It never ceases to amaze me at the arrogance of some of our fellow Stouffville GO train riders.
As we all know, people who take the GO train regularly line up where they know their door to the train will stop, and an orderly queue is created every day to board the train. On a regular basis there will be one or two people who will arrive just as the train arrives, and they will proceed to walk right to the front of the line, oblivious of the dozens of people that have been waiting patiently to board the train. Now it has been brought to my attention of a few situations where people have been reminded that there is a line, and they don't seem to care.
This is where we need to suggest a "deterrant" for ignorance or a lack of manners. I would suggest the following list of possiblities:
1. A classic such as a pie in the face. ( making it shaving cream so they can't actually enjoy it )
2. Send Bruno out to "introduce" them to the end of the line.
3. A dousing of water followed by a bucket of baby powder. ( stick it to them )
4. Give them the best seat in the house, duct taped to the front of the train.
If you have any other suggestions for encourage people to use their manners, please contribute!

Nice posting. So as Canadians there are a couple more options I can think of. First there is the unfailingly polite Canadian trying to be sarcastic "Oh I'm so sorry, was I in front of you ?".
Then there's the sporting Canadian who body checks the interloper into the side of the train, drops the gloves and pounds him/her senseless. "Two minutes for necessary roughness on the GO !".
