How would you react if...

You were standing in a long line for a good long while and a large group just cut in front of you as if you were not there?
Just curious because this happened recently and I just let it go. I was not happy, but did not want to cause a sceen.
It was at a one of those all you can eat buffett's and I was sooooo hungry!!!!
Would you say something? Would you let it go? Would you just move back up to your place?
I was slightly stunned that people would be so bold and rude.
Hugs,
Laurie

The immediate reaction is sort of an "f you!" and an inclination to step around them... and the course of action probably depends on the mood of those disrespected. You could make a case either way. If I were with my youngun, because of being diabetic and a need to eat, I'd move in front. If it were me out having a good time, probably not.

I generally find that people who are that rude have no idea that they have done anything wrong.

Unfortunately I tend to not do anything, I need to grow some balls, lol. It's amazing to me when this stuff happens, do you think they just didn't see you? Or do you think they cut on purpose? People can be so rude.

I have been known on occasion to say "Excuse me? But, did you not notice the long line of people waiting for their turn?" "The end of the line is back that way!" If they choose to stay I just say "Nice". Then under my breath for all the others in agreement, I utter a comment about how rude some people can be. I just don't let them off the hook. Remember the little old lady who took over the counter while I was being waited on? lol I was ready to take her outside! lol

In my old age, I have no time for simple minded folks, so yes, by all means comment! I'm sorry that they were so rude to you.

Yeah, we just laughed them off. I only go out to dinner when I want to take my time anyway.
It was just sort of shocking that they would be so bold and rude.
(Nothing can ruin my dinner.) lol

Well, we were standing right there. Not sure how they could have missed us other than they were busy talking and maybe not paying attention.
We were in no hurry, but it just seemed odd as could be.
