Vandalising an old master is bad, but not quite as evil as queue-jumping | David Mitchell | Comment is free | The Observer
july 2011 by amy
"Queue-jumping is a much greater cultural affront than desecrating an art work because the queue-jumper seems to be saying: "My time is more important than everyone else's." This is annoying because, deep down, it's what we all feel and suppressing that feeling is a monumental act of politeness and one which we secretly fear is corrosive to our self-esteem. We can't be standing there in a line, patiently subjugating our senses of self, if some people just don't bother. It's like bound feet – it's too mutilating a convention to catch on unless everyone goes along with it."
