I get it, but I'd be worried that someone approaching the queue would see the big gap and mistake it for the back of the line. Then, instead of zig zagging through from the back, they duck under the ropes in front of her. She'd have her face buried in her phone and wouldn't notice. SO, this puts me in a position of having to watch out for such an occurrence - which stresses me out.

She should just move the fuck up.

Or the queue could get so long that it is no longer within the allotted space and is now obstructing other passengers. It's true that it is the same for HER if she moves along or waits, but that is not necessarily true for everyone else.

Yeah if more followed her logic it would be a bad scene

I was going to post saying she isn't wrong but you changed my opinion. Brb grabbing my pitchfork

There's presumably people behind her so you'd have to walk past other people in line to do that.
