People who cut in line

That’s what I typically say.

Something similar for me, without the “miss.”

"Excuse me, there's a line." is usually what I say

I was accidentally a line cutter. There was a big gap between the line and I just stood behind the last person. The next person in line became visibly upset and said the line was behind him. I immediately apologized and moved behind him. No big deal, but also no reason to be so angry. Since you don’t know whether this person did it by accident or on purpose, just politely point to the end of the line, with a smile. Both you and the line cutter can continue on with your day with no hard feelings.

Or you could have situational awareness and ask where the end of the line is, like normal people. Also, no one needs to smile like a moron all the time. A simple "the end of the line is back there" is perfectly fine.

I would say something benign like, "Oh, I'm know what I'm getting! I was in line here." with a smile. Who knows why people do the things they do. It doesn't need to be confrontational.

Push them out of the way.

In Europe we can always spot the Americans because they smile all the time. Insane.

I say nothing and I take their drink when the barista calls it out.

Internally it makes me smile.

Half the time they don’t notice and wait an eternity for a drink that never comes. The other half they’ll say something like “Hey that’s my drink!” I finish taking my sip, and dramatically look at the label with surprise “Oh I’m SO SORRY, you’re right! This isn’t my mocha!”

Either way, they wait twice as long for their drink.

I’m passive aggressive, but I’m also kind of a B —-

Why would you say end of line nonsense. Maybe they were one behind you

How could they be behind you and in front of you at the same time? They are in line when they step into the correct spot. Looking at the display case does not guarantee them a spot behind me.

I usually take my dick out and use it to point to the end of the line.

What culture doesn’t stand in line?
