Some guy who thought it would be smart, came down that right lane, undertaking all the queue, and came to stop by my car, signaliing that he wanted to be let in. I was so frustrated by this behaviou that I told him, "I have been in this queue for an hour. So maybe you should get in at the back of the queue and have some respect for others. You know what he said? "Why don't you go and suck on a huge turd?" (yelling). He had his wife and 2 kids in the car. I was speechless, and shocked to say the least. It's the sort of thing that makes me think, what a shit human being I just met. I could never understand that man.
But the big question is, did you let him in or stay glued to the bumper of the car in front of you like I do?

I don't make it too apparent when things bother me. I pretty much just take the "just deal with it" path and eventually when I've had enough I'll either scream into a pillow, gather my thoughts and talk to one of my few good friends about it, or just say screw it, I shouldn't worry about stupid stuff like this because there's more important things to worry about.

I see this problem constantly at work, as I'm working with three other people in a new facility and not one of us really has all that much experience with our specific jobs so its been a learning curve for all. And to say there's been some roadblocks and frustrations is the worlds biggest understatement. I can't speak for the others (billege, perhaps you'd like to chime in on this?) but I've been conciously trying to take the apathetic "brush it off" type of attitude since whining and complaining really gets us nowhere.

I hope I read the above post right, because this sounds on-topic to me. If not, tell me and I'll grumble a bit and try again
