Gun Show Etiquitte?
While waiting in a very long line at a recent show, a young gentleman came from the back of the line and struck up a conversation with the person close to the front of the line. Before you know it he is inline up front.
Is this an accepted practice?

Yup...it's pretty rare for someone to say anything...it's one of those MYOB.
I save spots in line for friends all the time,I had one guy complain once like 40 people back and I asked him if he wanted to cut infront of me too.He scowled and went back to staring off into space.

I've never been cut in line to a gun show But some punk teenager cut in front of me and the wife once at the movies. I asked him what he was going to see, After he stated what movie I told him that's the what we were going to see and if he didn't get back to his spot in line I would sit behind him and kick his seat through the whole movie. He laughed apologized and got back in his spot in line. We weren't even seeing the same movie.

happens everyplace. It's the whole "me first" attitude everyone has now. We deal with it a LOT at Disney but have our "spread out and block" tactic perfected much to others disliking. You start behind me, you stay there!

Not long ago, a couple of young adults cut in front of me at the drive through at DD. I tapped the horn, put my hands up a bit. The wise kid at the wheel laughs and and puts his hand out. OK, action --I get out of the truck, I say to him in my best command voice, " Now , I'm going to give you the opportunity to be a gentleman here, pull your vehicle out of line, exit the lot, and get at the end of the line." He actually did it. I wanted to see if he had the hair to tell me "bleep off" to my face. I'm disappointed in this younger bunch.

A lot of the time, it's not even that. Some people are off on their own little planets and oblivious to what's going on around them.

No situational awareness.If you ask me, there's something hypocritical and tragic about so-called libertarians and free-thinkers demeaning others for "outing themselves." Those who do so criticize not simply the content of the differing opinion, but attempt use informal social control to curtail the very act of speaking.
The "out yourself" poster believes in free mindedness only insofar as others agree with them. All else should be silenced by the mob. Which in the end is no belief in free mindedness at all.

This was listed under Canada:
Not waiting at the end of a queue for your turn ("cutting in line") is considered extremely rude.
I thought it was rude all over the world (if not MOST of the world) :P
