How To Cut In Line and Not Get Caught

ewenc writes "A psychology study of hundreds of people waiting for front-row access to U2 concerts points to the best ways to cut in line and not get caught. 'Super-fans' are most irked by queue-jumpers. People were equally peeved whether someone cut in front or behind, and cutters who jumped beside a friend were less likely to attract scorn."

    ...THESE GUYS! Seriously, can anyone explain a possible application for this research, other than acting like a prick?

    As we move more and more through Socialism and on to Communism we'll need to know everything there is to know about standing in line. As population productivity drops and supplies start to run out everyone will be standing in line in order to get what they need. People will stand in line just to find out what line they need to be standing in. Think of the DMV only on a national level. Yes, it's an Obama Nation.
