What make us stand in queue???

We all know how tiring is waiting to get a movie ticket on the releasing day, standing in a long queue. Still we wait there until we get a ticket…

Let me ask you why we can’t intrude into a queue and get a ticket, so that we save our time also there won’t be any uncertainty that what if the ticket finishes, since there are no written rules saying ‘cutting a queue is a crime’…

Or what if someone cuts the line and gets a few tickets? Never mind let’s have a thought experiment.

You are in the middle of a queue of 200 people. You’ve been standing there for half an hour. A person say ‘Mr. X’, for whom you are an unknown, comes and asks you if you will allow him and his friends to cut the line and to stand in front of you. You are allowed to say either yes or no
What would you say, if Mr. X is,
* Someone who live in a flat near your house
* A local politician
* Our prime minister Mr. Modi
* Previous PM Mr. Manmohan Singh
* A television serial actor
* Film star Amitabh Bhachchan/ Rajnikanth
* Mr. Kejriwal
* A teenager
* A youth

Were those answers the same? What made your answers different? (If your answers were the same you don’t have to read further ;) )
The next question is who has the right to cut the line???

Did you know, in our ancient age...when our ancestors lived in forest… Who forcefully cut the line was the hero…
