Line Jumping
Cutting in line (also known as line/queue jumping, butting, barging, budging, bunking, skipping, breaking, ditching, shorting, pushing in, or cutsies) is the act of entering a queue or line at any position other than the end. The act is frowned upon in most human cultures and stands in stark contrast to the normal policy of first come, first served that governs most queue areas. Reaction A negative and very assertive response from the rear of the line is expected when someone has cut in line up ahead under any circumstances in virtually all cultures. According to one study, a person cutting in line has a 54% chance that others in the line will object. With two people cutting in line, there is a 91.3% chance that someone will object. The proportion of people objecting from anywhere behind the cutter is 73.3%, with the person immediately behind the point of intrusion objecting most frequently. Nevertheless, physical altercation resulting from cutting is rare. It was reported that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
