That reminds me of a story from a guy I worked with.
I'm not sure where he worked but it involved a queue of people. He said someone asked him if they could be given priority for their problem to be looked at before others in the queue. In other words jump to the head of the queue.
He said "Sure!" to the surprise of the person asking "But you do realize I will do that for anyone else who asks the same thing?"
So they person chose to remain in their place in line.
