I can just imagine it now...
Me: "I was here first...serve me first...they are pushing in".
Other person: "Prove it! she is lying! I was here before her, so I should be served first!"
Me: "Would you like to accompany me to the parking lot and we shall let our fists decide who was here first?"
Me: *takes out knife and stabs them anyway*
There is a reason why I am like I am... It is more preferable to the alternative...hang around here for a bit longer and you may get to know and even like me.

What is the reason? That would help to get to know you better.
I don't know if you are aware of it but you have come across as being defensive. The way you think I have made assumptions based on not knowing you but I deliberately avoided that, I only based my post on what you posted as it is not possible to know someone from a couple of forum posts! That and you assume I do not like you. To be honest I have no idea as I do not know you well enough to like you or not.
Your dialogue and narrative of what might have happened if you had asserted yourself is odd and quite extreme. Why would you assume someone might stab you, or otherwise get violent, just for you asserting yourself in a queue? It does match your other post of where you perceived your head would be cut off and then you gave in and surrendered to another's will. That was my point, there are parallels in your thoughts (as described by you only - not assumed) and actions you posted. It was just an observation. Anyone on the spiritual path understands we must listen to others if we are to learn, and some of that comes from observations of ourselves from others, sometimes uncomfortable ones.
