Ooops! I'm terribly sorry...

Ooops! I’m terribly sorry...
Generally, I find people to be courteous and polite.  If someone makes an honest mistake, people usually understand, and the person who made the mistake is overly apologetic. 
The scene:
It’s 5pm on the Friday of a long weekend.  The liquor store is a mob scene.  In order to expedite the process of purchasing the libations for the weekend’s festivities, customers have formed a communal line.  The line is at least 30 people deep and extends through the middle of the store.  The mood is somewhat jovial. 
Enters:
 A toffee-nosed looking gentleman wearing a tweed cap and driving gloves (You know the gloves I’m talking about.  The ones with all the holes in the back) saunters up to a cashier with only one person in line.  Boy that was lucky for him wasn’t it.  I guess he thought all of the people in line weren’t observant enough to see the cashier with only one person in its line.  “Excuse me bud!  The line starts back there!  Hey, I said EXCUSE ME!”  The flat capped twit also thinks that if he does not make direct eye contact with the offended he may continue his business and pretend that he didn’t jump the cue.  I hope your Jaguar gets a flat!
