- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+26Everyone knows that hot girls who cut in line in front of guys never get called out.
- JHawk24821, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15"People in big cities I bet are much less likely to stand for that, than say, a small town in Canada."
Of course this only works in Canada, small towns in the US are full of people that rape, pillage, and, oh yeah, hate line jumpers. ;) - chubbymidget, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Never really in any lines for this to happen But I do hate when someone in a car, knowing their lane is closed will continue on to the front and bull their way into the next lane. That sets road rage off in me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I wouldn't be suprised if it's against the law to fart in California. They have more laws there than oranges.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Generally, "ugly" and "fat" are not associated with "hot".
- sdrawkcaB, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I would think it greatly depends on where in the world you are. People in big cities I bet are much less likely to stand for that, than say, a small town in Canada. Also the number of people in line. You cut infront of 200 people that have been waiting hours, your ass will not stay in that line for long.
- eplawless, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Yeah, that's the problem, you're not supposed to slap them. That's what female friends are for.
- fowleryo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12okay, e-toughguy.
- chivas3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11There's a really good book called, "Dirty Psychological Tricks" that talks about this... the most interesting thing about cutting in line (or jumping the queue in the UK) is that you have a better chance of "getting away with it" when you jump at the front of the line rather than in the middle...
the thinking is that people start feeling more generous with cutters when it's clear they're almost done waiting themselves, than when they're in the middle or toward the back when they feel letting someone in front of them would be a real pain.
This works in traffic too when you must merge into a lane... - pairanoyd, on 10/12/2007, -5/+11Don't cut in line in front of me. You'll find yourself on your ass.
- keltus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I think what's most interesting is the last part:
"So the next time you’re thinking of cutting in line, be aware that it’s about a coin toss whether or not you’ll be ousted, and most likely it’ll be by the person you’re directly stepping in front of. Never line jump at the same time another person is, even though it might seem like you have safety in numbers, it works in the exact opposite way. And lastly, ideally cut in front of someone who is unlikely to object, because your chances of being challenged greatly diminish the more passive people there are directly behind you." - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/12/2007, -8/+12see what i just did?
i jumped in front of all but 4 other comments.
haha!
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv - ToeCheese, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I will take out someone cutting the line if I am with friends or by myself but if my family is around I will voice an objection. The best way to stop any line jumping is to get loud and vocal. Act line Eddie Murphy in Trading Places. Also if they threaten you, just tell the employee at the place that the person just flashed a knife and threaten you. That will usually get them kicked out or detained until the police arrive. This also works for the idiots who decide to go to the theater, pay $9 + bucks to then speak with their friends.
Amazing how much the liberal use of the word ***** and ***** will get you.
AKA Act Crazy and even the nuts will fear you. - sfmman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Your right, it is against the law to line jump in California.
Check out this picture I took in line at Knott's Berry Farm:

I simply said "I think you might want to try the back of the line, pal." and he looked up at me and walked away. He didnt even go to the end of the line. He just left.
Considering the line was filled with effeminate guys and granola-loving girls, this guy had the bad sense to try and cut in front of the only person there who could snap his neck. Go figure. - idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Driving != War
- forgottenred, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4It is against the law to cut in line in California
- sfmman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Your kind of a dick...
What makes you think you can cut ahead in lines at theme parks? Your the reason fights are started.
People like you shouldn't be allowed at ANY amusement park. - Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yep. Those folks better get ahead of the guy on front of me, or behind me.. because I sure as hell am not letting them in.
- nobley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3maybe they hate line jumpers, fair enough... Could you please explain how on earth it is that they dont hate line dancing???
- Gazpacho, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@gandre
I'm thinking it's more efficient to merge as soon as you can. From what I have notice what slows everything down (besides the two lanes of traffic shoved into one) are people like chubbymidget and I that don't want to let that person in all the way up at the front. So in theory, I guess, the more people merge back at the first caution sign the faster we all get home. - drjborg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"when it's clear they're almost done waiting themselves".... On top of that, when one person cuts, it feels like they are rejoining a group. When multiples cut, you know you are eating a sh*t sandwich.
- imtigger2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Damn politics... I voted for that laser pen law, but had not idea that there was a line-cutting rider on it. that sux!
- gandre, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That's the whole point of a merge, to merge in that space... I'll gladly go all the way up that lane, and claim my rightful 0.5 seconds closer to home
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Haha I got suckered into going to a Dave Matthews concert. Bring a girl and roll your eyes a lot.
- Nexxis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Personally, I think you are a genius. Keep it up. You cannot be considered a dick when the people you cut in front of actually have no idea that it even happened. Maybe you should be a politician.
- mikeon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What about when the road splits, they drive up past where the road splits and try to get in through the triangle area before the water barriers? Or the one's that drive up along the emergancy lane and then try to cut you.
- imtigger2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2ha! you're cracking me up! What makes me think I can? because I'm an elitist! why else? duh?
Don't be dork. I don't go around cutting in lines all the time. I've actually only done that on Space Mountain, and probably twice. There's a side entry that's little known, but it comes out right about 20 people back in line, so when you pop out, you've got 10 people looking at you wondering where the hell you came from. So, I just let them pass, then jump in.
I was just telling everyone I do it all the time so I could be cool. I'm not that cool, but if I can get all the cool Digg h4x0rs to like me because of the 'dangerous' and risky things I do, then it's worth being called a dick here and there. Otherwise, I'm forced to go back to www.elitistjerks.com, and those guys can be a real bummer at times.
Peace! - rumor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1solution for getting ousted:
just do a front-back
that'll get the kiddies pissed :) - kurtu5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Uh, "laser pens will be permanently confiscated."
INAL, but;
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
I thought each seizure had to be specific for each person and not, "we just made a law that lets us take anyone's laser pen at any time." - Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I generally just travel down the center of the two lanes, then no one can pass me in the closing lane and I still keep my spot. You know the lane is ending, get the ***** over
- kurtu5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Uh he doesn't have to be tough.
Big guys are generally not fighters. No one will fight them.
All they have to do is not back down. - dslartoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Dugg. Milgram was the man, by the way. Anybody looking for some interesting reading need only look up his study on obedience to authority.
- pr3998, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Sure, JHawk, everyone KNOWS you ameriKans are stupid rudish murderous people. just ask the next racist, he'll tell you all ameriKans are the same.
- dissident, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1the worst are the people who save spots in lines for places like black friday... one person will wait in line and hours later let 4 of their friends cut in front. Luckily this has never happened to me, but if it did, I'd walk up to where they were at and physically force them out.
Once you are in line, near the front for hours, you know who's been there and who hasn't.. you want your ass kicked, just try to save spots for your friends. - imtigger2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I've experimented with cutting many times at disneyland, and the best way I've seen to do it, and not mentioned here, is as follows....
The people you cut in front of aren't going to like it, so be sure as few as possible are paying attn. Do your cut wherever you want, then immediately say "oh, I'm sorry, why don't you go ahead, I could swear my friend/wife/pal was right here...". By letting that person pass, they forget all about your intrusion. Then, let a few people pass... as many as you think saw you cut. If you started a conversation with the person you cut in front of, you can probably get away with letting only 5-10 people pass you before you cut back into line saying, "well.. I guess he's not going to show up, so I'll just jump back into the line.."
The people you eventually cut in front of will think that you've just given up your space in line "up there", so jumping in won't be an issue.
Works great just about every time. :) - halfnormalform, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, Milgram's most famous experiment is something that people should check out.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment - SourWorm, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2but the signs say to use both lanes up to the merge point!!! .... well they do
- borninda818, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Cutting? Who would do such a thing?
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -12/+6@choicetoes
Unless they're ugly or fat.
No troll, it's true. - carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -11/+5it's kinda like skipping in line when i reply to the first comment just to get this comment up top. i guess i have a 54% chance of getting dugg down ehh?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Kill or be killed.
- bitt3n, on 10/12/2007, -24/+9ha! I cut in front of all the losers who played by the rules and didn't abuse the reply button. gg suckaz
