How do you prevent people from cutting in front of you without looking like a loser?

Is that a thing that happens to you alot?
If people frequently think so little of you to cut in front of you often, then you are a loser who, at a minimum, visually poses zero presence or even authority (of the self).

How did you see this thread, think of a response, type a response, and then solve the captcha, all in less than 50 seconds?

This motherfucker is an AI...

Be loud. Linecutters are widely hated, if you are loud about challenging them "What the fuck, did you just cut in front of me?", other people will join in

Just hit refresh as he posted it I suppose, and it caught my attention.
The response was reflexive, which is why it came off curt.
Easy capcha i suppose,

Not even a question. Just immediately cut back in front of them

Does this kind of thing happen to you a lot?

I prefer oregano, but whatever.

I wholeheartedly thought this was about people cutting themselves in front of you

Just start chomping out over it. Ext time it happens start shouting and pushing them

>>33380206
And if they punch you in the face?

>>33380350
Punch them first and don't stop punching them until they stop moving or you're forcibly dragged off of them. It's on you to ensure that each punch is a killing blow

>>33380394
But that's murder.

>>33380206
Don't be dumb, chances are if you put your hand on their shoulder and say you were in line they'll back off. >>33380350
If you're worried about a fight then its already over. Just be ready to fight back

you start by becoming a man people won't even try this kind of shit with

>>33380434
So what, just look big and scary?
That can shoot yourself in the foot in other settings of life
People that do this shit are just banking on you not sticking up for yourself. Firmly asserting your place in line without getting hostile will solve it 9 times out of ten

I'm big and scary, hear me meow :3

Strong advice. I feel like sometimes, I am more present and authoritative than other times and on those other times, people push me around more. I have short stature, so unless I stand tall and am aware of my surrounding, for some reason people feel inclined to test my boundaries. If I am particularly passive, I might let it slide (probably for the reasons you said, I am also preoccupied with the emotions that are causing me to act passively). If I am active, I'd probably catch their attention and they either adjust quickly or I'll ask something like "you in a hurry?" and again letting it slide if they seem exceptionally mentally ill.

Idk what the permanent, long term solution is. I exercise, I'm just small boned.

>>33382268
Sidestep and wiggle wiggle.

I'll be honest, I work out regularly, train MMA, dress clean, groom myself regularly, don't subscribe to any strange or fringe ideological beliefs, have a good education, and am confident with no self-esteem issues, and I often get cut in line more often than what should be statistically possible; and almost always it's crotchety old guys or middle-aged dudes who look grumpy, drunk dude-bros, and manlets who look like they have some martial arts training. I think they just see a taller, physically fit dude, and I guess due to their life circumstances, or their impaired judgement, or their poor impulse control, or what-have-you, they try to do so as a powerplay, or in order to feel better about themselves. Funnily enough, I've never seen a gangbanging "YN" type do it to me, nor any sort of "ghetto" type person do it to me, but if they look preppy and kind of rich, the likelihood of it happening goes up.

The first time it happened was with a drunk dudebro, and honestly I just kinda stood there seething, and I knew his buddy could sense it, cause his buddy would look over at me nervously, but ultimately he ended up cutting me too, because he probably figured if he verbalized or implicitly acknowledged the fact that his buddy cut, it might escalate the situation, whereas if he continued to pretend not to notice, at least he could fall back on plausible deniability; but yeah, that first time I just seethed and didn't do shit. The second time, I just took a deep breath, cooled my ego, tapped this stocky manlet wearing "Tapout" brand clothing on the shoulder and politely said "Sorry sir, I was actually in line next", and he just kind of stared at me a little bit with some attitude, but then relinquished 2 seconds later and went to the back of the line, and honestly I didn't see his facial expression afterward because I just got my food and minded my own business from that point on.
