Don't Push Me

Apparently I am one of those people that other people feel inclined to push in in front of. I could have been standing in the bread shop for, oh ten minutes, and someone will waltz in, straight to the counter - ba-da bing and get served. Needless to say, I find it really, really ever so annoying. And it's not just a one off occurence either, it happens all. the. time. Today I was left so peeved I stood ogling the pusher-inner. I wanted to make eye contact. But of course, she avoided my steely gaze. The gaze that would have bored holes through her if I had a super power. The gaze that would stop traffic and extract an apology pronto. But of course it wasn't to be.

I left that shop feeling really cranky. I hate feeling cranky.

I'm wondering if singing this to the next perpetrator might be a good way to overcome crankiness, and drive the point home. Thoughts?
