Man Who Cuts Line Gets Bloody Comeuppance

Somewhere in the depths of hell, not far from the child abusers and the Nickelback fans, there's a special ring of torment set aside for people who cut lines. At least, there ought to be, because anyone who consciously cuts a line or weasels ahead by pretending to be oblivious—or "friends" with someone—is a parasitical enemy to civilization, and must be dealt with accordingly. Which is why this vague little item in the Post police blotter warms our hearts so: A restaurant patron at Via Dei Mille in Soho was waiting on line for the bathroom like a civilized human being Saturday when some low-life tried to jump the line. Cops say our hero "went ballistic" and broke the line-cutter's nose with a bottle. At press time, it's unclear what charges the line-cutter faces.

I was once in line on the Lower East Side, not in the Lower East Side.

"I was once in line on the Lower East Side"

WRONG in NYC!

Were your raised here? Doesn't sound like it. I was.

NYCSpeak= "I was once ON line ON the Lower East Side,"

Lol, I've had this problem @ the local Pathmark by my home with older women . They try schmoozing up on an intended target, stare you in the face with a polite, innocent smile and cut right in front of you . If you say something to them, They act like they don't hear you , Or they don't speak english . The first time , I let it go realizing that she was doing it on purpose and wasn't in both a hurry, nor the mood to argue . Then she thought, "I got my another sucker here" and tried it again . Suffice to say she got embarrassed infront of a store full of shoppers and hasn't tried skipping me , OR tried skipping anyone on the line that I'm waiting on ! People today for the most part are Selfish, Ignorant, Lazy, Assholes whom only care about what they want and to hell with everybody else .

Get out of the line. Get out of the line! GET OUT OF THE LINE!!!

I guess they'll be extra nice to him in jail. But seriously, why not just say, "Excuse me asshole, back of the line." and THEN kick his ass when he doesn't?

Wza

Act up, you get smacked up....or in this case, cut up.

thefacts

I have no ax to grind with the joint. I don't know the owners. I just report what I am told and what has been written.

Check this out. If this is "brunch", what happens after midnight? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89mNFeott_s

No matter what your opinion is on dancing in bars, (I have no problem with it), check out these poseurs. Needless to say, they have no cabaret license. They have speakers blasting out onto W. Bdwy I've been told, and threaten neighbors who complain.

Wow. This place is in Jersey, right? Or is it just that there's a whole lot of dirty Jersey in this place?

NannyState

Seriously. Why are they holding a casting call for Jersey Shore in Farmingdale and not this dump?

JacqueMehoff

they're not jersey shore people, they're what this city has become. NYC is like their college dorm, quad, or whatever.

I say that because notice the comment on that youtube clip was a guy saying "NIIIIICCCCEEEE!" now who says that? to wit.

This morning at the Whole Foods (yes, I know, but they have good beer) this old lady tried to cut. You know how they have those three lanes, and the screens that announce which lane is next? Well she saw mine come up, and tried to take it from the next lane over.

Here's the win, though. The cashier saw it, told her to just hang out for a second while she checked me out, and then proceeded to check me out sloooooowly, while the lady just stood there next to us. The cashier even stopped to chat with me for a bit.

Had the old broad not tried to cut, she'd have been out in seconds -- but instead she just stood there, waiting, and fuming. There are so few moments in my life that are full of win, but this morning was one of them.

thewildpansy

Perhaps she didn't understand how your yuppie line works, you fuck.

my all-time favorite is koningshoeven trappist quadrupel. it's hard to come by, so i gave up.

Guest

brooklyn local 2 is my current favorite. ooohh....

ok, i might go get some later.

Thespis

Yeah, good stuff -- but I've never figured out why they can't stick it in a sixer rather than the 750ml bottles. So I was just picking up some Goose Island and a hefe.

If you're looking for the Koningshoeven, the Beer Advocate beer locator says that it's been seen at the Union Square Whole Foods -- though that was two years ago, so they may no longer carry it.

thefacts

Btw, there are NO "civilized" people who go to Via Dei Mille.

The owners are thugs if not downright gangsters.

My friend lives next door and says all the neighbors constantly complain about their illegal activities and racket. Time does not permit me to list them.

When my friend went to complain, the next week he discovered his dog was dead from poisoned meat that someone threw over the fence from Via Dei Mille .

Did you hear that, Felix?
