Lines

I stand in lines at Vapiano's to have my pasta made to order, or to order a pizza. I stand in lines at the bank, the grocery store check-out stand, the post office, and the ticket counter at the train station. I stand in lines at the cafeteria at work, to enter a revolving door in a mall, to get in to see a movie. Lines are everywhere here.

So why the hell do people rush in front of me when I'm stepping onto a train, a tram, a bus, an escalator at the Zurich Haupt Bahnhoff, or passport control at the airport? Why don't the same queuing rules apply in these situations? And why is it ok to pick your nose in public here, or sneeze all over everyone? What about these things are not staying within certain lines?
