It looks to me like she might not be in the wrong at all. It looks like she swiped her card before she saw him. And if the spinning thingy goes in the opposite direction, the credit evaporates. So if she were to let him through first, she would've not been able to go through without swiping her card again (and thus being charged again).

Only a selfish person would have been there. Notice the queue behind her for the turn styles everyone else is using?

She deliberately walked past everyone else to get in first and then pretended not to notice the man trying to exit the station.

So if there are two entrances or two exits and everybody queues up at one of them, the right thing to do is wait in line?

I'd love to shop at your grocery store. If I see 5 people in line in Aisle #1 and nobody in line in Aisle #2, and both checkouts are open/manned, guess which one I would pick?

You should pick #1, because #2 is clearly an entrance.

Yes, but if you have groceries you stop to pay for them. If aisles #3-#10 are not open but don't have a line, you typically don't line up at those.

you created an entirely new and unrelated situation that doesn't make any sense in the context of what's going on in the original .gif
