Crazy Couples (NRR)

So 2 night in a row I've gone to the store (different stores). And in front of me was a person talking to the person in the next line. They clearly seemed to be a couple and I couldn't figure out why they were in different lines. Then when one line gets to the reg faster the one in the other line quickly jumps out of their line with their stuff and joins their mate. WFT!!!!!!!!! The first time I was stunned but to see it happen again floored me. I like to pick my battles but don't people like this deserve a "who the fuck do you think you are?????". To make it worse the first time.......the girl was singing along to the store muzak. The song was "The Flame (Cheap Trick)" and she was singing it to her man all serious like only a mental case can. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this happen. People are increadably rude in big cities, but this is a new one for me.

    I'm not exactly understanding the crime that's been committed here. Couples line-stake all the time and then switch over when it appears their mate has managed to find the faster line. Is this supposed to be a breach of etiquette?

    Sorry, I guess I was just hoping to hear some "crazy couples" stories ala

    Yes this is a faux pas as it fucks up with one's ability to judge a line time based on the items held within said line. This couple's double-team stratagem inherently undermines this cornerstone of line selection process.

    I don't know if it's confrontation worthy though. Scowls are whole-heartily encouraged though.

    Yea, i should have called it "Line Cutters" or something.


    I guess I just never heard of or seen this. And yes I think it is a really rude "breach of etiquette". I mean if someone just cut in front of you people would say stuff, but because their a couple it's OK? It's one thing to say "get in line for the movie while I park the car". But when it comes to the check out line, just roll the dice like the rest of us.

    It would be like me getting into line then a few sencond later someone gets into the line next to me. Their line moves fater and then when they get to the check out I just jump in front of them and saw "well I was in 'a' line before you." It just seems rude and stupid.

    Just like calling a thread "crazy couples" and not having a sweet cat fight or Eve porn video included!!!

    Interesting to hear there actually is a cultural thing.

    I kinda feel sory for a couple who has to team up against the world just to get out of line 2 minutes faster. I guess I just never understood the whole freaking out cuz you have to stand in line thing. Some people get really crazed standing in line and will do anything to get out faster.

    You don't, and it's not really a big deal. It's just teamwork.

    Actually what we do is find a line that looks good, and while she waits with the cart I scout further down to see if there are any better ones and then I give her the birdcall to move on if there is.

    Welcome to the city. It's snake eat snake in these lines. LOL


    What's worse is when old ladies push the cart into your back in a "hurry up" kinda way.

    Yes! thank you.
    Thats hella irritating. Ive seen couples do it and was equally amazed the first time I saw it.
    I think you should pick a line and stick with it.

    Also very irritating is when you're waiting in line and a new registry opens up. that the people waiting behind you run past you and claim first position at the registry. I think thats just fucking rude. When Im in a bad mood I will speak up about it en tell peeps to step back... but usually I let it slide and stay iritated in silence.

    Nah dude, If a register opens up then a new line has been created. If you choose to stay on your line, well.........slow you blow. That's not skipping in my book.

    1). I've never ever heard or seen this in my life. Is this a mid-west/east coast thang-a-thang-thang?

    2). Special Ed:

    Aomeba, but it's only one line separating into multiple cashiers. Maybe they already thought of this.

    I was in line @ my local supermarket, standing behind a full cart w/ nobody next to it. So im sure somebody just forgot an item and tried fetch it before her turn came up. The person at the register was finished, so I put my stuff on the belt, skipping the unmanned cart. The old lady appears and said she was ahead of me.
    I told her I was patient enuff and the line doesnt stop for you or anybody.I moved her cart out of the way when I placed my items(she saw that from afar on her way back). I told her to "get the fuck out outta here w/ that".
    Shit like this is what causes slow lines. I'm usually nice but she was gone for like 8 minutes. I'm not gonna wait for her to find her fuckin Mountain fresh Bounty on my time. KEEP IT MOVIN!!!!!!
