Rude to walk in front of people in your same group/zone just before boarding?

If your airline boards by zone, and you’re standing within a few feet of the boarding lane and boarding is about to start, do you consider it rude if someone in your same zone/group walks right in front of you? Particularly if the person sees your group number?

For example, if you’re standing within 2 feet of the American Airlines pole at the gate that states “Zones 1-4” (and the gate agent has told everyone not to stand in the boarding lane), you’re holding your boarding pass that says “Zone 2”, visible to other people, and another person walks up, eyes your boarding pass and you see the person’s phone that also shows “Zone 2”, and the person says, “I’m also Zone 2” and walks right in front of you?

Or, for example, if you’re in the first zone that boards and everyone in your zone has lined up, but people standing elsewhere, not in line, just walk in front of you?

Do you get irked? Do you say anything?
