"Am I missing something that is obvious to everyone else? Is it your use of a smiley emoticon which in your mind colors your statement as complimentary? Even your perception of my last response seems very skewed to me. MY perception was that I was clarifying my attitude regarding protesting, and even THAT you somehow choose to perceive as yet another 'protest.'" sheesh. Its official I cant even be playful without being lectured. I'm sorry, and this should be very straight forward for you to read, but I would hate to interact with you on a day-to-day basis. Do you read so far in to even what the barista says at Starbucks? You Like To Argue Everything. From that observation I arrived at a hypothesis that you would like protesting "Not trying to start anything up here" The truthful statement should read "at SP, I am trying to start everything up in everywhere"

never let line cutters off the hook----a sign of their rudeness in other aspects of life. I pointed out two very self-important business types cutting into an LAX line that snaked outside- they and their briefcases were forced to the back of the line, skulking all the way.

Italians don't have this Swedish thing then - same as they believe a car horn is for leaning on to pass the time of day... When i was about 30 I had an old (70plus) woman push in front of me at a supermarket queue once, she tried to avoid all eye contact but nearly everyone else had noticed... I said, very loudly, "Old people today...I dunno... not like they were back in my day!" she didn't give way but the letting go was of the right level I felt...

a trademark of us Swedes is that we love to form lines. the forming of the line is embedded in our cerebral cortexes. You Wait For Your Turn is fed to us with our cereal. we might have developed a Line gene. butting in line is like whipping out your privates in public and peeing on the flag. we do not let it go.

Washington DC is a surprisingly polite town. People naturally get in line and go up and down stairs in an orderly fashion. Once, quite a while ago, at National Airport, on Friday after work, there was a storm and many flights were canceled. People politely waited in pretty long lines waiting to get their schedules adjusted. One man came rushing up to the counter, pushing the person there out of the way, loudly demanding immediate service. "It's very important that.." The ticket agent interrupted him, calmly but firmly, "Sir, this is Washington DC, our nation's capitol, and many people have been inconvenienced by this storm. So, I suggest you get in the back of the line of all the other very important people." The people in line applauded.
