You wouldn't do it at home, so why is it deemed acceptable to do it in an airline lounge - or perhaps I'm wrong in this assumption, and a lot of people are pigs at home as well...
I am always astounded with the pushing and shoving in around the food servers, the barrista service and the bars in the lounges in Australia. Overseas in lounges, in my experience people are more refined and dignified, however in Occa-land its fine to elbow your way through those waiting, no thought of a simple "excuse me" when trying to reach something (usually over someones shoulder), do the inside pass and grab the knife and fork out from under you just as you are reaching down to get it, grab a juice, drink it at the dispenser, then put your glass back against the lever to get a refill - a pet hate of mine (I dont want your mouth germs on the rim of my glass!)
Just this morning, while standing awaiting my Chai Tea, a suit elbowed into me to tell the Barrista his toast was stuck in the machine and about to catch fire. A useless MF in anyones mind as he wanted someone else to use the tongs to dig it out!
OK, why does this happen?
