Self-centered =X= Not observant

Have you ever wanted to alight from the MRT or bus, and seeing many people also wanting to alight? So what do you do? Most of us will just stand at the back of the 'queue', right?

Notice that once in a while, there are always someone who decide to push and 'cut queue' despite of the 'queue'. The obvious behavior of normal human being when wanting to alight will be to stand facing the door, especially when someone get from the back of the bus, or get up from their seats to stand facing the door. I think usually that is not because they saw something interesting on the door, but an obvious body language that says, "I am going down this stop". So do you think those people who 'cut the queue' are not able to read the body signal or just want to 'cut the queue'?

Sometimes I think that they know, they just wanna be the first one who get off the bus/train.

Sometimes you queue up at like infront of 2 ATM, there will either be 1 queue for each ATM, or just only 1 queue right in the middle for both ATM, so that whichever ATM user had left, the next-in-line will just go to that ATM. Right?

Have you seen people who sort of see the queue, and they decide that, "these people are weird. There are obviously 2 ATM, why are these 10 person queue for only 1 ATM? I guess I will just queue at the other ATM."

Is that really what they think or do they just choose to act blur when someone tap on their shoulder and inform them that we are all queuing for both the ATM?
