I'm assuming they are overly-entitled SEs (thats redundant, I know) but whatever right. You're Zone one is better than my Zone 1.
Narcissism and entitlement do not justify using these terms...except if one is an entitled-narcissist, I guess (more redundant terms, I know).
The only time I've "pushed" people out of the way was there was a boarding call for zone 1 and a bunch of people were standing around the entrance to the 1/2 lane, blocking it. They clearly weren't zone 1.
I've never seen someone say "I'm zone X, stand aside" as they push past. I have no doubt it happens, but it certainly isn't common.
And standing in the zone 1 line does not mean you think you're the only zone 1 or the most important zone 1. It just means you're standing where you're supposed to.
You're describing actions that no one here has ever even discussed committing, but attributing them to everyone who uses the term "gate lice".
