Nah, move your ass forwards. It's no different to you right there in that point in the line.
But at the back of the line its no longer people queuing in the barriers, they have started making up their own queue which has now branched off in two directions and new people arent sure which branch to join. Other people are trying to get to something on the other side of these queues and have to squeeze past people.
I get the logic, and it's quite a good point if you have unlimited space for the queue, but stop being so entitled and move your stinky ass up the queue.
Another point is the perception of progress. We all enjoy a progress bar that gradually fills up to one that sits at 20% then jumps to 100. It reduces our anxiety.
Looks kinda empty to me in the picture
You can't even see the line behind the lady that is stopped. We have no perspective here. Looks empty from this specific angle, but what's behind her in the line? There could be hundreds of people for all we know.
Exactly, we don't know, so let's not insult her until we have the full context.
She's not on trial, there's no punishment for judgement. We are discussing that the situation that is being caused is non-optimal for society and you should tend to move forward with the line at a comfortable pace.
There's very little upside for leaving that giant gap, and quite a bit of downside if you don't pay perfect attention to the full situation in front and behind (which you aren't doing if you're staring at your phone...)
stinky bum bum
