In the UK we love queuing, its a national obsession. Every now and then you meet someone who the rules don’t apply! Met one this evening.

So, I went to our local Fish and Chip van early. Wanted to order everything for collection in about 30 mins. Great, spend the next 25 mins sitting in the car scrolling through stuff.

Got out of the car, and as I assumed my place in the queue, a knob (aka a person who normal rules don’t apply) pull up in his bling rover (Land Rover that is never going off-road!). He slides out of the car and just heads me off at the queue. Basically, he pushed in. No sweat, I know my order is being dealt with. So I wait…

At the perfect moment, with out a word to the knob, who has assumed the wallet in hand pose on the counter, I step forward to collect the order. No problem, I’m handed my order.

Thanks knob.

    Is the petty revenge in the room with us?

    Love the term “bling rover.” I’ve always called vehicles that will never go off-road a pavement princess.

    Bling-Rover, lol, I have always called them ‘Toorak Tractors’. Toorak Road is a road in an affluent area of Melbourne, Australia. Not sure h9w wide spread its use is.
