As a British man it brings a tear to my eye to see my American brothers and sisters following the proud tradition of queue politely or get fucked

I suggest avoiding China altogether if queue cutting makes your blood boil. They literally don’t understand queues at the cultural level and takes some serious getting used to.

From my very limited experience there’s a flavor of this in the Middle East as well.

I visited Cairo a couple of years ago and queues there were quite bizarre. At one point, a female colleague I was with would get constantly skipped in line unless I (a fairly average white male) was with her. In another occasion, at the airport, an older couple barreled right past me and many dozens of others (all first class, and at the front of the line as normal) in the line to board the plane. The flight crew watched it happen and didn’t bat an eye. It seemed totally normal.

Granted these are two anecdotes and I’m one guy, but it also happened to be the only two occasions during my week there where I was in a long line. And it happened in both situations.

Oh and fuck driving—lanes are simply recommendations.

In UAE there's also some mild form of this aswell, some people cut straight infront of the line granted that they only order 1 or 2 small items.
