So I get in line and this chubby woman is standing first in line in section B. She has her arms outward a bit and she looks all tense and firm. I go to get in front of her and I say "I think I am here" she cuts me off mid sentance and says rudely "where ever you are its behind me". I look at her ticket and she has B-22.

So there you have it.

I would have firmly said "I'm sorry, but you are incorrect. I have B1 and I am first."

I have had to do it as an A-16. It is a shame we have to be self-enforcing of this, but it is the current state of affairs.
