Doesn't happen at our Timmies, they only take one order at a time now.
Before though, they used to reach out and slap you silly, once you got to the window.
Not sure about your last comment, but it sounds racist, so I'll tiptoe softly away.

I can't say about who was more wrong.
But a comment about social manners and the lack of them lately.
If it was your neighbour. You see him everyday. Have beer with him in the summer. Cut his lawn for him when it needs it. He cuts your lawn for you when you are busy. You have known him for years. And you will see him tomorrow, and the day after that too.
Would you have done the same?
I don't think so.
Why? Cause you would know it was rude. You did it cause you didn't know him and knew you would never see him again.
I was always taught that your actions are unacceptable if you would treat the person differently if you knew them.

All these uncaring types of attitudes seem to be enforced in cities in the Western World only, from my experience, because the relationship between two beings in here is not bounded by connections and common ground, but rules and even law or something. The dynamics and forces within this society is F'ed, IMO.
Hence, the behavioural retardism towards one another.
And my favorite one is - every now and then, someone goes to the country side for a ride and gets something nice done by someone without the expectation of return, and comes back telling "woohoo they love motorcyclists up there".. well, who knew LOL

I say OP is the problem with society. What makes one's person time more valuable than others. If someone was there first, would it have been impossible to stop behind him and wait for him to go to the first available ATM?
This mentality that one is in a constant battle with the next guy is what makes everyone so bitter and dislike the world around them.

Each machine has its' own dedicated lane? Straddling divider line is much celebrated out of the box thinking. Zipping around burst party balloon. Loosing mind, honking, yelling are hallmarks of aggrieved parties the world over. You were not wrong. Little chuckle? Well played.

Fortunate that my vehicle is long enough to block three lanes.
Nobody, gets to piss me off but my kids.
Well put!
Interesting.
I had to stop to think about the #ing scenario for a moment.
Would I have seen something wrong with it or would I use it to my advantage.
And through my thought process, it all came back to society expectations. For example, if you knew all 20 people that had a # ahead of you, most would not take the gift of a # that queue jumped.
But without knowling the people ahead of you in line, most would take the gift # and jump the gueue.
No?
I don't get the first example at all. There should be nothing unethical about taking the ticket. What if you get a free ticket to the football game after they've all sold out and your seat is way better than most others?
That's a different scenario.
Read my post from above. Imagine everyone else is your friend, your aunt in a wheelchair, your boss, whoever......just people you know....you would still jump the line?
If you wouldn't....that is the ethical dilemma.
If you still would....well then.....
"Yo guys! Pete, Doug, Ed, listen up! Jack here is takin' off and wants to gimme his ticket. Ok wit you guys?"
"'Fo sho, dawg! Why you even gots ta ask?"
"Cool, cool."
Well there you go....no ethical issues then
My time is more valuable than everyone else's. That's why.
Everyone hates that douchehammer that stays in a lane that ends till the very end then forces his way in............. yet in other circumstances the same selfish behavior should be acceptable? You people are ruhtard.

I need a clarification.
You went around the his right side in a defined lane. That's fair imho. Did you stay in the right lane? Was the first available ATM in the right lane? If you had swung over to the left lane that would be dooshy imho.

2 defined lanes, 2 atm's, one at the end of each individual lane. Guy sat in the middle waiting and staddling both lanes Went around on the right, in the lane (there was ample room) went to the atm on the right.

It is not the same.
Tickets for a football game are sold (creating a contract between buyer and seller). Everyone with a ticket can watch the game at the same time. The game is a one-time event only. How would you get a free ticket? As a gift or a prize.
Tickets with numbers to organize people as they wait for service are governed by the social contract. Not everyone can get service at the same time. The service is not a one-time event, it is ongoing forever (or as long as the company is in business). Having a ticket with a lower number represents personal gain.
