For people waiting for something (e.g. boarding a plane, buying a ticket for the movies, etc.) you can have two extreme behaviours:

1) Queueing every time possible: as George Mikes writes in his book "How to be an alien", in England you even see a single person actually queueing!

2) Greeks waiting: even with only two of us waiting, we all want to be the first one.

I remember this guy at Punta Arenas in Patagonia pushing his way through the people standing in line and continuously loudly complaining in Greek because the line was moving slowly (details: 5:30 am, ~60 passengers for an A320, GA was visually checking the BPs).
