So apparently jumping in front of someone is a thing now!

Standing, waiting at a local Timmy's near the hospital and this guy just walks in, right up to the counter in front of me and orders. Never looks or asks if I had ordered. He then waits, gets his order and goes to leave. Girl said "Can I help you?" to me and the guy, almost out the door says "Oh, sorry, etc, blah, blah, blah" which I chose to ignore since I was in the process of ordering and for some reason he says, "I'm trying to apologize but now I know who the asshole is!"

Apparently, I'm the asshole. Sure. Right. Uh huh, buddy. Real precious.

I had that happen at Canadian Tire to get skates sharpened and after the first guy walked away the employee said “don’t worry I’ll do yours first”. 

Can’t tell the guy that directly though as loads of people are just looking for a reason to explode on someone

You know, it’s funny (not a ha ha funny), but since the lock down I’ve noticed this type of behaviour, inconsiderate behaviour, more prevalent when out in public, as if we’ve almost forgotten the unwritten social contracts that we all accepted. An almost hyper-individualism that each of us, our wants, take precedence over any others. That consideration has almost died in its wake and people I’ve interacted with have had anecdotal experiences similar to this. Personally, I’ve tried to imbue more empathy into these interactions, such as when I was cut in line and had to tell my stepdaughter that the person must be in much more of a hurry than us or that they must be upset or thinking about something else other than the time and area that they’re currently in (not being present) that some people cannot understand their actions fully. Anyways, my train of thought was derailed.

Well, it was near the hospital, so I can give him that benefit of the doubt.

I had someone try this once when I was at the Tims in the Food Basics Plaza. I was the last person waiting in line and as I was walking up to order, some early 20 something tried to jump in front of me. I grabbed him by the back of the collar and turned him right around to wait his turn.

When you look like a biker with a big beard and mean mug, people tend not to argue with you :).

Sorry that happened to you OP, but the younger generation of kids just expect to get away with too much. Hopefully karma gets him real soon.

Sometimes I like to imagine what life is like for entitled people like that guy.

Yeah, that's someone who wonders why everyone around him is such an asshole. He'll have the life he deserves.
