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?

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.

Do you pay for grocery delivery?
Or are you being a touch tongue in cheek?

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.
BTW, were you flying into/from Turkey?

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.

Originally posted by original PM View PostI 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.

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

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostI assume you mean Darms. I bounced this thread earlier and then deleted my post after getting into a physical altercation with some idiot earlier in the day when they told my wife to F Off during a parking incident. Whereas I should have been cooler I snapped immediately and got out the car and physically walked the chap back to his car before he dumbly told me to F Off as well. He left quickly afterwards.
In hindsight I've had 4 altercations in the last 12 months. I feel I'm spending so much effort keeping a lid on it during the day that woe betide some idiot mouthing off outside of the office. Been here before....
I just find as I get older things that in the past I would have laughed off or avoided I know find myself actively enjoying the confrontation.
It is amazing how many stupid aggressive people are actually complete pussies if you even show a small amount of resistance.
