Lounge etiquette

Open question. I'm sure this will polarise opinions.

If you're entering a lounge with a card where they have to sign you in (e.g. priority pass or frequent flyer) is it OK for people with paper invites which don't have to be signed in (of the kind they hand out to biz class passengers at check in) to jump the queue?

Reason I ask is I was just entering busy lounge at MLA with my priority pass (after queueing) and some Italians marched in with paper invites, went to front of queue and shoved them under mine and receptionists nose whilst he was signing me in. I told them there was a queue and to go stand in it. Quite an argument ensued. Nothing came of it. We all got in lounge after more of a delay and bad feelings all round and causing a scene.

I appreciate Italians are never going ot be the best queuers but, was I being a prude or is this another example of rude antisocial behaviour at airports?
