1920 Fleetwood Chron. 8 Oct. 8/4 The latest [scheme to regulate traffic]—that of entering ships on a queue system from the Humber—has had beneficial results, but trawler-owners have had to deal with the ‘queue jumpers’, who, failing to keep the line, have been responsible for serious collisions and damage.

1936 Sunday Mirror 23 Feb. 38/3 Just as every rose must have its thorn every queue must have its queue-jumper. It is a nasty, sneaking little vice, and the man who indulges in it is the sort of worm who pinched his brother's sweets in the nursery.

1960 Guardian 17 June 2/3 There are three types [of private patients]—the snobs..the queue-jumpers..and the business executive.

1968 Daily Tel. 13 Nov. 14/7 A major hindrance to smooth traffic-flow is the queue-jumper, who invariably gets stuck.

1999 D. Haslam Manchester, Eng. iv. 95 Sweeney, an unhesitating queue-jumper, was, for once, left out in the cold.
