One thing we can all agree is vital to British culture is the mystical queue.
No matter where you go across the country, you will find Brits queuing up for anything whether it's at a shop, the loos, or an ATM. However, where many of us may falter is when it comes to boarding a train.
It's not uncommon for people to barge their way onto a busy carriage after waiting patiently on a platform. In fact, the sacred rules of the queue seem to go out the window whenever a train pulls up to the station, the Mirror reports.

Despite this, one passenger on Mumsnet shared how she got her recenge on a rude passenger while waiting for the last train home. She wrote: "I arrived at the platform, it's mobbed - last train from the city. I position myself close to the boundary line. One man stood beside me also close to the boundary for getting on the train. The rest of his group stood back but regardless it's impossible to say where carriage doors will stop.
"I was on his left. The train stopped with the doors close to him on his right, he walked to the door then made a big show of letting everyone to his right on first holding his left arm out behind him to block me or anyone else on his left. Everyone to his right boarded.
"He then walked on, positioned himself beside the only remaining table for four then began nodding and pointing to his own group of people behind me." Thanks to the man's interference, many of the seats had become occupied, so she decided to take matters into her own hands.
"I walked onto carriage, ignored him pointing to the table to people behind me and sat down at the table for our," she continued. "His three companions came behind me and the four of them began sitting down, standing up, staring pointedly at me, offering each other a seat, staring at me again - all the while the seats around them disappearing.
"One of their party could have sat alone. I'm now surrounded by three seated passengers glaring at me and one stubbornly standing passenger.
She added: "Am I being unreasonable to think if they wanted to sit down they should have made it their business to board and find seats instead of expecting everyone else to acquiesce to their 'manners' and wait to see what seats they deemed available?"
Explaining why she decided to sit at a table and not an empty two-seated, she said: "They feel so enclosed, I'd hate to be on the inside of some drunk strange man."
One person replied: "Well done you - what a d** he was." "Sounds like he had given himself the role of being in charge of the carriage. What an arrogant p***k," said a second.
Another added: "That's very odd behaviour. I can't understand what he was thinking! He made the choice to have a low chance of sitting together by delaying his boarding. That's entirely on him."
