Plane passenger’s queue etiquette has Brits absolutely fuming

A woman’s airline queuing etiquette has left people fuming despite the fact she ‘isn’t technically wrong’.

A Reddit user shared a snap of a woman standing in line at an airport, who they claimed refused to move up to the rest of the queue until it moved ‘all the way forward’.

Posting the photo, they explained: “This girl at the airport waits until the queue moves all the way forward to move. People confronted her and she said, ‘it’s the same if i move now or later’.

And it's fair to say the photo has rattled a few cages, not least with us Brits who love a good old fashioned queue, with one person commenting: “Just move…. You over entitled moron.”

Someone else wrote: “The line moves as people get checked in, not whenever she decides it's time for the line to move.”

A third person noted: “This post is making so many British people so angry.”

You’re not wrong, pal.

Another said: “She loves how this bothers people. This is a psychopath having her meal. Energy vampire at work.”

Others suggested they would simply walk right past her and catch up with the rest of the queue.

“She doesn’t own that space. I’d walk right around here,” one person wrote.

Agreeing, someone else said: “Yep. If there’s a line and someone is standing far back, I assume they’re not ready to get in line yet.”

Yet another irate Reddit user commented: “I don’t care if she’s technically correct. She’s doing it because she is selfish and loves the little power trip it gives her.”

While most commenters did pile in on the woman, a few people pointed out that ‘she isn’t technically wrong’ and one user even seemed to agree with her, in part.

They said: “It does get exhausting moving bags in a line like that if you have a lot. Leaving up to a 10 foot gap is fine, if you ask me. Better than the people obsessively moving up a quarter inch at a time until they're so close you can tell what deodorant they're wearing. That said, this is just too much gap.”

Someone else chipped in: “She kind of has a point, but she’s that lost in her world that she wouldn’t notice or care about queue jumpers, because this is how you get queue jumpers.”

What do you guys think? Does she have a point or would you be happy to barge right past her?
