I hate it when someone thinks they’re so much better than other people that they don’t have to stand in line - when they feel like they’re so big and bad that they can cut in line. There is this one older woman at the assisted living center where I live who has singled out me in particular to cut in front of any time we’re in a line. I find it upsetting. She tries to do other stuff to me that I don’t like. I think she is paying these great big guys to threaten me sexually. I don’t like it when anyone wants to jump the line.
Can you complain about her to anyone?
Maybe. I don’t know how it would be received, but maybe I could talk to my case manager about her.
People try to take advantage of me all the time.
It’s because of my quiet passive nature.
Telling your case manager sounds like a good idea @crimby.
Good luck with it.
Maybe politely but firmly remind her where the back of the line is… Edited out story…
I usually get kind of pissed. It happens though. People usually cut in front of a friend (like that makes it okay, right?).
I think I would just step in front of her after she did that and say “line starts behind (with a big smile naturally.”
I hate bullies. When people try to cut in front with their car even, I just hate it. Yesterday I had to speed up a bit and get right behind the car in front of me while honking my horn to stop this jerk in a sports car from cutting in front of me as our lanes merged. He was left behind a truck…then he was able to get right behind me in the single lane. I cussed him out in my rear view mirror and he backed up a bit. No manners.
I spent much of my life getting pushed around and I stop it if I can, and aggressively if I must.
Tell someone, but say something to the elderly bully too… good luck
I don’t like it when it happens but am usually too nervous to say anything.
do you mind if I cut in , I see you have five items and I have one…! oh did you drop something…
I’ve found that my filter is faulty these days. If someone cuts, I generally stare at them in obvious amazement and say, “Wow,” in a really unimpressed voice. I can’t seem to stop myself, it’s going to get me punched some day.
I want to say something extremely badly but then I worry about what they say or do next, or more what IL do (at worat cut in front of them) or mutter mean comments loud enough to were they hear me.
just walk back in front of her
@crimby I would ask her nicely if she would mind not cutting in line whenever you are in line too because it makes you really uncomfortable…and what do you mean guy threatening you sexually…I used to have that delusion. I wonder if you are stable…please talk to your pdoc about this.
