    ^^ I drive in the USA a lot but similar situations in Ireland probably. Tried to find a video, below sums it up.

    Fair dues to him for not emptying all his shopping on to the belt before heading off - now THAT is annoying and is a regular thing in Aldi/Lidl.

    Well, sometimes people remember something they forgot AFTER emptying their shopping on to the belt. I suppose you could say they should put all their stuff back into the trolley when that happens, but be honest, would you?

    By the way, "many is the time" is not a phrase in the English language and it wouldn't mean what you think it means if there was.

    I also think they don't know what 'recidivist' means. :p

    Yeah I was wondering about that. I thought maybe it meant someone who repeats the same behaviour - any kind of behaviour - over and over, but googling the definition it appears to refer specifically to criminal behaviour.

    In fairness, "Many is the time" does exist - even if it's olde worlde. And it was used correctly by the poster.

    As for buses, most stops serve several routes so how can you form a queue when you don't know who is waiting for what bus? Like most people, I just stand around to in the general area of the stop and when the bus I am waiting for approaches I walk to the kerb. If the bus doors happen to open right in front of me I will of course step on first. If they happened to open in front of someone who had just turned up, well that's just the luck of the draw so what's the point in getting worked up about it?

    Totally agree on all this. With most stops serving multiple routes, bus queues are just too difficult to govern. I never get mad at perceived queue jumping at bus stops as it's too chaotic and I genuinely believe that most people who do it in bus queues usually aren't queue skippers.

    how can you jump a bus queue in Ireland when no-one actually queue's properly in the first place anyway? It's always been a massive free for all when the bus turns up regardless of where anyone is actually standing pre arrival.

    I think the bus queue jumping is more referring to people elbowing past when there are a lot of people at the stop (like Nassau Street for example), after the bus has arrived. Seen it plenty, and from what I have seen it is almost exclusively elderly women for that particular one.
