Thread: I don't like queue jumpers either

Shopper bashed to death over queue-jumping







A woman at the centre of a supermarket row over queue-jumping that led to the death of an innocent shopper has been found guilty of manslaughter.
Antoinette Richardson, 37, from Catford southeast London, had been shopping in Sainsbury's in Merton last June when she became involved in a heated argument with a man.
She telephoned her boyfriend, Tony Virasami, 38, who arrived moments later and punched Kevin Tripp, 57, who later died from the blow.
Tripp however was not the man with whom Richardson had been arguing.
"As they came off an escalator, she pointed out the man she thought she had been arguing with and told Virasami: 'That's him,"' the Metropolitan police said in a statement.
Tripp, an ME sufferer from Colliers Wood, south London, died from a single blow to the head. He leaves a five-year-old daughter.
Richardson, who protested her innocence in court on Thursday, and her boyfriend will be sentenced at a later date. Virasami pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter last year.

I believe Wills is conveying humour Mid. You recognize humour, yes?

China does have it down pat, but I have not been to indo in 40 years so don't know about there, but Tha Thai are in the running and will be champs unless some starte letting then know that it is not respectful to be doing that shit either, but then respect goes the same was as Culture and Traditions in Thailand,, it seems to be what ever is being done at that second that counts.

when a bus comes, it is the fittest first, similarly in other situations (unless there is a numbering-line up)

The non-queuing does have the positive effect of negating the social security system, which lets the unfit survive despite being totally incapable, at least after the first few beers.

OK you non-believers in Darwinism, get lost

Giving brainless, good-for-nothing bullies the advantage over their more intelligent, productive albeit physically weaker counterparts is not darwinism, it's the opposite. The survival of our species does fortunately not depend on how many muscular monkeys we have anymore, quite the opposite actually, the more we advance. So a society is better off regulating, either by society, ie morals, customs, laws to prevent that evolutions losers force from others the privileges they couldn't get by themselves. This, after all, is called civilisation. Some even go so far as to say that nations with a large population of technically retarded bullies need a war from time to time to ease the resulting internal tension. But that would be a bit cynic I assume.

(this response shouldn't be taken too seriously, but I just prefer polite people who queue)

actually, I got punched in the head by a 80 year old man in Japan for queue jumping, fookin hell of a punch too, never saw it coming.

The story is that I was catching one of them bullet trains from one city to another, I was first waiting on the platform, after a half hour or so noticed that the a winding queue of people had appeared, I had thought the coloured paint on the platform was an abstract snake or something. Buggered if I was gonna go to the back of it considering I had been there first.

So I politely waited near the front and moved in the door of the train thai style (without the pushing), just as I walked inside he king hit me from behind in his displeasure and pushed past me to be first onto the train.....

I didnt know what to do....

Such a good Gaijin/Farang/Foreign Devil....

Indians seem to be averse to queuing. They are good at "milling" though.

I find Thai's in general, and with respect to queue jumping to be very respectful and patient.
That's why you don't have all these car horn blowers here like you experience in other countries such as you will find in Manila.
In fact in some places counter attendents will look straight past other Thai's and serve me first.
Really I find Thai's one of the most patient races of people in the world (Oh except for CT woman drivers here). They will try and cut you off everytime even to gain 1 parking spot in the traffic queue and at the risk of causing an accident!

True insight as usual LT. To a point one might find it more civilised than most here.

I bet the jiji dined out on that for weeks- "Ya shoulda seen the smackdown I laid on that queue-jumpin' gaijin."

it wasnt like i could hit him back!

I always find these Issan scrubber types who have snagged a farang and conned them in to having kids with her as a 'security' and who are now 'business people' due to an injection of cash from the 'tolerated' older family member to be the most ignorant when it comes to knowing how to act.

What was he doing having a kid at 52? Is it a half breed to some Issan skank?
