The full range of human decency (and lack thereof) is on display at the airport security line. When you are stuck in a seemingly endless and motionless security line, it's increasingly hard to remember that patience is a virtue. It's far easier to roll your eyes and complain that you have the worst luck of anyone you know, which of course is not true considering that hundreds of other people are stuck in the same exact line. In short, it's easy to forget that other people are dealing with the same exact struggle. Call it narcissism, call it main character syndrome… whatever it is, the struggle is real.

Now, there is a difference between acting like you're the only person who's hurting from this endless security line and having the actual audacity to make everyone else's lives worse by cutting the line. We may all have a version of main character syndrome, but it takes a special kind of person to be that entitled and that audacious. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating subreddit, and let's just say that we felt OP's frustration in our bones reading his account of this story.
