I think that I have a bit of a temper, too, but I do try to keep it in check ~ and succeed most of the time. I did shout at my elder son when he was little and I really feel great remorse about that now. The one other person who sets me off is my Mum for some reason. I'm not happy about that, either.

It's strange that the people who know me or have known me are probably divided into two camps ~ those who find me infinitely patient & easy-going and those who find me very argumentative, with little patience & a short temper.

Re mainland European bus queues ~ they don't exist; it's just a free-for-all.
