Re: Germans, a question?

Actual German here. It's sadly very true in certain situations. Not really as extreme as elbowing people out of the way but it certainly involves a lot of crowding and pushing. However, as I said, it entirely depends on the kind of queue. Queuing in stores is serious business (people get really annoyed if you-even accidentally- skip in line). Same goes for things like museums (especially when there is a popular exhibition etc.
But (non classical) concerts? It may start out in a nice queue as long as the location is still closed, but as soon as the gates/doors are open, there will be crowding and pushing. Happens a lot with bus stops as well.

So yeah, your prof may have gone a bit overboard with the descriptions but Germans aren't great a queuing. It probably also depends on the generation: it got better in the recent years.
