Back in the days when I drank Guinness regularly I got quite used to ordering the black beverage last. This wasn't because I wanted to annoy anyone but simply because I was fed up of reminding those serving my drink that it takes time to poor the drink and, yes, actually I'd quite like it poured properly rather than being left under a tap for a while.
On the subject of queuing, I've found a very good way of ensuring people get served in an appropriate order is not so much to say that I'm next but to point out that someone else is indeed just before me. It comes across as a lot less pushy.
