    Frankly, I may do nothing.

    But also, it depends on what the person’s purpose behind it was, like if they really needed to, idk.

    It may depend on my desperation too.

    depending on the person, I think it’s best to say assertively “excuse me, the line begins back there” while squinting and pointing

    Depends what the line is for and what kind of relative hurry we are in. Are we waiting for food in a cafeteria? Not a big deal. Seats at an event that is a first-come, first-served basis? Bigger issue. It affects everyone behind me too, not just me.

    I’d likely say something, but not create a big fuss about it if they’re dead set on it.

      The actual answer. Only difference is that I’d just cut infront right after and then say something so that social pressure is directed from both sides.

    Looks like you were bothered. Why? That might help figuring out the appropriate reaction.

    Feels like you felt personally attacked for being the one they chose to cut in front to. If that’s the case, a clear “hey, please find somewhere else in the line to cut in front to” might be enough to get them to at least swap places with you. It acknowledges them, is polite, but firm.
