I find people try and jump the cue ahead of me fairly often. Because I don't squash up. If I join a cue I look around to check that I'm not cue jumping... Most people don't. Most people will jump up a cue if they can.
Here... People will even join their friends up ahead. It's quite common for a group to send out a sentinal. In lectures someone will arrive and attempt to save seats for people who aren't there yet.
Walking... I was thinking the other day just how much like driving it is. You get *ssh*l*s who speed up to overtake you then walk right in front of you and slow down... You get big guys who don't show any sort of chivalry at all... Gangs of unruly youths, even...
Nursing students are pretty bad. Med students, too. They teach them to walk around in packs of 6 or 10 or whatever. And to huddle up, huddle up. Otherwise everyone would be tripping over them when they get into the hospitals, I suppose.
It's really rather horrific.
How small this city can be... And yet how horribly, horribly overcrowded...
Not overcrowded, really, just freaking disorganised... How a group of about 6 people can wreck things within a 2 mile radius (of how many people???) with their freaking noise...
Sigh.
