One of the side effects of novice queuers barging into an established queue at the wrong point or - heaven forbid - _jumping_ the queue is queue rage. This is characterised by loud tutting and meaningful glares, sometimes accompanied by ostentatious arm-folding and foot-tapping. The symptoms may worsen if the miscreant remains unaware of their actions, or worse still, appears blatantly unrepentant. A sufferer of queue rage may experience feelings of high-level irritation for several hours after the event in the most acute cases.
This is a little recognised syndrome, and is prevalent mainly in the UK.

I'm flattered.
By the way, pastime is spelt pastime or past-time and not pass-time.

I thought it was but you know how you can get complete mental blocks on the easiest of words and I just couldn't spell it. I typed it pastime and it didn't look right. Neither did pass-time but it was a 50/50 chance Thanks.
