To the two women who butted into the lineup on Friday night in front of many others who were waiting to see Naomi Klein at Dal – you have a lot of nerve.

This is an issue akin to people smoking in bus shelters. I think it is in everyone’s best interest that you speak up rather than stand and simmer. A polite, “Excuse me, but the end of the line is back there/over there, etc.” typically works. Usually if one person will say something a host of others will voice their agreement. Manners are key.
That was probably me. I apologize, you’re right, that was a really rude thing to do. We all do asshole things sometimes, and I guess that was my time to shine. But it was a good lecture wasn’t it?
