Stop being mad at people who cut the line and do it yourself
Summary
A subway rider thinks you should stop complaining about line cutters and just cut the line yourself. At least after dark. Kareem pushes back hard on this take, insisting we need more order, not more chaos. The rider explains her philosophy: during the day she's polite at coffee shops, but nighttime events like the Ciza and Kronada afterparty require strategic cutting or you're not getting in. There are exceptions though. TSA? Too much light. Bathroom lines? That's extreme, even after Millie Bobby Brown cut her once. The final verdict establishes zones: clubs and donut shops are fair game for savages to cut away, but post offices, bathrooms, and anything important remain sacred. It's a surprisingly detailed code of conduct for someone who openly admits to being a cutter.

So, what's your take? Stop being mad at people who cut the line and do it yourself.
100% disagree. I'm sorry.
Really? Yeah. I don't think we need more cutters. I think we need more order.
Don't cut in the grocery store. You're being a jerk. Like, but after the sun goes down, any rules? After the sun goes down, it's the purge for lines.
Yes. So, there's two types. You have your like typical events. Okay. So, this requires usually a ticket or something. I went to um the Ciza and Kronada afterparty. Huge line. Okay. It was wrapping, wrapping, wrapping around. I knew if I went to the back of the line, I was not getting in. So, I had to cut. Now, people were mad. They were mad at me, but I wasn't the only one cutting.
But if everyone's cutting, then no one's getting in. If you're not going to do it, like, someone else is going to do it.
Well, I, I look, I I think that cutting is bad. You have to know the time and place. You know, you have to seize your opportunity. It's like, you have to, you know, ameliorate a little bit. You have to do what's right.
And this is after hours only. Yes. Daytime, I'm very polite. I don't cut the line at the coffee shop.
What about TSA? TSA. Cut the line. You wouldn't cut the TSA one.
There's light in there. I think you need to do it under the cover of darkness for sure. Sneaky.
You know who cut me in line? Millie Bobby Brown. And I was like, you know what, girl?
I don't care that she's a celebrity. She shouldn't be able to cut it. No, it was fierce.
Why is she cutting me? It was the bathroom light line, which is kind of douchy. You know?
If I cut a bathroom line, people are going to be very mad at me. I wouldn't cut a bathroom line. That's a little extreme.
I think for bathroom, TSA, waiting for like something important, going to the post office, no cutting. Yeah, we, we've got to keep it class. I think for lines that don't matter, such as the club or the in-and-out donut shop that just opened up.
Okay. Cut away, savages. Cut the out of that line.
