But of course, dear Jane. :)I thought it was required. Especially if they make nice pleading faces or particularly entertaining begging gestures. Actually I enjoy it most when they don't seem to expect it at all, although it takes a bit longer.
But... if they zoom up to the front of the line and then cavalierly expect to merge into the only continuing lane, it's a different story. That requires gestures expressing that they are from out of town and had absolutely no idea that they needed to merge, are dreadfully ashamed, quite understand if you would never ever allow them in front of you, and are perfectly willing to wait until it is their turn. After all, there are standards to maintain!
