Re: Queue Jumping........
I've noticed that it seems to be the younger people who are more courteous. There are a lot of students on my bus line and when I board and all the front senior seats are occupied it's normally one of them who will give me a seat rather than the adults.26-09-2009, 12:53 PM

Not necessarily , manners dont always come with age , or youth.
Take the young man(boy) of around 18/19 who pushed me out of my seat on the airaplane coming home from Portugal last weekend.
I got to the seats first, my hubby was a few people behind me, but this young boy and his friend wanted to sit where I had decided to sit.. he pushed me out of the way, told me I cant have those seats, because he is there before my hubby..
A very rude young man, no one had taught him any manners while he wa growing up.
