Stoicism isn’t about suppressing emotion. It’s about having control over your reactions to emotion and making honest, honorable, and logical decisions about events that occur in your life. 
It’s about the realization and acceptance that the only thing you have control over is your personal thoughts and actions. Everything else is beyond your control and you have nothing to do with it except your reaction to it.

Sometimes the best reaction/action is nothing, because no good will come of it.

Like being pissed off in an airport…what’s the point? You aren’t the only one feeling inconvenienced. Being mad in a place I cannot escape is a waste of time and energy.

Telling the line cutter where the end of the line is in a non confrontational way would not be against stoicism. Like a “Hey, I saw what you just did there. Maybe you should do the right thing.” In not so many words. Many times they’ll go to the end of the line because they got caught.
