I come from a family that do not hold their tongue when something like that happens. I'm not sorry what's about to come out my mouth.

Teaching your daughter to be a jerk like you?

Since retirement, I don't get too excited about such infractions, but I absolutely love this clip from DEAD, LIKE ME with Mandy Patinkin:

We would be won't to complain about the actions of people who do things such as this but I ask, "How would you feel if that person that jumped in line was the recipient of a terrible accident and you realize that had it you, life would've changed drastically?" It's my "anger protocol" for the day lol. We all need to step back and take a good look at out actions and how we got to that point.

Very few of us throat clearers.

They might have every reason to cut in line, the child might be disabled in some non obvious way that makes standing in line a hardship. Unless you know for sure they are cheating, MYODB.

As a kid on Cape Cod, our mother would take us strawberry picking. There was always a line of cars waiting to enter the place, so my mother would drive past them, go on a bit, turn around, and pretend she was arriving from the other direction and cut into line at the entrance to the farm. I was always so embarrassed.

Have to say something. It's wrong, and teaches kids that it's okay to cheat.

I don't have a kid so this wouldnt really apply to me, but i was in line at the dmv last week and some guy cut in the line by walking up to some people he knew and started talking to them. I chose to ignore it because i didnt want to start conflict with a stranger in a crowded place. Overall it doesnt matter, hopefully he didnt get served and has to come back later.

I'd give them 2 seconds to get out of line b efore I kicked the father's ass.

I have done this many a time. I just can't handle rudeness. I am the rudeness police!!! I have to hold myself back all the time......

Probably depends on my mood to some degree. I chose "Confront Firmly" but would prefer to "Confront Softly" since I'm not sure what the circumstances are.

There are quite a lot of people that have that behavior. You see it on the road, in traffic so often. If I would allow me to be angry every time, I would have a short, stressful life. I hardly watch TV too. There is someone in charge in the US that loves to do these kind of things. As I said, I prefer to let go.

Ask my kid is she thinks that father is setting a good example for his daughter loud enough for the father to hear.

I would say, the line starts back there. If they don't care, I would tell my daughter that this is rude and boorish behavior and that this man apparently thinks he is entitled to act that way. He is not. He is teaching his kid to act like a jerk, so other kids won't like her. And then ask the jerk, if I got all that right, and would he go back to the end of the line where he belongs.

Queuing, I found decades ago, is not a universal thing. I've been to many countries where forming a polite line just isn't done.

If the person wasn't with a kid, I would say something but otherwise it doesn't have to be a personal issue.

Act a fool...especially if it's hot out there.

Act a fool...unless their nice about it.

Ask nicely that they go to the end of the line. If he refuses throat punch that mfer. Lol
