Dear Mochness, I know this is long overdue, but I did make a promise to compile this list.. so here you go..
Check out the first Frogman lesson in Etiquette
· The queue is a lie
· You are more important than everyone else in the queue
· The most efficient queues are parallel to the counter
· When approaching a queue, feel free to start a new one, the already existing queue is soo last season
· When jumping the queue, do it silently while avoiding eye contact
· Acting like everyone else is invisible helps
· When approaching a busy counter, start making your order immediately
· Waiving your money around helps
· Never apologize for cutting a queue… NEVER
· If you actually stood in the queue, feel free to take as much time as you want while ordering, you obviously did not have enough time to prepare for this difficult decisive moment
· Finishing your phone call while ordering is also acceptable
· Women are allowed to cut queues… Nay, they must cut queues. God forbid they stand amongst the men.

Place: IKEA's cashier queue
I was standing in line with my mother and in front of me was a man standing in line like everyone else.
As soon as that man's turn arrived, a lady and her daughter zoomed in in front of me. I explained that this is a line and it is rude to cut it; the lady explains that she was in line but only too shy to stand behind a man in line.
So, she cuts in line AND implies that I lack proper manners, as i was standing behind a man. What does that make me? a prostitute?!
Keep in mind i was covering my hair, and so was my mother. but the lady and her daughter had Abayas on their heads and face covers, which would lead them to deem themselves morally superior regardless of their acts.
seriously, m3a99ibni al mawdoo3 till now!!
Ha ha! Thanks for making me smile, Froggers, since I've had and am still having a crappy day =(
You forgot to add that you're obliged to push your way through the nonexistent queue!
Loved every single rule. It shows that this is well thought out. And I'm glad to see that you've kept your promise and made this post. Thank you!
Good post Frogman!
Souma: men jed shay ye3a9ib!
Mochness: Hope u have a better day :-D
Thank you very much, Saudi Dawn =*
LOL. Funny post.
Now only if there was a way to make this applicable on the ATM queues
LMFAO hilarious!!
Miss Souma:(see a I got it right this time)
How dare you stand behind a man.. you should be ashamed of yourself, to be that close in proximity to the dominant gender.. you must be crazy to think yourself equal..
wallah i don't blame you innik mi3a99iba.. one day we will evolve as a culture.. one day..
Mocha le Monster:
I hope your crappy day ended giving room to a better day to come through..
and of course I came through.. frogs ALWAYS come through..
The dawn of the Saudis:
