I was in line at the DMV a few years ago, before they developed their "take-a-number" system (which actually works!).  Anyway, there was a woman behind me, with her boyfriend. The boyfriend was talking (a lot) to her, so he was facing her.  Unfortunately, he was standing in front/to the side of her.  Which meant he was standing on my shoulder and yelling in my ear.  When I could take it no longer, I just lost it.  I turned around and yelled, "BACK OFF!"  He was shocked.  He backed off.  And he shut up.  Man, that felt great!

Dude, you are so F'in funny you should be a stand up comedian.  You're like Whoopi, only whiter and slightly more masculine. Got the Jewish thing down, though...

Had a McDonald's situation today... some guy decided to stand in two lines at once. He had the nerve to defend both spots. In the end, he gracefully stepped in front of me when he figured my line was shorter. He was a fat dump who could have killed me with one stomp of his meaty leg, so I didn't say anything. It's NYC after all. If he didn't get his sausage biscuit soon enough, he would have just devoured me. 

You should have kicked him in the MC-nuggets and went on about your business!!!

When we were going to Hawaii, we changed planes in Dallas. As we were boarding the plane and presenting our passes to the gate agent these two morons who were in our boarding group ran up between my wife and I separating us and then they just stood there. I don't know if they were waiting on someone else or they burned DRIVE out of their transmission, but they rushed up in my way, then stopped dead still. You really have to see the pathway to the agent there to understand my frustration, but these two just stood there in the way; the only way to the agent!! It is roped off so that they CLEARLY knew they were in the way!! It pissed me off, cause my wife who was already in the "tunnel to the plane" was standing there waiting on me just past the agent  but these asslicks were just standing there for no apparent reason. So I said, "PHUCKET!!" and went on around them. I heard the guy huff like he was getting all pissed. I turned around and there he is glaring at me!! LOL I just stopped dead still, stood my carry on up on it's on and GLARED  back at him!!!! He saw pretty quickly that I had heard him and wasn't too happy with his actions. When I just stood there, it really shocked him that I took the time to react to his ASSHOLINESS. He quickly changed his demeanor, smiled and turned around, completely the other way. He was trying to play it off like everything was hunky-Dorry!!! My wife asked me when we were going down the tube what all that was about and I told her, and she just shook her head..... Somehow I think she was shaking it at me. She thinks I Overreact to some things, and maybe I do, but I hate assholes. I try to live my life and I even go out-of-my-way to stay out of others way. I try hard be polite and courteous, but in a situation like the plane, it's kind of dumb to rush in front of someone!! We are all going to the same place, and we have seating assignments on our passes, so what's the f**king rush??? What, someone please tell me the point of rushing in front of someone, JUST TO STAND THERE MOTIONLESS, and then get made at me for passing them? If he had something to say he should have said it when I gave him the opportunity, but he chose not to. I don't know why???

Funny, this just happened yesterday. 

I had 2 line related incidents back to back Friday at work and Saturday at the mall.

I was ringing a customer out, and there was a lady at the far side of my counter looking at games behind the glass, like many people do. There was no real line forming, it just seemed like as soon as one person was done with me, another would approach and want to ring out. Apparently, by some sort of random psychic connection, the woman standing at the very far side of the counter was apparently in line? Another customer down, another one stops browsing and comes to the counter. He asked to read the back of a game and paused. The woman comes down to my end of the counter and basically tries to shove in front of the man reading the box and waves her stuff at me, which is idiot speak for "I don't want to wait for him to decide, ring me out now!". I just sort of looked around, there was no line, and told her "um, he's kinda here first". She grumbled and stepped back and the man purchased his game. My co worker was ready to clock out and she darted over to the counter next to me where she was standing to ring out, telling her the "oh wo as me I was next" story. No, you weren't even in line, you were 3 registers away browsing. Take your pitty party and f*ck off. Learn to stand IN FRONT of the cashier when you want to ring out. I'll never understand some of these customers.

Saturday I was at the mall with my husband and we stopped for lunch at McDonalds in the food court. There's limited amount of space for a line to form, so the counter was basically a mob. We stood in a line that was moving and waited. I can't stand waiting in line and hearing the people behind me complain about "this is rediculous bla bla bla". Get over it, they're working with the limited space they have. There seemed to be 2 registers open, and occasionally the middle register would call for someone. We were next in line when the aggrivated lady behind me asked "which line are you in". Mind you, there's only 2 real lines, since the middle register was pulling from my line and had no real cashier. The middle register called for the next customer, to which I replied to the nasty lady "I'm in this line..." and walked to register that called for me. We waited maybe 5 minutes. Is 5 minutes really that long of a wait to the point where you have to moan and groan and bug other customers in line to try and make a line that doesn't exist. You know she wanted to form a line in front of the middle register, which didn't have it's own cashier. Needless to say, the mall will not be in my future on Saturday's anymore, the ignorance there makes me too angry.

I haven't been to the registry in I-don't-know-how-long. 

Something similar at a 7/11 years ago. There was 1 customer in front of me. They had purchased a scratch-off lottery ticket and had won like $5. They purchased 5 tickets and were proceeding to scratch them! I asked the clerk "Is this a store or a casino"? I could see the light bulb turn on above the gambler's head. They said "sorry" and moved their scratching away from the counter. By the way. State lotteries are a tax on people who are bad at math.

I swear one time I went to it and the 2 ladies at the counter were almost to the point of arm wrestling for who got to wait on the customer.
