    Depends what is at stake I guess. I let the little things slide, but some things trigger me. Cutting in line will always lead to me calling someone out, as will littering.

    However if I get cutoff in traffic or something I don't even care.

      So... you cut back in line yourself, and had no problem with it?

            I was asked by a Post Office employee to proceed ....

            And No, I had no problem with it.

              I've never lost my place in line at the PO, usually when I forget to fill out a certain form I ask the counter lady if I have to get back in line and she tells me to come back to the front. My sister on the other hand, she called out a brutha at the PO for cutting in line and he called her and and another woman a bitch, she proceeded to go ghetto on him and he just sat there with a stupid look on his face and went to the back of the line. I'm sure he wasn't expecting that crazy girls tirade...

                I pick my battles. If it's a major injustice or important enough to try and influence the outcome, I'll take it on, but it has to be pretty major. Cutting in line doesn't make the cut.

                    I avoid confrontation as much as possible, especially when it comes to arguing. I can't argue or debate over anything once I get upset. I once heard that A man that resorts to violence is a man with nothing to say. It's hard for me to use my words sometimes so I'll start a slap fight.

                      I really couldn't care less if someone cuts in a line. It is just me and certain things set me off but line cutting just isn't one of them.

                        Depends on your attitude. If you were courteous and explained yourself I'd give you your spot back. If approached with an attitude and said that "you just gonna cut.." nonsense I'd tell you to get bent.

                            Yeah anything to do with a line of people, I will usually just let it go if someone happens to beat me out of a spot. Usually they have no evil intentions, but... sometimes they are just brought up wrong.

                            One time at the airport a lady violated the unsaid rule that you let one person from each line of carry on tray filling / shoe removing / laptop in its own tray proceed into the body scanner - she completely cut, then I backed up and let her go in front of me, to which she said "First time flying, huh?" Now that statement was funny right there since it really was about the 1187th time flying and am quite efficient at all airport related steps of the process.

                            But instead of suggesting that she go fuck her ghetto self in the asshole with a high heeled shoe I just smiled. I felt just fine knowing I didn't have a chip on my shoulder that day.

                            Same with traffic. Cut me off, beat me to a lane change, etc., and I will just smile and let you pass on by. I'm serene like that now, LOL

                              This is just a question asking if you would have said anything. This isnt about fighting, carrying etc... I am not, and was not rude to the lady.

                              Picture a loud , older gypsy woman. She didnt think or care about anyone in there but herself. I helped her find a pen for crying out loud.. Ha.

                                Depends on what it is. Certain silly things do set me off, but for the most part, I think I am more likely to let stuff slide than the average guy. I wouldn't have said anything about her getting her spot back.

                                The traffic thing is different. If someone cuts me off, I honk. If they throw an apologetic wave, I wave back. If they don't, I give them the one finger salute, and leave it at that. When I was younger, I'd make it a point to cut them off and maybe yell shit out the window. I don't do that shit anymore.

                                Just gotta pick your battles.
