Sometimes the q-j says s/he has been in the queue earlier. If the people ahead of me do not dispute this, I am silenced. Recently at a theatre space where orderly queues always form (Ranga Shankara) , I told the lady in front of me that this was my place, and went to talk to someone. When I came back, the lady had also disappeared...I didn't have the courage to get into the queue and so joined the back! I wish I had the quality of chutzpah (such a nice word) that would allow me to jump queues...then I'd be more tolerant of other q-j as I would belong to their tribe.
