do a MF

I wonder - his response is acceptable in that their is nothing legal to stop him doing that.

but if you had dragged him to one side and tied him up until he was the last in the queue there would have been legal repercussions.

I'm not sure I credit him with the intelligence to think that far.

This world has been overtaken by the feral and feckless. It's not about human rights any more, it's about what one is "entitled" to. It started in the chattering classes and has now spread to epidemic proportions. I however have not been broken, and continue to operate with the same core values, so queue jumping offends me, I still hold doors open for people and I let pregnant ladies have my seat on the train.

Exactly. Some idiot squares up to you, tells the wife to **** off and then the same to you and all of a sudden you're in trouble because you gently helped him back into his car. Worlds gone mad.

Not only does this indicate you shop in Tesco or Asda or, god help us, Morrison's, it also indicates that you're too tight to pay some money to have your groceries delivered.
I thought all contractors avoided the hoi polloi and had the groceries delivered by, at the very least, Ocado?

Not only that but you actually hang about in airports and fly about the place rather than reclining in your luxury leather armchair in your superbly well-appointed home office, while dictating terms to clients around the world?

What a fooking pleb.

Are you taking the p1sh?

Do you pay for grocery delivery?

Or are you being a touch tongue in cheek?

When it comes to ignorant queue jumping slimey foreigners then abso-fecking-lutely.

[BrilloPad]

Hard to see where you could have moved too as you were already taking up most of the cabin.

Or maybe he was worried you might eat him if he got too close?
