Everytime I fly, I'm always stuck in a long line of people trying to get through the security check point. When I am patiently waiting in line, I take off my shoes, jacket/coat, scarf, hat, belt, and take out my lap top and be as prepared as I can so I can simply dump it on the tray. However, there are those who do not. Frustrated in line then peer over and use the "stare" tactic to try and get that person moving faster. What I've started seeing is people just cutting in front of the person still trying to take off her (it's mostly women I've noticed) boots and going through. Is this right? What are your thoughts? Please share so I can get a better understanding.

Road Rage and Rude Tourists
I hate turning into the devil woman when I'm driving. If you think that's bad, other people are worse, trust me. When it's you that fucks up while driving of course. Last week, I was pulling out of my driveway at work and was trying to make a left, didn't see this car, and stopped just in time. But it wasn't like we were inches or millimeters apart, it was still a pretty decent amount before we actually were going to collide. I raised up my hand to say "Sorry." Oops. She was in a maroon beat up Camery, me in my cute silver mini with the top down so I could hear all of her cursing with no barriers.
Her: "You stupid bitch, learn how to drive!"
Me: (Silent, kept driving. Uh-oh, red light ahead and she was pulling right up next to me.)
Her: "Learn how to drive you stupid bitch (hand motions going all over the place), what the fuck?!"
Me: "I didn't even hit you AND I said I was sorry so shut the fuck up!"
Her: "You better not have hit me in my baby otherwise I woulda sued you for every penny you have, you can't afford to hit me...(acting like she was going to get out of the car and beat my ass)"
Me: "If you can even AFFORD a lawyer driving that piece of shit! Fuck you! (Flipped her the finger)"
Her: "Blah blah blah blah (as she finally turned and drove away)"
Me: (Still giving her the finger and hoping she is looking in her rear view mirror)
I know. Immature, stupid, and petty. I was pist driving all the way home. That's me, devil lady road rager.

Last week I was at the Beverly Center. They have a new parking policy now where you have to pay before you get out of the lot. You CAN pay as you are leaving, but it's only with a credit card and those machines suck and people get annoyed if you are stuck there trying to push your ticket in the slot then your credit card and it taking forever, you get the point.
Anyway... the line was long. There were three slow elderly up front, trying to pay their $3 with all the change in their fabric wallets. One dime, one nickel, one dime... Finally, their stupid ticket came out. The next girl in front of me obviously had to stand there and watch that fiasco, so being polite, she already had her money out but the machine wasn't taking cash. She quickly turned to me and asked for help. Nope, it definitely wasn't taking cash, so she too started depositing all her coins from her wallet. One nickel, one quarter... Then these rude, loud mouthed German mother and daughter got in line behind me. I guess they don't realize that a lot of words in German sound exactly like words in English. Talking their crap behind me. I could just tell you know. The machine was slow, so it took some time before her ticket was spit out. The stupid ignorant German girl thought she wasn't pulling out her 5 cent change, when really she was waiting for her ticket. She rudely announced that she has to grab her change from down below. (There of course was a long line formed during this time)
Rude German: "You hof to take change!"
Me: "No, she's waiting for her ticket to come out. (Immediately after, ticket finally comes out. Me, satisfied.)
Then it was my turn to go and I already had my credit card out cuz I knew it didn't take cash.
Rude German: "Crezit card un due dollarz!" (basically saying I am trashy for putting a measly two dollars on my crezit card)
Me: "For your information, this machine doesn't take dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!" (People behind in line - I noticed their eyes getting bigger.)
Me: (Walking away and wanting to turn around and cuss that bitch out.)
WHY AM I SO ANGRY!?!
Her: "You stupid bitch, learn how to drive!"
Me: (Silent, kept driving. Uh-oh, red light ahead and she was pulling right up next to me.)
